As previously disclosed, the shareholders of each Fund and certain other investment companies advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (collectively, the “Nuveen Funds”) were asked to elect nominees to the board of trustees/directors of the Nuveen Funds (the “Board”) on November 20, 2023. On that date, all 12 nominees were successfully elected to the Board and were seated on the Board effective January 1, 2024. These same nominees concurrently were elected by their respective shareholders to the boards of the mutual funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC that are series of the TIAA-CREF Funds and the TIAA-CREF Life Funds (the “TC Funds”) (collectively, with the Nuveen Funds, to be known as the “Nuveen Fund Complex”).

Thus, the current board members of the Nuveen Fund Complex are Joseph A. Boateng, Michael A. Forrester, Thomas J. Kenny, Amy B. R. Lancellotta, Joanne T. Medero, Albin F. Moschner, John K. Nelson, Loren M. Starr, Matthew Thornton III, Terence J. Toth, Margaret L. Wolff and Robert L. Young.


Each of these board members is considered to be independent, which means that they are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Certain biographical information regarding the board members can be found in the Funds’ statements of additional information (“SAIs”) and prior supplements thereto.

Relatedly, two then-existing trustees/directors of the Nuveen Funds, Jack B. Evans and William C. Hunter, retired from the Board on December 31, 2023.

Additionally, the Board approved the following actions effective January 1, 2024:

 

  1.

Chair/Co-Chair of the Board: Thomas J. Kenny was elected as Co-Chair of the Board for a one-year term ending on December 31, 2024. Terence J. Toth was elected as Co-Chair of the Board for a six-month term ending on June 30, 2024. Robert L. Young was elected as Co-Chair of the Board for a six-month term from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Each of these individuals will also serve as Co-Chairs of the boards of the TC Funds for the same terms.

 

  2.

Membership of Board Committees: The Board retained the seven standing committees applicable to the Funds as described in their SAIs and the members of each committee are listed below.

Executive Committee: Mr. Kenny and Mr. Toth, Co-Chairs, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Young. On July 1, 2024, Mr. Young will replace Mr. Toth as Co-Chair of the Executive Committee.

Dividend Committee: Mr. Thornton, Chair, Ms. Lancellotta, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Starr.

Audit Committee: Mr. Nelson, Chair, Mr. Boateng, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Starr, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. Mr. Boateng, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr and Mr. Young have each been designated as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee: Ms. Wolff, Chair, Mr. Forrester, Mr. Kenny, Ms. Lancellotta, Ms. Medero, Mr. Thornton and Mr. Toth.

Nominating and Governance Committee: Mr. Kenny and Mr. Toth, Co-Chairs, Mr. Boateng, Mr. Forrester, Ms. Lancellotta, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr, Mr. Thornton, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. On July 1, 2024, Mr. Young will replace Mr. Toth as Co-Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Investment Committee: Mr. Boateng and Ms. Lancellotta, Co-Chairs, Mr. Forrester, Mr. Kenny, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Toth, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young.

  3.

Board Member Compensation: Effective January 1, 2024, for their service to the Nuveen Fund Complex, Board members receive a $350,000 annual retainer, plus they receive (a) an annual retainer of $30,000 for membership on the Audit Committee and Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, respectively; and (b) an annual retainer of $20,000 for membership on the Dividend Committee, Investment Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Open-End Fund Committee, respectively. In addition to the payments described above, the Chair/Co-Chair of the Board receives $140,000 annually; the chair/co-chair of the Audit Committee and the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee receive $30,000 annually; and the chair/co-chair of the Dividend Committee, Investment Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and the Open-End Fund Committee receive $20,000 annually. Board members will be paid either $1,000 or $2,500 for any ad hoc meetings of the Board or its standing committees depending upon the meeting’s length and immediacy. For any special assignment committees, the chair/co-chair will be paid a quarterly fee of $1,250 and members will be paid a quarterly fee of $5,000. The annual retainers, fees and expenses of the Board are allocated among the funds in the Nuveen Fund Complex on the basis of relative net assets, although a minimum amount may be established to be allocated to each fund. In certain instances fees and expenses will be allocated only to those funds that are discussed at a given meeting.

Because Mr. Boateng, Mr. Forrester, Mr. Kenny and Mr. Starr are new to the Board (the “New Board Members”), they did not receive any compensation from the Nuveen Funds prior to January 1, 2024. Additionally, information concerning New Board Members’ beneficial ownership of shares in the Funds is not presented since they were not Board members as of December 31, 2023.
