By letter dated July 11, 2025, Rand C. Berney advised the Board of Directors of Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corporation (“TYG”) and
Tortoise Sustainable and Social Impact Term Fund (“TEAF” and, collectively with TYG, the “Companies” or the “funds”) of his decision to resign as a director of both Companies, effective as of July 15, 2025. The Board of
Directors has appointed Carrie R. Schoffman, age 52, to succeed Mr. Berney as a director of each Company, and to serve as a member and the Chair of the Audit and Valuation Committee of the Board of each Company, also effective as of July 15,
2025.
