FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – June 27, 2014 – CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR) ("CorEnergy" or the “Company”) today announced that it is expected to join the small-cap Russell 2000 Index, the broad-market Russell 3000 Index, the Russell Microcap Index and the Russell Global Index as part of Russell Investments' annual reconstitution of its U.S. and global equity indexes.

“We are pleased by CorEnergy’s expected inclusion in the Russell Indexes,” said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy. “As we continue to execute on our infrastructure real asset strategy, we expect this listing to broaden CorEnergy’s exposure across the investment community and bring added liquidity to our shareholders.”

Membership in the Russell Indexes remains in place for one year, and means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. The Russell 2000 is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
