OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ecofin Sustainable and Social Impact Term Fund (NYSE: TEAF) announced a 12.5% increase in its monthly distributions to $0.09 per share beginning in March and payable on the dates noted below. This distribution falls within the managed distribution target range of 6-8% of the Fund’s trailing average NAV and represents an annualized distribution rate of 7.05% based on TEAF’s market price of $15.31 on January 14, 2022.

“This distribution increase demonstrates our constructive view on the underlying assets in the portfolio over a full cycle,” said Nick Holmes, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager. “Our conviction behind the shift to more sustainable investments remains strong as does our view of the expected long-term total return of the portfolio with its diversified asset base and income streams. As a result, we expect to monetize a portion of the total return over time and deliver that return to shareholders in the form of distributions.”

TEAF monthly distributions are payable on March 31, 2022, April 29, 2022, and May 31, 2022, to shareholders of record on the respective dates of March 24, 2022, April 22, 2022, and May 24, 2022.

For book purposes, the source of distributions for TEAF is estimated to be approximately 90 to 100% ordinary income, with the remainder as return of capital. For tax purposes, the characterization will not be made until determination of earnings and profits after year end.
