CorEnergy Declares 2015 First Quarter Increase in Common Stock Dividend and Initial Preferred Stock Dividend

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 30, 2015 – CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors declared the 2015 first quarter dividend of $0.135 per share (or $0.54 cents per share annualized) for CorEnergy common stock, an increase of nearly 4 percent. The first quarter common stock dividend is payable on May 29, 2015 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2015.

“We are pleased to again increase our dividend, as previously announced,” said CorEnergy CEO Dave Schulte. “The acquisition of the MoGas Pipeline System in November supports the increase. We believe our long term, contracted revenue, which has low direct commodity exposure, will continue to sustain our dividends."

The Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.635069444 per depositary share for the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The preferred stock dividend, which equates to an annual dividend payment of $1.84375 per depositary share, is payable on June 1, 2015 (as May 31, 2015 is not a business day) to shareholders of record on May 15, 2015.
