New York, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — This press release is related to the Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. provided to the shareholders of psf (“Fund”) with information about the sources of distributions to be paid March 31, 2023 and cumulative distributions paid from fiscal year to year.
In December 2016, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with the exemption relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Managed Distribution Policy seeks to generate the long-term total return potential of the fund through regular monthly distributions at a specified rate per share. The policy allows the fund greater flexibility to seek long-term capital gains throughout the year and distribute those gains to shareholders on a regular monthly basis. The Board of Directors of the Fund may modify, terminate or suspend the Managed Distribution Policy at any time, which may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Fund’s shares.
The Fund’s monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital consists of distributions paid by the fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the fund’s assets. The return of capital is not taxable; Rather, it reduces the shareholder’s tax basis in his shares of the fund. Monthly distribution amounts may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.
At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted on cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in concurrent notices. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of distributions of the Fund cannot be determined with certainty until the end of the calendar year. The final tax characteristics of all distributions from the Fund will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the end of the calendar year.
The following table sets forth the approximate amounts of current distributions and cumulative distributions paid through this fiscal year-to-date from the indicated sources. All amounts are expressed per common share.
