NEW YORK, June 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Life Investments today announced a name change for MainStay CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Fund (the "Fund") (NYSE: MEGI) to MainStay CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Term Fund.
This name change is being made to better align the Fund's name with its existing limited term structure, and to increase awareness to the fact that there will be a liquidity event at net asset value for shareholders, either at the Termination Date (as indicated below) or in connection with an Eligible Tender Offer (as discussed below). The name change will be effective on or around June 30, 2023. There are no changes to the Fund's investment policy or strategy in conjunction with the name change.

1 Pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Trust, the Fund will commence the process of liquidation and dissolution at the close of business on December 15, 2033 (the "Termination Date"); provided that if the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") believes that, under then-current market conditions, it is in the best interests of the Fund to do so, the Termination Date may be extended: (i) once for up to one year and (ii) once for up to an additional six months (in the event of any such extension, the termination date shall be referred to as the "Extended Termination Date"), in each case upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board and without the approval of common shareholders. In addition, as of a date within twelve months preceding the Termination Date or the Extended Termination Date, the Board may cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer to all common shareholders to purchase common shares of the Fund at a price equal to the Fund's NAV per common share on the expiration date of the tender offer (an "Eligible Tender Offer"). The Board has established that, following an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund must have at least $200 million of net assets to ensure the continued viability of the Fund. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board may eliminate the limited term structure of the Fund and the Fund may continue as a perpetual closed-end fund, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board and without the approval of common shareholders. If the payment for properly tendered Common shares would result in the Fund's net assets totaling less than $200 million, the Eligible Tender Offer shall be canceled, and the Fund would dissolve as set forth above. |

*Assets under management (AUM) includes assets of the investment advisers affiliated with New York Life Insurance Company, other than Kartesia Management, and Tristan Capital Partners, as of 12/31/2022. As of 12/31/2022 New York Life Investments changed its AUM calculation methodology, and AUM now includes certain assets, such as non-discretionary AUM, external fund selection, and overlay services, including ESG screening services, advisory consulting services, white labeling investment management services, and model portfolio delivery services, that do not qualify as Regulatory Assets Under Management, as defined in the SEC's Form ADV. AUM is reported in USD. AUM not denominated in USD is converted at the spot rate as of 12/31/2022. This total AUM figure is less than the sum of the AUM of each affiliated investment adviser in the group because it does not count AUM where the same assets can be counted by more than one affiliated investment adviser
