Attn: Diane M. Bono, Secretary
Dear Ms. Bono:
Special Opportunities Fund is the beneficial owner of shares of Tortoise
Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. with a value in excess of
$25,000.00. It has held these shares continuously for more than 12 months
and plans to continue to hold them through the next meeting of shareholders.
We hereby submit the following proposal and supporting statement pursuant
to rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for inclusion in
management's proxy materials for the next meeting of stockholders for which
this proposal is timely submitted. We are available to discuss our proposal
at any mutually convenient time.
RESOLVED: If the Fund's average trading discount to net asset value (NAV)
exceeds 10% for the twenty trading days ending December 31, 2024, the
stockholders urge the board to consider measures to allow all shareholders
to monetize their shares at a price at or close to NAV.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
The Fund's long-term performance has been poor. For the ten-year period ending
May 31, 2023, the annualized market price return of the Fund's shares is 0.39%.
Plus, the Fund's shares have traded at a double-digit discount for almost four
years. The board has responded by authorizing the Fund to conduct a small
self-tender offer in any year that the discount exceeds 10% during a designated
measurement period. However, in the most recent tender offer, more than 90% of
the shares tendered were returned to shareholders. Consequently, more
aggressive action is warranted.
We propose that if the Fund's current double-digit discount persists through
2024, the board should take action to afford shareholders an opportunity to
realize a price close to NAV for all shares. Among the options the board should
consider are converting the Fund to an open-end fund or an ETF, liquidating the
Fund, or launching a self-tender offer for all shares.
Very truly yours,
/S/Phillip Goldstein
Phillip Goldstein
