The Fund will use the net proceeds from the sale of the MuniFund Preferred Shares (MFP), Series A to redeem all of its outstanding 30,000 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 Series A shares were issued with terms establishing an initial Variable Rate Mode ending May 9, 2018, and a term redemption date of May 1, 2047.
