STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> Shares generally pay dividends based on short-term interest rates, and the proceeds from the issuance of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares are used to buy
municipal bonds, which pay interest based on long-term yields. Long-term municipal bond yields are typically, although not always, higher than short-term interest rates. Long-term, intermediate-term and short-term interest rates may fluctuate. If
short-term interest rates rise, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> Share rates may rise so that the amount of dividends paid to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> shareholders exceeds the income from the portfolio
securities purchased with the proceeds from the sale of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> Shares. Because income from the Fund&#146;s entire investment portfolio (not just the portion of the portfolio attributable to the proceeds from
the issuance of Preferred Shares) is available to pay dividends on the Fund&#146;s outstanding Preferred Shares, however, dividend rates on the Preferred Shares would need to greatly exceed the Fund&#146;s net portfolio income before the Fund&#146;s
ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Shares, including the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> Shares, would be jeopardized. If long-term rates rise, the value of the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio will decline, reducing the

M of the Code, and intends to distribute substantially all of its net income and gains to its shareholders. Therefore, it is not expected that the Fund will be subject to any U.S. federal income tax to the extent its earnings are so distributed. To
qualify under Subchapter M for tax treatment as a regulated investment company, the Fund must, among other requirements: (a)&nbsp;distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of the sum of (i)&nbsp;its investment company taxable income (as that term
is defined in the Code) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii)&nbsp;its net <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> income (the excess of its gross <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT>
interest income over certain disallowed deductions) and (b)&nbsp;diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Fund (i)&nbsp;at least 50% of the market value of the Fund&#146;s total assets is represented by cash, cash
items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, with these other securities limited, with respect to any one issuer, to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the Fund&#146;s total
assets, and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii)&nbsp;not more than 25% of the market value of the Fund&#146;s total assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government
securities or securities of other regulated investment companies), two or more issuers (other than securities of other regulated investment companies) controlled by the Fund and engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses or
one&nbsp;or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. In meeting these requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund may be restricted in the utilization of certain of the investment techniques described under &#147;The Fund&#146;s
Investments&#148; in the prospectus. If in any year the Fund should fail to qualify under Subchapter M for tax treatment as a regulated investment company and not cure such failure, the Fund would incur a regular federal corporate income tax on its
taxable income for that year, and distributions to its shareholders would be taxable to such holders as ordinary income to the extent of the earnings and profits of the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

be determined primarily by the tax character of the Fund&#146;s underlying income. Although the Fund expects that most of its income will be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt,</FONT> some of the Fund&#146;s income may be taxable as capital
gains or ordinary income. In addition, although the Fund expects that under normal circumstances it will not invest in municipal bonds the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, at times a portion of the Fund&#146;s <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Internal Revenue Service requires a regulated investment company that has two or more classes of shares outstanding to designate to each
such class proportionate amounts of each type of its income for each tax year based upon the percentage of total dividends distributed to each class for such year. The Fund intends each year to allocate, to the fullest extent practicable, net <FONT

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> municipal bonds. Exempt-interest dividends are dividends paid by the Fund that are attributable to interest on municipal bonds and are so designated by the Fund. The Fund intends to invest primarily in
municipal bonds the income of which is otherwise exempt from regular U.S. federal income tax, the federal alternative minimum tax. Thus, substantially all of the Fund&#146;s dividends to the common shareholders and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> shareholders will qualify as exempt-interest dividends. Exempt-interest dividends will be exempt from U.S. federal income tax, subject to the possible application of the federal alternative minimum
tax. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Exempt-Interest Dividends Subject to the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax</U>. Subject to the changes made to the Tax
Act, discussed below, Federal tax law imposes a federal alternative minimum tax with respect to corporations, individuals, trusts and estates. Interest on certain municipal securities, such as bonds issued to make loans for housing purposes or to
private entities (but not to certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations such as universities and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-profit</FONT> hospitals) is included as an item of tax preference in determining the
amount of a taxpayer&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income. To the extent that the Fund receives income from municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of the dividends paid by it, although otherwise exempt
from U.S. federal income tax, will be taxable to its shareholders to the extent that their tax liability is determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will annually supply a report indicating the percentage of the Fund&#146;s
income attributable to municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, for certain corporations, alternative minimum taxable income is increased by 75% of the difference between an alternative measure of income
(&#147;adjusted current earnings&#148;) and the amount </FONT></P>

of time the shareholder has owned Common Shares or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT> Shares of the Fund. The amount of capital gains and ordinary income allocable to the Fund&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VRRM-MFP</FONT>

Advisors, LLC (&#147;Nuveen Fund Advisors&#148;), believes are underrated or undervalued or that represent municipal market sectors that are undervalued. As a fundamental investment policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least
80% of its Assets (as defined herein) in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income taxes. As a fundamental investment policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its Assets in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals at the time of purchase. As a non-fundamental investment policy, under
normal circumstances, the Fund will invest 100% of its Managed Assets (as defined herein) in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals at
the time of purchase. As a non-fundamental investment policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Managed Assets in securities rated, at the time of investment, below the three highest grades (Baa or BBB or lower) by at
least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization, which includes below-investment-grade or unrated securities judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund&#146;s sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (&#147;NAM&#148;). There can

investment objectives. The Fund may use leverage to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund may source leverage through a number of methods including the issuance of preferred shares, investments in inverse
floating rate securities, entering into reverse repurchase agreements (effectively a secured borrowing) and borrowings (subject to certain investment restrictions). The Fund pays a management fee to Nuveen Fund Advisors (which in turn pays a portion
of its fees to NAM) based on a percentage of Managed Assets. Because Managed Assets for this purpose includes the assets acquired from the Fund&#146;s use of leverage, Nuveen Fund Advisors and NAM may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether the Fund should use or increase leverage. <B>See &#147;Use of Leverage&#148; and &#147;The Fund&#146;s Investments.&#148; There is no assurance that the Fund&#146;s leveraging strategy will be successful. Leverage involves special risks. See

companies, among other requirements, the Fund must derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain prescribed sources. Additionally, in order to qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must meet certain
distribution requirements. The failure to pay distributions could result in the Fund ceasing to qualify as a regulated investment company. Nevertheless, the Fund might not distribute all of its net investment income, and the Fund is not required to
distribute any portion of its net capital gains. If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates
without any deduction for distributions to stockholders, and such distributions would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits. The value of Securities may be adversely affected

conflict of interest in determining whether the Fund should use or increase leverage. Nuveen Fund Advisors will seek to manage that potential conflict by only increasing the Fund&#146;s use of leverage when it determines that such increase is in the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Credit risk is the risk that one or more municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in price, or the issuer thereof will fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer
of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. In general, lower-rated municipal securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative
impact on the Fund&#146;s net asset value or dividends. Credit risk is increased when a portfolio security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of the issuer deteriorates. If a municipal security satisfies the rating requirements
described under &#147;The Fund&#146;s Investments&#148; at the time of investment and is subsequently downgraded below that rating, the Fund will not be required to dispose of the security. If a downgrade occurs, NAM will consider what action,
including the sale of the security, is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. This means that the Fund may be invested in municipal securities that have become involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; and may invest in
municipal securities that are experiencing other financial difficulties at the time of acquisition (such securities are commonly referred to as distressed securities). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

grade quality, commonly referred to as junk bonds, are regarded as having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due, and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due
to adverse economic and business developments. Also, to the extent that the rating assigned to a municipal security in the Fund&#146;s portfolio is downgraded by any NRSRO, the market price and liquidity of such security may be adversely affected.
The market values for municipal securities of below investment grade quality tend to be volatile, and these securities are less liquid than investment grade municipal securities. For these reasons, an investment in the Fund, compared with a

investment grade issuer. The principal amount of below investment grade securities outstanding has proliferated in the past decade as an increasing number of issuers have used below investment
grade securities for financing. An economic downturn may severely affect the ability of highly leveraged issuers to service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations upon maturity. In the event of an economic downturn, with decreased tax
and other revenue streams of municipal issuers, or in the event interest rates rise sharply, increasing the interest cost on variable rate instruments and negatively impacting economic activity, the number of defaults by below investment grade
municipal issuers will likely increase. Similarly, downturns in profitability in specific industries could adversely affect private activity bonds. The market values of lower quality debt securities tend to reflect individual developments of the
issuer to a greater extent than do higher quality securities, which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Factors having an adverse impact on the market value of lower quality securities may have an adverse impact
on the Fund&#146;s net asset value and the market value of its Common Shares. In addition, the Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a default in payment of principal or interest on its portfolio
holdings. In certain circumstances, the Fund may be required to foreclose on an issuer&#146;s assets and take possession of its property or operations. In such circumstances, the Fund would incur additional costs in disposing of such assets and
potential liabilities from operating any business acquired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The secondary market for below investment grade securities may
not be as liquid as the secondary market for more highly rated securities, a factor that may have an adverse effect on the Fund&#146;s ability to dispose of a particular security. There are fewer dealers in the market for below investment grade
municipal securities than the market for investment grade municipal securities. The prices quoted by different dealers for below investment grade municipal securities may vary significantly, and the spread between the bid and ask price is generally
much larger for below investment grade municipal securities than for higher quality instruments. Under adverse market or economic conditions, the secondary market for below investment grade securities could contract, independent of any specific
adverse changes in the condition of a particular issuer, and these instruments may become illiquid. As a result, the Fund could find it more difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell the securities only at prices lower than if such
securities were widely traded. Prices realized upon the sale of such lower rated or unrated securities, under these circumstances, may be less than the prices used in calculating the Fund&#146;s net asset value. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Issuers of such below investment grade securities are typically highly leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional
methods of financing. Therefore, the risk associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally is greater than is the case with higher rated securities. For example, during an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest
rates, highly leveraged issuers of below investment grade securities may experience financial stress. During such periods, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their interest payment obligations. The issuer&#146;s ability to service
its debt obligations also may be adversely affected by specific developments, the issuer&#146;s inability to meet specific projected forecasts or the unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss from default by the issuer is
significantly greater for the holders of below investment grade securities because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Prices and yields of below investment grade securities will
fluctuate over time and, during periods of economic uncertainty, volatility of below investment grade securities may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s net asset value. In addition, investments in below investment grade zero coupon bonds rather than
income-bearing below investment grade securities, may be more speculative and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value due to changes in interest rates. </FONT></P>

municipal securities issued by issuers that have become involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and may invest in municipal securities issued by issuers experiencing financial difficulties at the time of acquisition by the Fund. The issuers
of such securities may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These
characteristics of these issuers can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These issuers&#146; securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the issuers to pay
their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic climate, economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the issuers. Distressed securities frequently do
not produce income while they are outstanding and may require the Fund to bear certain extraordinary expenses in order to protect and recover its investment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since the financial crisis that started in 2008, the U.S.&nbsp;and many foreign economies continue to experience its after-effects. Conditions in the U.S.&nbsp;and many foreign economies have resulted,
and may continue to result, in certain instruments experiencing unusual liquidity issues, increased price volatility and, in some cases, credit downgrades and increased likelihood of default. These events have reduced the willingness and ability of
some lenders to extend credit, and have made it more difficult for some borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms, if at all. In some cases, traditional market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt
instruments, which has affected the liquidity of those instruments. During times of market turmoil, investors tend to look to the safety of securities issued or backed by the U.S.&nbsp;Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and the
yields to decline. Reduced liquidity in fixed income and credit markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities
that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. A rise in protectionist trade policies, and the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements, could affect the economies of
many nations in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In response to the financial crisis, the

economic conditions are recovering, such countries are nevertheless perceived as still fragile. Withdrawal of government support, failure of efforts in response to the crisis, or investor
perception that such efforts are not succeeding, could adversely impact the value and liquidity of certain securities. The severity or duration of adverse economic conditions may also be affected by policy changes made by governments or
quasi-governmental organizations, including changes in tax laws. The impact of new financial regulation legislation on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time. Regulatory changes are
causing some financial services companies to exit long-standing lines of business, resulting in dislocations for other market participants. In addition, the contentious domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events
within the United States and abroad, such as the U.S.&nbsp;government&#146;s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, the threat of a federal government shutdown and threats not to increase the federal
government&#146;s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. The U.S.&nbsp;government has recently reduced federal
corporate income tax rates, and future legislative, regulatory and policy changes may result in more restrictions on international trade, less stringent prudential regulation of certain players in the financial markets, and significant new
investments in infrastructure and national defense. Markets may react strongly to expectations about the changes in these policies, which could increase volatility, especially if the markets&#146; expectations for changes in government policies are
not borne out. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Changes in market conditions will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Interest rates have
been unusually low in recent years in the United States and abroad. Because there is little precedent for this situation, it is difficult to predict the impact of a significant rate increase on various markets. For example, because investors may buy
securities or other investments with borrowed money, a significant increase in interest rates may cause a decline in the markets for those investments. Because of the sharp decline in the worldwide price of oil, there is a concern that oil producing
nations may withdraw significant assets now held in U.S.&nbsp;Treasuries, which could force a substantial increase in interest rates. Regulators have expressed concern that rate increases may cause investors to sell fixed income securities faster
than the market can absorb them, contributing to price volatility. In addition, there is a risk that the prices of goods and services in the U.S.&nbsp;and many foreign economies may decline over time, known as deflation (the opposite of inflation).
Deflation may have an adverse effect on stock prices and creditworthiness and may make defaults on debt more likely. If a country&#146;s economy slips into a deflationary pattern, it could last for a prolonged period and may be difficult to reverse.
The precise details and the resulting impact of the United Kingdom&#146;s vote to leave the European Union (&#147;EU&#148;), commonly referred to as &#147;Brexit,&#148; are not yet known. The effect on the United Kingdom&#146;s economy will likely
depend on the nature of trade relations with the EU and other major economies following its exit, which are matters to be negotiated. The outcomes may cause increased volatility and have a significant adverse impact on world financial markets, other
international trade agreements, and the United Kingdom and European economies, as well as the broader global economy for some time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. Typically, inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust (sometimes called a &#147;tender option bond
trust&#148;) formed by a third party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. See &#147;The Fund&#146;s Investments&#151;Portfolio Composition&#151;Municipal Securities&#151;Inverse Floating Rate Securities.&#148; In general, income on
inverse floating rate securities will decrease when interest rates increase and increase when interest rates decrease. Thus, distributions paid to the Fund on its inverse floaters will be reduced or even eliminated as short-term municipal interest
rates rise and will increase when short-term municipal rates fall. Inverse floating rate securities generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment. Investments in inverse floating rate
securities may subject the Fund to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of principal. In addition, because of the leveraged nature of such investments, inverse floating rate securities will increase or decrease in value at
a greater rate than the underlying fixed rate municipal bonds held by the tender option bond. As a result, the market value of such securities generally is more volatile than that of fixed rate securities. </FONT></P>

and/or (ii)&nbsp;to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the special purpose trust in the event that the municipal obligation held in the trust has declined in value. Such an agreement would require the Fund to reimburse the
third-party granting liquidity to the floating rate security holders the special purpose trust, upon termination of the trust issuing the inverse floater, the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal
amount due to the holders of floating rate interests. In such instances, the Fund may be at risk of loss that exceeds its investment in the inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

inverse floating rate securities are highly leveraged will vary based upon a number of factors, including the size of the trust itself and the terms of the underlying municipal security. In the event of a significant decline in the value of an
underlying security, the Fund may suffer losses in excess of the amount of its investment (up to an amount equal to the value of the municipal securities underlying the inverse floating rate securities) as a result of liquidating special purpose

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Fund with an agreement to repurchase the securities at an
agreed-upon price and date, thereby establishing an effective interest rate. The Fund&#146;s use of reverse repurchase agreements, in economic essence, constitute a secured borrowing by the Fund from the security purchaser. The Fund may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements for the purpose of creating a leveraged investment exposure and, as such, their usage involves essentially the same risks associated with a leveraging strategy generally since the proceeds from these agreements may be
invested in additional securities. However, the effective borrowing rate paid by the Fund to the reverse repurchase agreement counterparty will be treated as taxable income, unlike the effective borrowing rate paid by the Fund on Preferred Shares or
on inverse floating rate securities, which is generally tax-exempt to the recipient, meaning that the effective borrowing rate paid by the Fund on a reverse repurchase agreement would, all other things being equal, tend to be higher than those other
forms of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements tend to be short-term in tenor, and there can be no assurances that the purchaser (lender) will commit to extend or &#147;roll&#148; a given agreement upon its agreed-upon repurchase date if such roll
is requested by the Fund or an alternative purchaser can be identified on similar terms. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the purchaser (lender) fails to return the securities as agreed upon, files for bankruptcy or becomes
insolvent. The Fund may be restricted from taking normal portfolio actions during such time, could be subject to loss to the extent that the proceeds of the agreement are less than the value of securities subject to the agreement and may experience
adverse tax consequences. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Interest Rate Risk </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Generally, when market interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa. Interest rate risk is the risk that the municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in value because of
increases in market interest rates. As interest rates decline, issuers of municipal securities may prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities and potentially reducing the Fund&#146;s income. As
interest rates increase, slower than expected principal payments may extend the average life of securities, potentially locking in a below-market interest rate and reducing the Fund&#146;s value. In typical market interest rate environments, the
prices of longer-term municipal securities generally fluctuate more than prices of shorter-term municipal securities as interest rates change. In comparison to maturity (which is the date on which a debt instrument ceases and the issuer is obligated
to repay the principal amount), duration is a measure of the price volatility of a debt instrument as a result of changes in market rates of interest, based on the weighted average timing of the instrument&#146;s expected principal and interest
payments. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers a security&#146;s yield, coupon payments, principal payments and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security finally matures. As the value of a security changes
over time, so will its duration. Prices of securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. In general, a portfolio of securities with a longer duration can be expected to be
more sensitive to interest rate changes than a portfolio with a shorter duration. For </FONT></P>

example, the price of a bond with an effective duration of two years will rise (fall)&nbsp;two percent for every one percent decrease (increase) in its yield, and the price of a five-year
duration bond will rise (fall)&nbsp;five percent for a one percent decrease (increase) in its yield. Greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates typically corresponds to higher volatility and higher risk. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Yield curve risk is the risk associated with either a flattening or steepening of the yield curve, which is a result of changing yields
among comparable bonds with different maturities. When market interest rates, or yields, increase, the price of a bond will decrease and vice versa. When the yield curve shifts, the price of the bond, which was initially priced based on the initial
yield curve, will change in price. If the yield curve flattens, then the yield spread between long- and short-term interest rates narrows, and the price of the bond will change accordingly. If the bond is short-term and the yield decreases, the
price of this bond will increase. If the yield curve steepens, this means that the spread between long- and short-term interest rates increases. Therefore, long-term bond prices, like the ones held by the Fund, will decrease relative to short-term
bonds. Changes in the yield curve are based on bond risk premiums and expectations of future interest rates. Because the Fund will invest generally in longer-term municipal securities, the Common Share net asset value and market price per share will
fluctuate more in response to changes in market interest rates than if the Fund invested generally in shorter-term municipal securities. Because the values of lower-rated and comparable unrated debt securities are affected both by credit risk and
interest rate risk, the price movements of such lower grade securities typically have not been highly correlated to the fluctuations of the prices of investment grade quality securities in response to changes in market interest rates. The
Fund&#146;s use of leverage, as described herein, will tend to increase Common Share interest rate risk. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Leverage Risk </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of leverage creates special risks for common shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and
market price of, and distributions on, the Common Shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage. The use of leverage in a declining market will likely cause a greater decline in Common Share net asset value, which may result in a greater
decline of the Common Share price, than if the Fund were not to have used leverage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will pay (and common
shareholders will bear) any costs and expenses relating to the Fund&#146;s use of leverage, which will result in a reduction in the net asset value of and net income payable with respect to the Common Shares. Because of the costs of leverage, the
Fund may incur losses even if the Fund has positive returns if they are not sufficient to cover the costs of leverage. Nuveen Fund Advisors, based on its assessment of market conditions, may increase or decrease the Fund&#146;s level of leverage.
Such changes may impact the Fund&#146;s distributions and the valuation of the Common Shares in the secondary market. There is no assurance that the Fund will continue to utilize leverage or that the Fund&#146;s use of leverage will be successful.
Furthermore, the amount of fees paid to Nuveen Fund Advisors and NAM for investment advisory services will be higher if the Fund uses leverage because the fees will be calculated based on the Fund&#146;s Managed Assets, which may create an incentive
for Nuveen Fund Advisors to leverage the Fund or increase the Fund&#146;s leverage. Certain types of leverage used by the Fund may result in the Fund being subject to certain covenants, asset coverage or other portfolio composition limits by its
lenders, Preferred Share purchasers, liquidity providers, rating agencies that may rate the preferred securities, or reverse repurchase counterparties. Such limitations may be more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act and may affect whether
the Fund is able to maintain its desired amount of leverage. At this time, Nuveen Fund Advisors does not believe that any such potential investment limitations will impede it from managing the Fund&#146;s

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Investing in the municipal securities market involves certain risks. The municipal market is one in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and
during the 2008&#150;2009 market turmoil these firms&#146; capital was severely constrained. As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal securities. The amount of public
information available about the municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the Fund&#146;s investment performance may therefore be more dependent on the Investment
Adviser&#146;s and/or NAM&#146;s analytical abilities than if the Fund were to invest in stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities, particularly the below investment grade bonds in which the Fund may invest, also tends
to be less well-developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to sell its municipal securities at attractive prices or at prices approximating those at which the Fund currently values
them. Municipal securities may contain redemption provisions, which may allow the securities to be called or redeemed prior to their stated maturity, potentially resulting in the distribution of principal and a reduction in subsequent interest
distributions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The ability of municipal issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished during
general economic downturns and as governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local governments. In addition, laws enacted in the future by Congress or state legislatures or referenda could extend the time for payment of
principal and/or interest, or impose other constraints on enforcement of such obligations, or on the ability of municipalities to levy taxes. Issuers of municipal securities might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy
of such an issuer, the Fund could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and the Fund may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to which it is entitled. To enforce its rights in the event of a
default in the payment of interest or repayment of principal, or both, the Fund may take possession of and manage the assets securing the issuer&#146;s obligations on such securities, which may increase the Fund&#146;s operating expenses. Any income
derived from the Fund&#146;s ownership or operation of such assets may not be tax-exempt and may not be of the type that would allow the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes.

special risks in addition to those associated with municipal securities generally, including that the underlying properties may not generate sufficient income to pay expenses and interest costs. These bonds are generally non-recourse against the
property owner, may be junior to the rights of others with an interest in the properties, may pay interest that changes based in part on the financial performance of the property, may be prepayable without penalty and may be used to finance the
construction of housing developments which, until completed and rented, do not generate income to pay interest. Additionally, unusually high rates of default on the underlying mortgage loans may reduce revenues available for the payment of principal

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in municipal leases and certificates of participation in such leases. Municipal leases and certificates of
participation involve special risks not normally associated with general obligations or revenue bonds. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be
inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of &#147;non-appropriation&#148; clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for
such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event that the governmental issuer is prevented from maintaining
occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove
difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to fully recover the Fund&#146;s original investment. In the event of non-appropriation, the issuer would be in default and taking ownership of the assets
may be a remedy available to the Fund, although the Fund does not anticipate that such a remedy would normally be pursued. To the extent that the Fund invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality rating and
risk of cancellation of such unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. Certificates of participation, which represent interests in unmanaged pools of municipal leases or installment contracts, involve the same risks as the underlying
municipal leases. In addition, the Fund may be dependent upon the municipal authority issuing the certificate of participation to exercise remedies with respect to the underlying securities. Certificates of participation also entail a risk of
default or bankruptcy, both of the issuer of the municipal lease and also the municipal agency issuing the certificate of participation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

and illnesses which were settled between certain states and American tobacco companies. Tobacco settlement bonds are secured by an issuing state&#146;s proportionate share in the Master Settlement Agreement (the &#147;MSA&#148;). The MSA is an
agreement, reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and nearly all of the U.S.&nbsp;tobacco manufacturers. Under the terms of the MSA, the actual amount of future settlement payments by
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tobacco-manufacturers</FONT> is dependent on many factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, reduced cigarette consumption, increased taxes on cigarettes, inflation, financial
capability of tobacco companies, continuing litigation and the possibility of tobacco manufacturer bankruptcy. Payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be negatively impacted if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than
the forecasted decline. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Income Risk </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

addition, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in certain sectors of the municipal securities market, such as hospitals and other health care facilities, charter schools and other private educational facilities, special taxing
districts and start-up utility districts, and private activity bonds including industrial development bonds on behalf of transportation companies such as airline companies, whose credit quality and performance may be more susceptible to economic,
business, political, regulatory and other developments than other sectors of municipal issuers. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the sectors noted above, the Fund&#146;s performance may be subject to additional risk and
variability. To the extent that the Fund focuses its assets in the hospital and healthcare facilities sector, for example, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with such sector, including adverse government regulation and reduction in

activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, the use of swaps requires an understanding by NAM not only of the referenced asset, rate or index,
but also of the swap itself. If Nuveen Fund Advisors and/or NAM is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors or events, the investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it would
have been if these techniques were not used. As the protection seller in a credit default swap, the Fund effectively adds economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to being subject to investment exposure on its total net assets, the

floor, collar or other two-party contract with its particular counterparty, and generally may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. Because they are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven
days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. In addition, the price at which the Fund may close out such a two-party contract may not correlate with the price change in the underlying reference asset. Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of
loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but there can be no assurance that
the counterparty will be able to meet its contractual obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing its rights. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are certain risks associated with the use of financial futures and options to hedge investment portfolios. There may be an
imperfect correlation between price movements of the futures and options and price movements of the portfolio securities being hedged. Losses may be incurred in hedging transactions, which could reduce the portfolio gains that might have been
realized if the hedging transactions had not been entered into. If the Fund engages in futures transactions or in the writing of options on futures, it will be required to maintain initial margin and maintenance margin and may be required to make
daily variation margin payments in accordance with applicable rules of the exchanges and the CFTC. If the Fund purchases a financial futures contract or a call option or writes a put option in order to hedge the anticipated purchase of municipal
securities, and if the Fund fails to complete the anticipated purchase transaction, the Fund may have a loss or a gain on the futures or options transaction that will not be offset by price movements in the municipal securities that were the subject
of the anticipatory hedge. The cost of put options on debt securities or indexes effectively increases the cost of the securities subject to them, thereby reducing the yield otherwise available from these securities. If the Fund decides to use
futures contracts or options on futures contracts for hedging purposes, the Fund will be required to establish an account for such purposes with one or more CFTC-registered futures commission merchants. A futures commission merchant could establish
initial and maintenance margin requirements for the Fund that are greater than those which would otherwise apply to the Fund under applicable rules of the exchanges and the CFTC. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time
when the Fund seeks to close out a derivatives or futures or a futures option position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in
certain futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day&#146;s settlement price at the end of the current
trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a futures contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a particular trading day and
therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no
trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to substantial losses. </FONT></P>

received from customers with respect to any orders for the purchase or sale of U.S.&nbsp;domestic futures contracts and cleared swaps from the brokers&#146; proprietary assets. Similarly, the CEA requires each futures commission merchant to hold in
separate secure accounts all funds received from customers with respect to any orders for the purchase or sale of foreign futures contracts and cleared swaps and segregate any such funds from the funds received with respect to domestic futures
contracts. However, all funds and other property received by a clearing broker from its customers are held by the clearing broker on a commingled basis in an omnibus account and may be invested in certain instruments permitted under applicable
regulations. There is a risk that assets deposited by the Fund with any swaps or futures clearing broker as margin for futures contracts or cleared swaps may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund&#146;s
clearing broker. In addition, the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the Fund&#146;s clearing broker&#146;s bankruptcy, as the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro&nbsp;rata share of all available funds
segregated on behalf of the clearing broker&#146;s customers for the relevant account class. Similarly, the CEA requires a clearing organization approved by the CFTC as a derivatives clearing organization to segregate all funds and other property
received from a clearing member&#146;s clients in connection with domestic cleared derivative contracts from any funds held at the clearing organization to support the clearing member&#146;s proprietary trading. Nevertheless, all customer funds held
at a clearing organization in connection with any futures contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member&#146;s individual customers. All customer funds held at a clearing organization
with respect to cleared swaps of customers of a clearing broker are also held in an omnibus account, but CFTC rules require that the clearing broker notify the clearing organization of the amount of the initial margin provided by the clearing broker
to the clearing organization that is attributable to each customer. With respect to futures and options contracts, a clearing organization may use assets of a nondefaulting customer held in an omnibus account at the clearing organization to satisfy
payment obligations of a defaulting customer of the clearing member to the clearing organization. With respect to cleared swaps, a clearing organization generally cannot do so, but may do so if the clearing member does not provide accurate reporting

(&#147;RICs&#148;) under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund must, among other requirements, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain prescribed sources and satisfy a diversification test on a quarterly basis. If the
Fund fails to satisfy the qualifying income or diversification requirements in any taxable year, the Fund may be eligible for relief provisions if the failures are due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and if a penalty tax is paid with
respect to each failure to satisfy the applicable requirements. Additionally, relief is provided for certain de&nbsp;minimis failures of the diversification requirements where the Fund corrects the failure within a specified period. In order to be
eligible for the relief provisions with respect to a failure to meet the diversification requirements, the Fund may be required to dispose of certain assets. If these relief provisions were not available to the Fund and it were to fail to qualify
for treatment as a RIC for a taxable year, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates (which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced to 21%) without any deduction for distributions to
shareholders, and such distributions would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends, which are treated as items of interest excludable from gross income for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, at least 50% of the value of the total assets of

interest income from municipal securities is normally not subject to regular U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxation, the attractiveness of municipal securities in relation to other investment alternatives is affected by changes in U.S.&nbsp;federal
income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt status of interest income from municipal securities. Any proposed or actual changes in such rates or exempt status, therefore, can significantly affect the demand for and supply, liquidity and
marketability of municipal securities. This could in turn affect the Fund&#146;s net asset value and ability to acquire and dispose of municipal securities at desirable yield and price levels. Additionally, the Fund is not a suitable investment for
individual retirement accounts, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax consequences of their investments. </FONT></P>

secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of the companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of those securities. Certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
have incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced the
insurers&#146; capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating
of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the
value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. In such a case, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security would decline and may not add any value. The insurance feature of a municipal
security does not guarantee the full payment of principal and interest through the life of an insured obligation, the market value of the insured obligation or the net asset value of the Common Shares represented by such insured obligation.

proprietary information, suffer data corruption, lose operational capacity or fail to comply with applicable privacy and other laws. Among other potentially harmful effects, cyber incidents also may result in theft, unauthorized monitoring and

municipal securities are those whose ratings do not, in the Investment Adviser&#146;s opinion, reflect their true value. Municipal securities may be underrated because of the time that has elapsed since their rating was assigned or reviewed, or
because of positive factors that may not have been fully taken into account by NRSROs, or for other similar reasons. Municipal securities that are undervalued or that represent undervalued municipal market sectors are municipal securities that, in
the Investment Adviser&#146;s opinion, are worth more than the value assigned to them in the marketplace. Municipal securities of particular types or purposes (<I>e.g.</I>, hospital bonds, industrial revenue bonds or bonds issued by a particular
municipal issuer) may be undervalued because there is a temporary excess of supply in that market sector, or because of a general decline in the market price of municipal securities of the market sector for reasons that do not apply to the
particular municipal securities that are considered undervalued. The Fund&#146;s investment in underrated or undervalued municipal securities will be based on the Investment Adviser&#146;s belief that the prices of such municipal securities should
ultimately reflect their true value. Accordingly, &#147;enhancement of portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market&#148; refers to the Fund&#146;s objective of attempting to realize above-average capital appreciation in a rising market,
and to experience less than average capital losses in a declining market. Thus, the Fund&#146;s second investment objective is not intended to suggest that capital appreciation is itself an objective of the Fund. Instead, the Fund seeks enhancement
of portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market by prudent selection of municipal securities, regardless of which direction the market may move. Any capital appreciation realized by the Fund will generally result in the distribution of
taxable capital gains to holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares. The Fund is currently required to allocate net capital gains and ordinary income taxable for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, if any, proportionately between
Common Shares and Preferred Shares. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is a fundamental policy that, under normal circumstances,

default on its obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding (i.e. rated below C-, at the time of investment), provided, however, that NAM may determine that it is in the best interest of
shareholders in pursuing a workout arrangement with issuers of defaulted securities to make loans to the defaulted issuer or another party, or purchase a debt, equity or other interest from the defaulted issuer or another party, or take other

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s greater allocation to lower rated municipal securities is expected to result in meaningfully higher net earnings. However, investments in lower rated securities are subject to higher risks
than investments in higher rated securities, including a higher risk that the issuer will be unable to pay interest or principal when due. In addition, the Fund&#146;s greater allocation to lower rated municipal securities may have a negative effect
on one or more long-term ratings of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares. See &#147;Risk Factors&#148; for a discussion of the risks associated with an increased exposure to lower rated municipal securities and for a discussion of ratings risks.

securities rated Ba/BB or B are regarded as having current capacity to make principal and interest payments but are subject to business, financial or economic conditions which could adversely affect such payment capacity. Municipal securities rated
Baa or BBB are considered &#147;investment grade&#148; securities; municipal securities rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations which lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics, while municipal
securities rated BBB are regarded as having adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Municipal securities rated AAA in which the Fund may invest may have been so rated on the basis of the existence of insurance guaranteeing the timely
payment, when due, of all principal and interest. Municipal securities rated below investment grade quality are obligations of issuers that are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay
principal according to the terms of the obligation and, therefore, carry greater investment risk, including the possibility of issuer default and bankruptcy and increased market price volatility. Municipal securities rated below investment grade

market for them is less broad. The market for unrated municipal securities is even narrower. During periods of thin trading in these markets, the spread between bid and asked prices is likely to
increase significantly and the Fund may have greater difficulty selling its portfolio securities. The Fund will be more dependent on the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser&#146;s research and analysis when investing in these securities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing credit quality policy targets apply only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to
dispose of a security in the event that a NRSRO upgrades or downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issuer or that valuation changes of various municipal securities cause the Fund&#146;s portfolio to fail to satisfy
those targets. In determining whether to retain or sell such a security, the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser may consider such factors as the Investment Adviser&#146;s and/or the Sub-Adviser&#146;s assessment of the credit quality of the
issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to such security by other NRSROs. The ratings of S&amp;P Global Ratings, Moody&#146;s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. represent
their opinions as to the quality of the municipal securities they rate. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon and
rating may have different yields while obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have the same yield. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will invest primarily in municipal securities with long-term maturities in order to maintain an average effective maturity of 15 to 30&nbsp;years, including the effects of leverage, but the
average effective maturity of obligations held by the Fund may be lengthened or shortened as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, depending on market conditions and on an assessment by the
portfolio manager of which segments of the municipal securities markets offer the most favorable relative investment values and opportunities for tax-exempt income and total return. As a result, the Fund&#146;s portfolio at any given time may
include both long-term and intermediate-term municipal securities. Moreover, during temporary defensive periods (<I>e.g.</I>, times when, in the Investment Adviser&#146;s and/or the Sub-Adviser&#146;s opinion, temporary imbalances of supply and
demand or other temporary dislocations in the tax-exempt bond market adversely affect the price at which long-term or intermediate-term municipal securities are available), and in order to keep the Fund&#146;s cash fully invested, the Fund may
invest any percentage of its total assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term debt securities that may be either tax-exempt or taxable. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives during such periods. </FONT></P>

guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the obligation when due and does not guarantee the market value of the insured obligations, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer,

finance and refinance public projects, and other related securities and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from both regular federal income
taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals. Municipal securities are generally debt obligations issued by state and local governmental entities and may be issued by U.S.&nbsp;territories to finance or refinance public
projects such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal securities may also be issued for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility and
pollution control projects. Municipal securities may be issued on a long term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or
special tax, or any other revenue source including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal securities may also be issued to finance projects on a short term interim
basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds on long term debt. Municipal securities may be issued and purchased in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or non-callable; with payment forms
including fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships or other
investment companies. Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged investment in an underlying municipal
security, which may increase the leverage of the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in municipal bonds issued by United States

municipal securities depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing interest rates and the condition of the general money market and the municipal bond market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of

obligations and certificates of participation in such leases. These carry special risks because the issuer of the securities may not be obligated to appropriate money annually to make payments under the lease. A municipal lease is an obligation in
the form of a lease or installment purchase that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations generally is exempt from state and local taxes in the state of issuance. Leases and
installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without
meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of

of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and result in a delay in recovering, or the failure to recover fully, the Fund&#146;s original investment. To the extent that the Fund
invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality rating and risk of cancellation of such unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to reduce this risk, the Fund will only purchase municipal

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A certificate of participation represents an undivided interest in an unmanaged pool of municipal leases, an installment purchase agreement or other instruments. The certificates typically are issued by a
municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received an assignment of the payments to be made by the state or political subdivision under such leases or installment purchase agreements. Such certificates provide the Fund with the right to a
pro&nbsp;rata undivided interest in the underlying municipal securities. In addition, such participations generally provide the Fund with the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days&#146; notice, of all or any part of the Fund&#146;s

securities in the form of notes generally are used to provide for short-term capital needs, in anticipation of an issuer&#146;s receipt of other revenues or financing, and typically have maturities of up to three years. Such instruments may include
tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes and construction loan notes. Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance the working capital needs of governments. Generally, they are
issued in anticipation of various tax revenues, such as income, sales, property, use and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes. Revenue anticipation notes are issued in expectation of receipt of other kinds of revenue,
such as federal revenues available under federal revenue sharing programs. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term bond financing can be arranged. In most cases, the long-term bonds then provide the funds
needed for repayment of the bond anticipation notes. Tax and revenue anticipation notes combine the funding sources of both tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes. Construction loan notes are sold to provide construction financing.
Mortgage notes insured by the Federal Housing Authority secure these notes; however, the proceeds from the insurance may be less than the economic equivalent of the payment of principal and interest on the mortgage note if there has been a default.
The anticipated revenues from taxes, grants or bond financing generally secure the obligations of an issuer of municipal notes. An investment in such instruments, however, presents a risk that the anticipated revenues will not be received or that
such revenues will be insufficient to satisfy the issuer&#146;s payment obligations under the notes or that refinancing will be otherwise unavailable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or redemption by the issuer. For example, advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at
lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for the pre-refunded municipal securities. However, except for a change in the

funds to provide privately operated housing facilities, airport, mass transit or port facilities, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal or hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities and certain local facilities for water supply, gas or
electricity. Other types of private activity bonds, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute municipal securities, although the
current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of such issues. The Fund&#146;s distributions of its interest income from private activity bonds may subject certain investors to the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P>

securities whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. Generally, inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust, commonly referred
to as a &#147;tender option bond trust&#148; (&#147;TOB trust&#148;), that holds municipal bonds. The TOB trust typically sells two classes of beneficial interests or securities: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters
or tender option bonds (&#147;TOBs&#148;)), and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters). Both classes of beneficial interests are represented by certificates or receipts. The floating rate securities have first
priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the TOB trust. In this structure, the floating rate security holders have the option, at periodic short-term intervals, to tender their securities to the trust for purchase and to receive
the face value thereof plus accrued interest. The obligation of the trust to repurchase tendered securities is supported by a remarketing agent and by a liquidity provider. As consideration for providing this support, the remarketing agent and the
liquidity provider receive periodic fees. The holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rate. However, the trust is not obligated to purchase tendered
short-term floaters in the event of certain defaults with respect to the underlying municipal bonds or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the bond issuer. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As the holder of an inverse floating rate investment, the Fund receives the residual cash flow from the TOB trust. Because the holder of
the short-term floater is generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security plus accrued interest, the holder of the inverse floater assumes the interest rate cash flow risk and the market value risk associated with the municipal bond
deposited into the TOB trust. The volatility of the interest cash flow and the residual market value will vary with the degree to which the trust is leveraged. This is expressed in the ratio of the total face value of the short-term floaters to the
value of the inverse floaters that are issued by the TOB trust, and can exceed three times for more &#147;highly leveraged&#148; trusts. All voting rights and decisions to be made with respect to any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held
in the TOB trust are passed through, pro&nbsp;rata, to the holders of the short-term floaters and to the Fund as the holder of the associated inverse floaters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because any increases in the interest rate on the short-term floaters issued by a TOB trust would reduce the residual interest paid on the associated inverse floaters, and because fluctuations in the
value of the municipal bond deposited in the TOB trust would affect only the value of the inverse floater and not the value of the short-term floater issued by the trust so long as the value of the municipal bond held by the trust exceeded the face
amount of short-term floaters outstanding, the value of inverse floaters is generally more volatile than that of an otherwise comparable municipal bond held </FONT></P>

falling), but will tend to outperform the market of fixed-rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile in value and return, inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields higher than those
available on fixed-rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity or illiquidity based primarily upon the inverse floater holder&#146;s ability to sell the
underlying bonds deposited in the TOB trust at an attractive price. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities
issued by TOB trusts in which the liquidity providers have recourse to the Fund pursuant to a separate shortfall and forbearance agreement. Such an agreement would require the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider, among other circumstances, upon
termination of the TOB trust for the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal amount and accrued interest due to the holders of floating rate securities issued by the trust. The Fund will enter into
such a recourse agreement (1)&nbsp;when the liquidity provider requires such a recourse agreement because the level of leverage in the TOB trust exceeds the level that the liquidity provider is willing to support absent such an agreement; and/or
(2)&nbsp;to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the trust in the event the municipal bond held in the trust has declined in value to the point where it may cease to exceed the face amount of outstanding short-term floaters. In an
instance where the Fund has entered such a recourse agreement, the Fund may suffer a loss that exceeds the amount of its original investment in the inverse floating rate securities; such loss could be as great as that original investment amount plus
the face amount of the floating rate securities issued by the trust plus accrued interest thereon. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will segregate or

trusts. Floating rate securities may take the form of short-term floating rate securities or the option period may be substantially longer. Generally, the interest rate earned will be based upon the market rates for municipal securities with
maturities or remarketing provisions that are comparable in duration to the periodic interval of the tender option, which may vary from weekly, to monthly, to extended periods of one year or multiple years. Since the option feature has a shorter
term than the final maturity or first call date of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the Fund, as the holder of the floating rate securities, relies upon the terms of the agreement with the financial institution furnishing the option as
well as the credit strength of that institution. As further assurance of liquidity, the terms of the trust provide for a liquidation of the municipal bond deposited in the trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the floating rate
securities. The trusts that are organized to issue both short-term floating rate securities and inverse floaters generally include liquidation triggers to protect the investor in the floating rate securities. </FONT></P>

pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts or other derivative instruments.
Credit default swaps may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the default of a reference obligation. If the Fund is a seller of a contract, the Fund would
be required to pay the par (or other agreed upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event by the reference issuer, such as a municipal securities issuer, with respect to such debt
obligations. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and
would have no payment obligations. As the seller, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. If the Fund is a buyer of a contract, the Fund would have the right to deliver a referenced debt obligation and
receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of such debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event (such as a credit downgrade) by the reference issuer, such as a municipal securities issuer, with respect to
its debt obligations. In return, the Fund would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the counterparty would keep the stream of payments
and would have no further obligations to the Fund. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed-rate payments for floating rate
payments. The Fund will usually enter into interest rate swaps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as
the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">See &#147;The Fund&#146;s Investments&#151;Derivatives and Hedging

reference rate or index. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, e.g., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular

selling such interest rate floor. The purchase of an interest rate cap entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index rises above a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the

of the Fund&#146;s Common Shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates, the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, and could result in a decline in the net asset value of the Common Shares. In addition, if short-term
interest rates are lower than the Fund&#146;s fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will reduce Common Share net earnings. If, on the other hand, short-term interest rates are higher than the fixed rate of payment on the interest
rate swap, the swap will enhance Common Share net earnings. Buying interest rate caps could enhance the performance of the Common Shares by providing a maximum leverage expense. Buying interest rate caps could also decrease the net earnings of the
Common Shares in the event that the premium paid by the Fund to the counterparty exceeds the additional amount the Fund would have been required to pay had it not entered into the cap agreement. </FONT></P>

any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, bonds and defined baskets of loans and mortgages. The Fund might enter into a total return swap involving an underlying index or basket of securities to create
exposure to a potentially widely diversified range of securities in a single trade. An index total return swap can be used by the portfolio managers to assume risk, without the complications of buying the component securities from what may not

Fund may sell protection in an attempt to gain exposure to the credit quality characteristics of particular bonds or market segments without investing directly in those bonds or market segments. As the buyer of protection in a credit default swap,
the Fund would pay a premium (by means of an upfront payment or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement) in return for the right to deliver a referenced bond or group of bonds to the protection seller and receive the full
notional or par value (or other agreed upon value) upon a default (or similar event) by the issuer(s) of the underlying referenced obligation(s). If no default occurs, the protection seller would keep the stream of payments and would have no further
obligation to the Fund. Thus, the cost to the Fund would be the premium paid with respect to the agreement. If a credit event occurs, however, the Fund may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of

swap, cap, floor, collar or other&nbsp;two-party&nbsp;contract with its particular counterparty, and generally may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. In addition, the price at which the Fund may close out such two-party
contract may not correlate with the price change in the underlying reference asset. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but there can be no assurance that the counterparty will be able to meet its contractual
obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing its rights. It also is possible that developments in the derivatives market, including changes in government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to terminate existing swap
or other agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Futures and Options on Futures
Generally</I>.&nbsp;The Fund may attempt to hedge all or a portion of its investment portfolio against market risk by engaging in transactions in financial futures contracts, options on financial futures or options that either are based on an index
of long-term municipal securities (<I>i.e.</I>, those with average remaining maturities of more than 15 years) or relate to debt securities whose prices NAM anticipates to correlate with the prices of the municipal securities the Fund owns. To
accomplish such hedging, the Fund may take an investment position in a futures contract or in an option which is expected to move in the opposite direction from the position being hedged. Hedging may be utilized to reduce the risk that the value of
securities the Fund owns may decline on account of an increase in interest rates and to hedge against increases in the cost of the securities the Fund intends to purchase as a result of a decline in interest rates. The use of futures and options for
hedging purposes can be expected to result in taxable income or gain. The Fund currently intends to allocate any taxable income or gain proportionately between its Common Shares and its Preferred Shares. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; If futures
contracts are used for hedging purposes, there can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the futures contract and in the underlying financial instruments that are being hedged. This could result from differences
between the financial instruments being hedged and the financial instruments underlying the standard contracts available for trading (<I>e.g.</I>, differences in interest rate levels, maturities and the creditworthiness of issuers) among other
factors. In addition, price movements of futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with price movements of the financial instruments underlying the futures contracts due to certain market distortions. A futures contract is an agreement between
two parties to buy and sell a security, index or interest rate (each a &#147;financial instrument&#148;) for a set price on a future date. Certain futures contracts, such as futures contracts relating to individual securities, call for making or
taking delivery of the underlying financial instrument. However, these contracts generally are closed out before delivery by entering into an offsetting purchase or sale of a matching futures contract (same

exchange, underlying financial instrument, and delivery month). Other futures contracts, such as futures contracts on interest rates and indices, do not call for making or taking delivery of the
underlying financial instrument, but rather are agreements pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the financial instrument at the close of the last trading day
of the contract and the price at which the contract was originally written. These contracts also may be settled by entering into an offsetting futures contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Successful use of futures by the Fund also is subject to NAM&#146;s ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the relevant market. For example, if the Fund uses futures to hedge against
the possibility of a decline in the market value of securities held in its portfolio and the prices of such securities increase instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of the securities which it has hedged
because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. Furthermore, if in such circumstances the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. The Fund may have to sell such
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The sale of financial futures or the purchase of put options on financial futures or on debt securities or indexes is a means of hedging against the risk of rising interest rates, whereas
the purchase of financial futures or of call options on financial futures or on debt securities or indexes is a means of hedging the Fund&#146;s portfolio against an increase in the price of securities such Fund intends to purchase. Writing a call
option on a futures contract or on debt securities or indexes may serve as a hedge against a modest decline in prices of municipal securities held in the Fund&#146;s portfolio, and writing a put option on a futures contract or on debt securities or
indexes may serve as a partial hedge against an increase in the value of municipal securities the Fund intends to acquire. The writing of these options provides a hedge to the extent of the premium received in the writing transaction. The Fund may
not enter into a futures contract or related options or forward contracts if more than 30% of the Fund&#146;s net assets would be represented by futures contracts or more than 5% of the Fund&#146;s net assets would be committed to initial margin
deposits and premiums on futures contracts and related options. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Unlike when the Fund purchases or sells a security, no price
is paid or received by the Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, the Fund will be required to deposit with the futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (&#147;FCM&#148;), an amount of cash or securities equal
to a varying specified percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as initial margin. The margin deposit is intended to ensure completion of the contract. Minimum initial margin requirements are established by the futures exchanges and
may be revised. In addition, FCMs may establish margin deposit requirements that are higher than the exchange minimums. Cash held in the margin account generally is not income producing. However, coupon-bearing securities, such as Treasury
securities, held in margin accounts generally will earn income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subsequent payments to and from the FCM, called variation
margin, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying financial instrument fluctuates, making the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking the contract to market. Changes in variation margin are recorded by
the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position that will operate to terminate its position in the futures contract. A final
determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund, and the Fund realizes a gain or loss. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund,
the Fund may be entitled to the return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM&#146;s other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Futures transactions also involve

financial futures and options to hedge investment portfolios. There may be an imperfect correlation between price movements of the futures and options and price movements of the portfolio securities being hedged. Losses may be incurred in hedging
transactions, which could reduce the portfolio gains that might have been realized if the hedging transactions had not been entered into. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the Fund engages in futures transactions or in the writing of options on futures, it will be required to maintain initial margin and maintenance margin and may be required to make daily variation
margin payments in accordance with applicable rules of the exchanges and the CFTC. If the Fund purchases a financial futures contract or a call option or writes a put option in order to hedge the anticipated purchase of municipal securities, and if
the Fund fails to complete the anticipated purchase transaction, the Fund may have a loss or a gain on the futures or options transaction that will not be offset by price movements in the municipal securities that were the subject of the
anticipatory hedge. The cost of put options on debt securities or indexes effectively increases the cost of the securities subject to them, thereby reducing the yield otherwise available from these securities. If the Fund decides to use futures
contracts or options on futures contracts for hedging purposes, the Fund will be required to establish an account for such purposes with one or more CFTC-registered FCMs. An FCM could establish initial and maintenance margin requirements for the
Fund that are greater than those which would otherwise apply to the Fund under applicable rules of the exchanges and the CFTC. </FONT></P>

futures option position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract prices during a single trading day.
The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day&#146;s settlement price at the end of the current trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a
futures contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit
may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions
and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to substantial losses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Segregation of Assets </B></FONT></P>

issuance of Preferred Shares, investments in inverse floating rate securities, entering into reverse repurchase agreements (effectively a secured borrowing) and borrowings (subject to certain investment restrictions). See &#147;The Fund&#146;s

that have the economic effect of leverage by creating additional investment exposure. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund currently employs leverage
primarily through its outstanding VRDP Shares and MFP Shares, both Preferred Shares. As of September&nbsp;30, 2018, the Fund&#146;s leverage through Preferred Shares and through its investments in inverse floating rate securities was approximately
39% of its Managed Assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Preferred Shares have seniority over the Common Shares. Changes in the value of the
Fund&#146;s bond portfolio, including costs attributable to Preferred Shares, will be borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease (or increase) in the value of the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio, the leverage will decrease
(or increase) the net asset value per Common Share to a greater extent than if the Fund were not leveraged. For tax purposes, the Fund is currently required to allocate net capital gain and other taxable income, if any, between Common Shares and
Preferred Shares in proportion to total dividends paid to each class for the year in which the net capital gain or other taxable income is realized. If net capital gain or other taxable income is allocated to Preferred Shares (instead of solely
tax-exempt income), the Fund will likely have to pay higher total dividends to preferred shareholders or make special payments to preferred shareholders to compensate them for the increased tax liability. This would reduce the total amount of
dividends paid to the common shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may also borrow for temporary purposes permitted by the 1940 Act. The

investment of leverage proceeds will generate more net income than if the Fund had not used leverage. If so, the excess net income will be available to pay higher distributions to common shareholders. However, if the rate of net income received from
the Fund&#146;s portfolio investments purchased with leverage is less than the then current expense on outstanding leverage, the Fund may be required to utilize other Fund assets to make expense payments on outstanding leverage, which may result in

manage the interest rate expense associated with all or a portion of its leverage. Interest rate swaps are bi-lateral agreements whereby parties agree to exchange future payments, typically based upon the differential of a fixed rate and a variable
rate, on a specified notional amount. Interest rate swaps can enable a Fund to effectively convert its variable leverage expense to fixed, or vice versa. For example, if the Fund issues leverage having a short-term floating rate of interest, the
Fund could use interest rate swaps to hedge against a rise in the short-term benchmark interest rates associated with its outstanding leverage. In doing so, the Fund would seek to achieve lower leverage costs, and thereby enhance Common Share
distributions, over an extended period, which would be the result if short-term interest rates on average exceed the fixed interest rate over the term of the swap. To the extent the fixed swap rate is greater than short-term market interest rates on
average over the period, overall costs associated with leverage will increase (and thereby reduce distributions to common shareholders) than if the Fund had not entered into the interest rate swap(s). </FONT></P>

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations
of the Fund. However, the Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for debts or obligations of the Fund and requires that notice of such limited liability be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument
entered into or executed by the Fund or the trustees. The Declaration of Trust further provides for indemnification out of the assets and property of the Fund for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of
the Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations. The Fund believes that the likelihood of such circumstances
is remote. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Declaration of Trust and By-Laws include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons
to acquire control of the Fund or to convert the Fund to open-end status. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> require the Board be divided into three classes with staggered terms. This provision of the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board. Preferred shareholders, including MFP shareholders, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect two of the
Fund&#146;s trustees. In addition, the Declaration of Trust includes other provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or to convert the Fund to open-end status. Specifically, the Declaration
of Trust requires a vote by holders of at least two-thirds of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, voting together as a single class, except as described below, to authorize (1)&nbsp;a conversion of the Fund from a
closed-end to an open-end investment company, (2)&nbsp;a merger or consolidation of the Fund, or a series or class of the Fund, with any corporation, association, trust or other organization or a reorganization or recapitalization of the Fund, or a
series or class of the Fund, (3)&nbsp;a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Fund&#146;s assets (other than in the regular course of the Fund&#146;s investment activities), (4)&nbsp;in certain circumstances, a termination of
the Fund, or a series or class of the Fund, or (5)&nbsp;a removal of trustees (voting by class or classes of shares that elected such trustee) by shareholders, and then only for cause, unless, with respect to (1)&nbsp;through (4), such transaction
has already been authorized by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total number of trustees fixed in accordance with the Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws, in which case the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the
Fund&#146;s Common Shares and Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, voting together as a single class, is required; provided, however, that where only a particular class or series is affected, only the required vote by the applicable class or
series will be required. For purposes of the foregoing, the term &#147;recapitalization&#148; shall not mean, without limitation, the issuance or redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Trust or the statement
adopted with respect to such Preferred Shares, whether or not in conjunction with the issuance, retirement or redemption of other securities or indebtedness of the Fund. Approval of shareholders is not required, however, for any transaction, whether
deemed a merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise whereby the Fund issues shares in connection with the acquisition of assets (including those subject to liabilities) from any other investment company or similar entity. In the case of the
conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company, or in the case of any of the foregoing transactions constituting a plan of reorganization which adversely affects the holders of Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, the action in question
will also require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, outstanding at the time, voting as a separate class, or, if such action has been authorized by the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of the total number of trustees fixed in accordance with the Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, outstanding at

Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, are higher than those required by the 1940 Act. The Board believes that the provisions of the Declaration of Trust relating to such higher votes are in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Under
the Fund&#146;s By-Laws, the Board is divided into three classes and such a staggered board could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. Nothing in the Declaration of Trust, however, protects a trustee against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The provisions of the
Declaration of Trust described above could have the effect of depriving the shareholders of opportunities to sell their Common Shares at a premium over the then current market price of the Common Shares by discouraging a third party from seeking to
obtain control of the Fund in a tender offer or similar transaction. The overall effect of these provisions is to render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger or the assumption of control by a third party. They provide, however, the
advantage of potentially requiring persons seeking control of the Fund to negotiate with its management regarding the price to be paid and facilitating the continuity of the Fund&#146;s investment objectives and policies. The Board has considered
the foregoing anti-takeover provisions and concluded that they are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. </FONT></P>

shares. Instead, the Common Shares trade in the open market at prices that are a function of several factors, including Common Share dividend levels (which are in turn affected by expenses) in comparison to market rates for similar investments, net
asset value, call protection, dividend stability, portfolio credit quality, relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, general market and economic conditions and other factors. Because shares of closed-end investment companies may
frequently trade at prices lower than net asset value, the Board has currently determined that, at least annually, it will consider action that might be taken to reduce or eliminate any material discount from net asset value in respect of Common
Shares, which may include the repurchase of such shares in the open market or in private transactions, the making of a tender offer for such shares at net asset value, or the conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company. The Fund cannot

listed on the NYSE. In contrast to a closed-end investment company, shareholders of an open-end investment company may require the company to redeem their shares at any time (except in certain
circumstances as authorized by or under the 1940 Act) at their net asset value, less any redemption charge that is in effect at the time of redemption. In order to avoid maintaining large cash positions or liquidating favorable investments to meet
redemptions, open-end companies typically engage in a continuous offering of their shares. Open-end companies are thus subject to periodic asset in-flows and out-flows that can complicate portfolio management. As a result, conversion to open-end
status may require changes in the management of the Fund&#146;s portfolio in order to meet the liquidity requirements applicable to open-end funds. Because portfolio securities may have to be liquidated to meet redemptions, conversion could affect
the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objectives or to use certain investment policies and techniques described above. If converted to an open-end fund, the Fund expects to pay all redemptions in cash, but intends to reserve the right to
pay redemption requests in a combination of cash or securities. If such partial payment in securities were made, investors may incur brokerage costs in converting such securities to cash. If the Fund were converted to an open-end fund, new Common
Shares may be sold at net asset value plus a sales load. The Board may at any time propose conversion of the Fund to an open-end company depending upon their judgment as to the advisability of such action in light of circumstances then prevailing.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The repurchase by the Fund of its Common Shares at prices below net asset value will result in an increase in the net asset
value of those shares that remain outstanding. However, there can be no assurance that share repurchases or tenders at or below net asset value will result in the Common Shares trading at a price equal to their net asset value. Nevertheless, the
fact that the Common Shares may be the subject of repurchase or tender offers at net asset value from time to time, or that the Fund may be converted to an open-end company, may reduce any spread between market price and net asset value that might
otherwise exist. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, a purchase by the Fund of its Common Shares will decrease the Fund&#146;s total assets which
would likely have the effect of increasing the Fund&#146;s expense ratio. Any purchase by the Fund of its Common Shares at a time when Preferred Shares, including MFP Shares, are outstanding will increase the leverage applicable to the outstanding
Common Shares then remaining. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Before deciding whether to take any action if the Common Shares trade below net asset value,
the Board of Trustees would consider all relevant factors, including the extent and duration of the discount, the liquidity of the Fund&#146;s portfolio, the impact of any action that might be taken on the Fund or its shareholders, and market
considerations. Based on these considerations, even if the Common Shares should trade at a discount, the Board may determine that, in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders, no action should be taken. On August&nbsp;7, 2018, the Fund&#146;s
Board renewed the Fund&#146;s open market share repurchase program under which the Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its Common Shares. Since the inception of the Fund&#146;s share repurchase program through April&nbsp;30, 2018, the Fund has
repurchased 19,300 Common Shares under the program. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="toc659040_16"></A>TAX MATTERS </B></FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The recently enacted tax legislation commonly referred to as Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the
&#147;Tax Act&#148;) makes significant changes to the U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax rules for taxation of individuals and corporations, generally effective for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. Many of the changes applicable to
individuals are temporary and would apply only to taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017 and before January&nbsp;1, 2026. There are only minor changes with respect to the specific rules only applicable to a RIC, such as the Fund. The
Tax Act, however, makes numerous other changes to the tax rules that may affect shareholders and the Fund. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding how the Tax Act affects your investment in the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund has elected and intends to qualify each year as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for treatment as a
RIC, the Fund must satisfy certain requirements regarding the sources of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. As a RIC, the Fund is not expected to be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax. The Fund
primarily invests in municipal securities (as defined above) issued by states, cities and local authorities and certain possessions and territories of the United States (such as Puerto Rico or Guam) or municipal securities whose income is otherwise
exempt from regular U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxes. To qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends, which are treated as items of interest excludable from gross income for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, at least 50% of the value of the total
assets of the Fund must consist of obligations exempt from regular income tax as of the close of each quarter of the Fund&#146;s taxable year. If the proportion of taxable investments held by the Fund exceeds 50% of the Fund&#146;s total assets as
of the close of any quarter of any Fund taxable year, the Fund would not for that taxable year satisfy the general eligibility test that would otherwise permit it to pay exempt-interest dividends. Substantially all of the Fund&#146;s dividends paid
to you are expected to qualify as &#147;exempt-interest dividends,&#148; which are exempt from regular U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax. The Fund does not intend to acquire securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
applicable to individuals. The Tax Act repealed the federal alternative minimum tax for corporations for tax years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The exemption from U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax for exempt-interest dividends does not necessarily result in exemption for such dividends under the income or other tax laws of any state or local taxing
authority. Some states exempt from state income tax that portion of any exempt-interest dividend that is derived from interest received by a RIC on its holdings of securities of that state and its political subdivisions and instrumentalities.
Therefore, the Fund will report annually to its shareholders the percentage of interest income earned by the fund during the preceding year on tax-exempt obligations indicating, on a state-by-state basis, the source of such income. Shareholders of
the Fund are advised to consult with their own tax advisers about state and local tax matters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to exempt-interest
dividends, the Fund may also distribute to its shareholders amounts that are treated as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-term</FONT> capital gain or ordinary income (which may include short-term capital gains). These distributions are generally
subject to regular U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax, whether or not reinvested in additional shares. Capital gain distributions are generally taxable at rates applicable to long-term capital gains regardless of how long a shareholder has held its
shares. Long-term capital gains are taxable to non-corporate shareholders at rates of up to 20%. The Fund does not expect that any part of its distributions to shareholders from its investments will qualify for the dividends-received deduction
available to corporate shareholders or as &#147;qualified dividend income,&#148; which is taxable to non-corporate shareholders at reduced maximum U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax rates. </FONT></P>

income of a shareholder who is an individual and not a nonresident alien for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes and who has adjusted gross income (subject to certain adjustments) that exceeds a threshold amount ($250,000 if married filing jointly
or if considered a &#147;surviving spouse&#148; for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, $125,000 if married filing separately, and $200,000 in other cases). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income
of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts. For these purposes, interest, dividends and certain capital gains are generally taken into account in computing a shareholder&#146;s net investment income, but exempt-interest dividends are not
taken into account. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax in any taxable year provided that
it meets certain requirements. The Fund might not distribute some (or all) of its net capital gain. If the Fund does not distribute all of its net capital gain and net investment income, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates on the
amount retained. If the Fund retains any net capital gain, it may designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its shareholders who, if subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax on long-term capital gains, (i)&nbsp;will
be required to include in income for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-term</FONT> capital gain, their share of such undistributed amount; (ii)&nbsp;will be deemed to have paid their proportionate shares
of the tax paid by the Fund on such undistributed amount and will be entitled to credit that amount of tax against their U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax liabilities, if any; and (iii)&nbsp;will be entitled to claim refunds to the extent the credit
exceeds such liabilities. For U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of shares owned by a shareholder of the Fund will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the
shareholder&#146;s gross income and the tax deemed paid by the shareholder. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Internal Revenue Service (the
&#147;IRS&#148;) currently requires that a RIC that has two or more classes of stock allocate to each such class proportionate amounts of each type of its income (such as exempt interest, ordinary income and capital gains). Accordingly, the Fund
reports dividends made with respect to Common Shares and Preferred Shares as consisting of particular types of income (<I>e.g.</I>, exempt interest, net capital gains and ordinary income) in accordance with each class&#146; proportionate share of
the total dividends paid by the Fund with respect to the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dividends declared by the Fund in October, November or

interest income. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the rates applicable to ordinary income. For <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayers, however, long-term capital gains are
currently taxed at rates of up to 20%. Short-term capital gains and other ordinary income are taxed to non-corporate taxpayers at ordinary income rates. If a shareholder sells or otherwise disposes of Securities before holding them for six months,

addition, if you receive social security or certain railroad retirement benefits, you may be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax on a portion of such benefits as a result of receiving investment income, including exempt-interest dividends and

required certifications, or if the shareholder has been notified by the IRS that he or she is subject to backup withholding. The backup withholding rate is 24%. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, it is a way in which the IRS

special tax counsel that the Preferred Shares will constitute equity of the Fund, and the foregoing discussion relies on the position that the Preferred Shares will constitute equity of the Fund. Accordingly, distributions with respect to the
Preferred Shares (other than distributions in redemption of Preferred Shares subject to Section&nbsp;302(b) of the Code) will generally constitute dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated
for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes and to the extent allocable to such distribution. Because the treatment of a corporate security as debt or equity is determined on the basis of the facts and circumstances of each case, and no controlling
precedent exists for the Preferred Shares, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question special tax counsel&#146;s opinion and the Fund&#146;s treatment of the Preferred Shares as equity. If the IRS were to succeed in such a challenge,
holders of Preferred Shares could be characterized as receiving taxable interest income rather than exempt-interest or other dividends, possibly requiring them to file amended income tax returns and retroactively to recognize additional amounts of

municipal securities are those whose ratings do not, in the Investment Adviser&#146;s opinion, reflect their true value. Municipal securities may be underrated because of the time that has elapsed since their rating was assigned or reviewed, or
because of positive factors that may not have been fully taken into account by NRSROs, or for other similar reasons. Municipal securities that are undervalued or that represent undervalued municipal market sectors are municipal securities that, in
the Investment Adviser&#146;s opinion, are worth more than the value assigned to them in the marketplace. Municipal securities of particular types or purposes (<I>e.g.</I>, hospital bonds, industrial revenue bonds or bonds issued by a particular
municipal issuer) may be undervalued because there is a temporary excess of supply in that market sector, or because of a general decline in the market price of municipal securities of the market sector for reasons that do not apply to the
particular municipal securities that are considered undervalued. The Fund&#146;s investment in underrated or undervalued municipal securities will be based on the Investment Adviser&#146;s belief that the prices of such municipal securities should
ultimately reflect their true value. Accordingly, &#147;enhancement of portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market&#148; refers to the Fund&#146;s objective of attempting to realize above-average capital appreciation in a rising market,
and to experience less than average capital losses in a declining market. Thus, the Fund&#146;s second investment objective is not intended to suggest that capital appreciation is itself an objective of the Fund. Instead, the Fund seeks enhancement
of portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market by prudent selection of municipal securities, regardless of which direction the market may move. Any capital appreciation realized by the Fund will generally result in the distribution of
taxable capital gains to holders of Common Shares and holders of preferred shares of the Fund (&#147;Preferred Shares&#148;). The Fund is currently required to allocate net capital gains and ordinary income taxable for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax
purposes, if any, proportionately between Common Shares and Preferred Shares. See &#147;Tax Matters&#148; in the prospectus. </FONT></P>

Total assets for this purpose shall include assets attributable to the Fund&#146;s use of leverage (whether or not those assets are reflected in the Fund&#146;s financial statements for purposes of generally accepted accounting principles), and

includes below-investment-grade securities or unrated securities judged to be of comparable quality by NAM. The Fund may invest in distressed securities. The Fund may not invest in the securities of an issuer which, at the time of investment, is in
default on its obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding (i.e. rated below C-, at the time of investment), provided, however, that NAM may determine that it is in the best interest of
shareholders in pursuing a workout arrangement with issuers of defaulted securities to make loans to the defaulted issuer or another party, or purchase a debt, equity or other interest from the defaulted issuer or another party, or take other
related or similar steps involving the investment of additional monies, but only if that issuer&#146;s securities are already held by the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s greater allocation to lower rated municipal securities is expected to result in meaningfully higher net earnings. However, investments in lower rated securities are subject to higher risks
than investments in higher rated securities, including a higher risk that the issuer will be unable to pay interest or principal when due. In addition, the Fund&#146;s greater allocation to lower rated municipal securities may have a negative effect
on one or more long-term ratings of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares. See &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an increased exposure to lower rated municipal securities and for a discussion of
ratings risks. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Securities of below investment grade quality (Ba/BB or below) are commonly referred to as &#147;junk
bonds.&#148; Issuers of securities rated Ba/BB or B are regarded as having current capacity to make principal and interest payments but are subject to business, financial or economic conditions which could adversely affect such payment capacity.
Municipal securities rated Baa or BBB are considered &#147;investment grade&#148; securities; municipal securities rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations which lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative
characteristics, while municipal securities rated BBB are regarded as having adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Municipal securities rated AAA in which the Fund may invest may have been so rated on the basis of the existence of
insurance guaranteeing the timely payment, when due, of all principal and interest. Municipal securities rated below investment grade quality are obligations of issuers that are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer&#146;s
capacity to pay interest and repay principal according to the terms of the obligation and, therefore, carry greater investment risk, including the possibility of issuer default and bankruptcy and increased market price volatility. Municipal

market for them is less broad. The market for unrated municipal securities is even narrower. During periods of thin trading in these markets, the spread between bid and asked prices is likely to
increase significantly and the Fund may have greater difficulty selling its portfolio securities. The Fund will be more dependent on the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser&#146;s research and analysis when investing in these securities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing credit quality policy targets apply only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to
dispose of a security in the event that a NRSRO upgrades or downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issuer or that valuation changes of various municipal securities cause the Fund&#146;s portfolio to fail to satisfy
those targets. In determining whether to retain or sell such a security, the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser may consider such factors as the Investment Adviser&#146;s and/or the Sub-Adviser&#146;s assessment of the credit quality of the
issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to such security by other NRSROs. The ratings of S&amp;P Global Ratings, Moody&#146;s Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. represent
their opinions as to the quality of the municipal securities they rate. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon and
rating may have different yields while obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have the same yield. See &#147;Appendix A&#151;Ratings of Investments&#148; for additional information about NRSRO ratings. </FONT></P>

to 30&nbsp;years, including the effects of leverage, but the average effective maturity of obligations held by the Fund may be lengthened or shortened as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser,
depending on market conditions and on an assessment by the portfolio manager of which segments of the municipal securities markets offer the most favorable relative investment values and opportunities for tax-exempt income and total return. As a
result, the Fund&#146;s portfolio at any given time may include both long-term and intermediate-term municipal securities. Moreover, during temporary defensive periods (<I>e.g.</I>, times when, in the Investment Adviser&#146;s and/or the
Sub-Adviser&#146;s opinion, temporary imbalances of supply and demand or other temporary dislocations in the tax-exempt bond market adversely affect the price at which long-term or intermediate-term municipal securities are available), and in order
to keep the Fund&#146;s cash fully invested, the Fund may invest any percentage of its total assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term debt securities that may be either tax-exempt or taxable. The Fund may not achieve its
investment objectives during such periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest up to 15% of its Managed Assets in inverse floating rate

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may purchase municipal securities that are additionally secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of companies which provide such credit enhancements may
affect the value of those securities. Although the insurance feature may reduce certain financial risks, the premiums for insurance and the higher market price paid for insured obligations may reduce the Fund&#146;s income. The insurance feature
guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the obligation when due and does not guarantee the market value of the insured obligations, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer,
and the effectiveness and value of the insurance itself is dependent on the continued creditworthiness of the insurer. No representation is made as to the insurers&#146; ability to meet their commitments. </FONT></P>

payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of such obligations or upon municipalities to levy taxes. There is also the possibility that, as a result of legislation or other conditions, the power or

regular federal income taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals. Municipal securities are generally debt obligations issued by state and local governmental entities and may be issued by U.S.&nbsp;territories to finance
or refinance public projects such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal securities may also be issued for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation,
electric utility and pollution control projects. Municipal securities may be issued on a long-term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the
issuer, a limited or special tax, or any other revenue source including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal securities may also be issued to finance projects on a
short-term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds on long term debt. Municipal securities may be issued and purchased in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or non-callable; with
payment forms including fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships or
other investment companies. Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged investment in an underlying

involving tobacco related deaths and illnesses which were settled between certain states and American tobacco companies. Tobacco settlement bonds are secured by an issuing state&#146;s
proportionate share in the Master Settlement Agreement (&#147;MSA&#148;). The MSA is an agreement, reached out of court in November 1998 between 46&nbsp;states and nearly all of the U.S. tobacco manufacturers. The MSA provides for annual payments in
perpetuity by the manufacturers to the states in exchange for releasing all claims against the manufacturers and a pledge of no further litigation. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share, and each state
receives a fixed percentage of the payment as set forth in the MSA. A number of states have securitized the future flow of those payments by selling bonds pursuant to indentures or through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The
principal and interest payments on the bonds are backed by the future revenue flow related to the MSA. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments to the state or its
governmental entity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The actual amount of future settlement payments is further dependent on many factors, including, but not
limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, reduced cigarette consumption, increased taxes on cigarettes, inflation, financial capability of tobacco companies, continuing litigation and the possibility of tobacco manufacturer bankruptcy. The
initial and annual payments made by the tobacco companies will be adjusted based on a number of factors, the most important of which is domestic cigarette consumption. If the volume of cigarettes shipped in the U.S. by manufacturers participating in
the settlement decreases significantly, payments due from them will also decrease. Demand for cigarettes in the U.S. could continue to decline due to price increases needed to recoup the cost of payments by tobacco companies. Demand could also be
affected by: anti-smoking campaigns, tax increases, reduced advertising, enforcement of laws prohibiting sales to minors; elimination of certain sales venues such as vending machines; and the spread of local ordinances restricting smoking in public
places. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be negatively impacted if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA companies
to&nbsp;non-MSA&nbsp;participating tobacco manufacturers would cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been
subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Leases and Certificates of
Participation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>The Fund also may purchase municipal securities that represent lease obligations and certificates of participation in such leases. These carry special risks because the issuer of the securities may not be
obligated to appropriate money annually to make payments under the lease. A municipal lease is an obligation in the form of a lease or installment purchase that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income
from such obligations generally is exempt from state and local taxes in the state of issuance. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental
issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of
the inclusion in many leases or contracts of &#147;non-appropriation&#148; clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the
appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or
utilizing the leased equipment or facilities. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and

costly, and result in a delay in recovering, or the failure to recover fully, the Fund&#146;s original investment. To the extent that the Fund invests in unrated municipal leases or participates
in such leases, the credit quality rating and risk of cancellation of such unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to reduce this risk, the Fund will only purchase municipal securities representing lease obligations where the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A certificate of participation represents an undivided interest in an unmanaged pool of municipal leases, an installment purchase agreement or other instruments. The certificates typically are issued by a
municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received an assignment of the payments to be made by the state or political subdivision under such leases or installment purchase agreements. Such certificates provide the Fund with the right to a
pro&nbsp;rata undivided interest in the underlying municipal securities. In addition, such participations generally provide the Fund with the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days&#146; notice, of all or any part of the Fund&#146;s
participation interest in the underlying municipal securities, plus accrued interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal
Notes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>Municipal securities in the form of notes generally are used to provide for short-term capital needs, in anticipation of an issuer&#146;s receipt of other revenues or financing, and typically have maturities of up
to three years. Such instruments may include tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes and construction loan notes. Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance the working
capital needs of governments. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various tax revenues, such as income, sales, property, use and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes. Revenue anticipation notes are issued in
expectation of receipt of other kinds of revenue, such as federal revenues available under federal revenue sharing programs. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term bond financing can be arranged. In most
cases, the long-term bonds then provide the funds needed for repayment of the bond anticipation notes. Tax and revenue anticipation notes combine the funding sources of both tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes. Construction loan
notes are sold to provide construction financing. Mortgage notes insured by the Federal Housing Authority secure these notes; however, the proceeds from the insurance may be less than the economic equivalent of the payment of principal and interest
on the mortgage note if there has been a default. The anticipated revenues from taxes, grants or bond financing generally secure the obligations of an issuer of municipal notes. An investment in such instruments, however, presents a risk that the
anticipated revenues will not be received or that such revenues will be insufficient to satisfy the issuer&#146;s payment obligations under the notes or that refinancing will be otherwise unavailable. </FONT></P>

no longer paid from the original revenue source for the securities. Instead, the source of such payments is typically an escrow fund consisting of U.S.&nbsp;government securities. The assets in the escrow fund are derived from the proceeds of
refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the pre-refunded municipal securities. Issuers of municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or
redemption by the issuer. For example, advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for
the pre-refunded municipal securities. However, except for a change in the revenue source from which principal and interest payments are made, the pre-refunded municipal securities remain outstanding on their original terms until they mature or are
redeemed by the issuer. </FONT></P>

or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to provide privately operated housing facilities, airport, mass transit or port facilities, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal or hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities and certain
local facilities for water supply, gas or electricity. Other types of private activity bonds, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may

inverse floating rate securities. Inverse floating rate securities are securities whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. Generally, inverse floating rate securities
represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust, commonly referred to as a &#147;tender option bond trust&#148; (&#147;TOB trust&#148;), that holds municipal bonds. The TOB trust typically sells two classes of beneficial interests or
securities: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender option bonds (&#147;TOBs&#148;)), and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters). Both classes of beneficial interests are
represented by certificates or receipts. The floating rate securities have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the TOB trust. In this structure, the floating rate security holders have the option, at periodic short-term
intervals, to tender their securities to the trust for purchase and to receive the face value thereof plus accrued interest. The obligation of the trust to repurchase tendered securities is supported by a remarketing agent and by a liquidity
provider. As consideration for providing this support, the remarketing agent and the liquidity provider receive periodic fees. The holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing
short-term, tax-exempt rate. However, the trust is not obligated to purchase tendered short-term floaters in the event of certain defaults with respect to the underlying municipal bonds or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the
bond issuer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As the holder of an inverse floating rate investment, the Fund receives the residual cash flow from the TOB
trust. Because the holder of the short-term floater is generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security plus accrued interest, the holder of the inverse floater assumes the interest rate cash flow risk and the market value risk
associated with the municipal bond deposited into the TOB trust. The volatility of the interest cash flow and the residual market value will vary with the degree to which the trust is leveraged. This is expressed in the ratio of the total face value
of the short-term floaters to the value of the inverse floaters that are issued by the TOB trust, and can exceed three times for more &#147;highly leveraged&#148; trusts. All voting rights and decisions to be made with respect to any other rights
relating to the municipal bonds held in the TOB trust are passed through, pro&nbsp;rata, to the holders of the short-term floaters and to the Fund as the holder of the associated inverse floaters. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because any increases in the interest rate on the short-term floaters issued by a TOB trust would reduce the residual interest paid on
the associated inverse floaters, and because fluctuations in the value of the municipal bond deposited in the TOB trust would affect only the value of the inverse floater and not the value of the short-term floater issued by the trust so long as the
value of the municipal bond held by the trust exceeded the face amount of short-term floaters outstanding, the value of inverse floaters is generally more volatile than that of an otherwise comparable municipal bond held on an unleveraged basis
outside a TOB trust. Inverse floaters generally will underperform the market of fixed-rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment (<I>i.e.</I>, when bond values are falling), but will tend to outperform the market of fixed-rate bonds when
interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile in value and return, inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields </FONT></P>

higher than those available on fixed-rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity or illiquidity based
primarily upon the inverse floater holder&#146;s ability to sell the underlying bonds deposited in the TOB trust at an attractive price. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities issued by TOB trusts in which the liquidity providers have recourse to the Fund pursuant to a separate shortfall and forbearance agreement. Such an
agreement would require the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider, among other circumstances, upon termination of the TOB trust for the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal amount and accrued
interest due to the holders of floating rate securities issued by the trust. The Fund will enter into such a recourse agreement (1)&nbsp;when the liquidity provider requires such a recourse agreement because the level of leverage in the TOB trust
exceeds the level that the liquidity provider is willing to support absent such an agreement; and/or (2)&nbsp;to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the trust in the event the municipal bond held in the trust has declined in value

periods of one year or multiple years. Since the option feature has a shorter term than the final maturity or first call date of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the Fund, as the holder of the floating rate securities, relies upon the
terms of the agreement with the financial institution furnishing the option as well as the credit strength of that institution. As further assurance of liquidity, the terms of the trust provide for a liquidation of the municipal bond deposited in
the trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the floating rate securities. The trusts that are organized to issue both short-term floating rate securities and inverse floaters generally include liquidation triggers to protect the

non-standardized derivatives, which tend to be more specialized and complex, trade in &#147;over-the-counter&#148; (&#147;OTC&#148;) or a one-on-one basis. It may be desirable and possible in various market environments to partially hedge the
portfolio against fluctuations in market value due to market interest rate or credit quality fluctuations, or instead to gain a desired investment exposure, by entering into various types of derivative transactions, including financial futures and
index futures as well as related put and call options on such instruments, structured notes, or interest rate swaps on taxable or tax-exempt securities or indexes (which may be &#147;forward-starting&#148;), credit default swaps, and options on

addition, futures and options markets may not be liquid in all circumstances. As a result, in volatile markets, the Fund may not be able to close out the transaction without incurring losses substantially greater than the initial deposit. Finally,
the potential deposit requirements in futures contracts create an ongoing greater potential financial risk than do options transactions, where the exposure is limited to the cost of the initial premium. Losses due to hedging transactions will reduce
yield. The Fund will invest in these instruments only in markets believed by the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser to be active and sufficiently liquid. Net gains, if any, from hedging and other portfolio transactions will be distributed as
taxable distributions to shareholders. These hedging strategies may generate taxable income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Investment Adviser and/or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Swap agreements typically are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks
to several years. In a standard &#147;swap&#148; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be
exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount&#148; (<I>e.g.</I>, the change in the value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a &#147;basket&#148;

for calculating the obligations that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. Under most swap agreements entered into by the Fund, the obligations of the parties would be exchanged on a &#147;net basis.&#148; Consequently, the
Fund&#146;s obligation (or rights) under a net swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement. See

banking firms acting as both principals and agents using standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid. However, swap agreements may still be subject to liquidity risk, which exists when a particular swap
is difficult to purchase or sell. If a swap transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in
significant losses. Caps, floors and collars are more recent innovations for which standardized documentation has not been fully developed and, accordingly, swaps with these features are less liquid. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;) sets forth a regulatory framework for
certain derivatives, such as swaps, in which the Fund may be authorized to invest. The Dodd-Frank Act requires many swap transactions to be executed on registered exchanges or through swap execution facilities, cleared through a regulated
clearinghouse and publicly reported. In addition, many market participants are now regulated as swap dealers or major swap participants and are subject to required business conduct standards and other regulatory burdens, and will be subject to
minimum capital requirements upon the adoption of final capital rules. The statutory requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act have been implemented primarily through rules and regulations adopted by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(the &#147;CFTC&#148;). The CFTC is responsible for the regulation of most swaps, and has completed most of its rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Act swap regulations. The SEC has jurisdiction over a small segment of the market referred to as
&#147;security-based swaps,&#148; which includes swaps on single securities or credits, or narrow-based indices of securities or credits, but has not yet completed its rulemaking. </FONT></P>

member on its obligations to the clearinghouse, triggered by a customer&#146;s failure to meet its obligations to the clearing member. In addition, the CFTC and bank regulators have imposed new
margin requirements on uncleared OTC swaps that could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to enter into swaps in the OTC market. The SEC is expected to adopt similar margin requirements for uncleared security-based swaps. These requirements may
increase the amount of collateral the Fund is required to provide and the costs associated with providing it. These developments could cause the Fund to terminate new or existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such
instruments at an inopportune time. Until the mandated rulemaking and regulations are implemented completely, it will not be possible to determine the complete impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations on the Fund, and the establishment
of centralized clearinghouses and trading facilities for swap transactions may not result in swaps being easier to value or trade. However, it is expected that swap dealers, major market participants and swap counterparties will experience other new
and/or additional regulations, requirements, compliance burdens and associated costs, and that such costs will be passed on to customers such as the Fund. The rules that have been and will be promulgated may exert a negative effect on the
Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objectives, either through limits or requirements imposed on the Fund or its counterparties. The swap market could be disrupted or limited as a result of the new requirements, which may increase the cost of
the Fund&#146;s investments and of doing business, which could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to buy or sell derivatives. The overall impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Fund remains highly uncertain and it is unclear how the swap markets
will adapt to this new regulatory regime, along with additional, sometimes overlapping, regulatory requirements imposed by non-U.S. regulators. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

Fund&#146;s use of interest rate swaps or caps could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Common Shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates, the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, and could result in a
decline in the net asset value of the Common Shares. In addition, if short-term interest rates are lower than the Fund&#146;s fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will reduce Common Share net earnings. If, on the other hand,
short-term interest rates are higher than the fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will enhance Common Share net earnings. Buying interest rate caps could enhance the performance of the Common Shares by providing a maximum
leverage expense. Buying interest rate caps could also decrease the net earnings of the Common Shares in the event that the premium paid by the Fund to the counterparty exceeds the additional amount the Fund would have been required to pay had it
not entered into the cap agreement. </FONT></P>

may be applied to any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, bonds and defined baskets of loans and mortgages. The Fund might enter into a total return swap involving an underlying index or basket of

individual security or a segment of the fixed income securities market to which it has exposure, or to take a &#147;short&#148; position in individual bonds or market segments which it does not own. The Fund may sell protection in an attempt to gain

the notional amount of the swap. The Fund generally may only close out a swap, cap, floor, collar or other two-party contract with its particular counterparty, and generally may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. In
addition, the price at which the Fund may close out such a two-party contract may not correlate with the price change in the underlying reference asset. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but there can be no
assurance that the counterparty will be able to meet its contractual obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing its rights. It also is possible that developments in the derivatives market, including changes in government regulation,
could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to terminate existing swap or other agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

are closed out before delivery by entering into an offsetting purchase or sale of a matching futures contract (same exchange, underlying financial instrument, and delivery month). Other futures contracts, such as futures contracts on interest rates
and indices, do not call for making or taking delivery of the underlying financial instrument, but rather are agreements pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of
the financial instrument at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the contract was originally written. These contracts also may be settled by entering into an offsetting futures contract. </FONT></P>

underlying financial instrument fluctuates, making the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking the contract to market. Changes in variation margin are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. At any time prior
to expiration of the futures contract, the Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position that will operate to terminate its position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional
cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund, and the Fund realizes a gain or loss. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund, the Fund may be entitled to the return of margin owed to it
only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM&#146;s other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Futures transactions also involve brokerage costs and the Fund may have to segregate additional liquid assets in accordance

those exemptions, from registration as a commodity pool operator. Under amendments to the exemption provided under CFTC Regulation 4.5, if the Fund uses futures, options on futures, or swaps other than for bona&nbsp;fide hedging purposes (as defined
by the CFTC), the aggregate initial margin and premiums on these positions (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions and excluding the amount by which options that are &#147;in-the-money&#148; at the
time of purchase are &#147;in-the-money&#148;) may not exceed 5% of the Fund&#146;s net asset value, or alternatively, the aggregate net notional value of those positions may not exceed 100% of the Fund&#146;s net asset value (after taking into
account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions). The CFTC amendments to Regulation 4.5 took effect on December&nbsp;31, 2012, and the Fund intends to comply with amended Regulation 4.5&#146;s requirements such that the
Investment Adviser will not be required to register as a commodity pool operator with the CFTC with respect to the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to employ futures, options on futures and swaps to the extent allowed by CFTC regulations in effect

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Nuveen registered open-end and closed-end funds, including the Fund, to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby those funds may directly
lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (<I>e.g.</I>, to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities &#147;fails,&#148; resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the &#147;Inter-Fund Program&#148;). The
closed-end Nuveen funds will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of
conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1)&nbsp;no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial
institution for a comparable transaction; (2)&nbsp;no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund&#146;s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of
its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an
equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3)&nbsp;if a fund&#146;s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a
secured basis only; (4)&nbsp;no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5)&nbsp;a fund&#146;s inter-fund loans to any one
fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund&#146;s net assets; (6)&nbsp;the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7)&nbsp;each inter-fund
loan may be called on one business days&#146; notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is
consistent with the fund&#146;s investment objective and investment policies. The Board of Trustees of the Nuveen Funds is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program. The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC
exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows
money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day&#146;s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is
not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

instruments and financial agreements, in accordance with SEC guidance. However, the Fund also may &#147;cover&#148; certain obligations by other means such as through ownership of the underlying security or financial instrument. The Fund also may

securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may only be resold pursuant to Rule&nbsp;144A under the 1933 Act and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Restricted securities may be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or in a public offering with respect to which a
registration statement is in effect under the 1933 Act. Where registration is required, the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the
time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than that which prevailed when it decided
to sell. Illiquid securities will be priced at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or its delegate. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Portfolio Trading and Turnover Rate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>Portfolio trading may be undertaken to accomplish the investment
objectives of the Fund in relation to actual and anticipated movements in interest rates. In addition, a security may be sold and another of comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what the Investment Adviser
and/or the Sub-Adviser believes to be a temporary price disparity between the two securities. Temporary price disparities between two comparable securities may result from supply and demand imbalances where, for example, a temporary oversupply of
certain bonds may cause a temporarily low price for such bonds, as compared with other bonds of like quality and characteristics. The Fund may also engage to a limited extent in short-term trading consistent with its investment objectives.
Securities may be sold in anticipation of a market decline (a rise in interest rates) or purchased in anticipation of a market rise (a decline in interest rates) and later sold, but the Fund will not engage in trading solely to recognize a gain.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to the foregoing, the Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objectives by prudent selection of municipal
securities with a view to holding them for investment. While there can be no assurance thereof, the Fund anticipates that its annual portfolio turnover rate will generally not exceed 100%. However, the rate of turnover will not be a limiting factor
when the Fund deems it desirable to sell or purchase securities. Therefore, depending upon market conditions, the annual portfolio turnover rate of the Fund may exceed 100% in particular years. A higher portfolio turnover rate would result in
correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund. In addition, high portfolio turnover may result in the realization of net short-term capital gains by the Fund which, when distributed to
shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes or may result in greater amounts of net capital gain distributions. See &#147;Tax Matters&#148; below. </FONT></P>

agreement is a contractual agreement whereby the seller of securities (U.S. government securities or municipal bonds) agrees to repurchase the same security at a specified price on a future date agreed-upon by the parties. The agreed-upon repurchase
price determines the yield during the Fund&#146;s holding period. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans collateralized by </FONT></P>

the underlying security that is the subject of the repurchase contract. Income generated from transactions in repurchase agreements is taxable to shareholders of the Fund and, therefore, is
required to be allocated proportionately by the Fund between Common Shares and Preferred Shares. See &#147;Tax Matters&#148; below. The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with registered securities dealers or domestic banks that, in the
opinion of the Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, present minimal credit risk. The risk to the Fund is limited to the ability of the issuer to pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the delivery date; however, although the value of the
underlying collateral at the time the transaction is entered into always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price, if the value of the collateral declines there is a risk of loss of both principal and interest. In the event of default, the
collateral may be sold but the Fund might incur a loss if the value of the collateral declines, and might incur disposition costs or experience delays in connection with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are
commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization upon the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Investment Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser will monitor the value of the collateral at the time the transaction is
entered into and at all times subsequent during the term of the repurchase agreement in an effort to determine that such value always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price. In the event the value of the collateral declines below the
repurchase price, the Investment Adviser will demand additional collateral from the issuer to increase the value of the collateral to at least that of the repurchase price, including interest. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Zero Coupon Bonds and Other Original Issue Discount Instruments.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>A zero coupon bond is a bond that
typically does not pay interest for its entire life. When held to its maturity, the holder receives the par value of the zero coupon bond, which generates a return equal to the difference between the purchase price and its maturity value. A zero
coupon bond is normally issued and traded at a deep discount from face value. This original issue discount (&#147;OID&#148;) approximates the total amount of interest the security will accrue and compound prior to its maturity and reflects the
payment deferral and credit risk associated with the instrument. Because zero coupon securities and other OID instruments do not pay cash interest at regular intervals, the instruments&#146; ongoing accruals require ongoing judgments concerning the
collectability of deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. As a result, these securities may be subject to greater value fluctuations and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities
that pay cash on a current basis. Because zero coupon bonds, and OID instruments generally, allow an issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments, they may involve greater payment deferral and credit risk than
coupon loans and bonds that pay interest currently or in cash. The Fund generally will be required to distribute dividends to shareholders representing the income of these instruments as it accrues, even though the Fund will not receive all of the
income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Fund may have to sell other investments, including when it may not be advisable to do so, and use the cash proceeds to make income distributions to its shareholders. For accounting purposes, these cash
distributions to shareholders will not be treated as a return of capital. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the Investment Adviser collects management
fees on the value of a zero coupon bond or OID instrument attributable to the ongoing non-cash accrual of interest over the life of the bond or other instrument. As a result, the Investment Adviser receives non-refundable cash payments based on such
non-cash accruals while investors incur the risk that such non-cash accruals ultimately may not be realized. </FONT></P>

is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the &#147;Board&#148;). As of July&nbsp;1, 2018, the number of trustees of the Fund is set at eleven, one of whom is an &#147;interested person&#148; (as the term &#147;interested
person&#148; is defined in the 1940 Act) and ten of whom are not interested persons (referred to herein as &#147;independent trustees&#148;). None of the independent trustees has ever been a director, trustee or employee of, or consultant to,
Nuveen, LLC (&#147;Nuveen&#148;), Nuveen Fund Advisors, NAM, or their affiliates. The Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, the Class&nbsp;I trustees serving until the 2019 annual meeting, the Class II trustees
serving until the 2020 annual meeting and the Class III trustees serving until the 2021 annual meeting, in each case until their respective successors are elected and qualified, as described below. Currently, William C. Hunter, Judith M. Stockdale,
Carole E. Stone and Margaret L. Wolff are slated in Class I, John K. Nelson, Terence J. Toth and Robert L. Young are slated in Class II and Margo L. Cook, Jack B. Evans, Albin F. Moschner and William J. Schneider are slated in Class III. While there
are Preferred Shares outstanding, two of the Fund&#146;s trustees are elected by the holders of Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class. The remaining trustees of the Fund are elected by holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting
together as a class. The officers of the Fund serve annual terms and are elected on an annual basis. The names, business addresses and years of birth of the trustees and officers of the Fund, their principal occupations and other affiliations during
the past five years, the number of portfolios each oversees and other directorships they hold as of September&nbsp;30, 2018 are set forth below. Except as noted in the table below, the trustees of the Fund are directors or trustees, as the case may
be, of 166 Nuveen-sponsored registered investment companies (the &#147;Nuveen Funds&#148;) which includes 80 open-end mutual funds (the &#147;Nuveen Mutual Funds&#148;); and 75 closed-end funds and 11 exchange-traded funds. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including the duties performed for the Fund by the Investment Adviser. The
Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of trustees who serves on the board of every fund in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the trustees seek to provide effective governance through
establishing a board, the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, independence and experience to oversee the Fund&#146;s business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and
Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the trustees consider, not only the candidate&#146;s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background, skills and experience
enhance the Board&#146;s diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent trustees. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board generally
benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the
structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same complex generally are served by the same service providers and personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which raises common issues that must be addressed by the trustees
across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation or risk management). The Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures which increases the
Board&#146;s knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Board&#146;s influence and oversight over the Investment Adviser and other service
providers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board also has a chairman that is an independent
trustee. The Board recognizes that a chairman can perform an important role in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for fund management, and reinforcing the
Board&#146;s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chairman may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with fund management. Accordingly, the
trustees have elected Terence J. Toth as the independent chairman of the Board. Specific responsibilities of the chairman include: (i)&nbsp;presiding at all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders; (ii)&nbsp;seeing that all orders and
resolutions of the trustees are carried into effect; and (iii)&nbsp;maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings of the trustees and the shareholders. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and Fund
performance), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities through several committees that it has established and which report back to the full Board. The Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means to
permit trustees to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Fund, including risk oversight. More specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain committees
(as summarized below) as well as certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of trustees among the different committees allows the trustees to gain additional and different perspectives of the
Fund&#146;s operations. The Board has </FONT></P>

established six standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Audit Committee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>The Board has an Audit Committee, in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;1934 Act&#148;),
that is composed of independent trustees who are also &#147;independent&#148; as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the New York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;). The Audit Committee assists the Board in
the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices of the Fund,&nbsp;and the audits of the financial statements of the Fund; the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Fund; the
Fund&#146;s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Fund&#146;s financial statements; the independent auditors&#146; qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the Fund and the internal
valuation group of Nuveen. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board and, if applicable, shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation. The Audit
Committee is also responsible for, among other things, overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the Fund&#146;s portfolios. Subject to the Board&#146;s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues,
oversees the Fund&#146;s pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveen&#146;s internal valuation group which provides regular reports to the Audit Committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Fund&#146;s securities brought to its
attention and considers the risks to the Fund in assessing the possible resolutions of these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Fund in conjunction with performing its functions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external
auditors for the Fund and the internal audit group at Nuveen. The Audit Committee also may review in a general manner the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management as well as
compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Fund&#146;s financial statements. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter (the &#147;Charter&#148;) adopted and approved by the Board, which Charter conforms
to the listing standards of the NYSE. Members of the Audit Committee are independent (as set forth in the Charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an
Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Jack B. Evans, Chair, William C. Hunter, John K. Nelson, Carole&nbsp;E. Stone and Terence J. Toth, each of whom is an independent trustee of the Fund. A copy of

Regulatory Oversight Committee (the &#147;Compliance Committee&#148;) is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Fund that are not otherwise under or within the jurisdiction of
the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to address the Fund&#146;s compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee reviews the policies and procedures
relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Fund arise from time to time; evaluates or considers any
comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or regulatory matters as
requested by the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight, including, but not limited
to, the oversight of risks related to investments and operations. Such risks include, among other things, exposures to particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities; risks related to product structure elements, such as leverage; and
techniques that may be used to address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing issues brought to the Compliance Committee&#146;s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance
Committee evaluates the risks to the Fund in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Fund and its shareholders. In fulfilling its obligations, the Compliance Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and
at least once a year in person. The Compliance Committee receives written and oral reports from the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;) and meets privately with the CCO at each of its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an
annual report to the full Board regarding the operations of the Fund&#146;s and other service providers&#146; compliance programs as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. The Compliance Committee also receives reports from the
investment services group of Nuveen regarding various investment risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates in discussions with management regarding certain matters relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage
and hedging. The investment services group therefore also reports to the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other things, Fund performance and the various drivers of such performance. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in
conjunction with the Compliance Committee oversees matters relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and
approved by the Board. The members of the Compliance Committee are John K. Nelson, Chair, Albin F. Moschner, Judith M. Stockdale, Margaret L. Wolff and Robert L. Young. During the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2017, the Compliance Committee met

Committee believes the structure has provided efficient and effective governance, the Nominating and Governance Committee recognizes that, as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as
through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the Nominating and Governance Committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their processes and modify the
foregoing as may be necessary or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and committee structures, their
performance and functions, and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Board&#146;s governance over the Fund&#146;s business. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things, makes recommendations concerning the continuing education of
trustees; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with members of the Board; and periodically reviews and makes
recommendations about any appropriate changes to trustee compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to suitable candidates.
Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen LLC, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL&nbsp;60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations
for new trustees and each nominee is evaluated using the same standards. However, the Nominating and Governance Committee reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new trustees. In considering a
candidate&#146;s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the time requirements for due diligence site visits to internal and external sub-advisers
and service providers) and, if qualifying as an independent trustee candidate, independence from the Investment Adviser, sub-advisers, underwriters or other service providers, including any affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience
requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these
factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent trustees at the time of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence,
governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and with management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board members. The Nominating and Governance
Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Funds&#146; website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Shareholder/FundGovernance.aspx, and is composed entirely of independent trustees, who are

qualified to serve on the Board, the Board has considered each trustee&#146;s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that trustees need
to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the
performance of their duties, and the Board believes each trustee satisfies this standard. An effective trustee may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or
academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is
a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each trustee should continue to serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes

Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (&#147;TIAA&#148;). TIAA is a life insurance company founded in 1918 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is the companion organization of College Retirement Equities
Fund. As of September 30, 2018, Nuveen managed approximately $988.4&nbsp;billion in assets, of which approximately $142.8&nbsp;billion was managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Investment Adviser has selected its wholly owned affiliate, NAM, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606, to serve as a sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between
the Investment Adviser and NAM (the &#147;Sub-Advisory Agreement&#148;). NAM, a registered investment adviser, oversees day-to-day operations and manages the investment of the Fund&#146;s assets on a discretionary basis, subject to the supervision

Management Agreement and Related Fees.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</B>Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay an annual management fee for the overall advisory and administrative services and general office facilities
provided by the Investment Adviser. The Fund&#146;s management fee consists of two components&#151;a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund
assets managed by the Investment Adviser. The fund-level is a maximum of 0.45% of the Fund&#146;s average total daily net assets (including assets attributable to Preferred Shares), with lower fee levels for such assets that exceed
$125&nbsp;million. The complex-level fee is a maximum of 0.20% of the Fund&#146;s average daily managed assets based on the total daily managed assets for all Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.&nbsp;that constitute &#147;eligible assets,&#148; with
lower fee levels of complex-level assets that exceed $55&nbsp;billion. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2&nbsp;billion) added to the
Nuveen Fund complex in connection with Nuveen Fund Advisors&#146; assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January&nbsp;1, 2011. This pricing structure enables Nuveen Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the
assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors. </FONT></P>

outperforming the Fund. A conflict may also exist if a portfolio manager identified a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but the Fund is not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the
need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition, the Portfolio Manager may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Fund. However, the Sub-Adviser believes that
these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or
policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account sizes, and other factors. In addition, the Sub-Adviser has adopted trade allocation procedures so that accounts with like investment strategies are treated fairly

team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with NAM&#146;s policies and procedures. The final factor influencing a portfolio manager&#146;s cash bonus is the financial

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund invests primarily in municipal securities. On rare occasions the Fund may acquire, directly or through a special purpose
vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer whose bonds the Fund already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of acquiring equity securities generally
will be to acquire control of the municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer&#146;s credit problem. In the course of exercising control of a
distressed municipal issuer, NAM may pursue the Fund&#146;s interests in a variety of ways, which may entail negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not
consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule&nbsp;206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, but nevertheless provides reports to the Board on its control activities on a quarterly basis. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy, or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a
cash management security, NAM would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of the Board or its representative. In the case of a conflict
of interest, the proxy would be submitted to the Board to determine how the proxy should be voted. A member of NAM&#146;s legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in accordance with
Rule&nbsp;206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the Board and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules. NAM&#146;s proxy voting policies and procedures are attached hereto as
Appendix C. If applicable, information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June&nbsp;30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling <FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to the supervision of the Board, NAM is responsible for decisions to purchase and sell securities for the Fund, the negotiation of the prices to be paid and the allocation of transactions among
various dealer firms. Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment by the Fund of brokerage commissions. There generally is no stated commission in the case of securities traded in the OTC market but the price paid by the Fund usually
includes an undisclosed dealer commission or mark-up. Transactions in the OTC market can also be placed with broker-dealers who act as agents and charge brokerage commissions for effecting OTC transactions. The Fund may place its OTC transactions
either directly with principal market makers, or with broker-dealers if that is consistent with NAM&#146;s obligation to obtain best qualitative execution. In certain instances, the Fund may make purchases of underwritten issues at prices that
include underwriting fees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Portfolio securities may be purchased directly from an underwriter or in the OTC market from the
principal dealers in such securities, unless it appears that a better price or execution may be obtained through other means. Portfolio securities will not be purchased from Nuveen Securities, LLC or its affiliates or affiliates of Nuveen Fund
Advisors except in compliance with the 1940 Act. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is NAM&#146;s policy to seek the best execution under the circumstances of each trade.
NAM will evaluate price as the primary consideration, with the financial condition, reputation and responsiveness of the dealer considered secondary in determining best execution. Given the best execution obtainable, it will be NAM&#146;s practice
to select dealers that, in addition, furnish research information (primarily credit analyses of issuers and general economic reports) and statistical and other services to NAM. It is not possible to place a dollar value on information and
statistical and other services received from dealers. Since it is only supplementary to NAM&#146;s own research efforts, the receipt of research information is not expected to reduce significantly NAM&#146;s expenses. While NAM will be primarily
responsible for the placement of the business of the Fund, NAM&#146;s policies and practices in this regard must be consistent with the foregoing and will, at all times, be subject to review by the Board. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NAM may manage other investment accounts and investment companies for other clients that may invest in the same types of securities as
the Fund and that may have investment objectives similar to those of the Fund. NAM seeks to allocate portfolio transactions equitably whenever concurrent decisions are made to purchase or sell assets or securities by the Fund and another advisory
account. If an aggregated order cannot be filled completely, allocations will generally be made on a pro&nbsp;rata basis. An order may not be allocated on a pro&nbsp;rata basis where, for example (i)&nbsp;consideration is given to portfolio managers
who have been instrumental in developing or negotiating a particular investment; (ii)&nbsp;consideration is given to an account with specialized investment policies that coincide with the particulars of a specific investment;
(iii)&nbsp;pro&nbsp;rata allocation would result in odd-lot or <I>de&nbsp;minimis </I>amounts being allocated to a portfolio or other client; or (iv)&nbsp;where NAM reasonably determines that departure from a pro&nbsp;rata allocation is advisable.
There may also be instances where the Fund will not participate at all in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts. While these allocation procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to
the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of the Board that the benefits available from NAM&#146;s management outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from NAM&#146;s larger management activities and its need to allocate securities. </FONT></P>

and expenses are accrued and applied daily. The prices of fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service and are based on the mean between the bid and asked price. When price quotes are not readily available, which is typically the case
for municipal bonds, the pricing service establishes a security&#146;s fair value based on various factors, including prices of comparable fixed income securities utilizing a matrix pricing system. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair
value pricing, it is possible that the fair value determined for a particular security may be different from the value realized upon the sale of the security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

Fund, if any. Such disallowed deductions, if any, will reduce the amount that the Fund can report as exempt-interest dividends by the disallowed amount. Income distributions by the Fund in excess of the amount of the Fund&#146;s exempt-interest
dividends may be taxable as ordinary income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Distributions to shareholders of net investment income received by the Fund from

made. The amount of taxable income allocable to the Fund&#146;s shares will depend upon the amount of such income realized by the Fund, but is not generally expected to be significant. Taxable distributions are subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income

&#147;Qualified dividend income&#148; received by noncorporate shareholders is taxed for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes at rates equivalent to long-term capital gains tax rates, which reach a maximum of 20%. Qualified dividend income
generally includes dividends from domestic corporations and dividends from non-U.S. corporations that meet certain specified criteria. As long as the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under the Code, it is not expected that any part

the Fund will report dividends paid as exempt-interest dividends in a manner that allocates such dividends between the holders of the common shares and the preferred shares in proportion to the total dividends paid to each such class with respect to
the taxable year, or otherwise as required by applicable law. Net capital gain dividends and ordinary income dividends will similarly be allocated between the two classes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

imposed by the 1940 Act as well as additional restrictions that may be imposed by certain lenders on the payment of dividends or distributions potentially could limit or eliminate the Fund&#146;s ability to make distributions on its common shares
and/or preferred shares until the asset coverage is restored. These limitations could prevent the Fund from distributing at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and tax-exempt interest as is required under the Code and therefore might
jeopardize the Fund&#146;s qualification as a regulated investment company, subject the Fund to a nondeductible 4% federal excise tax or both. Upon any failure to meet the asset coverage requirements imposed by the 1940 Act, the Fund may, in its
sole discretion and to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, purchase or redeem preferred shares in order to maintain or restore the requisite asset coverage and avoid the adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders of failing to meet
the distribution requirements. However, there can be no assurance that any such action would achieve these objectives. The Fund endeavors to avoid restrictions on its ability to distribute dividends. </FONT></P>

to shareholders who hold their shares as capital assets. Generally, a shareholder&#146;s gain or loss will be long-term capital gains or losses if the shares have been held for more than one year even though the increase in value in such shares is
attributable to tax-exempt interest income. The gain or loss on shares held for one year or less will generally be treated as short-term capital gains or losses. Current law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the
same rates applicable to ordinary income. However, for noncorporate taxpayers, long-term capital gains are currently taxed at a maximum U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax rate of 20%, while short-term capital gains are currently taxed at ordinary income
rates. Any loss on the sale of shares that have been held for six months or less will be disallowed to the extent of any distribution of exempt-interest dividends received with respect to such shares, unless the shares are of a regulated investment
company that declares exempt-interest dividends on a daily basis in an amount equal to at least 90% of its net tax-exempt interest and distributes such dividends on a monthly or more frequent basis. If a shareholder sells or otherwise disposes of
shares before holding them for more than six months, any loss on the sale or disposition will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any net capital gain dividends received by the shareholder with respect to such shares. Any loss
realized on a sale or exchange of shares of the Fund will be disallowed to the extent those shares of the Fund are replaced by other substantially identical shares of the Fund or other substantially identical stock or securities (including through
reinvestment of dividends) within a period of 61 days beginning 30&nbsp;days before and ending 30&nbsp;days after the date of disposition of the original shares. In that event, the basis of the replacement stock or securities will be adjusted to
reflect the disallowed loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to changes made by the Tax
Act, discussed below, U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax law imposes an alternative minimum tax with respect to corporations, individuals, trusts and estates. Interest on certain &#147;private activity&#148; bonds is included as an item of tax preference
in determining the amount of a taxpayer&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income. To the extent that the Fund receives income from municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund,
although otherwise exempt from U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax, would be taxable to its shareholders to the extent that their tax liability is determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. Pursuant to its non-fundamental investment policy
adopted on February&nbsp;4, 2016, the Fund does not intend to acquire securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals. The Fund will annually provide a report indicating the percentage of the
Fund&#146;s income attributable to municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals. In addition, for certain corporations, federal alternative minimum taxable income is increased by 75% of the difference
between an alternative measure of income (&#147;adjusted current earnings&#148;) and the amount otherwise determined to be the alternative minimum taxable income. Interest on all municipal securities, and therefore a distribution by the Fund that
would otherwise be tax-exempt, is included in calculating a corporation&#146;s adjusted current earnings. Certain small corporations are not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P>

circumstances of each case, and no controlling precedent exists for the Preferred Shares issued by the Fund, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question special tax counsel&#146;s opinion and the Fund&#146;s treatment of the Preferred
Shares as equity. If the IRS were to succeed in such a challenge, holders of Preferred Shares could be characterized as receiving taxable interest income rather than exempt-interest or other dividends, possibly requiring them to file amended income

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial
obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the
obligation and takes into account the currency in which the obligation is denominated. The opinion reflects Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s view of the obligor&#146;s capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due, and
may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default. </FONT></P>

short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365&nbsp;days&#151;including commercial paper. Short-term ratings are also used to indicate the creditworthiness of an
obligor with respect to put features on long-term obligations. Medium-term notes are assigned long-term ratings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Long-Term

and sell a security for a set price on a future date. They have been designed by boards of trade which have been designated &#147;contracts markets&#148; by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (&#147;CFTC&#148;). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase of financial futures is for the purpose of hedging the Fund&#146;s existing or anticipated holdings of long-term debt
securities. For example, if the Fund desires to increase its exposure to long-term bonds and has identified long-term bonds it wishes to purchase at a future time, but expects market interest rates to decline (thereby causing the value of those
bonds to increase), it might purchase financial futures. If interest rates did decrease, the value of those to-be-purchased long-term bonds would increase, but the value of the Fund&#146;s financial futures would be expected to increase at
approximately the same rate, thereby helping maintain the Fund&#146;s purchasing power. When the Fund purchases a financial future, it deposits in cash or securities an &#147;initial margin,&#148; typically equal to an amount between 1% and 5% of
the contract amount. Thereafter, the Fund&#146;s account is either credited or debited on a daily basis in correlation with the fluctuation in price of the underlying future or other requirements imposed by the exchange in order to maintain an
orderly market. The Fund must make additional payments to cover debits to its account and has the right to withdraw credits in excess of the liquidity, the Fund may close out its position at any time prior to expiration of the financial future by
taking an opposite position. At closing a final determination of debits and credits is made, additional cash is paid by or to the Fund to settle the final determination and the Fund realizes a loss or gain depending on whether on a net basis it made
or received such payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The sale of financial futures is for the purpose of hedging the Fund&#146;s existing or
anticipated holdings of long-term debt securities. For example, if the Fund owns long-term bonds and market interest rates were expected to increase (causing those bonds&#146; values to decline), it might sell financial futures. If interest rates
did increase, the value of long-term bonds in the Fund&#146;s portfolio would decline, but the value of the Fund&#146;s financial futures would be expected to increase at approximately the same rate thereby keeping the net asset value of the Fund
from declining as much as it otherwise would have. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Among the risks associated with the use of financial futures by the Fund
as a hedging or anticipatory device, perhaps the most significant is the imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the financial futures and movements in the price of the debt securities which are the subject of the hedge. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Thus, if the price of the financial future moves less or more than the price of the securities which are the subject of the hedge, the
hedge will not be fully effective. To compensate for this imperfect correlation, the Fund may enter into financial futures in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of the securities being hedged if the historical volatility of the prices of
such securities </FONT></P>

has been greater than the historical volatility of the financial futures. Conversely, the Fund may enter into fewer financial futures if the historical volatility of the price of the securities
being hedged is less than the historical volatility of the financial futures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market prices of financial futures may also
be affected by factors other than interest rates. One of these factors is the possibility that rapid changes in the volume of closing transactions, whether due to volatile markets or movements by speculators, would temporarily distort the normal
relationship between the markets in the financial future and the chosen debt securities. In these circumstances as well as in periods of rapid and large price movements. The Fund might find it difficult or impossible to close out a particular
transaction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL FUTURES </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may also purchase put or call options on financial futures which are traded on a U.S.&nbsp;Exchange or board of trade and enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate
an existing position. The purchase of put options on financial futures is analogous to the purchase of put options by the Fund on its portfolio securities to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates. As with options on debt securities, the
holder of an option may terminate his position by selling an option of the Fund. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Trade. The index fluctuates with changes in the market values of all tax-exempt bonds included rather than a single bond. An index future is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of
cash-rather than any security-equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index future was originally written. Thus, an index future
is similar to traditional financial futures except that settlement is made in cash. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">INDEX OPTIONS </FONT></P>

transactions with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. Options on index futures are similar to options on debt instruments except that an option on an index future gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid,
to assume a position in an index contract rather than an underlying security at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to
the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance of the writer&#146;s futures margin account which represents the amount by which the market price of the index futures contract, at exercise, is less than the
exercise price of the option on the index future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Bond index futures and options transactions would be subject to risks

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">SWAP AGREEMENTS </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors, typically for periods ranging from a few weeks to several years. In a standard swap transaction, two parties
agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional
amount (the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) of a particular security, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements may
include, by way of example, (i)&nbsp;interest rate swaps, in which one party exchanges a commitment to pay a floating, shorter-term interest rate (typically by reference to the rate of a specific security or index) for the other party&#146;s
commitment to pay a fixed, longer-term interest rate (either as specifically agreed, or by reference to a specified security or index); (ii)&nbsp;interest rate caps, in which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other
to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate or cap; (iii)&nbsp;interest rate floors, in which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level or
floor; (iv)&nbsp;interest rate collars, in which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor, or vice versa, in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels or collar amounts; (v)&nbsp;total
return swaps, in which one party commits to pay the total return of an underlying security or asset in return for receiving from the other party a specified return or the return of another instrument (typically a floating short-term interest rate),
and (vi)&nbsp;credit default swap, in which the buyer pays a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the seller upon a credit event (such as a default) happening with respect to a specified instrument, typically in an amount equivalent to
the loss incurred on a specific investment in that security due to the credit event. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Fund may enter into such swap
agreements for any purpose consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective, such as for the purpose of attempting to obtain, enhance, or preserve a particular desired return or spread at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested
directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return or spread. The Fund also may enter into swaps in order to protect against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Whether the Fund&#146;s use of swap agreements will be successful in furthering its investment objective will depend, in part, on the
ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments and the changes in the future values, indices, or rates covered by the swap agreement. Swap agreements may be considered
to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The Fund will enter swap agreements only with
counterparties that Nuveen Fund Advisors reasonably believes are capable of performing under the swap agreements. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Fund will have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Certain restrictions imposed on the Fund by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may limit the Fund&#146;s ability to use swap
agreements. The swap market is largely unregulated. </FONT></P>
