Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 13, 2023, Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Value Fund (the “Fund”) announced that the board of trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) and the boards of certain other investment companies advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and its affiliates (collectively, the “Nuveen Funds”), as well as certain mutual funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC that are series of the TIAA-CREF Funds and the TIAA-CREF Life Funds (collectively, the “TC Funds,” and together with the Nuveen Funds, the “Fund Complex”) separately determined to approve the alignment and consolidation of the membership of the boards so that funds in the Fund Complex are overseen by the same board members (the “Board Consolidation”).

The Board Consolidation is expected to (i) generate cost efficiencies and expense savings that would benefit Fund shareholders; (ii) align the Fund Complex and the consolidated Board with Nuveen’s operating model to promote growth across new, as well as similar, investment products; (iii) facilitate negotiating with vendors as a unified Fund Complex to obtain expected economies of scale and to standardize servicing; (iv) expand marketing and distribution opportunities associated with presenting the TC Funds and Nuveen Funds to the marketplace as one Fund Complex and grow investor engagement; and (v) eliminate duplicate efforts in board operations.
