March 31, 2013

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

Following some weakness in December, the calendar year kicked off with a broad-based rally as most equity markets around the world responded favorably to Washington’s successful avoidance of the fiscal cliff. Bullish economic data in the U.S. housing market, strong corporate earnings, continued low interest rates and an uptick in manufacturing further bolstered investor confidence. Momentum continued throughout the quarter, with the markets largely ignoring a second potential cliff — sequestration — which resulted from ongoing political gridlock in our nation’s capital.

Likewise, our fiscal quarter ended Feb. 28, 2013 was a strong one for midstream MLPs, which continued to demonstrate the resiliency of underlying fundamentals and benefit from increasing North American energy production.

Master Limited Partnership Sector Review

The Tortoise MLP Index^® had a total return of 10.6 percent for our first fiscal quarter, with the bulk of the performance delivered in January as MLPs rebounded due to greater clarity as the fiscal cliff was averted. Reversing last year’s relative underperformance, MLPs outperformed the S&P 500 Index^®, which gained 7.6 percent in total return for the same period. The Tortoise Midstream MLP Index^® returned 10.9 percent for the fiscal quarter, reflecting the stronger performance of pipeline MLPs relative to more commodity-sensitive MLPs. While this positive performance resulted in a nearly one percent decrease in yield during the quarter for the sector as a whole, we continue to believe MLPs remain attractive for their combination of current income and growth potential.

The dramatic change taking place in North American energy production continues to be a significant driver of growth for the midstream portion of the energy value chain and, more specifically, pipeline MLPs. U.S. crude oil production is increasingly displacing imports, with production up 40 percent since 2008, as noted by the IHS, a global provider of market and economic information. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. is expected to produce 7.3 million barrels per day in 2013, up from 6.5 million in 2012. This vigorous activity continues to spur aggressive pipeline infrastructure build-out. We project nearly $45 billion will be invested in pipeline MLP projects in three years through 2014.

Capital markets remained very active and supportive, as MLPs raised approximately $9.2 billion in equity and $10.0 billion in debt in the first fiscal quarter, including the launch of five new MLP initial public offerings. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has also been healthy. Following the more than $38 billion in aggregate MLP M&A deals in 2012, a total of $14.7 billion in MLP transactions was announced during the fiscal quarter. The largest among the first-quarter deals was Kinder Morgan Energy Partners’ $5 billion pending acquisition of Copano Energy, L.L.C., a gathering and processing MLP. The transaction’s healthy premium drove further M&A speculation in the gathering and processing sector during the quarter.

Fund Performance Review

Our total assets increased from $1.7 billion on Nov. 30, 2012, to $1.9 billion on Feb. 28, 2013, resulting primarily from market appreciation of our investments. Our market-based total return to stockholders for our first fiscal quarter was 22.1 percent and our NAV-based total return was 11.0 percent per share (both including the reinvestment of distributions). The difference between our market value total return as compared to our NAV total return reflected the increase in the market’s premium of our stock price relative to our NAV during the period, as our stock price outperformed during the quarter following its relative underperformance in 2012.

During the quarter, our asset performance was helped by our exposure to refined products pipeline MLPs, which benefitted from an inflation escalator and stable demand, and to crude oil pipeline MLPs, which continued to benefit from growing volumes driven by increased production in North American shale basins, as well as infrastructure constraints and related pipeline build-out. Additionally, natural gas pipeline MLPs contributed positively. They continue to face some challenges for distribution growth in the near term, with a positive overall long-term outlook underscored by developing demand for newfound supply. With no holdings in upstream, our overall midstream focus positively impacted performance as well.

We also completed direct placement investments in Inergy Midstream, L.P. and Rose Rock Midstream, L.P., which together totaled $15.8 million. Inergy Midstream is a natural gas storage and transportation business acquiring logistical assets in the Bakken, while Rose Rock Midstream is a crude oil gathering, transportation and storage business that is acquiring an interest in a pipeline linking the Niobrara shale in the Rockies to Cushing, Okla.

We paid a distribution of $0.5675 per common share ($2.27 annualized) to our stockholders on March 1, 2013, an increase of 0.4 percent quarter over quarter and 1.8 percent year over year. This distribution represented an annualized yield of 4.8 percent based on our fiscal quarter closing price of $47.25. Our distribution payout coverage (distributable cash flow divided by distributions) for the fiscal quarter was 109.6 percent, reflective of our emphasis on

sustainability. We will provide expectations for the tax characterization of our 2013 distributions later in the year. A final determination of the characterization will be made in January 2014.

We ended the first fiscal quarter with leverage (including bank debt, senior notes and preferred stock) at 16.6 percent of total assets, below our long-term target of 25 percent. This provides us flexibility in managing the portfolio across market cycles and allows us to add leverage when compelling opportunities arise. As of Feb. 28, 2013, our leverage had a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years and a weighted average cost of 4.71 percent, with more than 87 percent at fixed rates. During the quarter, we capitalized on the low interest-rate environment and completed leverage-related transactions, including refinancing TYG’s mandatory redeemable preferred shares. These transactions lowered our borrowing cost and extended average maturities.

Additional information about our financial performance is available in the Key Financial Data and Management’s Discussion sections of this report.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. In addition, this report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations and financial objectives and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our public filings with the SEC.

Overview

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp.’s (the “Company”) goal is to provide a stable and growing distribution stream to our investors. We seek to provide our stockholders with an efficient vehicle to invest in the energy infrastructure sector. While we are a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), we are not a “regulated investment company” for federal tax purposes. Our distributions do not generate unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) and our stock may therefore be suitable for holding by pension funds, IRAs and mutual funds, as well as taxable accounts. We invest primarily in MLPs through private and public market purchases. MLPs are publicly traded partnerships whose equity interests are traded in the form of units on public exchanges, such as the NYSE or NASDAQ. Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. serves as our investment adviser.

Company Update

Total assets increased approximately $171 million during the 1st quarter, primarily as a result of higher market values of our MLP investments. Distribution increases from our MLP investments were in-line with our expectations, and asset-based expenses increased from the previous quarter along with average managed assets. Total leverage as a percent of total assets decreased and we increased our quarterly distribution to $0.5675 per share. Additional information on these events and results of our operations are discussed in more detail below.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments, tax matters and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Determining Distributions to Stockholders

Our portfolio generates cash flow from which we pay distributions to stockholders. Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy of declaring what it believes to be sustainable distributions. In determining distributions, our Board of Directors considers a number of current and anticipated factors, including, among others, distributable cash flow (“DCF”), realized and unrealized gains, leverage amounts and rates, current and deferred taxes payable, and potential volatility in returns from our investments and the overall market. While the Board considers many factors in determining distributions to stockholders, particular emphasis is given to DCF and distribution coverage. Distribution coverage is DCF divided by distributions paid to stockholders and is discussed in more detail below. Over the long term, we expect to distribute substantially all of our DCF to holders of common stock. Our Board of Directors reviews the distribution rate quarterly and may adjust the quarterly distribution throughout the year.

Determining DCF

DCF is distributions received from investments, less expenses. The total distributions received from our investments include the amount received by us as cash distributions from MLPs, paid-in-kind distributions, and dividend and interest payments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses, leverage costs and current income taxes. Current income taxes include taxes paid on our net investment income in addition to foreign taxes, if any. Taxes incurred from realized gains on the sale of investments, expected tax benefits and deferred taxes are not included in DCF.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: the Statement of Operations, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; and distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation include the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or MLP units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes, and includes distributions related to direct investments when the purchase price is reduced in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense, distributions to preferred stockholders, other recurring leverage expenses, as well as taxes paid on net investment income. A reconciliation of Net Investment Loss, before Income Taxes to DCF is included below.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited) (Continued)

Distributions Received from Investments

Our ability to generate cash is dependent on the ability of our portfolio of investments to generate cash flow from their operations. In order to maintain and grow distributions to our stockholders, we evaluate each holding based upon its contribution to our investment income, our expectation for its growth rate, and its risk relative to other potential investments.

We concentrate on MLPs we believe can expect an increasing demand for services from economic and population growth. We seek well-managed businesses with hard assets and stable recurring revenue streams. Our focus remains primarily on investing in fee-based service providers that operate long-haul, interstate pipelines. We further diversify among issuers, geographies and energy commodities to seek a distribution payment which approximates an investment directly in energy infrastructure MLPs. In addition, many crude/refined products and natural gas liquids pipeline companies are regulated and currently benefit from a tariff inflation escalation index of PPI + 2.65 percent. Over the long-term, we believe MLPs’ distributions will outpace inflation and interest rate increases, and produce positive real returns.

Total distributions received from our investments for the 1st quarter 2013 was approximately $26.4 million, representing a 7.0 percent increase as compared to 1st quarter 2012 and a 1.0 percent increase as compared to 4th quarter 2012. These changes reflect increases in per share distribution rates on our MLP investments, the distributions received from additional investments funded from equity and leverage proceeds and the impact of various portfolio trading activity.

Expenses

We incur two types of expenses: (1) operating expenses, consisting primarily of the advisory fee, and (2) leverage costs. On a percentage basis, operating expenses before leverage costs and current taxes were an annualized 1.02 percent of average total assets for the 1st quarter 2013, unchanged as compared to 1st quarter 2012 and an increase of 0.02 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2012. Advisory fees for the 1st quarter 2013 increased 3.0 percent from 4th quarter 2012 as a result of increased average managed assets for the quarter. Yields on our MLP investments are currently below their 5-year historical average of approximately 7 percent. All else being equal, if MLP yields decrease and distributions remain constant or grow, MLP asset values will increase as will our managed assets and advisory fees. Other operating expenses increased as compared to 4th quarter 2012, primarily due to estimated franchise and professional fees.

Leverage costs consist of two major components: (1) the direct interest expense on our senior notes and short-term credit facility, and (2) distributions to preferred stockholders. Other leverage expenses include rating agency fees and commitment fees. Total leverage costs for DCF purposes were approximately $4.2 million for the 1st quarter 2013, an increase as compared to 4th quarter 2012. This increase is the result of issuing additional long-term leverage and paying distributions on both the newly issued Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred (“MRP”) Stock and the Series A MRP Stock for a period prior to the redemption of the Series A MRP Stock on January 7, 2013.

The weighted average annual rate of our leverage at February 28, 2013 was 4.71 percent. This rate includes balances on our bank credit facility which accrue interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent. Our weighted average rate may vary in future periods as a result of changes in LIBOR, the utilization of our credit facility and as our leverage matures or is redeemed. Additional information on our leverage and amended credit facility is disclosed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources and in our Notes to Financial Statements.

Distributable Cash Flow

For 1st quarter 2013, our DCF was approximately $17.6 million, an increase of 7.7 percent as compared to 1st quarter 2012 and a decrease of 0.6 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2012. The changes are the net result of changes in distributions and expenses as outlined above. We declared a distribution of $16.1 million, or $0.5675 per share, during the quarter. This represents an increase of $0.01 per share as compared to 1st quarter 2012 and an increase of $0.0025 per share as compared to 4th quarter 2012.

Our distribution coverage ratio was 109.6 percent for 1st quarter 2013, an increase in the coverage ratio of 4.1 percent as compared to 1st quarter 2012 and a decrease of 1.6 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2012. Our goal is to pay what we believe to be sustainable distributions with any increases safely covered by earned DCF. A distribution coverage ratio of greater than 100 percent provides flexibility for on-going management of the portfolio, changes in leverage costs, the impact of taxes from realized gains and other expenses. An on-going distribution coverage ratio of less than 100 percent will, over time, erode the earning power of a portfolio and may lead to lower distributions. We expect to allocate a portion of the projected future growth in DCF to increase distributions to stockholders while also continuing to build critical distribution coverage to help preserve the sustainability of distributions to stockholders for the years ahead.

Net investment loss before income taxes on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 1st quarter 2013 (in thousands):

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited) (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had total assets of $1.9 billion at quarter-end. Our total assets reflect the value of our investments, which are itemized in the Schedule of Investments. It also reflects cash, interest and other receivables, if any, and any expenses that may have been prepaid. During 1st quarter 2013, total assets increased approximately $171 million, primarily due to an increase in the value of our investments as reflected by the change in realized and unrealized gains on investments (excluding return of capital on distributions).

We issued 75,951 shares of our common stock during the quarter under our at-the-market equity program for a net total of approximately $3.0 million. We are waiving our advisory fees on the net proceeds from shares issued under our at-the-market equity program for six months.

Total leverage outstanding at February 28, 2013 was $314.7 million, a decrease of $16.7 million as compared to November 30, 2012. On an adjusted basis to reflect the timing of the payment of our 1st quarter 2013 distribution, leverage decreased approximately $1.7 million. Outstanding leverage is comprised of $210 million in senior notes, $80 million in preferred shares and $24.7 million outstanding under the credit facility, with 87.4 percent of leverage with fixed rates and a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years. Total leverage represented 16.6 percent of total assets at February 28, 2013, as compared to 19.2 percent as of November 30, 2012 and 18.4 percent as of February 29, 2012. Our leverage as a percent of total assets remains below our long-term target level of 25 percent, allowing the opportunity to add leverage when compelling investment opportunities arise. Temporary increases to up to 30 percent of our total assets may be permitted, provided that such leverage is consistent with the limits set forth in the 1940 Act, and that such leverage is expected to be reduced over time in an orderly fashion to reach our long-term target. Our leverage ratio is impacted by increases or decreases in MLP values, issuance of equity and/or the sale of securities where proceeds are used to reduce leverage.

Our longer-term leverage (excluding our bank credit facility) of approximately $290 million is comprised of 72 percent private placement debt and 28 percent publicly traded preferred equity with a weighted average rate of 4.94 percent and remaining weighted average laddered maturity of approximately 7.0 years.

We have used leverage to acquire MLPs consistent with our investment philosophy. The terms of our leverage are governed by regulatory and contractual asset coverage requirements that arise from the use of leverage. Additional information on our leverage and asset coverage requirements is discussed in Notes 9, 10 and 11 in the Notes to Financial Statements. Our coverage ratios are updated each week on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

In an attempt to reduce future interest rate risk associated with a portion of our leverage, we entered into a total of $110.0 million notional value of interest rate swap contracts with laddered maturities that become effective in March 2015. The interest rate swap contracts have a weighted-average rate of approximately 2.39 percent and a weighted-average term to maturity of approximately 7.4 years.

Taxation of our Distributions and Income Taxes

We invest in partnerships that generally have cash distributions in excess of their income for accounting and tax purposes. Accordingly, the distributions include a return of capital component for accounting and tax purposes. Distributions declared and paid by us in a year generally differ from taxable income for that year, as such distributions may include the distribution of current year taxable income or return of capital.

The taxability of the distribution you receive depends on whether we have annual earnings and profits (“E&P”). E&P is primarily comprised of the taxable income from MLPs with certain specified adjustments as reported on annual K-1s, fund operating expenses and net realized gains. If we have E&P, it is first allocated to the preferred shares and then to the common shares.

In the event we have E&P allocated to our common shares, all or a portion of our distribution will be taxable at the Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) rate, assuming various holding requirements are met by the stockholder. The QDI rate is variable based on the taxpayer’s taxable income. The portion of our distribution that is taxable may vary for either of two reasons. First, the characterization of the distributions we receive from MLPs could change annually based upon the K-1 allocations and result in less return of capital and more in the form of income. Second, we could sell an MLP investment and realize a gain or loss at any time. It is for these reasons that we inform you of the tax treatment after the close of each year as the ultimate characterization of our distributions is undeterminable until the year is over.

E&P for 2012 exceeded total distributions to stockholders. As a result, for tax purposes, distributions to common stockholders for the year ended 2012 were 100 percent qualified dividend income. This information is reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV and is available on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com. For book purposes, the source of distributions to common stockholders for the year ended 2012 was 100 percent return of capital.

The unrealized gain or loss we have in the portfolio is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At February 28, 2013, our investments are valued at $1.896 billion, with an adjusted cost of $940 million. The $956 million difference reflects unrealized gain that would be realized for financial statement purposes if those investments were sold at those values. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities also reflects either a net deferred tax liability or net deferred tax asset depending primarily upon unrealized gains (losses) on investments, realized gains (losses) on investments, capital loss carryforwards and net operating losses. At February 28, 2013, the balance sheet reflects a net deferred tax liability of approximately $442 million or $15.56 per share. Accordingly, our net asset value per share represents the amount which would be available for distribution to stockholders after payment of taxes.

To the extent we have taxable income in the future, we will owe federal and state income taxes. Tax payments can be funded from investment earnings, fund assets or borrowings. Details of our taxes are disclosed in Note 5 in our Notes to Financial Statements.

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corporation (the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on October 29, 2003, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s investment objective is to seek a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders. The Company seeks to provide its stockholders with an efficient vehicle to invest in the energy infrastructure sector. The Company commenced operations on February 27, 2004. The Company’s stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TYG.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investment Valuation

The Company primarily owns securities that are listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Company values those securities at their last sale price on that exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Company uses the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or over-the-counter market on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last bid price and last ask price on such day.

The Company may invest up to 30 percent of its total assets in restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their public resale, which may make it more difficult to obtain a valuation and may limit the Company’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued in good faith by using fair value procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Such fair value procedures consider factors such as discounts to publicly traded issues, time until conversion date, securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If events occur that affect the value of the Company’s portfolio securities before the net asset value has been calculated (a “significant event”), the portfolio securities so affected will generally be priced using fair value procedures.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a direct placement transaction may be subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. Such securities that are convertible or otherwise will become freely tradable will be valued based on the market value of the freely tradable security less an applicable discount. Generally, the discount will initially be equal to the discount at which the Company purchased the securities. To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount.

The Company generally values debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Company generally values its interest rate swap contracts using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend and distribution income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from the Company’s investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital from the MLPs. The Company allocates distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Company.

For the period from December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013, the Company estimated the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from MLPs within the Statement of Operations. For this period, the Company has estimated approximately 7 percent as investment income and approximately 93 percent as return of capital.

D. Distributions to Stockholders

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company may not declare or pay distributions to its common stockholders if it does not meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act or the rating agency guidelines for its debt and preferred stock following such distribution. The character of distributions to common stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For book purposes, the source of the Company’s distributions to common stockholders for the year ended November 30, 2012 and the period ended February 28, 2013 was 100 percent return of capital. For tax purposes, the Company’s distributions

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

to common stockholders for the year ended November 30, 2012 were 100 percent qualified dividend income. The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders in the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2013.

Distributions to mandatory redeemable preferred (“MRP”) stockholders are accrued daily based on a fixed annual rate and paid on the first business day of each month. The Company may not declare or pay distributions to its preferred stockholders if it does not meet a 200 percent asset coverage ratio for its debt or the rating agency basic maintenance amount for the debt following such distribution. The character of distributions to MRP stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For book purposes, the source of the Company’s distributions to MRP stockholders for the year ended November 30, 2012 and the period ended February 28, 2013 was 100 percent return of capital. For tax purposes, the Company’s distributions to MRP stockholders for the year ended November 30, 2012 were 100 percent qualified dividend income. The tax character of distributions paid to MRP stockholders in the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2013.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Company, as a corporation, is obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. The Company may be subject to a 20 percent federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its AMT exceeds its regular federal income tax.

The Company invests its assets primarily in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Company reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Company’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

F. Offering and Debt Issuance Costs

Offering costs related to the issuance of common and preferred stock are charged to additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued. Offering costs (excluding underwriter discounts and commissions) of $461 related to the issuance of common stock were refunded to additional paid-in capital during the period ended February 28, 2013. Debt issuance costs related to long-term debt obligations and MRP Stock are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt and MRP Stock is outstanding. Capitalized costs (excluding underwriter commissions) were reflected during the period ended February 28, 2013 for the Series J Notes ($12,385), Series K Notes ($8,257), Series L Notes ($16,514) and MRP B Stock ($190,000) that were each issued in December 2012.

G. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swap contracts) in an attempt to manage interest rate risk. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value during the reporting period, and amounts accrued under the agreements, included as unrealized gains or losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Cash settlements under the terms of the derivative instruments and the termination of such contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

H. Indemnifications

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2011-11 requires new disclosures for recognized financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with the offsetting guidance in ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

ASU 2011-11 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and must be applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.

3. Concentration of Risk

Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 90 percent of its total assets in securities of energy infrastructure companies, and to invest at least 70 percent of its total assets in equity securities of MLPs. The Company will not invest more than 10 percent of its total assets in any single issuer as of the time of purchase. The Company may invest up to 25 percent of its assets in debt securities, which may include below investment grade securities. In determining application of these policies, the term “total assets” includes assets obtained through leverage. Companies that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than companies investing in a broad range of industry sectors. The Company may, for defensive purposes, temporarily invest all or a significant portion of its assets in investment grade securities, short-term debt securities and cash or cash equivalents. To the extent the Company uses this strategy, it may not achieve its investment objective.

4. Agreements

The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.95 percent of the Company’s average monthly total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage and excluding any net deferred tax asset) minus accrued liabilities (other than net deferred tax liability, debt entered into for purposes of leverage and the aggregate liquidation preference of outstanding preferred stock) (“Managed Assets”), in exchange for the investment advisory services provided. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all fees due under the Investment Advisory Agreement related to the net proceeds received from the issuance of additional common stock under the at-the-market equity program for a six month period following the date of issuance.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as the Company’s administrator. The Company pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.04 percent of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Company’s Managed Assets, 0.01 percent on the next $500,000,000 of Managed Assets and 0.005 percent on the balance of the Company’s Managed Assets.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. serves as the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and Computershare Inc. serves as the Company’s dividend paying agent and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian. The Company pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004 percent of the Company’s portfolio assets, plus portfolio transaction fees.

5. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of February 28, 2013, are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	9,459,985
AMT credit		787,180
		10,247,165
Deferred tax liabilities:
Basis reduction of investment in MLPs		98,538,861
Net unrealized gains on investment securities		353,317,690
		451,856,551
Total net deferred tax liability	$	441,609,386

At February 28, 2013, a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was not deemed necessary because the Company believes it is more likely than not that there is an ability to realize its deferred tax assets through future taxable income. Any adjustments to the Company’s estimates of future taxable income will be made in the period such determination is made. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions and no penalties and interest were accrued. Tax years subsequent to the year ending November 30, 2003 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

Total income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35 percent to net investment loss and net realized and unrealized gains on investments for the period ended February 28, 2013, as follows:

Application of statutory income tax rate	$	64,353,563
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		3,603,799
Nondeductible payments on preferred stock		1,314,023
Total income tax expense	$	69,271,385

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

For the period from December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013, the components of income tax expense include deferred federal and state income tax expense (net of federal tax benefit) of $65,597,903 and $3,673,482, respectively.

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had net operating losses for state income tax purposes of approximately $6,361,000. If not utilized, these net operating losses will expire in the years ending November 30, 2016 through November 30, 2030. The amount of deferred tax asset for net operating losses at February 28, 2013 includes amounts for the period from December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013. As of November 30, 2012, an AMT credit of $787,180 was available, which may be credited in the future against regular income tax. This credit may be carried forward indefinitely.

As of February 28, 2013, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $673,447,455. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of fair value over tax cost was $1,223,026,655, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over fair value was $0 and the net unrealized appreciation was $1,223,026,655.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

	Level 1 —	quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
	Level 2 —	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
	Level 3 —	significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2013. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

	Fair Value at
Description	February 28, 2013				Level 1			Level 2			Level 3

(a)	All other industry classifications are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
(b)	Short-term investment is a sweep investment for cash balances in the Company at February 28, 2013.

The Company did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period from December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013.

Valuation Techniques

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a private placement transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), is subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s fair value. If such a security is convertible into publicly-traded common shares, the security generally will be valued at the common share market price adjusted by a percentage discount due to the restrictions and categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. If the security has characteristics that are dissimilar to the class of security that trades on the open market, the security will generally be valued and categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued by using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on a forward rate curve and the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available, which applies to the Company’s Level 2 liabilities.

The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. There were no transfers between levels during the period ended February 28, 2013.

7. Restricted Security

Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors, as more fully described in Note 2. The table below shows the number of units held, acquisition date, acquisition cost, fair value, fair value per share and percent of net assets which the security comprises at February 28, 2013.

											Fair Value as
	Number of		Acquisition		Acquisition				Fair Value		Percent of
Investment Security	Shares		Date		Cost		Fair Value		Per Share		Net Assets
Inergy Midstream, L.P.
Unregistered Common Units	547,619		12/7/12		$11,499,999		$12,682,856		$23.16		1.1%

The carrying value per unit of unrestricted common units of Inergy Midstream, L.P. was $23.10 on November 3, 2012, the date of the purchase agreement and the date an enforceable right to acquire the restricted Inergy Midstream, L.P. units was obtained by the Company.

8. Investment Transactions

For the period from December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013, the Company purchased (at cost) and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $56,035,440 and $56,639,274 (excluding short-term debt securities), respectively.

9. Long-Term Debt Obligations

The Company has $210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of private senior notes, Series E, Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K, and Series L (collectively, the “Notes”), outstanding. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares; (2) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (3) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Company and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Company and (4) junior to any secured creditors of the Company. Holders of the Series E, Series G, Series H and Series I Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments each quarter until maturity. Holders of the Series J, Series K, and Series L Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments semi-annually until maturity. The Series E, Series G, Series I, Series J, Series K, and Series L Notes accrue interest at fixed rates and the Series H Notes accrue interest at an annual rate that resets each quarter based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.35 percent. The Notes are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.

The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company. The Notes are also subject to a mandatory redemption if the Company fails to meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act or the rating agency guidelines if such failure is not waived or cured. At February 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its senior notes.

The estimated fair value of each series of fixed-rate Notes was calculated, for disclosure purposes, by discounting future cash flows by a rate equal to the current U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date, plus either 1) the spread between the interest rate on recently issued debt and the U.S. Treasury rate with a similar maturity date or 2) if there has not been a recent debt issuance, the spread between the AAA corporate finance debt rate and the U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date plus the spread between the fixed rates of the Notes and the AAA corporate finance debt rate. The estimated fair value of the Series H Notes approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate fluctuates with changes in interest rates available in the current market. The estimated fair values in the table below are Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy. The following table shows the maturity date, interest rate, notional/carrying amount and estimated fair value for each series of Notes outstanding at February 28, 2013.

							Notional/
		Maturity		Interest			Carrying			Estimated
Series		Date		Rate			Amount			Fair Value
Series E		April 10, 2015		6.11	%		$	110,000,000		$	119,553,379
Series G		December 21, 2016		5.85	%			30,000,000			33,908,978
Series H		May 12, 2014		1.64	%(1)			15,000,000			15,000,000
Series I		May 12, 2018		4.35	%			10,000,000			10,745,916
Series J		December 19, 2019		3.30	%			15,000,000			15,162,353
Series K		December 19, 2022		3.87	%			10,000,000			10,077,873
Series L		December 19, 2024		3.99	%			20,000,000			20,116,011
							$	210,000,000		$	224,564,510

(1)	Floating rate; rate effective for period from February 12, 2013 through May 12, 2013. The weighted-average interest rate for the period ended February 28, 2013 was 1.66 percent.

The Company’s Series F Notes with a notional amount of $29,975,000 were paid in full upon maturity on December 21, 2012.

10. Preferred Stock

The Company has 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. Of that amount, the Company has 8,000,000 authorized shares of Mandatory Redeemable Preferred (“MRP”) B Stock and all 8,000,000 shares are outstanding at February 28, 2013. The MRP B Stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid distributions, whether or not declared. The Company issued 8,000,000 shares of MRP B Stock on December 6, 2012 and they are mandatorily redeemable on December 31, 2027. The MRP B Stock pays cash distributions on the first business day of each month at an annual rate of 4.375 percent. The shares of MRP Stock trade on the NYSE under the symbol “TYG Pr B.”

The MRP B Stock has rights determined by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise indicated in the Company’s Charter or Bylaws, or as otherwise required by law, the holders of MRP Stock have voting rights equal to the holders of common stock (one vote per MRP share) and will vote together with the holders of shares of common stock as a single class except on matters affecting only the holders of preferred stock or the holders of common stock. The 1940 Act requires that the holders of any preferred stock (including MRP Stock), voting separately as a single class, have the right to elect at least two directors at all times.

At February 28, 2013, the estimated fair value of the MRP B Stock is based on the closing market price of $9.97 per share and is a Level 1 valuation within the fair value hierarchy. The following table shows the mandatory redemption date, fixed rate, number of shares outstanding, aggregate liquidation preference and estimated fair value as of February 28, 2013.

		Mandatory						Aggregate
		Redemption		Fixed		Shares		Liquidation		Estimated
Series		Date		Rate		Outstanding		Preference		Fair Value
MRP B Stock		December 31, 2027		4.375%		8,000,000		$80,000,000		$79,760,000

The MRP B Stock is redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Company may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares of common stock or purchases of such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding MRP B Stock would be less than 200 percent. The MRP B Stock is also subject to a mandatory redemption if the Company fails to meet an asset coverage ratio of at least 225 percent as determined in accordance with the 1940 Act or a rating agency basic maintenance amount if such failure is not waived or cured. At February 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its MRP B Stock.

The Company defeased its MRP Stock at liquidation value in the amount of $73,000,000 on December 6, 2012. The Company paid a premium of $730,000 upon redemption. The unamortized balance of allocated capital costs was expensed and resulted in a total loss on early redemption of $1,496,146 which is included in amortization of debt issuance costs in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

11. Credit Facility

As of February 28, 2013, the Company has an $85,000,000 unsecured, revolving credit facility that matures on June 17, 2013. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as a lender and the lending syndicate agent on behalf of other lenders participating in the credit facility. Outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent and unused portions of the credit facility will accrue a non-usage fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20 percent.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized during the period ended February 28, 2013 was approximately $50,900,000 and 1.46 percent, respectively. At February 28, 2013, the principal balance outstanding was $24,700,000 at an interest rate of 1.45 percent.

Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If the Company fails to maintain the required coverage, it may be required to repay a portion of an outstanding balance until the coverage requirement has been met. At February 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

12. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to protect itself from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing interest rates. A decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap contracts, which may result in a decline in the net assets of the Company. At the time the interest rate swap contracts reach their scheduled termination, there is a risk that the Company would not be able to obtain a replacement transaction, or that the terms of the replacement would not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. In addition, if the Company is required to terminate any swap contract early due to the net assets of the Company falling below $450,000,000, the net asset value of the Company declining 50 percent during a span of 12 months, or the Company failing to maintain a required 300 percent asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding debt, then the Company could be required to make a termination payment to the extent of the Company’s net liability position, in addition to redeeming all or some of the debt. The Company has segregated a portion of its assets as collateral for the amount of the net liability of its interest rate swap contracts. Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of February 28, 2013, are as follows:

									Fixed Rate
									Paid by			Floating Rate
		Effective		Maturity		Notional			the			Received by		Unrealized
Counterparty		Date		Date		Amount			Company			the Company		Depreciation
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		03/31/2015		03/31/2018		$	5,000,000		1.493%			3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR		$	(22,986	)

The Company is exposed to credit risk on the interest rate swap contracts if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts. The amount of credit risk is limited to the net appreciation of the interest rate swap contracts, if any, as no collateral is pledged by the counterparty. In addition, if the counterparty to the interest rate swap contracts defaults, the Company would incur a loss in the amount of the receivable and would not receive amounts due from the counterparty to offset the interest payments on the Company’s leverage.

The unrealized depreciation of interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $471,050 for the period ended February 28, 2013 is included in the Statement of Operations. The Company entered into the above interest rate swap contracts during the month of February 2013.
