LEAWOOD, Kan.--April 8, 2011--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. (NYSE: TTO) (the company) today announced that its stockholders approved a proposal to authorize the withdrawal of the Company's election to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

TTO intends to exercise its ability to withdraw as a BDC when its investments no longer meet the qualifying asset tests of BDC requirements. Following withdrawal of its BDC election, TTO would have the flexibility to invest in real, physical assets, rather than investment securities. TTO will seek to identify and invest in energy infrastructure assets that have the potential to become real estate investment trust (REIT) qualified. The Company may in the future elect to be taxed as a REIT, provided that it has qualifying assets and income to permit such election.

At the company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders the following proposals were also approved: (i) election of one director, (ii) ability to sell or otherwise issue warrants, rights or options to subscribe for or convertible into shares of common stock and issue common shares underlying such warrants, rights or options upon their exercise and (iii) the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, 2011.

Tortoise is an investment manager specializing in managing portfolios of MLPs and other energy companies. As of March 31, 2011 the adviser had approximately $6.6 billion of assets under management in six NYSE-listed investment companies and private accounts.
