FEN Background

Launched in June, 2004 during weak market for income securities.

Energy Income Partners (EIP) takes over as sub-advisor on Sept 14, 2007.

EIP immediately restructures portfolio by reducing cyclical exposure, selling
private equity positions, improving credit quality of portfolio companies and
increasing income generation.

Deleveraging in Fall of 2008 causes all MLP closed end funds except FEN to
cut their distributions as FEN has a more conservative payout ratio.

In 2008 and 2009 FEN retires its Auction Rate Notes and replaces them with a
lending facility from BNP.

On April 12, 2010, FEN increased its dividend making it the first MLP fund to
do so since the credit crisis.

Disclosures

This closed-end fund invests in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by MLPs.  Investment in
the Fund involves risks of fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in the supply of or demand for energy
commodities, increased government regulation, national disasters and various other risks.  The use of
leverage for investment purposes increases both investment opportunity and investment risk.  The risks of
investing in the Fund are spelled out in the prospectus, shareholder report and other regulatory filings.

Certain statements made during today’s call may not be historical facts and are referred to as “forward-
looking statements” under the U.S. federal securities laws.  Forward-looking statements are not historical
facts but instead represent only the sub-advisor’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their
nature, are inherently uncertain and outside the sub-advisor’s control.  Actual future results or occurrences
may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements due to numerous
factors.  Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will”
and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.  
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are
made.  FTA, the sub-advisor and the fund undertake no responsibility to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements.
