Why has the Nuveen Closed-End Fund Board of Trustees recommended these proposals?
The acquiring and acquired funds have substantially similar investment portfolios as well as
investment objectives and policies. The proposed mergers are intended to enhance the Funds
trading appeal and lower operating expenses by creating a single, larger fund in each state. In
approving the proposed mergers, the Fund Board concluded that the proposed mergers would be in the
best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
What are the proposed mergers potential benefits to me as a Fund common shareholder?
The proposed mergers will create a single, larger fund in each state. This is expected to offer
the following benefits to fund shareholders:
|
1. |
|
Lower fund expense ratio as fixed costs are spread over a larger asset
base; |
|
|
2. |
|
Enhanced secondary market trading because a larger fund is expected to
make it easier for investors to buy and sell fund shares; |
|
|
3. |
|
Lower trading costs through reduced bid/ask spreads due to
a larger common share float; |
|
|
4. |
|
Increased fund flexibility in managing the structure and cost of its
leverage over time. |

How will MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) shareholders be impacted by the mergers?
Upon the closing of each reorganization, acquired fund MTP shareholders will receive in exchange
for each of their Fund shares one share of newly issued MTP from the acquiring fund with the
substantially the same terms and par value as the shares exchanged. Both acquiring and acquired
fund MTP shareholders are expected to benefit from the larger fund size and increased level of
diversification.
Will Nuveen merge other state closed-end funds ?
The Nuveen Closed-End Fund Board of Trustees regularly considers various actions that may be taken
to enhance the secondary market for a funds common shares. This may include, but is not limited
to, the consideration of potential fund mergers
What actions do I need to take at this time?
You do not need to do anything at this time. More information on the proposed mergers will be
contained in the proxy materials expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
