HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company (the “Company” or “KED”) KED announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.52 per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2014. This distribution represents an increase of 1.0% over the prior quarterly distribution and an increase of 14.3% over the same period last year.

The distribution will be payable on October 24, 2014 to common stockholders of record on October 17, 2014, with an ex-dividend date of October 15, 2014. The Company estimates that none of this distribution will be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes. This estimate is based on the Company's anticipated earnings and profits for fiscal 2014 and its accumulated earnings and profits as of August 31, 2014 (including gains and losses on sales of securities during the nine months ended August 31, 2014). The Company's estimate does not include a projection of gains or losses on the sale of securities for the remainder of fiscal 2014. The final determination of the tax character of the distribution will be made in early 2015 when the Company can determine its actual earnings and profits for the full year (including gains and losses on the sale of securities for the remainder of fiscal 2014) and may differ substantially from this preliminary information.

The Company also announced today its net asset value (NAV) as of August 31, 2014 of $405.6 million or $38.62 per share. The Company's ten largest holdings by issuer at August 31, 2014 were as follows:
