(NYSE:TTP) and Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE:TPZ) with information regarding the sources of the distributions paid on Nov. 29, 2024, and cumulative distributions paid fiscal year-to-date.

The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distributions, payable Nov. 29, 2024, and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of capital.

Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc.

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.

You should not draw any conclusions about TTP's or TPZ's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of TTP's and TPZ's distribution policies.

TTP and TPZ estimate that they have distributed more than their income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TTP and/or TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TTP's and/or TPZ's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TTP's and TPZ's investment experience during the remainder of their fiscal years and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TTP and/or TPZ will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Tortoise Capital Advisors is the Adviser to the Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. and the Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.
