ITEM 29. | PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT |
Not applicable.
It is the Registrant’s policy to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Section 2-418 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland as set forth in Article EIGHTH of Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, filed as Exhibit (a) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed on April 25, 2000, and Article VIII, Section 1, of the Registrant’s By-Laws, filed as Exhibit (b) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 24 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed April 29, 2011. The liability of the Registrant’s directors and officers is dealt with in Article EIGHTH of Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Article VIII, Section 1 through Section 6, of the Registrant’s By-Laws. The liability of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Registrant’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), for any loss suffered by the Registrant or its shareholders is set forth in Section 5 of the Investment Advisory Agreement, filed as Exhibit (d)(i) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed on April 25, 2000. The liability of the Advisor, as the Registrant’s administrator, for any loss suffered by the Registrant or its shareholders is set forth in Section 6 of the Amended and Restated Administration Agreement, filed as Exhibit (h)(i) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 42 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed on June 28, 2019. The liability of Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC, the Registrant’s distributor, for any loss suffered by the Registrant or its shareholders is set forth in Section 13 of the Amended Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit (e) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 42 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed on June 28, 2019.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to the directors and officers, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities under the Securities Act (other than for expenses incurred in a successful defense) is asserted against the Registrant by the directors or officers in connection with the Registrant’s shares, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 31. | BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTION OF INVESTMENT ADVISOR |
This information is set forth under the caption “Management of the Fund” in the Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information constituting Parts A and B, respectively, of this Registration Statement.
The following is a list of the directors and officers of the Advisor.
