NYLI CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Term Fund (MEGI) September 2025

Change in Board Composition and Structure is Not Warranted Page \| 2

------

![](g943455prsta_ltrp3g1.jpg)

Change is Not Warranted The proposed change to the Fund's trustees is not warranted. The Board maintains confidence in its ability and the investment managers' ability to deliver attractive total returns and income over the life of the Fund. • MEGI launched in October 2021 during a difficult period for high-yielding infrastructure assets. Despite headwinds, the Fund has maintained an attractive distribution level relative to its peers. • NAV and market price performance over the trailing 6- and 12-month periods has been strong and the discount to Net Asset Value (NAV) has gradually improved. • The Board and Fund management are committed to continued thoughtful actions designed to enhance long-term shareholder value and improve the relationship between the Fund's NAV and its market price. – Progressive fund structure: MEGI's limited-term structure is designed to benefit long-term shareowners, by providing shareholders liquidity at the end of the term at NAV and therefore eliminating the market price discount (if any) that a shareholder would recognize by selling its shares on the secondary trading market. – Competitive total expenses: The Fund's total operating expenses and management fees are competitive with peers. – Robust secondary market support: The Fund has a dedicated investor relations team that actively engages with shareholders and industry analysts through ongoing outreach and quarterly shareholder calls. – Discount narrowing initiatives: • The Board approved a 15% increase to the Fund's monthly distribution. • The Board approved the Fund's name change with the goal of highlighting the limited-term structure designed to benefit long-term shareholders.

Sound Corporate Governance The Board has established various committees through which the Independent Trustees focus on matters relating to particular aspects of the Fund's operations, such as investments, risk oversight and compliance, Fund fees and expenses and financial reporting. Independent and Active Risk Oversight Audit Committee Responsible for overseeing the Fund's processes for accounting, auditing, financial reporting and related internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Contracts Committee Responsible for assisting the Board in overseeing contracts to which the Fund is, or proposed to be, a party and to ensure that the interests of the Fund and its shareholders are served by the terms of these contracts. Investment Committee Responsible for assisting the Board in overseeing the portfolio management, performance and brokerage practices relating to the Fund and to consider any investment-related proposals. Nominating and Governance Responsible for assisting the Board in, among other things, seeking, evaluating and recommending qualified Committee individuals for Board membership. Operations Oversight Committee Responsible for assisting the Board in overseeing the policies, procedures, practices and systems relating to identifying and managing various risks and compliance matters, as applicable.

Recent Actions to Support Shareholder Interests 1. The Board has proactively taken "anti-entrenchment" actions that allow all shareholders to fully participate at shareholder meetings. • The Board removed control share provisions from the Fund's organizational documents in 2023. • Once MEGI was made subject to the Delaware Control Share statute, the Board took the necessary actions to ensure that all shares may be voted at shareholder meetings. 2. Careful consideration of all Trustee nominations. • The NYLI Group of Funds' Nominating & Governance Committees adopted a policy over 10 years ago not to nominate officers and employees of shareholder groups. The Nominating & Governance Committee of MEGI adopted this same policy at the time the Fund was launched. • The policy is grounded in the belief that trustees should represent the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders as a whole — not the interests of any individual group of shareholders. • The Committee noted that, in response to questions submitted by the Committee, Mr. Kazarian indicated that he already sits on two closed- end fund boards and has agreed to serve as a nominee for an additional 25 closed-end fund boards — in addition to MEGI. – The Committee further noted that, when afforded an opportunity to provide "any additional information the Committee should consider in relation to his nomination," Mr. Kazarian replied, "Not applicable." • After considering the information received, the Committee determined to nominate Mr. Latshaw, Ms. Hammond, Mr. Abou-Jaoudé, Mr. Chow and Mr. Trutanic — and not Mr. Kazarian.

Board Declassification The Board of Trustees strongly supports a classified board structure and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "AGAINST" the Saba Proposal on the WHITE proxy card Classified Board Structures are a Common Feature of Closed-End Funds • Classified board structures are intended to provide stability, continuity, and independence, and to enhance long-term planning. • The staggered term ensures that there are experienced Trustees serving on the Board who are familiar with the Fund, its operations, and its investment strategy. The Classified Board Structure Has Been in Place Since the Fund's Inception • The Board's classified structure has been in place and disclosed since the Fund's inception in 2021. • Shareholders have invested in the Fund with knowledge of this structure, which has served to keep consistent oversight and avoid the costs and disruption of frequent changes in the Board's membership. The Board Does Not Have the Power to Declassify the Board • The Saba Proposal requests that the Board "take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board." However, the Trustees do not have the power to declassify the Board. • Only shareholders have the authority to amend the relevant provisions of the Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust necessary to implement a declassified board structure.

Five Factor Approach FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY. Page \| 8

Five Factor Framework Distributions MEGI has delivered consistent and attractive distributions since its inception in October of 2021 • The Fund offers distribution rates higher than its peers, increasing the monthly distribution by 15% over the last 36 months. Peer funds have experienced a modest 4% increase in distributions over the same period. – On July 26, 2023, the Fund announced a 15% increase to monthly distributions, effective August 31, 2023, with the goal of increasing demand for shares in the secondary market and narrowing the Fund's discount to NAV. • The Board monitors the Fund's distributions on a quarterly basis. NAV Distribution Rate NYLI CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Term Fund Monthly Distribution Per Share 9.6% 8.0% $0.130 MEGI Peer Average $0.125 Market Price Distribution Rate $0.120 15% increase in monthly $0.115 distribution rate in August 2023. 10.3% 8.2% $0.110 MEGI Peer Average $0.105 3-Year Distribution Change $0.100 15% 4.0% $0.095 MEGI Peer Average As of 8/29/2025 Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 8/29/2025.

Five Factor Framework Shareholder Performance Since its launch in October 2021, MEGI's investment approach has navigated a series of challenging market conditions. However, the Fund has delivered strong performance over the trailing 6-month and YTD periods — both in terms of NAV and market price. • Strong underlying fundamentals of the Fund's portfolio holdings supported the ability of the Fund to increase its monthly distribution rate. • The rebound in the Fund's NAV performance and relatively attractive distribution rate has supported above average demand for shares which has resulted in a narrowing of the Fund's discount to NAV and market price outperformance.

Five Factor Framework NAV Premium and Discount The increase of the Fund's distribution rate, the ongoing commitment to secondary market support, and improving market conditions have all played a role in the narrowing the Fund's discount to NAV. • Following the increase in the Fund's regular distribution MEGI's discount has gradually improved.

Saba Capital Activism Page \| 14

![](g943455prsta_ltrp15g1.jpg)

Saba Capital Activism Saba's Activist Initiatives have Adverse Consequences to Long-Term Shareholders Saba aggressively targets closed-end funds trading at a discount to NAV and seeks to disrupt traditional board governance by nominating Saba insiders as trustees • Risks fiduciary objectivity by replacing independent trustees with Saba affiliates. • Uses proxy fights and public campaigns to pressure Boards into conceding to short-term demands. – Pushes for tender offers, fund mergers, fund liquidations or conversions to open-end structures. • Leverages concentrated positions to amplify voting power, often not aligned with long-term shareholders. Saba's initiatives are intended to generate short-term profits to the benefit of Saba and regularly seek to cause closed-end funds to engage in actions which can result in adverse consequences for long-term investors • Short-term arbitrage strategies favor Saba's exit, not long-term performance or stability of income distributions to shareholders. – Disrupt Fund operations by forcing liquidity events that could necessitate negative changes in a Fund's investment approach and create negative tax implications, potentially resulting in reduced distributions to shareholders. – Potential for NAV erosion if forced tenders occur in unfavorable market conditions. • Saba's activism often does not have a sustained positive impact on a Fund's discount to NAV (see pg. 17).

Eaton Vance v. Saba Capital Master Fund Saba's Activist Tactics Viewed by the Judge as Misaligned with the Purpose of Closed-End Funds In March 2020, the Board of certain Eaton Vance closed-end funds amended the bylaws of four closed-end funds to adopt the Majority Rule Amendment, which required a majority of outstanding shares, not just votes cast, for trustee elections if contested. Saba sued, claiming this amendment violated federal law and the fund declarations by impairing shareholder rights. The judge made several notable and pointed remarks about Saba's conduct and strategy, particularly in the context of Saba's activist strategy and impact on a fund's ability to deliver on its investment objective. • "Saba's result may well have more to do with Saba's activist agenda, which I have found is contrary to and inconsistent with the stated investment objectives of the Funds." – This reflects the judge's skepticism toward Saba's motives and tactics. The court repeatedly emphasized that Saba's push to monetize discounts to NAV conflicted with the Funds' goals of stable income generation for long-term investors. • "I have reasonably inferred most retail shareholders and non-activist investors likely invest in closed-end funds with investment objectives that align with the closed-end funds' investment goals." – The judge reinforces the idea that Saba's activism does not align with the expectations or interests of typical closed-end funds investors, such as retirees seeking consistent income. The Court paints a clear picture: • Saba's activist tactics were viewed as misaligned with the purpose of closed-end funds. • Retail investors were presumed to favor fund management's long-term income goals over Saba's discount-monetization approach.

Settlement Agreement & Tender Offer Analysis ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund (EMO) Premium / Discount to NAV Saba's activism and the subsequent tender offer did not have a sustained positive impact on the Fund's discount to NAV • Saba Capital first disclosed their position in EMO in July 2022 at which time EMO was trading at a discount to NAV of -18.64%. – By September 2022, Saba had accumulated over 1 million shares of EMO (~10% of shares outstanding); Saba's position in EMO reached its peak of nearly 3 million shares (~24% of shares outstanding) in December 2023. • EMO announced that the Fund had entered into a Settlement Agreement with Saba Capital on 12/26/2023. – Under the Settlement Agreement, EMO agreed to conduct a tender offer for up to 50% of outstanding shares at a price equal to 100% of NAV. – The Fund's discount to NAV tightened from -11.99% to -7.42% upon the announcement. • The Fund conducted the tender offer from 5/21/2024 through 6/20/2024. 50% of the Fund's shares outstanding were tendered, including the entirety of Saba's position. – EMO's discount to NAV was -9.27% at the expiration of the tender offer, and it subsequently widened to -15.67% by 8/5/2024. – In the year following the expiration of the tender offer, the Funds discount to NAV averaged ~11%.

Directors Responsibility The Responsibilities of Fund Directors are Different from Operating Company Directors. • Because a fund has no employees of its own, the Board of Directors of a mutual fund relies on the fund's manager and other service providers to run the fund's day to day operations. • A fund Board accordingly focuses on the performance of the fund's manager and other service providers under their respective contracts with the fund, and monitors conflicts of interest. • Importantly, a fund board does not serve the same function as the board or officers of the fund's manager. For example, a fund board has no authority to change the officers or personnel or otherwise direct the operations of the fund's manager. • The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized this unique role of fund boards, noting a fund board serves as "an independent watchdog" that furnishes "an independent check" on fund management.

Fund Governance MEGI's trustees oversee all of the mutual funds and closed-end funds managed by New York Life Investments. • This oversight structure is dominant in the fund industry, as the funds in the complex are served by common service providers and personnel. • The Independent Directors Counsel has noted many benefits of this structure, noting that "the practice of having a single board oversee all of the funds within a complex … enhances the board's knowledge and expertise, as well as its authority and influence." • The trustees consider the number of funds they oversee as part of their annual self-assessment, consistent with SEC rules. MEGI's trustees have significant investments in the funds they oversee, including MEGI. • Each of MEGI's independent trustees is significantly invested in the NYLI Group of Funds, with each independent trustee committing to investing at least $100,000 across the fund family. • Two of the trustees currently have investments in MEGI.
