IMPORTANT NOTICE
REGARDING YOUR INVESTMENT

Dear Fellow Stockholder:
The Board of Directors of Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company (the Company) has called a
Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 30, 2006. At the Special Meeting,
Stockholders will be asked to vote on the approval of a new investment management agreement between
the Company and Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (the Adviser).
Under the current management investment agreement, the Adviser is paid quarterly a base management
fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Companys average total assets (the Base Management Fee),
subject to a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment is based on the Companys
investment performance relative to the performance of the Standard and Poors (S&P) 400 Utilities
Index plus 6.00%. The performance adjustment can result in up to a 1.00% increase or decrease to
the Base Management Fee. As a result, the total management fee can range from an annual rate of
0.75% to an annual rate of 2.75%.
Under the new management agreement, the Adviser would be paid quarterly a fixed management fee at
an annual rate of 1.375% of the Companys average total assets, with no performance adjustment.
Additional information about this proposal and the Special Meeting can be found in the proxy
statement previously mailed to you. Another copy of your proxy card(s) are enclosed for your
convenience. If you would like another copy of the proxy statement, please call 1-800-284-1755.
The Funds records indicate that you have yet to vote on this proposal. If you are not planning to

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the new management agreement and believes it is in
the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders. The Directors recommend that you vote in
favor of the new management agreement.
