BNY Mellon Investment Management Announces Realignment of Several of Its Investment Firms and Anticipated Changes to the Sub-Advisory Arrangement for BNY Mellon Municipal Bond Infrastructure Fund, Inc

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BNY Mellon Investment Management announced today that, in partnership and agreement with several of its investment firms, it is realigning those firms to enhance their specialist capabilities. The realignment will change the sub-advisory arrangement for BNY Mellon Municipal Bond Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the "Fund").

More specifically, as a result of this realignment, which is scheduled to occur, subject to regulatory requirements, in the third quarter of 2021 (the "Effective Date"), portfolio managers responsible for managing the Fund's investments who are employees of Mellon Investments Corporation ("Mellon"), the Fund's sub-adviser, will become employees of Insight North America LLC ("INA"), which, like Mellon, is an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. ("BNYM Investment Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser, and will no longer be employees of Mellon. Consequently, effective as of the Effective Date and subject to the approval of the Fund's board of directors, BNYM Investment Adviser will engage INA to serve as the Fund's sub-adviser, pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between BNYM Investment Adviser and INA, replacing Mellon. As the Fund's sub-adviser, INA will provide the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments, subject to BNYM Investment Adviser's supervision and approval.

It is currently anticipated that the Fund's portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments will continue to manage the Fund's investments as of the Effective Date. It is also currently anticipated that there will be no material changes to the Fund's investment objective, strategies or policies, no reduction in the nature or level of services provided to the Fund, and no increase in the management fee payable by the Fund as a result of the engagement of INA as the Fund's sub-adviser. As is the case under the current sub-investment advisory agreement between BNYM Investment Adviser and Mellon, BNYM Investment Adviser (and not the Fund) will pay INA for its sub-advisory services. The rate of sub-investment advisory fee payable by BNYM Investment Adviser to INA will be the same as that currently payable by BNYM Investment Adviser to Mellon pursuant to the current sub-investment advisory agreement. In addition, all other material terms and conditions of the proposed sub-investment advisory agreement between BNYM Investment Adviser and INA will be substantially similar to those of the current sub-investment advisory agreement between BNYM Investment Adviser and Mellon.
