CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:    This report of Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections indicated in any forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in economic and political conditions; regulatory and legal changes; energy infrastructure company industry risk; leverage risk; valuation risk; interest rate risk; tax risk; and other risks discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein. There is no assurance that the Company’s investment objectives will be attained.

All investments in securities involve risks, including the possible loss of principal. The value of an investment in the Company could be volatile, and you could suffer losses of some or a substantial portion of the amount invested. The Company’s concentration of investments in energy infrastructure companies subjects it to the risks of midstream, renewable infrastructure and utility entities and the energy sector, including the risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. Leverage creates risks that may adversely affect return, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares and fluctuations in distribution rates, which increases a stockholder’s risk of loss.

Performance data quoted in this report represent past performance and are for the stated time period only. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown based on market fluctuations from the end of the reported period.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

January 21, 2021

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

We hope that you and your families have been able to remain safe and healthy during these difficult times. Due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the last 12 months will almost certainly be remembered as one of the most disruptive periods in modern history. A tragic number of lives have been lost and it has wreaked havoc on people’s livelihoods. The team at Kayne Anderson applauds the heroic efforts of the people on the front line of this crisis.

In response to the pandemic, nations across the globe have taken extraordinary steps to control the spread of the virus and lessen the economic fallout. Economic activity has recovered from its lows during the second quarter of 2020, and our outlook for the new year is best described as cautiously optimistic. Great progress has been made in treating those with the most severe COVID-19 symptoms, and the speed at which vaccines and therapeutics have been developed is astounding. Mass distribution of these vaccines should help the world get this health crisis under control during 2021.

As discussed in this annual letter, we are very excited about the Energy Transition and the opportunities it will create for the energy infrastructure sector.¹ Kayne Anderson has a large, experienced team of investment professionals focused on identifying companies best positioned to benefit from this megatrend. In our opinion, KYN — with its flexible investment mandate, permanent capital base, and expertise in providing strategic capital solutions to both public and private companies — is particularly well suited to capitalize on this opportunity.

While 2020 was a very challenging year, KYN weathered the storm and outperformed its closed-end fund peers. Importantly, we prudently managed KYN’s balance sheet during the downturn, and the Company exited the year on strong financial footing. Further, we made some important changes to KYN’s investment policies during 2020 to ensure the Company has the flexibility to invest across the full spectrum of energy infrastructure companies. We acknowledge that last year was difficult for our investors, but we believe the cumulative impact of the actions taken during 2020 will accrue to our stockholders’ benefit for many years to come.

In addition to reviewing this annual letter, we encourage investors to listen to the podcasts available on our website (www.kaynefunds.com/insights). The goal of these podcasts is to provide KYN’s investors frequent updates on the Company’s performance and insightful discussions on industry news and trends.

KYN Strategic Initiatives

In July 2020, we announced an expansion of the Company’s focus within energy infrastructure to include portfolio allocations to renewable infrastructure companies and utilities. In conjunction with this announcement, we changed KYN’s name from “Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company” to “Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.” We believe KYN’s new name better reflects the fund’s strategy and targeted investments. We also received approval from KYN’s shareholders last fall to amend certain fundamental investment guidelines, allowing the Company more flexibility to invest across the different sub-sectors of the energy infrastructure industry. Historically, KYN focused almost exclusively on the midstream sector, and these modifications enable the Company to capitalize on the global push to use a lower carbon mix of energy resources.

KYN made very good progress transitioning the portfolio during fiscal 2020. At the start of the year, less than 1% of KYN’s portfolio was invested in renewable infrastructure companies and utilities, while

¹  As defined on page 3 in the section titled “The Energy Transition”.

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

today, the Company’s allocation to these two sub-sectors is almost 20%. While we anticipate increasing KYN’s holdings in these types of companies during 2021, the fund does not have fixed portfolio weights for the midstream, renewable, and utility sectors. Rather, the Company’s portfolio composition will vary over time based on relative valuations and return expectations for these energy infrastructure sub-sectors.

The Energy Transition

One of the greatest challenges the world will deal with over the next decade is climate change, and nations across the globe are dedicating significant resources to tackling this problem. Over the last year, many countries announced ambitious goals to reduce emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gasses. These policies are designed to foster investments in renewable energy, electrification of vehicles, and technologies that reduce emissions. In addition to helping fight the impact of climate change, many of these policies will help stimulate local economies and provide employment opportunities for workers displaced as a result of the pandemic. Corporations are getting involved as well, with many large companies pledging to increase their use of renewable energy and reduce their carbon footprints. The industry jargon for this trend is the “Energy Transition,” which is defined as the transition away from traditional carbon-based fuels to a more sustainable mix of lower carbon and renewable energy sources. This transition is already having a meaningful impact on the energy and infrastructure sectors, and we expect it to become even more influential in the coming decades.

While events over the last few years should serve as a notice to companies in all facets of the energy industry that their businesses must adapt to this transition, the commentary about the pending obsolescence of fossil fuels — in our opinion — misses the mark. Our existing hydrocarbon-based energy system is globally interconnected and evolved into its current form over the last half-century. The use of renewable energy will rapidly grow, but fossil fuels will remain a critical piece of the puzzle for many years to come.

Energy Industry Update

The collapse in economic activity during the first and second quarters of 2020 resulted in a massive contraction in demand for energy-related commodities. This “demand shock” placed an enormous strain on all parts of the energy industry — there has never been such a severe and lengthy shut down of the global economy. Demand for energy-related commodities has started to recover, but it will likely take at least another 12 months before recovering to pre-pandemic levels. The energy sector navigated this “once in a lifetime” event about as well as could be expected. Critical services continued without any major disruptions, production shut-ins alleviated concerns about adequate storage capacity, and many energy companies responded to the downturn prudently by reducing capital expenditures, lowering operating costs, and protecting their balance sheets.

For oil and gas companies, many of the trends that began over the last two years (cost control, increased capital efficiency, and returning capital to investors) will be even more important in 2021 and beyond. Domestic production, which is currently well below recent peak levels, should start to grow again later this year. That said, we expect domestic oil and gas production will grow at a much more measured rate and will likely remain below its peak for many years to come. The rapid production growth experienced for much of the last decade is a thing of the past. This is not necessarily a bad outcome for the sector – we believe this will eventually translate into a much-improved supply/demand balance and will be supportive of more sustainable commodity prices.

As we consider the outlook for midstream companies in this environment, we believe two themes will resonate with investors. First, after many years of relying on the capital markets to finance growth

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

projects, midstream companies are now self-financing and are poised to start generating attractive free cash flow yields during 2021. Second, many midstream companies are starting to embrace environmental, social, and governance (typically referred to as “ESG”) best practices and are thoughtfully addressing questions about the sustainability of their operations and businesses. These developments are encouraging, and we believe they should help the sector regain credibility with investors.

KYN Performance Review

Investing in energy infrastructure over the past year was extremely challenging. During fiscal 2020, the total return for the Alerian MLP Index (or AMZ) was negative 25% and the Alerian Midstream Energy Index (or AMNA) was negative 18%. KYN’s Net Asset Value Return was negative 44% for the year — the worst annual performance in the Company’s 16-year history.² Competitor funds fared substantially worse — the average Net Asset Value Return for KYN’s closed-end fund peers was negative 62%. Although the Company outperformed its average peer by 17%, we are very disappointed by KYN’s overall performance. Since the market lows last spring, KYN’s performance has been extremely strong, with an adjusted NAV return of 174%, significantly outperforming the AMZ (total return of 135%) and the AMNA (total return of 109%). Looking forward, we believe KYN’s diversified portfolio of energy infrastructure investments is well positioned to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Another measure of the Company’s performance is Market Return, which was negative 47% for fiscal 2020.³ This measure is worse than our Net Asset Value Return because our stock price went from trading at a 9.6% discount to NAV at the beginning of fiscal 2020 to trading at a 14.6% discount at the end of fiscal 2020. We will continue to monitor KYN’s stock price relative to its NAV and will consider alternatives should this wider-than-normal discount persist.

KYN Distributions

During fiscal 2020 we made the difficult decision to reduce KYN’s distribution to a quarterly rate of 15 cents per share. We understand how important distributions are to our investors, but felt this reduction was the prudent financial decision.

Historically, our distributions have been funded generally by net distributable income (or NDI), which is the amount of income received by us from our portfolio investments, less operating expenses. We expect NDI to be one of several factors considered by the Company’s Board of Directors when determining KYN’s distribution in future periods. While this may seem like a nuanced comment, we believe given the recent changes in KYN’s investment focus it is important to consider more than just NDI. For example, KYN’s holdings of renewable infrastructure companies and utilities tend to have lower dividend yields than most midstream companies (which reduces KYN’s NDI). Offsetting these lower yields are higher expected growth rates in earnings, cash flow, and dividends for many of these companies (which would typically result in higher rates of capital appreciation). Taking other factors into account (such as realized and unrealized gains and expected returns for portfolio investments) affords us more flexibility to meet one of our most important long-term goals — providing investors an attractive distribution.

²  Net Asset Return is defined as the change in net asset value per share plus cash distributions paid during the period (assuming reinvestment through our dividend reinvestment plan).

³  Market Return is defined as the change in share price plus cash distributions paid during the period (assuming reinvestment through our dividend reinvestment plan).

KYN Outlook

Management is excited about what is in store for the Company over the next decade. The last year was like none we have seen in the Company’s 16-year history. KYN navigated the downturn and, in our opinion, made necessary changes to position KYN to thrive during the Energy Transition.

As we have discussed in prior annual letters, the midstream industry has transformed itself over the last five years. Simplifications, restructurings, and roll-ups have materially altered midstream companies’ business structures. Most midstream companies have completed their large, multi-year capital spending programs and are now focused on optimizing their current asset footprints. As a result, these companies are poised to generate material amounts of free cash flow over the next five to ten years.

Our outlook for midstream equities over the next 12 to 18 months is positive and I would like to provide a few statistics to support this bullish thesis. Based on our estimates, the top 10 midstream names in KYN’s portfolio trade at an average of 9x enterprise value to 2021 EBITDA. This is well below historical trading ranges of 11x to 13x. Further, we estimate that EBITDA for those ten companies during 2021 will be roughly equal to 2019 levels (which was a year of record financial results for the midstream sector). We do not think the sector is getting enough credit for the resiliency of its cash flows during the pandemic. Further, these companies have an average dividend yield of 9% and are projected to have an average free cash flow yield of 14% in 2021. We expect these companies to consistently deliver free cash flow over the next decade, which can be used to reduce debt, repurchase stock, and/or increase distributions.

President Biden’s inauguration took place earlier this week. While the new administration will almost certainly take a different stance on fossil fuels than the Trump administration, we are hopeful President Biden and his team will take a pragmatic approach to conventional energy and the infrastructure assets that facilitate the movement of energy-related commodities. Addressing climate change is a clear priority of the new administration, and President Biden’s stated policy goals include some very ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions. We expect these policies to be beneficial for KYN’s investments in renewable infrastructure companies and utilities. These companies generate predictable, recurring cash flows, and their operating results have been minimally impacted by the pandemic. We believe these companies are in the early stages of a period of outsized investment and growth — trends supporting this thesis include supportive government and corporate de-carbonization policies and targets, growth in ESG and impact investing, and the electrification of the transportation sector.

We appreciate your investment in the Company and look forward to executing on our investment objective of achieving high after-tax total returns. KYN’s flexible mandate within the energy infrastructure industry will serve it well, as will the Company’s size and scale. I have little doubt that the next ten years will bring meaningful changes to the sector, but our diverse team of industry experts is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,

James C. Baker

Chairman of the Board

President and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

(UNAUDITED)

Company Overview

Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company” or “KYN”) is a non-diversified, closed-end fund that commenced operations in September 2004. Our investment objective (as approved at the Special Meeting of Stockholders on October 29, 2020) is to provide a high after-tax total return with an emphasis on making cash distributions to stockholders. We intend to achieve our investment objective by investing at least 80% of our total assets in the securities of Energy Infrastructure Companies. Please refer to the Glossary of Key Terms for the meaning of capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein.

As of November 30, 2020, we had total assets of $1.3 billion, net assets applicable to our common stockholders of $873 million (net asset value of $6.90 per share), and 126.4 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Recent Events

On December 9, 2020, the Board of Directors amended KYN’s bylaws. Under the new bylaws, KYN has elected to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (“MCSAA”). The MCSAA seeks to limit the ability of an acquiring person to achieve a short-term gain at the expense of the Company’s ability to pursue its investment objective and policies and to seek long-term value for the rest of the Company’s stockholders. The amended and restated bylaws are available in the Governance section of the Company’s website (www.kaynefunds.com/kyn).

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

(UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of NDI to GAAP

The difference between distributions and other income from investments in the NDI calculation and total investment income as reported in our Statement of Operations is reconciled as follows:

• A significant portion of the cash distributions received from our investments is characterized as return of capital. For GAAP purposes, return of capital distributions are excluded from investment income, whereas the NDI calculation includes the return of capital portion of such distributions.

• GAAP recognizes distributions received from our investments that exceed the cost basis of our securities to be realized gains and are therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the NDI calculation includes these distributions.

• NDI includes the value of paid-in-kind dividends and distributions, whereas such amounts are not included as investment income for GAAP purposes, but rather are recorded as unrealized gains upon receipt.

• NDI includes commitment fees from PIPE investments, whereas such amounts are generally not included in investment income for GAAP purposes, but rather are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the investment.

• We may hold debt securities from time to time. Certain of our investments in debt securities may be purchased at a discount or premium to the par value of such security. When making such investments, we consider the security’s yield to maturity, which factors in the impact of such discount (or premium). Interest income reported under GAAP includes the non-cash accretion of the discount (or amortization of the premium) based on the effective interest method. When we calculate interest income for purposes of determining NDI, in order to better reflect the yield to maturity, the accretion of the discount (or amortization of the premium) is calculated on a straight-line basis to the earlier of the expected call date or the maturity of the debt security.

• We may sell covered call option contracts to generate income or to reduce our ownership of certain securities that we hold. In some cases, we are able to repurchase these call option contracts at a price less than the call premium that we received, thereby generating a profit. The premium we receive from selling call options, less (i) the premium that we pay to repurchase such call option contracts and (ii) the amount by which the market price of an underlying security is above the strike price at the time a new call option is written (if any), is included in NDI. For GAAP purposes, premiums received from call option contracts sold are not included in investment income. See Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies for the GAAP treatment of option contracts.

The treatment of expenses included in NDI also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations as follows:

• The non-cash amortization or write-offs of capitalized debt issuance costs, premiums on newly issued debt and preferred stock offering costs related to our financings is included in interest expense and distributions on mandatory redeemable preferred stock for GAAP purposes, but is excluded from our calculation of NDI.

• For GAAP purposes, offering costs incurred related to the issuance of common stock reduce paid-in capital when stock is issued. Certain costs related to registration statements or shelf offerings may be written off once the registration statement or prospectus’ usefulness has expired. The non-cash amortization or write-off of these offering costs is included in operating expense for GAAP purposes, but is excluded from our calculation of NDI.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

(UNAUDITED)

• NDI also includes recurring payments (or receipts) on interest rate swap contracts or the amortization of termination payments on interest rate swap contracts entered into in anticipation of an offering of Notes or MRP Shares. The termination payments on interest rate swap contracts are amortized over the term of the Notes or MRP Shares issued. For GAAP purposes, these amounts are included in the realized gains (losses) section of the Statement of Operations in the period in which the termination payments were incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 2020, we had total leverage outstanding of $372 million, which represented 30% of total assets. Total leverage was comprised of $173 million of Notes, $62 million of borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and $137 million of MRP Shares. At such date we had $0.2 million of cash. As of January 21, 2021, we had $112 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility and we had $2 million of cash.

Our Credit Facility has a total commitment of $225 million and matures on February 8, 2021. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility may vary between LIBOR plus 1.30% and LIBOR plus 2.15%, depending on our asset coverage ratios. We pay a fee of 0.20% per annum on any unused amounts of the Credit Facility. We have launched a process to renew this facility and expect to complete this renewal process in early February 2021.

As of November 30, 2020, we had $173 million of Notes outstanding that mature between 2021 and 2025. As of November 30, 2020, we had $137 million of MRP Shares outstanding that are subject to mandatory redemption between 2021 and 2030. We expect to have sufficient borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility to refinance the $34 million of Notes and $35 million of MRP Shares that come due in fiscal 2021.

At November 30, 2020, our asset coverage ratios under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), were 529% for debt and 335% for total leverage (debt plus preferred stock). As of January 21, 2021, our asset coverage ratios were 496% for debt and 335% for total leverage. As of January 21, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants of our debt agreements and the terms of our preferred stock.

Our target asset coverage ratio with respect to our debt is 480% and our target total leverage asset coverage ratio is 360%. At times we may be above or below these targets depending on market conditions as well as certain other factors.

As of November 30, 2020, our total leverage consisted 83% of fixed rate obligations and 17% of floating rate obligations. At such date, the weighted average interest/dividend rate on our total leverage was 3.31%.

  (1) Based on average shares of common stock outstanding.

  (2) Distributions on the Company’s MRP Shares are treated as an operating expense under GAAP and are included in the calculation of net investment income (loss). See Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies.

  (3) The information presented for each period is a characterization of the total distributions paid to common stockholders as either a dividend (eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income) or a distribution (return of capital) and is based on the Company’s earnings and profits.

  (4) Represents offering costs incurred in connection with the merger of Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company.

  (5) Total investment return based on market value is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock at the market price on the first day and a sale at the current market price on the last day of the period reported. The calculation also assumes reinvestment of distributions at actual prices pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

  (6) Total investment return based on net asset value is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset value on the last day of the period reported. The calculation also assumes reinvestment of distributions at actual prices pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

  (7) Unless otherwise noted, ratios are annualized.

  (8) For the fiscal years ended November 30, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015, the Company reported an income tax benefit of $190,326 (17.9% of average net assets), $43,357 (2.1% of average net assets), $175,827 (8.3% of average net assets), $86,746 (4.1% of average net assets) and $980,647 (30.7% of average net assets), respectively.

Represents the value of total assets less all liabilities not represented by Notes (principal value) or any other senior securities representing indebtedness and MRP Shares (liquidation value) divided by the aggregate amount of Notes and any other senior securities representing indebtedness. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not declare or make any distribution on its common stock nor can it incur additional indebtedness if, at the time of such declaration or incurrence, its asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness would be less than 300%.

(11) Calculated pursuant to section 18(a)(2)(A) of the 1940 Act. Represents the value of total assets less all liabilities not represented by Notes (principal value), any other senior securities representing indebtedness and MRP Shares (liquidation value) divided by the aggregate amount of Notes, any other senior securities representing indebtedness and MRP Shares. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not declare or make any distribution on its common stock nor can it issue additional preferred stock if at the time of such declaration or issuance, its asset coverage with respect to all senior securities would be less than 200%.

1. Organization

Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company” or “KYN”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 4, 2004, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company commenced operations on September 28, 2004. The Company’s shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) under the symbol “KYN.”

On September 28, 2020, the previously announced change to the Company’s name (from Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company to Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.) took effect. The previously announced changes to certain of KYN’s non-fundamental investment policies also went into effect on this date. In addition, as approved at the Special Meeting of Stockholders on October 29, 2020, the Company’s investment objective was modified to be as follows: “to provide a high after-tax total return with an emphasis on making cash distributions to stockholders.” The Company intends to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its total assets in securities of Energy Infrastructure Companies.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies that the Company uses to prepare its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 — “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”

A. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

B. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and include money market fund accounts.

C. Calculation of Net Asset Value —  The Company determines its net asset value on a daily basis and reports its net asset value on its website. Net asset value is computed by dividing the value of the Company’s assets (including accrued interest and distributions and current and deferred income tax assets), less all of its liabilities (including accrued expenses, distributions payable, current and deferred accrued income taxes, and any borrowings) and the liquidation value of any outstanding preferred stock, by the total number of common shares outstanding.

D. Investment Valuation — Readily marketable portfolio securities listed on any exchange (including a foreign exchange) other than the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on such day. Securities admitted to trade on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities.

23

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities admitted to trading on the NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices. Debt securities that are considered bonds are valued by using the bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if such prices are not available or in the judgment of KA Fund Advisors, LLC (“KAFA”) such prices are stale or do not represent fair value, by an independent broker. For debt securities that are considered bank loans, the fair market value is determined by using the bid price provided by the agent or syndicate bank or principal market maker. When price quotes for securities are not available, or such prices are stale or do not represent fair value in the judgment of KAFA, fair market value will be determined using the Company’s valuation process for securities that are privately issued or otherwise restricted as to resale.

Exchange-traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last sales price at the close of trading in the market where such contracts are principally traded or, if there was no sale on the applicable exchange on such day, at the mean between the quoted bid and ask price as of the close of such exchange.

The Company may hold securities that are privately issued or otherwise restricted as to resale. For these securities, as well as any security for which (a) reliable market quotations are not available in the judgment of KAFA, or (b) the independent pricing service or independent broker does not provide prices or provides a price that in the judgment of KAFA is stale or does not represent fair value, each shall be valued in a manner that most fairly reflects fair value of the security on the valuation date. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the following valuation process is used for such securities:

• Investment Team Valuation.    The applicable investments are valued by senior professionals of KAFA who are responsible for the portfolio investments. The investments will be valued monthly with new investments valued at the time such investment was made.

• Investment Team Valuation Documentation.    Preliminary valuation conclusions will be determined by senior management of KAFA. Such valuations and supporting documentation are submitted to the Valuation Committee (a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors) and the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

• Valuation Committee.    The Valuation Committee meets to consider the valuations submitted by KAFA at the end of each quarter. Between meetings of the Valuation Committee, a senior officer of KAFA is authorized to make valuation determinations. All valuation determinations of the Valuation Committee are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors at its next regular meeting.

• Valuation Firm.    Quarterly, a third-party valuation firm engaged by the Board of Directors reviews the valuation methodologies and calculations employed for these securities, unless the aggregate fair value of such security is less than 0.1% of total assets.

• Board of Directors Determination.    The Board of Directors meets quarterly to consider the valuations provided by KAFA and the Valuation Committee and ratify valuations for the applicable securities. The Board of Directors considers the report provided by the third-party valuation firm in reviewing and determining in good faith the fair value of the applicable portfolio securities.

At November 30, 2020, the Company held 12.8% of its net assets applicable to common stockholders (8.9% of total assets) in securities that were fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors (Level 3 securities). The aggregate fair value of these securities at November 30, 2020 was $111,598. See Note 3 — Fair Value and Note 7 — Restricted Securities.

E. Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for on the date these securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification cost basis method for GAAP purposes. For tax purposes, the Company utilizes the average cost method to compute the adjusted tax cost basis of its MLP securities.

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

F. Return of Capital Estimates — Dividends and distributions received from the Company’s investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. At the time such dividends and distributions are received, the Company estimates the amount of such payments that is considered investment income and the amount that is considered a return of capital. The Company estimates the return of capital portion of dividends and distributions received from investments based on historical information available and other information provided by certain investments. Return of capital estimates are adjusted to actual in the subsequent fiscal year when final tax reporting information related to the Company’s investments is received.

The return of capital portion of the distributions is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized gains (losses). If the distributions received by the Company exceed its cost basis (i.e. its cost basis has been reduced to zero), the distributions are treated as realized gains.

The Company includes all distributions received on its Statement of Operations and reduces its investment income by (i) the estimated return of capital and (ii) the distributions in excess of cost basis, if any. The distributions that were in excess of cost basis were treated as realized gains.

In accordance with GAAP, the return of capital cost basis reductions for the Company’s investments are limited to the total amount of the cash distributions received from such investments.

The following table sets forth the Company’s estimated return of capital portion of the dividends and distributions received from its investments that were not treated as distributions in excess of cost basis.

	For the Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2020
Dividends and distributions (before foreign taxes withheld of $544 and excluding distributions in excess of cost basis)	$	141,749
Dividends and distributions — % return of capital		89	%
Return of capital — attributable to net realized gains (losses)	$	32,707
Return of capital — attributable to net change in unrealized gains (losses)		92,823
Total return of capital	$	125,530

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company estimated the return of capital portion of dividends and distributions received to be $116,971 (83%). During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company increased its return of capital estimate for the year by $8,559 due to 2019 tax reporting information received by the Company in fiscal 2020. As a result, the return of capital percentage for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 was 89%. In addition, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company estimated the cash distributions received that were in excess of cost basis to be $8,440. Distributions in excess of cost basis for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 were increased by $43 due to 2019 tax reporting information received by the Company in fiscal 2020.

G. Investment Income — The Company records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. When investing in securities with paid-in-kind interest, the Company will accrue interest income during the life of the security even though it will not be receiving cash as the interest is accrued. To the extent that interest income to be received is not expected to be realized, a reserve against income is established.

25

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

Debt securities that the Company may hold will typically be purchased at a discount or premium to the par value of the security. The non-cash accretion of a discount to par value increases interest income while the non-cash amortization of a premium to par value decreases interest income. The accretion of a discount and amortization of a premium are based on the effective interest method. The amount of these non-cash adjustments, if any, can be found in the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows. The non-cash accretion of a discount increases the cost basis of the debt security, which results in an offsetting unrealized loss. The non-cash amortization of a premium decreases the cost basis of the debt security, which results in an offsetting unrealized gain. To the extent that par value is not expected to be realized, the Company discontinues accruing the non-cash accretion of the discount to par value of the debt security.

The Company may receive paid-in-kind and non-cash dividends and distributions in the form of additional units or shares from its investments. For paid-in-kind dividends, the additional units are not reflected in investment income during the period received, but are recorded as unrealized gains upon receipt. Non-cash distributions are reflected in investment income because the Company has the option to receive its distributions in cash or in additional units of the security. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company did not receive any paid-in-kind dividends or non-cash distributions.

H. Distributions to Stockholders — Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to holders of MRP Shares are accrued on a daily basis. As required by the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 480), the Company includes the accrued distributions on its MRP Shares as an operating expense due to the fixed term of this obligation. For tax purposes, payments made to the holders of the Company’s MRP Shares are treated as dividends or distributions.

The characterization of the distributions paid to holders of MRP Shares and common stock as either a dividend (eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income) or a distribution (return of capital) is determined after the end of the fiscal year based on the Company’s actual earnings and profits and, therefore, the characterization may differ substantially from preliminary estimates.

I. Partnership Accounting Policy — The Company records its pro-rata share of the income (loss), to the extent of distributions it has received, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly. These amounts are included in the Company’s Statement of Operations.

J. Taxes — The Company, as a corporation, is obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. The Company invests in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Company includes its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income or loss in computing its own taxable income. Deferred income taxes reflect (i) taxes on unrealized gains (losses), which are attributable to the difference between fair value and tax cost basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating and capital losses. To the extent the Company has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given as to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. The need to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically by the Company based on the Income Tax Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740), that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In the assessment for a valuation allowance, consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax asset. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability (which are highly dependent on

future cash distributions from the Company’s holdings), the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that certain loss carryforwards may expire unused.

The Company may rely to some extent on information provided by companies, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to the units/shares of companies held in the portfolio and to estimate the associated current and/or deferred tax liability. Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Company modifies its estimates or assumptions regarding the deferred tax liability. See Note 6 — Income Taxes.

The Company may be subject to withholding taxes on foreign-sourced income and accrues such taxes when the related income is earned.

The Company utilizes the average cost method to compute the adjusted tax cost basis of its MLP securities.

The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. Tax years subsequent to fiscal year 2015 remain open and subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities.

K. Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments in its operations.

Interest rate swap contracts.    The Company may use hedging techniques such as interest rate swaps to mitigate potential interest rate risk on a portion of the Company’s leverage. Such interest rate swaps would principally be used to protect the Company against higher costs on its leverage resulting from increases in interest rates. The Company does not hedge any interest rate risk associated with portfolio holdings. Interest rate transactions the Company may use for hedging purposes may expose it to certain risks that differ from the risks associated with its portfolio holdings. A decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap contracts, which, everything else being held constant, would result in a decline in the net assets of the Company. In addition, if the counterparty to an interest rate swap defaults, the Company would not be able to use the anticipated net receipts under the interest rate swap to offset its cost of financial leverage.

Interest rate swap contracts are recorded at fair value with changes in value during the reporting period, and amounts accrued under the agreements, included as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Monthly cash settlements under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements or termination payments are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. The Company generally values its interest rate swap contracts based on dealer quotations, if available, or by discounting the future cash flows from the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market. See Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments.

Option contracts.    The Company is also exposed to financial market risks including changes in the valuations of its investment portfolio. The Company may purchase or write (sell) call options. A call option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option.

The Company would realize a gain on a purchased call option if, during the option period, the value of such securities exceeded the sum of the exercise price, the premium paid and transaction costs; otherwise the Company would realize either no gain or a loss on the purchased call option. The Company may also purchase put option contracts. If a purchased put option is exercised, the premium paid increases the cost basis of the securities sold by the Company.

27

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

The Company may also write (sell) call options with the purpose of generating realized gains or reducing its ownership of certain securities. If the Company writes a call option on a security, the Company has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Company will only write call options on securities that the Company holds in its portfolio (i.e., covered calls).

When the Company writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Company is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Company on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. If the Company repurchases a written call option prior to its exercise, the difference between the premium received and the amount paid to repurchase the option is treated as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Company has realized a gain or loss. The Company, as the writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. See Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments.

L. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange as of the valuation date; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Company does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity and debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity and debt securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses represent gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and foreign currency contracts, foreign exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts on the payment date.

Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses represent the difference between the cost of assets and liabilities (other than investments) recorded on the Company’s books from the value of the assets and liabilities (other than investments) on the valuation date.

M. Indemnifications — Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

N. Offering and Debt Issuance Costs — Offering costs incurred by the Company related to the issuance of its common stock reduce additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued. Costs incurred by the Company related to the issuance of its debt (credit facility, term loan or notes) or its preferred stock are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt or preferred stock is outstanding.

The Company has classified the costs incurred to issue its Notes and MRP Shares as a deduction from the carrying value of the Notes and MRP Shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the

purpose of calculating the Company’s asset coverage ratios pursuant to the 1940 Act, deferred issuance costs are not deducted from the carrying value of debt or preferred stock.

3. Fair Value

The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants under current market conditions at the measurement date. As required by ASC 820, the Company has performed an analysis of all assets and liabilities (other than deferred taxes) measured at fair value to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Inputs are the assumptions, along with considerations of risk, that a market participant would use to value an asset or a liability. In general, observable inputs are based on market data that is readily available, regularly distributed and verifiable that the Company obtains from independent, third-party sources. Unobservable inputs are developed by the Company based on its own assumptions of how market participants would value an asset or a liability.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.

• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.

• Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

• Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 30, 2020, and the Company presents these assets by security type and description on its Schedule of Investments. Note that the valuation levels below are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.

	Total		Quoted Prices in Active  Markets (Level 1)		Prices with Other Observable  Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets at Fair Value
Equity investments	$	1,183,461	$	1,058,982	$	12,881	$	111,598

The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at November 30, 2020.

As of November 30, 2020, the Company had Notes outstanding with aggregate principal amount of $173,260 and 5,465,303 of MRP Shares outstanding with a total liquidation value of $136,633 . See Note 11 — Notes and Note 12 — Preferred Stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

All of the Notes and MRP Shares were issued in private placements to institutional investors and are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system. As such, the Company categorizes all of the Notes ($173,260 aggregate principal amount) and all of the MRP Shares ($136,633 aggregate liquidation value) as Level 3 and determines the fair value of these instruments based on estimated market yields and credit spreads for comparable instruments with similar maturity, terms and structure.

The Company records these Notes and MRP Shares on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities at principal amount or liquidation value. As of November 30, 2020, the estimated fair values of these leverage instruments are as follows.

Instrument	Principal Amount/ Liquidation  Value		Fair Value
Notes (Series BB, CC, EE through GG, JJ, KK, MM through OO)	$	173,260	$	183,500
MRP Shares (Series O, P, Q, R and S)	$	136,633	$	139,600

The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020.

	Equity Investments
Balance — November 30, 2019	$	141,297
Purchases		36,952
Sales		(50,979	)
Transfers out to Level 1 and 2		(18,513	)

Balance — November 30, 2020	$	111,598
Net change in unrealized gain (loss) of investments still held at November 30, 2020	$	(1,203	)

The purchases of $36,952 include the Company’s investment in Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“EPD”) Series A Convertible Preferred Units that was made in September 2020 ($12,500) and the taxable exchange of EQM Midstream Partners, LP (“EQM”) Series A Convertible Preferred Units (“EQM Convertible Preferred Units”) in June 2020 ($24,452). Sales of $50,979 and realized gains of $1,728 relate to the taxable exchange of EQM Convertible Preferred Units. On June 17, 2020, in connection with the merger of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (“ETRN”) and EQM, 538,500 units of the EQM Convertible Preferred Units held by the Company were redeemed in cash at a redemption amount of 101% and the remaining units were exchanged for newly-issued ETRN Convertible Preferred Shares.

Transfers out of $18,513 relate to the Company’s investment in Noble Midstream Partners LP common units that became marketable during the first quarter of 2020. The Company utilizes the beginning of the reporting period method for determining transfers between levels.

The $1,113 increase in unrealized gains (net) relates to investments that were held during the period. The Company includes these unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations – Net Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses).

Valuation Techniques and Unobservable Inputs

Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the Company values its private investments in public equity (“PIPE”) investments that will become publicly tradeable (e.g., through subsequent registration or expiration of a restriction on trading) based on the market value of the publicly-traded security less a discount. This discount is initially equal to the discount negotiated at the time the Company agrees to a purchase price. To the extent that such securities become publicly traded within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, this discount will be amortized on a straight line basis over such estimated time frame.

The Company owns cumulative convertible preferred units of EPD. The convertible preferred units will be convertible by the holders into common units at any time after September 29, 2025 at a conversion rate calculated as the Liquidation Preference divided by 92.5% of the 5-day volume weighted average price of EPD’s common units at the time of conversion. The convertible preferred units are redeemable at any time by EPD, at Redemption Prices ranging from 100% to 110% of Liquidation Preference based on the date of redemption. The convertible preferred units are senior to the underlying common units in terms of liquidation preference and priority of distributions. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate to value these convertible preferred units using a discounted cash flow analysis. To determine the appropriate discount rate for this analysis, the Company estimates the credit spread for the convertible preferred units, which is based on (a) the long bond spread, which is based the average spread of EPD’s 25+ year maturity bonds to the US treasury rate, (b) the hybrid spread, which is based on the spread of EPD’s publicly traded hybrid notes over EPD’s bonds with a maturity greater than 25 years, and (c) the subordination spread, which is based on the average spread of preferred securities of similar investment grade issuers in the energy industry over their publicly traded hybrid notes. The discounted cash flow analysis assumes the convertible preferred securities will be redeemed on September 30, 2025, and the Company’s ability to sell the preferred units during such time period is subject to certain restrictions. As such, the Company applies a 5% illiquidity discount to be amortized over the assumed 5-year hold period.

The Company owns convertible preferred units of ETRN and MPLX LP (“MPLX”). The convertible preferred units are, in the case of MPLX, and will be, in the case of ETRN, convertible on a one-for-one basis into common units at our option and are senior to the underlying common units in terms of liquidation preference and priority of distributions. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate to value these convertible preferred units using a convertible pricing model. This model takes into account the attributes of the convertible preferred units, including the preferred dividend, conversion ratio and call features, to determine the estimated value of such units. In using this model, the Company estimates (i) the credit spread for the convertible preferred units, which is based on (a) the credit spread of the partnership’s unsecured notes, and (b) the credit spreads of similar publicly traded preferred securities over bonds with similar maturities, and (ii) the expected volatility for the underlying common units, which is based on historical volatility. For these securities, if the resulting price for the convertible preferred units is less than the public market price for the underlying common units at such time, the public market price for the common units will be used to value the convertible preferred units.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize.

4. Risk Considerations

The Company’s investments are concentrated in the energy sector. A downturn in one or more industries within the energy sector, material declines in energy-related commodity prices, adverse political, legislative or regulatory developments or environmental, catastrophic or other events could have a larger impact on the Company than on an investment company that does not concentrate in the energy sector. The performance of companies in the energy sector may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. The Company also invests in securities of foreign issuers, predominantly those located in Canada and, to a lesser extent, Europe. The value of those investments will fluctuate with market conditions, currency exchange rates and the economic and political climates of the foreign countries in which the Company invests. Additionally, to the extent that the Company invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Company may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified investment company to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence. At November 30, 2020, the Company had the following investment concentrations:

Category	Percent of Long-Term Investments
Securities of energy companies		100.0	%
Equity securities		100.0	%
Energy Infrastructure Companies		100.0	%
Largest single issuer		12.6	%
Restricted securities		10.5	%

The stock market has been subject to significant volatility over the last 12 months, which has increased the risks associated with an investment in the Company. In particular, the financial markets have been impacted by the outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness known as COVID-19. This coronavirus has resulted in international border closings, enhanced health screenings, expanded healthcare services and expenses, quarantines and other restrictions on business and personal activities, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general public concern and uncertainty. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways.

Of particular relevance to an investment in the Company, volatility in the energy markets during fiscal 2020, including decreases in demand for (and prices of) energy-related commodities as a result of the

32

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

impact of COVID-19 on global economic activity, has significantly affected the performance of the energy sector, as well as the performance of the midstream energy companies in which the Company invests. In addition, volatility in the energy markets may affect the ability of midstream energy companies to finance capital expenditures, manage liquidity needs, refinance debt maturities and to maintain distributions to investors due to a lack of access to capital. The future impact of COVID-19 is currently unknown and it may exacerbate other risks that apply to the Company, including political, social and economic risks. Any such impact could adversely affect the Company’s performance and the performance of the securities in which the Company invests and may lead to losses on your investment in the Company.

5. Agreements and Affiliations

A. Administration Agreement — On August 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended administration and accounting agreement with Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”). Pursuant to the agreement, Ultimus will continue to provide certain administrative and accounting services for the Company. The agreement has an initial term of three years and automatic one-year renewals unless earlier terminated by either party as provided under the terms of the agreement.

B. Investment Management Agreement — The Company has entered into an investment management agreement with KA Fund Advisors, LLC (“KAFA”) under which KAFA, subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, KAFA receives an investment management fee from the Company.

On August 6, 2018, KYN completed its merger with Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company (“KED”). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement approved by stockholders of KED, KYN acquired all of the net assets of KED in exchange for an equal net asset value of newly issued KYN common stock. The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon completion of its merger with KED, the Company and KAFA entered into an amended fee waiver agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”). The Fee Waiver Agreement provides for a management fee of 1.375% on average total assets up to $4,000,000; 1.25% on average total assets between $4,000,000 and $6,000,000; 1.125% on average total assets between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000; and 1.0% on average total assets over $8,000,000. These tiered fee waivers will result in a reduction to the effective management fee rate payable to KAFA as the Company’s assets under management increase. KAFA further agreed to waive an amount of management fees (calculated based on the Company’s and KED’s assets under management at the closing of the merger) such that the management fees payable to KAFA with respect to the Company after completion of the merger between the Company and KED would not be greater than the aggregate management fees that would have been payable if the Company and KED had remained standalone companies. This waiver was calculated as $212 per year based on the Company’s and KED’s assets under management at the closing of the merger. Any amount waived by KAFA pursuant to the Fee Waiver Agreement may not be recouped. The Fee Waiver Agreement has a term of three years from the date of the merger, or through August 6, 2021. The investment management agreement has a current term through March 31, 2021 and may be renewed annually thereafter upon approval of KAFA and the Company’s Board of Directors (including a majority of the Company’s directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act). For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company paid management fees at an annual rate of 1.363% of the Company’s average quarterly total assets (as defined in the investment management agreement).

For purposes of calculating the management fee the average total assets for each quarterly period are determined by averaging the total assets at the last day of that quarter with the total assets at the last day of the prior quarter. The Company’s total assets are equal to the Company’s gross asset value (which includes assets attributable to the Company’s use of preferred stock, commercial paper or

33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

notes and other borrowings and excludes any net deferred tax asset), minus the sum of the Company’s accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on any outstanding common stock and accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on any outstanding preferred stock and accrued liabilities (other than liabilities associated with borrowing or leverage by the Company and any accrued taxes, including, a deferred tax liability). Liabilities associated with borrowing or leverage by the Company include the principal amount of any borrowings, commercial paper or notes issued by the Company, the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock, and other liabilities from other forms of borrowing or leverage such as short positions and put or call options held or written by the Company.

C. Portfolio Companies — From time to time, the Company may “control” or may be an “affiliate” of one or more of its portfolio companies, as each of these terms is defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company and its affiliates owned 25% or more of its outstanding voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if the Company and its affiliates owned 5% or more of its outstanding voting securities. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between investment companies and their affiliates (including the Company’s investment adviser), principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters.

The Company believes that there are several factors that determine whether or not a security should be considered a “voting security” in complex structures such as limited partnerships of the kind in which the Company invests. The Company also notes that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff has issued guidance on the circumstances under which it would consider a limited partnership interest to constitute a voting security. Under most partnership agreements, the management of the partnership is vested in the general partner, and the limited partners, individually or collectively, have no rights to manage or influence management of the partnership through such activities as participating in the selection of the managers or the board of the limited partnership or the general partner. As a result, the Company believes that many of the limited partnership interests in which it invests should not be considered voting securities. However, it is possible that the SEC staff may consider the limited partner interests the Company holds in certain limited partnerships to be voting securities. If such a determination were made, the Company may be regarded as a person affiliated with and controlling the issuer(s) of those securities for purposes of Section 17 of the 1940 Act.

In making such a determination as to whether to treat any class of limited partnership interests the Company holds as a voting security, the Company considers, among other factors, whether or not the holders of such limited partnership interests have the right to elect the board of directors of the limited partnership or the general partner. If the holders of such limited partnership interests do not have the right to elect the board of directors, the Company generally has not treated such security as a voting security. In other circumstances, based on the facts and circumstances of those partnership agreements, including the right to elect the directors of the general partner, the Company has treated those securities as voting securities. If the Company does not consider the security to be a voting security, it will not consider such partnership to be an “affiliate” unless the Company and its affiliates own more than 25% of the outstanding securities of such partnership. Additionally, certain partnership agreements give common unitholders the right to elect the partnership’s board of directors, but limit the amount of voting securities any limited partner can hold to no more than 4.9% of the partnership’s outstanding voting securities (i.e., any amounts held in excess of such limit by a limited partner do not have voting rights). In such instances, the Company does not consider itself to be an affiliate if it owns more than 5% of such partnership’s common units.

There is no assurance that the SEC staff will not consider that other limited partnership securities that the Company owns and does not treat as voting securities are, in fact, voting securities for the purposes of Section 17 of the 1940 Act. If such determination were made, the Company will be required to abide by the

34

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in 000’s, except number of option contracts, share and per share amounts)

restrictions on “control” or “affiliate” transactions as proscribed in the 1940 Act. The Company or any portfolio company that it controls, and its affiliates, may from time to time engage in certain of such joint transactions, purchases, sales and loans in reliance upon and in compliance with the conditions of certain exemptive rules promulgated by the SEC. The Company cannot make assurances, however, that it would be able to satisfy the conditions of these rules with respect to any particular eligible transaction, or even if the Company were allowed to engage in such a transaction, that the terms would be more or as favorable to the Company or any company that it controls as those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction. As a result of these prohibitions, restrictions may be imposed on the size of positions that may be taken for the Company or on the type of investments that it could make.

Plains GP Holdings, L.P., Plains AAP, L.P. and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. — Kevin S. McCarthy is a Vice Chairman of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“KACALP”), the managing member of KAFA. Mr. McCarthy also serves as a director of PAA GP Holdings LLC, which is the general partner of Plains GP Holdings L.P. (“PAGP”). Members of senior management of KACALP and KAFA and various affiliated funds managed by KACALP own PAGP shares, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”) units and interests in Plains AAP, L.P. (“PAGP-AAP”). The Company believes that it is an affiliate of PAA, PAGP and PAGP-AAP under the 1940 Act by virtue of (i) the Company’s and other affiliated Kayne Anderson funds’ ownership interest in PAA, PAGP and PAGP-AAP and (ii) Mr. McCarthy’s participation on the board of PAA GP Holdings LLC.

The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in affiliates as of and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020:

PAGP-AAP		1,622		12,881			1,459		—		(13,105)
Total			$	60,481		$	8,159	$	20,162	$	(105,465)

(1) See Schedule of Investments for investment classifications.

(2) During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company sold 2,266 units of PAA. There were no sales of PAGP-AAP and the Company made no purchases of any affiliates during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020.

6. Income Taxes

The Company’s taxes include current and deferred income taxes. Current income taxes reflect the estimated income tax liability or asset of the Company as of a measurement date. Deferred income taxes reflect (i) taxes on net unrealized gains (losses), which are attributable to the difference between fair market value and tax cost basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital losses, if any.

At November 30, 2020, the components of the Company’s current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Current income tax receivable, net	$	66,922
Deferred tax assets:
Capital loss carryforward — State	$	6,885
Capital loss carryforward — Federal		74,915
Valuation allowance		(30,341	)
Deferred tax liabilities:
Net unrealized gains on investment securities		(51,459	)
Total deferred income tax liability, net	$	—

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company made tax payments of $94,056 (net of $207 of state refunds). Income taxes paid during the current year were largely the result of ordinary gain recapture upon the disposition of MLPs securities (under Section 751 of the Internal Revenue Code). Upon the sale of an MLP security, the Company estimates the amount of ordinary gain recapture attributable to such disposition. Such estimates are preliminary and based on information provided by the MLP. Once final tax reporting information is available (in the subsequent tax year), the ordinary gain recapture is adjusted to reflect such information. Final tax reporting information could differ materially from the Company’s preliminary estimates.

At November 30, 2020, the Company had a net current income tax asset of $66,922. The net current tax receivable is comprised of the following:

	State			Federal		Total
Current tax receivable (payable) related to fiscal 2020	$	(606	)	$	1,364	$	758
Tax receivable (related to fiscal 2020 capital loss carryback)		4,479			61,685		66,164
	$	3,873		$	63,049	$	66,922

As of November 30, 2020, the Company had a capital loss carryforward of $356,757 (state and federal deferred tax asset of $6,885 and $74,915, respectively). Realization of the capital loss carryforward is dependent on generating sufficient capital gains prior to their expiration. The majority of these capital loss carryforwards will expire if not used by fiscal 2025.

The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on the weight of available evidence. When assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, significant weight is given to the effects of potential future realized and unrealized gains on investments and the period over which these deferred tax assets can be realized.

Based on the Company’s assessment at November 30, 2020, it has determined that it is not more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income of the appropriate character. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $30,341 has been established.

The Company will continue to review and assess the need for a valuation allowance in the future. Significant variability in the fair value of its portfolio of investments may change the Company’s assessment regarding the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. If a further valuation allowance is required to reduce any deferred tax asset in the future, or if a change in a valuation allowance is necessary, it could have a material impact on the Company’s net asset value and results of operations in the period of adjustment.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, contains several corporate income tax provisions, including, but not limited to, providing a 5-year carryback of net operating loss (“NOL”) tax carryforwards generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, temporarily removing the 80% taxable income limitation on NOL utilization for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, temporarily increasing the allowable interest expense deductions under Section 163(j) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and making corporate alternative minimum tax credits immediately refundable. While none of these provisions immediately impacted the Company’s operations for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company is evaluating all provisions of the CARES Act and their potential impact to the Company.

Total income taxes were different from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% to the net investment loss and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments before taxes as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2020
Computed federal income tax benefit at 21%	$	(204,794	)
State income tax benefit, net of federal tax		(15,185	)
Foreign tax credit		(544	)
Non-deductible distributions on MRP Shares, dividend received deduction and other, net		2,575
Difference in tax rate for capital loss carryback to prior fiscal years		(2,719	)
Valuation allowance — State		2,553
Valuation allowance — Federal		27,788
Total income tax benefit	$	(190,326	)

As a limited partner of MLPs, the Company includes its allocable share of such MLPs’ income or loss in computing its own taxable income or loss. Additionally, for income tax purposes, the Company reduces the cost basis of its MLP investments by the cash distributions received, and increases or decreases the cost basis of its MLP investments by its allocable share of the MLP’s income or loss. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, the Company reduced its tax cost basis by approximately $85,172 due to its 2019 net allocated losses from its MLP investments.

The Company utilizes the average cost method to compute the adjusted tax cost basis of its MLP securities.

At November 30, 2020, the cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $958,940 The cost basis for federal income tax purposes is $651,880 lower than the cost basis for GAAP reporting purposes primarily due to the additional basis adjustments attributable to the Company’s share of the allocated losses from its MLP investments. At November 30, 2020, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments and options, if any, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation of investments (including options, if any)	$	334,679
Gross unrealized depreciation of investments (including options, if any)		(110,158	)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments	$	224,521

As of November 30, 2020, each series of Notes was rated “AAA” by Kroll Bond Rating Agency (“KBRA”). In the event the credit rating on any series of Notes falls below “A-”, the interest rate on such series will increase by 1% during the period of time such series is rated below “A-”. The Company is required to maintain a current rating from one rating agency with respect to each series of Notes and is prohibited from having any rating of less than investment grade (“BBB-”) with respect to each series of Notes.

The Notes were issued in private placement offerings to institutional investors and are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system. The Notes contain various covenants related to other indebtedness, liens and limits on the Company’s overall leverage. Under the 1940 Act and the terms of the Notes, the Company may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares of its common stock or make purchases of such shares if, at any time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness (including the Notes) would be less than 300%.

The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company. The Notes are also subject to a mandatory redemption to the extent needed to satisfy certain requirements if the Company fails to meet an asset coverage ratio required by law and is not able to cure the coverage deficiency by the applicable deadline.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares; (2) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (3) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Company and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Company; and (4) junior to any secured creditors of the Company.

(1) On November 5, 2020, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement with the holders of its MRP Shares to accommodate the changes made to the Company’s fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies. Former MRP Share Series H, I, J, L and M were exchanged for new Series O, P, Q, R and S. There were no modifications to liquidation value, dividend rate nor the mandatory redemption date for each of the Series.

(2) On March 17, 2020, FitchRatings downgraded the ratings on the Company’s MRP Shares from “A” to “BBB” and placed all ratings on negative watch. As a result of the ratings action, the dividend rate for each series of MRP Shares outstanding increased by 2% per annum and was to continue to be in effect as long as such series were rated “BBB”. On September 16, 2020, at the Company’s request, FitchRatings withdrew its ratings on the Company’s MRP Shares. As a result, the dividend rate for each series of MRP Shares outstanding decreased by 2.0% per annum beginning on September 17, 2020.

(3) Series redeemed prior to the 2.0% decrease in annual dividend rate.

Holders of the MRP Shares are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividend payments on the first business day following each quarterly period (February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30).

As of November 30, 2020, each series of MRP Shares was rated “A+” by KBRA.

The dividend rate on the Company’s MRP Shares will increase if the credit rating is downgraded below “A” (as determined by the lowest credit rating assigned). Further, the annual dividend rate for all series of MRP Shares will increase by 4.0% if no ratings are maintained, and the annual dividend rate will increase by 5.0% if the Company fails to make a dividend or certain other payments.

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

(UNAUDITED)

Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has adopted the following plan (the “Plan”) with respect to distributions declared by its Board of Directors (the “Board”) on shares of its Common Stock:

1. Unless a stockholder specifically elects to receive cash as set forth below, all distributions hereafter declared by the Board shall be payable in shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and no action shall be required on such stockholder’s part to receive a distribution in stock.

2. Such distributions shall be payable on such date or dates as may be fixed from time to time by the Board to stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date(s) established by the Board for the distribution involved.

3. The Company may use newly-issued shares of its Common Stock or purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. The number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be based on share price equal to 95% of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock one day prior to the dividend payment date.

4. The Board may, in its sole discretion, instruct the Company to purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market in connection with the implementation of the Plan as follows: If the Company’s Common Stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, upon notice from the Company, the Plan Administrator (as defined below) will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the Participants’ accounts, except that the Plan Administrator will endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Company to issue the remaining shares if, following the commencement of the purchases, the market value of the shares, including brokerage commissions, exceeds the net asset value at the time of valuation. These remaining shares will be issued by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the net asset value at the time of valuation or (ii) 95% of the then current market price.

5. In a case where the Plan Administrator has terminated open market purchases and caused the issuance of remaining shares by the Company, the number of shares received by the participant in respect of the cash dividend or distribution will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market, including brokerage commissions, and the price at which the Company issues the remaining shares. To the extent that the Plan Administrator is unable to terminate purchases in the open market before the Plan Administrator has completed its purchases, or remaining shares cannot be issued by the Company because the Company declared a dividend or distribution payable only in cash, and the market price exceeds the net asset value of the shares, the average share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Company.

6. A stockholder may, however, elect to receive his or its distributions in cash. To exercise this option, such stockholder shall notify American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the plan administrator and the Company’s transfer agent and registrar (collectively the “Plan Administrator”), in writing so that such notice is received by the Plan Administrator no later than the record date fixed by the Board for the distribution involved.

7. The Plan Administrator will set up an account for shares acquired pursuant to the Plan for each stockholder who has not so elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash (each, a “Participant”). The Plan Administrator may hold each Participant’s shares, together with the shares of other Participants, in non-certificated form in the Plan Administrator’s name or that of its nominee. Upon request by a Participant, received no later than three (3) days prior to the payable

KAYNE ANDERSON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

(UNAUDITED)

date, the Plan Administrator will, instead of crediting shares to and/or carrying shares in a Participant’s account, issue, without charge to the Participant, a certificate registered in the Participant’s name for the number of whole shares payable to the Participant and a check for any fractional share less a broker commission on the sale of such fractional shares. If a request to terminate a Participant’s participation in the Plan is received less than three (3) days before the payable date, dividends and distributions for that payable date will be reinvested. However, subsequent dividends and distributions will be paid to the Participant in cash.

8. The Plan Administrator will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable but not later than ten (10) business days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a share of Common Stock of the Company, no certificates for a fractional share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each Participant’s account. In the event of termination of a Participant’s account under the Plan, the Plan Administrator will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Company’s shares at the time of termination.

9. The Plan Administrator will forward to each Participant any Company related proxy solicitation materials and each Company report or other communication to stockholders, and will vote any shares held by it under the Plan in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by Participants to the Company.

10. In the event that the Company makes available to its stockholders rights to purchase additional shares or other securities, the shares held by the Plan Administrator for each Participant under the Plan will be added to any other shares held by the Participant in certificated form in calculating the number of rights to be issued to the Participant.

11. The Plan Administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the Plan will be paid for by the Company.

12. Each Participant may terminate his or its account under the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator via the Plan Administrator’s website at www.amstock.com, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the Participant’s Statement and sending it to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560 or by calling the Plan Administrator at (888) 888-0317. Such termination will be effective immediately. The Plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Company. Upon any termination, the Plan Administrator will cause a certificate or certificates to be issued for the full shares held for the Participant under the Plan and a cash adjustment for any fractional share to be delivered to the Participant without charge to the Participant. If a Participant elects by his or its written notice to the Plan Administrator in advance of termination to have the Plan Administrator sell part or all of his or its shares and remit the proceeds to the Participant, the Plan Administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds.

13. These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Company at any time but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to each Participant appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Administrator receives written notice of the

(UNAUDITED)

termination of his or its account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Administrator in its place and stead of a successor agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Administrator under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any agent for the purpose of receiving dividends and distributions, the Company will be authorized to pay to such successor agent, for each Participant’s account, all dividends and distributions payable on shares of the Company held in the Participant’s name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor agent as provided in these terms and conditions.

14. The Plan Administrator will at all times act in good faith and use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure its full and timely performance of all services to be performed by it under this Plan and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless such error is caused by the Plan Administrator’s negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees or agents.

15. These terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

(i) Before the auditor is engaged by the Registrant to render audit, audit related or permissible non-audit services to the Registrant or (ii) with respect to non-audit services to be provided by the auditor to the Registrant’s investment adviser or any entity in the Registrant’s investment company complex, if the nature of the services provided relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Registrant, either: (a) the Audit Committee shall pre-approve such engagement; or (b) such engagement shall be entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee. Any such policies and procedures must be detailed as to the particular service and not involve any delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to the Registrant’s investment adviser. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. The pre-approval policies and procedures shall include the requirement that the decisions of any member to whom authority is delegated under this provision be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Under certain limited circumstances, pre-approvals are not required if certain de minimis thresholds are not exceeded, as such thresholds are set forth by the Audit Committee and in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

(e)(2) None of the services provided to the Registrant described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of regulation S-X.

(f) No disclosures are required by this Item 4(f).

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services rendered to the Registrant for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were $210,000 and $203,000, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP totaled $4,955,000 and $5,481,000 for services rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(h) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X and has determined that the provision of such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the Registrant’s principal accountant’s independence.
