     | Shareholder Communication. Since companies are owned by their shareholders, Cohen & Steers                                                                                                                                                      
 seeks to ensure that management effectively communicates with its owners about the company’s business operations and financial performance. It is only with effective communication that shareholders will be able to assess the performance of 
 management and to make informed decisions on when to buy, sell or hold a company’s securities.                                                                                                                                                  |

General Principles

In exercising voting rights, Cohen & Steers shall conduct itself in accordance with the general principles set forth
below.

| • |     | The ability to exercise a voting right with respect to a security is a valuable right and, therefore, must be 
 viewed as part of the asset itself.                                                                           |

| • |     | In exercising voting rights, Cohen & Steers shall engage in a careful evaluation of issues that may 
 materially affect the rights of shareholders and the value of the security.                         |

| • |     | Consistent with general fiduciary duties, the exercise of voting rights shall always be conducted with 
 reasonable care, prudence and diligence.                                                               |

| • |     | In exercising voting rights on behalf of clients, Cohen & Steers shall conduct itself in the same 
 manner as if Cohen & Steers were the beneficial owner of the securities.                          |

| • |     | To the extent reasonably possible, Cohen & Steers shall participate in each shareholder voting 
 opportunity.                                                                                   |

| • |     | Voting rights shall not automatically be exercised in favor of management-supported proposals. |

| • |     | Cohen & Steers, and its officers and employees, shall never accept any item of value in consideration 
 of a favorable proxy vote.                                                                            |

General Guidelines

Set forth below are general guidelines that Cohen & Steers shall follow in exercising proxy voting rights:

| • |     | Prudence. In making a proxy voting decision, Cohen & Steers shall give appropriate                                                                                                                                                                        
 consideration to all relevant facts and circumstances, including the value of the securities to be voted and the likely effect any vote may have on that value. Since voting rights must be exercised on the basis of an informed judgment, investigation 
 shall be a critical initial step.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| • |     | Third Party Views. While Cohen & Steers may consider the views of third parties,                                                                                                                                            
 Cohen & Steers shall never base a proxy voting decision solely on the opinion of a third party. Rather, decisions shall be based on a reasonable and good faith determination as to how best to maximize shareholder value. |
