Cushing® Energy Income Fund Announces Monthly Distribution

DALLAS, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cushing^® Energy Income Fund (formerly known as the Cushing^® Royalty & Income Fund) (NYSE: SRF) declared a distribution for August 2019 of $0.04 per common share. The Fund's distribution will be payable on August 30, 2019 to shareholders of record on August 16, 2019.  The ex-date for the Fund's distribution is August 15, 2019.

It is anticipated but not certain that approximately 100% of the Fund's distribution will be treated as a return of capital. The final determination of such amounts will be made and reported to shareholders in early 2020, after the end of the calendar year when the Fund determines its earnings and profits for the year. The final tax status of the distributions may differ substantially from this preliminary information.

The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with an investment objective of seeking a high total return with an emphasis on current income.  The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a tax-efficient vehicle to invest in a portfolio of public and private securities of energy companies involved in exploring, developing, producing, transporting, gathering and processing, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing natural gas, natural gas liquids (including propane), crude oil, refined products or coal.  The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of energy master limited partnerships ("MLPs") that qualify as publicly traded partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Fund is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRF."

The Fund is managed by Cushing^® Asset Management, LP ("Cushing"). No assurance can be given that the Fund's investment objective will be achieved.
