The Cushing Renaissance Fund announces a share repurchase program. Under the program, the company will repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares as of December 31, 2016. Repurchases will be made on a national security exchange at the prevailing market price. The Board approved the repurchase program as part of its ongoing evaluation of options to enhance shareholder value and potentially decrease the discount between the market price and net asset value (NAV) of the common shares. The amount and timing of any repurchases will be determined at the discretion of a broker-dealer retained by the fund pursuant to predetermined parameters and instructions subject to market conditions. Repurchases will be subject to exchange requirements and certain volume and timing limitations and other regulations under the federal securities laws. The repurchase program will automatically terminate if the common shares trade at a discount to NAV of 5% or less for ten consecutive trading days. There is no assurance that the fund will repurchase shares in any particular amount. The fund's repurchase activity will be disclosed in its shareholder report for each relevant fiscal period. The share repurchase program is valid until December 31, 2017.
