What are Unitholders being asked to vote on?

BOARD OF MANAGERS UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION — FOR

2.To elect the manager nominees named in the accompanying proxy statement (Messrs. David Levi, Edward Kuczmarski, Stuart A. McFarland, Louis P. Salvatore and Ms. Heather S. Goldman) to hold office until successors have been elected and qualified.

BOARD OF MANAGERS UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION — FOR

PROPOSAL 1: To approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Brookfield Investment Management Inc.

Why are unitholders being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement?

Center Coast Capital Advisors, LP serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. Center Coast Capital Holdings, LLC (“Center Coast”), the parent company of the Advisor, recently announced its intention to be acquired by Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (“BIM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction will be deemed to cause an “assignment” of the current investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Fund. In order to provide for continuity of advisory services for the Fund after the closing of the Transaction, the Board of Managers of the Fund is requesting that you vote to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and BIM pursuant to which the current portfolio managers of the Fund, who will become employees of BIM upon the closing of the Transaction, would continue to manage the Fund.

How will I as a Fund unitholder be affected by the Transaction?

Your Fund investment will not change as a result of the acquisition of Center Coast by Brookfield. You will still own the same Fund units before and after the Transaction. While BIM will replace the Advisor as investment adviser to the Fund, the current portfolio managers of the Fund will become employees of BIM and will continue to manage the Fund according to the same objectives and policies as before, and do not anticipate any significant changes to the Fund’s investment operations. Members may benefit as a result of the Center Coast team being able to take advantage of the depth and breadth of personnel, resources and experience of the broader BIM and Brookfield organizations. The integration of the Fund into the Brookfield fund complex may benefit Fund unitholders through operating efficiencies and increased administrative support.

Can you provide me with additional information on Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (“BIM”)?

BIM is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and represents the Public Securities platform of Brookfield. BIM provides global listed real assets strategies including real estate equities, infrastructure equities, real asset debt and diversified real assets. With over $16 billion of assets under management as of September 30, 2017, BIM manages separate accounts, registered funds and opportunistic strategies for institutional and individual clients, including financial institutions, public and private pension plans, insurance companies, endowments and foundations, sovereign wealth funds and high net worth investors. BIM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield, a leading global alternative asset manager with over $265 billion of assets under management as of September 30, 2017.

Will there be any change to the Fund’s management fee?

No. There will be no changes to the Fund’s management fee.

What will happen if members of the Fund do not approve the new investment advisory agreement before consummation of the Transaction?

Consent of each registered investment company managed by the Advisor, including the Fund, is a condition to the closing of the Transaction. For purposes of satisfying this consent condition, the Fund will be deemed to have consented only if members approve the new investment advisory agreement and the election of the Manager Nominees. Therefore, the Transaction is not expected to be consummated prior to approval by members of the new investment advisory agreement. However, if members have not yet approved the new investment advisory agreement and BIM were to waive the applicable closing condition, BIM may manage the Fund under an interim investment advisory agreement, but must place its compensation for its services during this interim period in escrow, pending member approval of the new investment advisory agreement. The Board of Managers urges you to vote without delay in order to avoid potential disruption to the Fund’s operations.
