Cohen & Steers Closed-End Funds Declare Distributions for January, February and March 2017

NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boards of Directors of Cohen & Steers Closed-End Funds announced today the monthly distributions for January, February and March, as summarized in the charts below:

Distributions will be made on the following schedule:

Cohen & Steers Global Income Builder, Inc. has decreased its monthly distribution by $0.008 per share, to $0.069 per share. The distribution for the Fund has been adjusted to reflect current market conditions.

Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Global Income Builder, Inc., Cohen & Steers MLP Income and Energy Opportunity Fund, Inc. and Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred Income Fund, Inc. pay regular monthly cash distributions to common shareholders at a level rate that may be adjusted from time to time. Each fund's distributions reflect net investment income, and may also include net realized capital gains and/or return of capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid by a fund in excess of its net investment income. Such excess is distributed from the fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by a fund may be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.

Distributions of a fund's investment in real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs) and/or closed-end funds (CEFs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to each fund after year end by the REITs, MLPs and CEFs held by a fund.

Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. and Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. only:

Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. and Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. declared their monthly distributions pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plans (the "Fund"). Each Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The policy gives each Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. Information can also be found on the Funds' website at cohenandsteers.com. The Board of Directors of each Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of each Fund's shares.

Each Fund's distributions may include net investment income, long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains and/or return of capital. Under the plan, prior to the payment date of the distribution every month, each Fund will issue a press release and a notice containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information to shareholders of record on the record date.
