DALLAS, Feb. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cushing® Energy Income Fund
(formerly known as the Cushing® Royalty & Income Fund)
(NYSE: SRF) declared a distribution for February 2020 of $0.04 per common share. The Fund's distribution
will be payable on February 28, 2020
to shareholders of record on February
14, 2020. The ex-date for the Fund's distribution is
February 13, 2020.
It is anticipated but not certain that approximately 95% of the
Fund's distribution will be treated as a return of capital. The
final determination of such amounts will be made and reported to
shareholders in early 2021, after the end of the calendar year when
the Fund determines its earnings and profits for the year. The
final tax status of the distributions may differ substantially from
this preliminary information.
Effective immediately, Matthew A.
Lemme no longer serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund.
Except for this change, the portfolio management team for the Fund
remains the same.
The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved a continuation of the
waiver of the Fund's management fees, in the amount of 0.50% of the
Fund's Managed Assets, for the next twelve months, beginning as of
February 1, 2020.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company with an investment objective of seeking a high total return
with an emphasis on current income. The Fund seeks to provide
shareholders with a tax-efficient vehicle to invest in a portfolio
of public and private securities of energy companies involved in
exploring, developing, producing, transporting, gathering and
processing, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing
natural gas, natural gas liquids (including propane), crude oil,
refined products or coal. The Fund will invest no more than
25% of its total assets in securities of energy master limited
partnerships ("MLPs") that qualify as publicly traded partnerships
under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund is traded on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRF."
The Fund is managed by Cushing® Asset Management, LP
("Cushing"). No assurance can be
given that the Fund's investment objective will be achieved.
