NEW YORK, September 29, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- This press release provides information to the shareholders of Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc (New York Stock Exchange ticker: RQI, hereinafter referred to as the "Fund") regarding the source of distributions to be paid on September 30, 2026, as well as information on the cumulative distributions paid to date for this fiscal year.

The fund stated that in December 2012, it implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with the exemption granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This policy was designed to help realize the fund's long-term total return potential by making regular monthly distributions at a fixed rate per common share. This policy allows the fund to more flexibly realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and distribute these earnings to shareholders on a monthly basis. The fund's board of directors may revise, terminate, or suspend this managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the fund shares.

Monthly distributions from a fund may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income, and/or capital refunds in the context of federal income tax. Capital refunds refer to distributions made by the fund that exceed its net investment income and realized capital gains; this excess amount comes from the fund's assets. Capital refunds are not taxable; rather, they reduce the tax base of the shares held by shareholders. In addition, distributions arising from the fund's investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) may also be classified as capital gains and/or capital refunds later on, depending on the nature of the dividends reported to the fund by the REITs held by the fund after the end of the year. The amount of monthly distributions can vary due to various factors, including changes in the portfolio and market conditions.

During each monthly distribution, the relevant information will be published on cohenandsteers.com and sent to shareholders via synchronized notifications. However, since the final tax attributes of the fund distribution can only be determined after the end of the calendar year, this information may change at the end of the year. The final tax attributes of all distributions will be included in Form from 1099 to DIV and will be sent out after the end of the calendar year.

The following table lists the estimated amounts currently allocated, as well as the cumulative allocation amounts paid to date this fiscal year from the sources indicated. All amounts are per common share.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions regarding the fund's investment performance based solely on the amount of this distribution or the terms of the fund's management-type distribution policy. The fund estimates that its distribution amount has exceeded its income and capital gains; therefore, part of your distribution may constitute a capital return. A capital return can occur, for example, when the fund returns to you some or all of the funds you have invested. Capital return distributions do not necessarily reflect the fund's investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The distribution amounts and sources disclosed in this notice are merely estimates and are likely to change in the future; they are not intended for tax purposes. The actual amounts and sources used for accounting and tax declarations will depend on the fund's investment performance during the remaining period of its fiscal year and may be adjusted due to changes in tax regulations. The distribution amounts and sources from the beginning of the year to date may also be further adjusted.

*The fund will send you Form 1099- DIV for that calendar year, explaining how to declare these distributions for federal income tax purposes.*

The cumulative total return of the fund for the fiscal year 2026 (from January 1, 2026, to August 31, 2026) is as follows. Shareholders should note the relationship between this cumulative total return from the beginning of the year to date and the fund's cumulative distribution rate for 2026. In addition, the five-year average annualized total return of the fund as of August 31, 2026, is as follows. Shareholders should also pay attention to the relationship between this five-year average annualized total return and the fund's current annualized distribution rate for 2026. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table are based on the fund's net asset value per share ( NAV ). The fund's NAV is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities from the total market value of all securities and other assets held by the fund, and then dividing by the total number of outstanding shares. Although the performance indicated by NAV may reflect the fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of shareholders' individual investments in the fund. The investment value of shareholders in the fund depends on the fund's market price, which is determined by the supply and demand for fund shares in the public market.
