The Fund will use the net proceeds from the sale of the MuniFund Preferred Shares (MFP), Series A to redeem all of its outstanding 15,800 Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, Series 2017, and to maintain the Fund’s leveraged capital structure. This action is part of Nuveen’s ongoing leverage management process.
The MFP shares were issued with terms establishing an initial Variable Rate Remarketed Mode and a term redemption date of May 1, 2047. During the Variable Rate Remarketed Mode, the dividend rate will be set daily by the remarketing agent, and the MFP Series A shares may be tendered for remarketing by the remarketing agent. The MFP shares are preferred securities of each fund and are senior, with priority in all respects, to each fund's common shares in liquidation and as to payments of dividends.
No MFP shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) or any state securities laws. Unless so registered, no MFP shares may be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
