New York, February 24, 2022 – Certain Nuveen-sponsored closed-end funds (the “Funds”) today announced that their Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved an amendment to the Funds’ by-laws suspending application of the by-laws’ control share provision (the “Control Share By-Law”).

The Control Share By-Law provides that a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common shares of a Fund in a Control Share Acquisition (as defined in the by-laws) may exercise voting rights with respect to such shares only to the extent the authorization of such voting rights is approved by other shareholders of the Fund. The Control Share By-Law, which was adopted by the Board in October 2020 after a rigorous and deliberative review and with the advice of counsel, is primarily intended to protect the long-term interests of the Funds and their shareholders by limiting the risk that the Funds will become subject to undue influence by opportunistic hedge funds pursuing their own short-term agendas to the detriment of other shareholders.

On January 14, 2021, Saba Capital Management, L.P. and an affiliated hedge fund (collectively, “Saba”) filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against certain Funds and the Board, alleging that the Control Share By-Law violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). On February 18, 2022, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of Saba on its claims for rescission and declaratory judgment. Following careful review of the order of the District Court, on February 24, 2022, the Board amended the Funds’ by-laws to provide that the Control Share By-Law shall be of no force and effect for so long as the judgment of the District Court is effective and that if the judgment of the District Court is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the Control Share By-Law will be automatically reinstated and apply to any beneficial owner of common shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition, regardless of whether such Control Share Acquisition occurs before or after such reinstatement, for the duration of the stay or upon issuance of the mandate reversing, overturning, vacating or otherwise nullifying the judgment of the District Court.

The Board and the Funds intend to appeal the District Court’s decision. “The Board adopted the Control Share By-Law to protect the interests of the Funds and their shareholders against predatory attacks by hedge funds, and we look forward to exercising our rights on appeal,” said Terence J. Toth, Chair of the Board. “In taking this action, the Board continues to act in the best interests of shareholders by vigorously protecting their ability to access the Funds’ income-producing strategies against hedge funds seeking short-term profits to the detriment of our shareholders.”

The foregoing discussion is only a summary of certain aspects of the Funds’ by-laws, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Funds’ by-laws. Investors should refer to the by-laws for more information. A copy of the Funds’ by-laws can be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov and may also be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the Fund at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

This press release is not intended to, and does not, constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of any Fund; nor is this press release intended to solicit a proxy from any shareholder of any Fund.
