OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2023 / Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. and Tortoise Midstream Energy Fund, Inc. (NYSE:TYG) (NYSE:NTG) (the "Funds") announce the release of the annual stockholders' report for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2022. The annual report is available online at cef.tortoiseecofin.com. Please call (866) 362-9331 or email [email protected] to request a hard copy of this report free of charge.
The Funds have also released the restated financial statements for the fiscal periods ended November 30, 2021 and May 31, 2022. The restated reports are available at cef.tortoiseecofin.com.
As previously announced, the delay in publishing the current year financial statements and the determination to restate the prior period financial statements arose out of the Funds' anticipated conversion from a corporation to Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") for federal income tax purposes for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2022. The Funds had taken certain tax positions at the fiscal year ending November 30, 2021, in connection with such anticipated conversions and re-evaluated those positions in the course of completing the current year financial statements. As a result, the TYG and NTG financial statements as of and for the fiscal period ending November 30, 2021, and May 31, 2022, were restated to reflect unaccrued tax liabilities in connection with the conversion.
On February 9, 2023, the Funds concluded to not complete the conversion to a RIC as of the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 as planned. As a result of the Funds' change in intention, the additional tax liability accrued was derecognized on February 9, 2023. Based on the NAV as stated on February 8, 2023, the estimated impact to each Fund's NAV as a result of not converting to a RIC is approximately (1.5%).
A summary of the Fund's previously reported NAVs is as follows:
