KYN Announces Adjournment of Special Meeting of Stockholders
Houston, TX – October 22, 2020 – Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.

Stockholders are being asked to (i) approve an amendment to KYN’s investment objective, which is a fundamental investment policy of the Company, (ii) approve an amendment to the Company’s fundamental investment policy with respect to industry concentration.

Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual special meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the special meeting.
