<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board considered each Board Nominee&#146;s background, skills, experience and other attributes. The Board seeks to
provide effective governance by establishing a board, the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, diversity (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), independence and experience to oversee the
Fund&#146;s business as it continues to grow and develop. In pursuit of this goal, the Board believes that it generally benefits from a diversity of background (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), skills, experience and views
among Trustees. The Board&#146;s culture has been built over a long period, and the current Board&#146;s beliefs and ways of working are the legacy of a long-developed stance of strong in-</P>

dependence that is in positive tension with the capable, values-oriented teams and leaders of Nuveen. The Nominating and Governance Committee considered the manner in which each of the Board
Nominees embodies the principles set forth in the Governing Principles of the Board (the &#147;Governing Principles&#148;) by serving the interests of the shareholders of the Fund. Pursuant to the Governing Principles, the Board seeks to ensure that
the Fund operates in accordance with its investment objectives, risk profile and strategies, at an appropriate cost and with a high level of service for shareholders. To accomplish this goal, the Board values Trustees who work with each other and
Fund management in a cooperative, open and trusting manner, as the Board believes that operating collegially among themselves and with management best serves Fund shareholders. Nonetheless, the Board values direct and constructive criticism to
challenge itself and management to work on behalf of Fund shareholders. The Board&#146;s primary concern is the fiduciary responsibility it owes to Fund shareholders. Therefore, beyond any legal restrictions, the Board expects each Trustee to agree
to make the board of the Nuveen funds a primary focus of such Trustee&#146;s outside board commitments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Trustees strongly believe that the current Trustees,
who, as trustees of funds in the Fund Complex, have demonstrated their ability to live up to the Governing Principles and deliver value to shareholders, are best able to represent the long-term interests of Fund shareholders. The Board Nominees,
together with the other Trustees on the Board, are focused on creating sustainable value for Fund shareholders. Under the leadership of the Board, the Fund has delivered competitive peer-and benchmark-relative returns on net asset value and market
price over time. In addition, the Fund has delivered on its investment objective of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals and New York income tax by paying a meaningfully
higher distribution rate than its benchmark over time. The Board seeks to ensure that the Fund operates in a manner intended to protect and advance the overall interests of Fund shareholders, not solely of those who seek short-term profits that are
incompatible with the Fund&#146;s investment objectives to provide current income exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals and to enhance
portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market by investing in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> municipal bonds that the Fund&#146;s investment adviser believes are underrated or undervalued or that represent municipal
market sectors that are undervalued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board also considered that effective January&nbsp;1, 2024, the Board and the
composition of the boards of certain investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates were aligned and consolidated so that funds in the Fund Complex are overseen by the same board members (the &#147;Board Consolidation&#148;). In
connection with the Board Consolidation, the Board undertook a comprehensive review of Fund governance, including the composition of the Board. The Board considered that in connection with the Board Consolidation, four well-qualified Independent
Trustees, who previously served as members of the boards of certain mutual funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser (the &#147;TC Funds&#148;), joined the Board effective January&nbsp;1, 2024. In approving the Board
Consolidation, the Board determined that the Board Consolidation would confer benefits to the Fund and Fund shareholders, including generating cost efficiencies, expense savings and expected economies of scale and eliminating duplicative efforts in
board operations across the Fund Complex. The Board believes the unitary board structure following the Board Consolidation enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the structure of the investment company complex. The

lieves 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 Adviser and other service providers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">On April&nbsp;18, 2024, the Board received a letter from the Karpus Fund regarding its intent to nominate the Karpus Nominees for election as Class&nbsp;III Trustees.
The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board undertook a thorough evaluation of the Karpus Nominees. In connection with such evaluation, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board reviewed the communication from the Karpus Fund,
including information regarding the qualifications of the Karpus Nominees, and reviewed trustee questionnaires completed by the Karpus Nominees. The Board also considered presentations from Fund management. The Board concluded that the current
Trustees, including the Board Nominees for election as Class&nbsp;III Trustees, have extensive experience with registered investment companies and the current Trustees are experienced with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds
generally and with the Fund, its objective, strategies and service providers. On the other hand, the Board concluded that the Karpus Nominees do not have the same experience with investment company governance generally nor with the Fund (or
comparable funds from other sponsors), its investment objective and strategies and its service providers. The Board also considered that the Karpus Nominees may seek to advance the self-interested goals of Karpus rather than the overall interests of
Fund shareholders, particularly in light of Karpus&#146;s simultaneous proposal to terminate the Fund&#146;s investment advisory agreement, which the Board unanimously opposes. In addition, the Board considered the benefits of the unitary board
structure described under &#147;&#151;Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight.&#148; Therefore, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board support the nomination of the Board Nominees for election as Class&nbsp;III Trustees. <B>The
Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Board Nominees listed in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed WHITE proxy card.</B> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>The Board does NOT endorse the Karpus Nominees and unanimously recommends that you disregard and do not return any proxy card you receive from Karpus. </B>Voting
&#147;AGAINST&#148; or to &#147;WITHHOLD&#148; or to &#147;ABSTAIN&#148; with respect to the Karpus Nominees on a proxy card sent to you by Karpus is NOT the same as voting for the Board Nominees. In addition, a vote &#147;AGAINST&#148; or to
&#147;WITHHOLD&#148; or to &#147;ABSTAIN&#148; with respect to the Karpus Nominees on a proxy card sent to you by Karpus will revoke any proxy you previously submitted. If you have previously submitted a proxy card sent to you by Karpus, you can
revoke that proxy and vote for the Board Nominees by delivering a duly executed WHITE proxy card bearing a later date, by voting again through the toll-free number or the internet address listed in the WHITE proxy card or by attending the Annual
Meeting and voting your shares in person. <B>Only your latest dated proxy will be counted. </B>Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy. </P>

participating Independent Trustee is credited to a book reserve account of the Participating Fund when the compensation would otherwise have been paid to such Independent Trustee. The value of an Independent Trustee&#146;s deferral account at any
time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen funds. At the time for commencing distributions from an Independent

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Board of the Fund oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including the duties performed for the Fund by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board favors
a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of board members who serves on the board of the funds in the Fund Complex. Through 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, diversity (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), 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 </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">
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 (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), skills, experience and views among Trustees, 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. The Nominating and Governance Committee goes through a continuous Board refreshment process, seeking to balance continuity with fresh perspective and
diversity of viewpoints to ensure a well diversified, knowledgeable and effective Board. Eight of the Fund&#146;s twelve current Trustees have served on the board of funds in the Fund Complex for eight years or less. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">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 Adviser and other service providers. </P>

specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation, compliance and investment risk to certain committees (as summarized below). 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 established seven standing committees: the Executive
Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Investment Committee and the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Closed-End</FONT>
Fund Committee. In addition to the foregoing standing committees, the Nuveen <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> funds also have a committee for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> fund matters. The Board may also from time

the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and financial reporting policies, processes and practices of the Fund, 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 Valuation Policy of the Nuveen funds and the
Adviser, as valuation designee for the Nuveen funds. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board approval 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 portfolio. The Audit Committee is also primarily responsible for the oversight of the
Valuation Policy and actions taken by the Adviser, as valuation designee, through its 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 to these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Fund in conjunction with performing its functions. </P>

the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. 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 of the Fund. </P>

Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 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 meetings with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-advisers</FONT> and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent Trustee
candidate, independence from the Adviser, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-advisers,</FONT> underwriters or other service providers, including any affiliates of those 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 Fund management and yet maintain a </P>

Committee and the Board of the Fund have appointed KPMG LLP (&#147;KPMG&#148;) as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for the fiscal year ending August&nbsp;31, 2024 at their meetings held on
February&nbsp;13, 2023 and [ ], 2023. A representative of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders&#146; questions. KPMG has informed the 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:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">KPMG has served as the
Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm since 2014. The Audit Committee and the Board considered a number of factors in determining whether to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-engage</FONT> KPMG as the Fund&#146;s independent
registered public accounting firm, including the length of time the firm has served in this role, the firm&#146;s professional qualifications and resources, the firm&#146;s past performance, and the firm&#146;s capabilities in handling the breadth
and complexity of the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex, as well as the potential impact of changing the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm. The Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of KPMG
as the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Although it is not required to do so,
the Board is submitting the appointment of KPMG to Fund shareholders for ratification. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, the Board and the Audit Committee will evaluate the shareholder vote when considering the selection of a
registered public accounting firm for the audit engagement for the 2025 fiscal year. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different registered independent public accounting firm at any time during
the year if it determines that such a change would be appropriate. </P>

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 Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets
within the Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. The Fund benefits from breakpoints included in the fund-level fee and complex-level fee. Across the Nuveen fund complex, the complex-wide fee
breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $50.4 million and fund-level breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $83.7&nbsp;million in 2023. Particularly in light of the economies of scale from which the Fund benefits by being a part of the Nuveen
fund complex, including through breakpoints in the complex-wide fee, there can be no assurance that another skilled manager could be retained by the Fund without increases in the Fund&#146;s management fees and net total expense ratio.
