OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESSWIRE / October 2, 2023 / Tortoise announced today the commencement of cash tender offers for each of the following Funds.

Fund	Tender Offer Amount
TYG	Up to 5% or 566,575 of its outstanding common shares
NTG	Up to 5% or 268,042 of its outstanding common shares
TTP	Up to 5% or 105,819 of its outstanding common shares
NDP	Up to 5% or 87,684 of its outstanding common shares
TPZ	Up to 5% or 310,008 of its outstanding common shares

Each tender offer will be conducted at a price equal to 98% of each Fund's net asset value (NAV) per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the date the tender offer expires. Each tender offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time on November 1, 2023, or on such later date to which the offer is extended. The pricing date will also be November 1, 2023, unless extended. If the number of shares tendered exceeds the maximum amount of a tender offer, the Fund will purchase shares from tendering shareholders on a pro-rata basis (disregarding fractional shares). Accordingly, there is no assurance that a Fund will purchase all of a shareholder's tendered common shares in connection with the relevant tender offer.

Each Fund may sell portfolio instruments during the pendency of its tender offer to raise cash for the purchase of common shares. Thus, it is likely that during the pendency of each tender offer, and possibly for a short time thereafter, each Fund will hold a greater than normal percentage of its net assets in cash and cash equivalents. This larger cash position may interfere with a Fund's ability to meet its investment objectives and invest consistent with its investment strategy.
