LLP (&#147;PwC&#148;), was selected as each Fund&#146;s registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending in 2025. Information regarding PwC is as follows (capitalized terms used are as defined in the Proxy Statement): </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:16pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PwC was selected as each Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm by the Audit Committee and ratified by the Board, including
all of the Independent Trustees, to audit the books and records of each Fund for the Fund&#146;s fiscal year ending in 2025. A representative of PwC and a representative of KPMG LLP (&#147;KPMG&#148;), the Fund&#146;s prior independent registered
public accounting firm, will be present at the Annual Meetings to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders&#146; questions. PwC has informed each Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial
interest in the Fund, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:16pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PwC was selected by the Audit Committee

an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During each Fund&#146;s two most recently completed fiscal years and during the current fiscal year prior to
the decision by the Audit Committee and Board to change independent registered public accounting firm, there were (i)&nbsp;no disagreements between each Fund and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to KPMG&#146;s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference thereto in their reports, and (ii)&nbsp;no &#147;reportable events&#148; within the meaning of Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K.</FONT> </P>
