Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On June 7, 2018, Tortoise MLP Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") announced the terms of a pro rata offering of transferable rights (the "Rights") to holders of the Fund's common shares, as of the record date of June 19, 2018 ("Record Date Shareholder"), entitling the holders of such rights to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 15,802,094 of the Fund's common shares. Record Date Shareholders received one Right for each outstanding whole common share held on the record date. The Rights entitle their holders to purchase one new common share for every three Rights held; however, any Record Date Stockholder who owns fewer than three common shares as of the Record Date will be entitled to subscribe for one common share. The subscription price per common share is an estimated $16.54 (the "basic subscription privilege").
( 2 )The reporting person exercised his basic subscription privilege. The subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 18, 2018 (unless otherwise extended).

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
