Please vote now to help your fund(s) avoid further adjournments.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE NOW ON THIS IMPORTANT MATTER REGARDING THEIR FUND(S).
It’s extremely important that you participate in the management of your investment by voting. Please take a few moments to review the information in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus previously provided to you, and cast your vote now. You may obtain a copy of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for your fund(s) at http://www.nuveenproxy.com/Closed-End-Fund-Proxy-Information/.
Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC and the funds’ investment adviser, recommends the proposed merger/reorganizations as part of an ongoing initiative to rationalize the product offerings of Nuveen, LLC’s municipal closed-end funds. Based on information provided by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, each fund’s Board of Trustees believes that its proposed merger/reorganization may benefit common shareholders of the fund in a number of ways, including, among other things:
• The potential for higher common share net earnings, due in part to the combined fund’s larger exposure to lower rated securities (or “junk bonds”) which are subject to higher risk, as well as operating economies from the combined fund’s greater scale;
• Greater secondary market liquidity and improved secondary market trading for common shares as a result of the combined fund’s greater share volume, which may lead to narrower bid-ask spreads and smaller trade-to-trade price movements; and
• Increased portfolio and leverage management flexibility due to the significantly larger asset base of the combined fund and the combined fund’s national mandate with greater flexibility to invest in lower rated securities.
