The Fund currently intends to make regular monthly cash
distributions to holders of its common stock at a fixed rate per
share, to be determined based on the projected net rate of return
of the Fund's investments, subject to adjustment from time to
time. The Fund currently intends to pay its regular monthly
distributions out of its distributable cash flow, which generally
consists of (1) cash and paid-in-kind distributions from MLPs or
their affiliates, dividends from common stocks, interest from debt
instruments and income from other investments held by NML less (2)
current or accrued operating expenses, including leverage costs, if
any, and taxes on its taxable income.
The Fund expects that a portion of its distributions to
stockholders will constitute a non-taxable return of capital. A
"return of capital" is a distribution by the Fund that exceeds the
Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and which
represents a return of a common stockholder's original investment,
and should not be confused with a dividend. To the extent the
Fund pays a return of capital, a common stockholder's
basis in Fund shares will be reduced, which will increase
a capital gain or reduce a capital loss upon sale of those
shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will always
be able to pay distributions of a particular size, or that a
distribution will consist solely of the Fund's current and
accumulated earnings and profits.
In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, a notice would be provided for any distribution
that does not consist solely of income. The notice would be for
informational purposes, and would disclose, among other things,
estimated portions of the distribution, if any, consisting of
return of capital.
The Fund is subject to federal income tax on its taxable income,
unlike most investment companies. Any taxes paid by the Fund will
reduce the amount available to pay distributions to stockholders,
and therefore investors in the Fund will likely receive lower
distributions than if they invested directly in MLPs.
