On December 20, 2023, the Board of Directors of Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc., a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company (the “Company”), amended and restated in its entirety the bylaws of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws include a modification to clarify and add specificity to the exclusive forum provision.
