ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: CTR) (the “Fund”) announced today the final results for its issuer tender offer for up to 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (“Shares”) of the Fund (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer expired on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

A total of 3,774,769 Shares were duly tendered and not withdrawn. Because the number of Shares tendered exceeds 3,443,416 Shares, the tender offer has been oversubscribed. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the tender offer, the Fund will purchase Shares from all tendering stockholders on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, approximately 91.24% of Shares for each stockholder who properly tendered shares have been accepted for payment. The Shares accepted for tender were repurchased at a price of $44.45 equal to 100% of the per Share net asset value, as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on June 20, 2024.

Payment for such Shares will be made on or about June 25, 2024. Shares that were not tendered will remain outstanding.

Any questions about the Tender Offer can be directed to Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the Tender Offer, toll free at (866) 920-4920.
