Your vote, no matter the number of shares you own, will have a significant impact on your Funds success. MEGIs Board of Trustees recommends that you vote on the WHITE proxy card today. Vote all WHITE proxy cards you receive from MEGI. Discard any and all GOLD proxy cards you receive from Saba Capital Management, L.P. (Saba). We encourage you to consider the following as you make your decision: MEGIs board has been proactive in efforts to close the discount: Sabas proposed change to the Funds Independent trustee is not warranted: Approved an 15% increase to the Funds monthly distribution. Renamed the Fund with the goal of highlighting limited-term structure designed to benefit long-term shareholders. Initially structured the Fund as a term trust to ensure long term investors receive NAV upon termination of the trust. The Board maintains confidence in its ability and the investment managers ability to deliver attractive total returns and income over the life of the Fund. The Board and Fund management are committed to continued thoughtful actions designed to enhance long-term shareholder value and improving the relationship between the Funds Net Asset Value (NAV) and its market price. The Funds discount to NAV has improved materially from its low and is trading in-line with the peer group average. As infrastructure market conditions have improved demand for Fund shares has increased. The Funds discount has narrowed by 42% from its low of -18.25% on December 28 th , 2022 to -10.53% as of August 30, 2024. 1 1 Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 8/31/2024 Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 8/31/2024. Peer group includes (Tickers): ASGI, BUI, UTF, DPG, TEAF, MFD, UTG Bottom Line The Fund is under attack by Saba. Saba is a New York City based hedge fund with a long and established history of acting in its own self-interest including implementing initiatives that are intended to generate short-term profits to the benefit of Saba and its investors. Adding Sabas nominee could disrupt MEGIs operations, and Sabas nominee may propose a liquidity event that could adversely impact the Fund. The Fund plans to fight vigorously against Sabas nominee and will continue fighting for ALL shareholder. As such, we ask that Saba s Gold proxy cards should be discarded. If you have already signed and returned a gold proxy card, you have the right as a shareholder of the Fund to change your vote before the meeting takes place. You can do this by signing and returning the WHITE proxy card sent to you by the Fund, which will replace the proxy card you previously voted. If you have any questions, please contact our Proxy Solicitor, EQ Fund Solutions, at 800-848- 3374, Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM Eastern Time. Thank you for voting.
