<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hi, this is [name] from Nuveen. I&#146;m calling because your branch was identified as having a large allocation to the Nuveen New York <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AMT-Free</FONT> Quality Municipal Income Fund (NRK). An activist investor is trying to fire Nuveen as the manager of the fund&#146;s municipal bond strategy. I want to discuss the pending proxy for NRK and work with you to
encourage advisors at your branch to vote in a way that&#146;s consistent with the needs of their clients. I will send you an email with some more details and please share names of any advisors that would like to have a conversation. Thank you. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hi [Branch Manger] our records indicate that your branch was identified as having a large allocation to our New York
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AMT-Free</FONT> Quality Municipal Income Fund (NRK) and we wanted to make you aware of a pending proxy that requires a shareholder vote. NRK has been subject to shareholder activism and is at risk of investment
management change. An activist investor is trying to fire Nuveen as the investment manager and to install their own hand-picked nominees to the fund&#146;s board. NRK has been delivering high levels of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> income for 22 years, it continues to be the largest <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">NY-specific</FONT> state muni CEF fund in the industry, and it&#146;s #2 in terms of performance on share price
YTD (through 6/12). We hope you will help us encourage advisors at your branch to vote the proxies they are receiving in a manner that is consistent with their needs. If you are able to share names of any advisors that would like to have a
conversation about this proposal, we would welcome the opportunity to reach out to them directly on this important matter. </P>
