Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company Announces Distribution and Provides Guidance for 2020

HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company (NYSE: KYN) (the “Company”) announced today its monthly distributions of $0.12 per share for each of January, February, and March 2020. These monthly distributions will be payable to common stockholders pursuant to the table below.

(1) The return of capital estimate is based on the Company’s anticipated earnings and profits for fiscal 2020. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will be made in early 2021 and may differ substantially from this preliminary information.

The Company announced that it plans to maintain the monthly distribution at $0.12 per share for the next 12 months (through the distribution to be paid in December 2020). Beyond this 12-month guidance period, management expects to recommend to the Company’s Board of Directors that it maintain the Company’s distribution at its current level for the foreseeable future. Payment of future distributions is subject to the Board of Directors approval, as well as meeting the covenants of the Company’s debt agreements and terms of its preferred stock.

“We understand how important distributions are to our investors, and we appreciate their desire for certainty on the Company’s distribution level,” said Jim Baker, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “After considering historical results, our outlook for the midstream sector, and the Company’s financial metrics, we have concluded that a stable distribution is the best course of action at this time. Over the longer term, our goal is to provide investors an attractive distribution that has the potential to increase, as supported by the Company’s financial results,” continued Mr. Baker. “The Company’s financial footing is sound, and its portfolio is oriented towards high-quality midstream companies, which we believe are well positioned to generate attractive returns for investors,” concluded Mr. Baker.
