Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   
  This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 10/7/22, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed 10/26/22, Amendment No. 2 filed 11/22/22, Amendment No. 3 filed 1/25/23, Amendment No. 4 filed 2/23/23, Amendment No. 5 filed 2/28/23, Amendment No. 6 filed 6/1/23, Amendment No. 7 filed 6/28/23, and Amendment No. 8 filed 6/30/23; with respect to the common shares of ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Fund Inc. This Amendment No. 9 amends Items 3 and 5, as set forth below.
   

Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

   

 

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $53,451,596 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.


Item 5.

(b)

See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the number of Common Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
