­­­­­­­­CorEnergy Declares 2014 Second Quarter Dividend of $0.130 Per Share

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – July 31, 2014 – The Board of Directors of CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") today declared the Company's second quarter 2014 dividend of $0.130 per share, an increase of $0.001 from the prior quarter's prorated dividend. CorEnergy has also reiterated annualized dividend guidance of no less than $0.52 per share. The second quarter dividend is payable on August 29, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2014.

In 2013, CorEnergy changed its fiscal year as part of its transition from a business development company to a REIT. As a result of this change, the dividend payment schedule for calendar 2014 will vary from prior years. Going forward, the Company intends to maintain a quarterly February/May/August/November dividend payment cycle. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.
