of its net assets in municipal securities or other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Up to 20% of the Fund&#146;s net assets may be invested in municipal securities that pay interest that is
taxable under the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, which creates an opportunity for increased Common Stock net income and returns, but also creates special risks for shareholders. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will
invest at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization
(&#147;NRSRO&#148;) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (&#147;Nuveen Asset Management&#148;), the Fund&#146;s sub-adviser. A security is considered investment grade if it is rated within the four
highest letter grades by at least one NRSRO that rate such securities (even if rated lower by another), or if it is unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in
municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. No more than 10% of the Fund&#146;s net assets may be invested in municipal
securities rated below B3/B- by all NRSROs that rate the security or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. Municipal securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly
speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. The Fund may invest up to approximately 15% of its net assets in inverse floating rate securities. The Fund cannot
assure you that it will achieve its investment objective. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal securities also may be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of
long-term debt. The Fund may purchase municipal securities in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-callable;</FONT> with payment forms that include fixed

<TD><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Recent Market Circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>The financial crisis in the U.S. and global economies over the past several years, including the European sovereign debt crisis, has
resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign. Liquidity in some markets has decreased and credit has become scarcer worldwide. Recent regulatory changes,
including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;) and the introduction of new international capital and liquidity requirements set forth by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (known as
&#147;Basel III&#148;), may cause lending activity within the financial services sector to be constrained for several years as Basel III rules phase in and rules and regulations are promulgated and interpreted under the Dodd-Frank Act. Since 2010,
the risks of investing in certain foreign government debt have increased dramatically as a result of the ongoing European debt crisis, which began in Greece and has spread to varying degrees throughout various other European countries. These debt
crises and the ongoing efforts of governments around the world to address these debt crises have also resulted in increased volatility and uncertainty in the global securities markets and it is impossible to predict the effects of these or similar
events in the future on the Fund, though it is possible that these or similar events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund. In the United States, on August&nbsp;5, 2011, S&amp;P lowered its long-term
sovereign credit rating on the U.S. federal government debt to &#147;AA+&#148; from &#147;AAA.&#148; Any additional downgrade by S&amp;P, or any other rating agency, could increase volatility in both stock and bond markets, result in higher interest
rates and higher Treasury yields and increase the costs of all kinds of debt. Global economies and financial markets are also becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might
adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. For example, in a referendum held on June&nbsp;23, 2016, citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (&#147;EU&#148;), creating economic and political uncertainty in its
wake. The country&#146;s departure from the EU (known as &#147;Brexit&#148;) sparked depreciation in the value of the British pound, short-term declines in the stock markets and heightened risk of continued economic volatility worldwide.

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.

Fund was not invested in derivatives. Like most derivative instruments, the use of swaps is a highly specialized 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 Nuveen Asset Management not only of the referenced asset, rate or index, but also of the swap itself and the markets on which they trade. Successful implementation of most hedging strategies
would generate taxable income. The derivatives market is subject to a changing regulatory environment. It is possible that regulatory or other developments in the derivatives market could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to successfully use

<TD><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund pays monthly distributions to Common Stock shareholders at a level rate (stated in terms of a fixed cents per Common Stock share dividend rate) based on the projected performance of the
Fund. The Fund&#146;s ability to maintain a level Common Stock dividend rate will depend on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of dividends on the Common Stock and the Fund&#146;s dividend policy could change.
For each year, the Fund will distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute, at least annually, all or substantially all of its net capital gain (which is the excess of net long-term
capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and taxable ordinary income, if any, to Common Stock shareholders. While not currently anticipated, if the Fund makes total distributions during a given calendar year in an amount that exceeds the
Fund&#146;s net investment income and net capital gain for that calendar year, the excess would generally be treated by Common Stock shareholders as a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital reduces a shareholder&#146;s tax basis,
which could result in higher taxes when the shareholder sells his or her shares. For taxable shareholders, such a distribution may result in higher taxes when the shares are ultimately sold because it may result in a larger gain or a smaller loss on
the sale. In the event of a distribution of paid-in capital, shareholders will be receiving their own capital back, net of the Fund&#146;s fees and expenses. You may elect to reinvest automatically some or all of your distributions in additional
shares of Common Stock under the Fund&#146;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Currently, the Fund employs leverage through its investment in inverse floating rate securities. Interest and Related Expenses from Inverse Floaters include interest
expense attributable to inverse floating rate securities created by selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (&#147;self-deposited inverse
floating rate securities&#148;). To the extent the Fund creates self-deposited inverse floating rate securities, the Fund recognizes interest expense because accounting rules require the Fund to treat interest paid by such trusts as having been paid
(indirectly) by the Fund. Because the Fund also recognizes a corresponding amount of additional interest earned (also indirectly), the Fund&#146;s net asset value per share, net investment income and total return are not affected by this accounting
treatment. The actual interest and related expenses from inverse floaters incurred in the future may be higher or lower. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Fund may invest in various municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and refinance public projects, and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that
provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. Municipal securities are often issued by state and local governmental entities to finance or refinance public projects, such as roads, schools, and water
supply systems. Municipal securities also may be issued on behalf of private entities or 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 long-term 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 also may be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis,
anticipating repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of long-term debt. The Fund may purchase municipal securities in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-callable;</FONT> with payment forms that include fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in
pooled vehicles, partnerships, or other investment companies. The Fund may invest in these types of securities, including up to 15% of its net assets in inverse floating rate securities, in order to more efficiently achieve its desired overall
portfolio structure as well as enhance its ability to achieve its investment objective. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. Nuveen Asset Management may use derivative instruments to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risk of the Fund&#146;s investments in
municipal securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. These types of hedging strategies may generate taxable income. With respect to the Fund&#146;s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any
borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities and other related instruments, the income of which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, for purposes of calculating net assets, the Fund will value eligible derivatives at market

reflect such rating. As a result, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security may decline and may not add any value. The insurance feature does not guarantee the full payment of principal and interest of an insured obligation, the
market value of the insured obligation or the net asset value of the Common Stock represented by such insured obligation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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 example, the price of a bond with an effective duration of two years will rise (fall) two percent for every one percent decrease (increase) in its yield, and the price of a five-year duration bond will rise (fall) five percent for a
one percent decrease (increase) in its yield. As of March 31, 2017, the average effective duration of the Fund&#146;s portfolio was 7.27 years, which includes the effects of leverage and takes into account the effect of option call provisions of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Leases and Certificates of Participation.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 which is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations is generally 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-appropriation</FONT> 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 Nuveen Asset Management believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making appropriations
until maturity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT 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 are typically issued by a municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received an assignment

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:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal
Notes.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-</FONT> 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 </FONT></P>

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

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-refunded</FONT> municipal securities are 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. government securities.
The assets in the escrow fund are derived from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-refunded</FONT> 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-refunded</FONT> municipal securities. However, except for a change in the revenue source from which

floating rate securities. Inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as &#147;inverse floaters&#148;) 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 formed by a third party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of beneficial
interests or securities: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender option bonds) and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters or residual interest securities). Both classes of
beneficial interests are represented by certificates. The short-term floating rate securities have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the special purpose trust. Typically, a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or
other financial institution, grants the floating rate security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial
institution receives periodic fees. The holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> rate. However, the institution
granting the tender option will not be obligated to accept tendered short-term floaters in the event of certain defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the bond issuer. For its inverse floating rate investment, the Fund
receives the residual cash flow from the special purpose trust. Because the holder of the short-term floater is generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security, the Fund as the holder of the inverse floater assumes the interest rate
cash flow risk and the market value risk associated with the municipal security deposited into the special purpose 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 in relation to the value of the residual inverse floaters that are issued by the special purpose trust. <B></B>In addition, all voting rights and decisions
to be made with respect to any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held in the special purpose trust are passed through to the Fund, as the holder of the residual inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P>

inverse floaters&#146; value is generally more volatile than that of fixed rate bonds. The market price of inverse floating rate securities is generally more volatile than the underlying securities due to the leveraging effect of this ownership
structure. These securities 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 tend to out-perform the market of fixed rate bonds when interest rates
decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile, inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Inverse
floaters have varying degrees of liquidity based upon, among other things, the liquidity of the underlying securities deposited in a special purpose trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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 security 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 security deposited in the trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the floating rate
security. 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 security. </FONT></P>

Transactions.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may buy and sell municipal securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date. This type of
transaction may involve an element of risk because no interest accrues on the bonds prior to settlement and, because bonds are subject to market fluctuations, the value of the bonds at time of delivery may be less (or more) than cost. A separate

coupon bond is a bond that typically does not pay interest either for the entire life of the obligation or for an initial period after the issuance of the obligation. 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>

negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a benchmark asset, market or interest rate (an &#147;embedded index&#148;), such as selected securities, an index of securities or
specified interest rates, or the differential performance of two assets or markets. The terms of such structured instruments normally provide that their principal and/or interest payments are to be adjusted upwards or downwards (but not ordinarily
below zero) to reflect changes in the embedded index while the structured instruments are outstanding. As a result, the interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a structured product may vary widely, depending upon a variety of factors,
including the volatility of the embedded index and the effect of changes in the embedded index on principal and/or interest payments. The rate of return on structured notes may be determined by applying a multiplier to the performance or

contracts or other derivative instruments. The Fund may also use credit default swaps and interest rate swaps. 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 U.S. or foreign corporate 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 U.S. or foreign corporation, 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. See &#147;Hedging Strategies and Other Uses of

the past several years, including the European sovereign debt crisis, has resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign. Liquidity in some markets has decreased
and credit has become scarcer worldwide. Recent regulatory changes, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the introduction of new international capital and liquidity requirements under Basel III, may cause lending activity within the financial services
sector to be constrained for several years as Basel III rules phase in and rules and regulations are promulgated and interpreted under the Dodd-Frank Act. These market conditions may continue or deteriorate further and may add significantly to the
risk of short-term volatility in the Fund. In response to the crisis, the U.S.&nbsp;and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. Withdrawal of this 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. Because the situation is widespread and largely unprecedented, it may be unusually
difficult to identify both risks and opportunities using past models of the interplay of market forces, or to predict the duration of these market conditions. The severity or duration of these conditions may also be affected by policy changes made

crisis, which began in Greece and has spread to varying degrees throughout various other European countries. These debt crises and the ongoing efforts of governments around the world to address these debt crises have also resulted in increased
volatility and uncertainty in the global securities markets and it is impossible to predict the effects of these or similar events in the future on the Fund, though it is possible that these or similar events could have a significant adverse impact

one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. For example, during the summer of 2015, stock markets in China suffered a significant downturn, which continues to persist, and is expected to continue to slow
economic growth in China. The slowdown in the Chinese economy could negatively affect the country&#146;s major trading partners and could, in turn, widely affect the global financial markets. State involvement in the Chinese economy and stock

of the United Kingdom has, pursuant to the Treaty, given notice of its withdrawal, and the period for negotiation with the EU Council to agree to terms for the United Kingdom&#146;s withdrawal from the EU has begun. The Treaty provides for a
two-year negotiation period, which may be shortened or extended by agreement of the parties. However, there is still considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences and precise timeframe for the exit, how the negotiations for the
withdrawal and new trade agreements will be conducted, and whether the United Kingdom&#146;s exit will increase the likelihood of other countries also departing the EU. During this period of uncertainty, the negative impact on not only the United
Kingdom and European economies, but the broader global economy, could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business
activities and revenues. Any further exits from the EU, or the possibility of such exits, would likely cause additional market disruption globally and introduce new legal and regulatory uncertainties. </FONT></P>

payments and interest payments compared to an 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. The current downturn may severely affect the ability of highly leveraged issuers to service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations upon maturity. As the national economy experiences the current economic
downturn, resulting in 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 is likely to 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 Stock. 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:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

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 further, 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>

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

may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These characteristics of these companies can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer
the potential for high returns. These companies&#146; securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the companies 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 companies. Distressed securities frequently do not produce income while they are outstanding and may require the Fund to bear certain extraordinary

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. Currently, market interest rates are at or near
historically low levels. 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 example, the price of a bond with an effective duration of two years will rise
(fall) two percent for every one percent decrease (increase) in its yield, and the price of a five-year duration bond will rise (fall) five percent for a one percent decrease (increase) in its yield. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Yield curve risk is the 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

more in response to changes in market interest rates than if the Fund invested primarily 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

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 recent 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 bonds. Historically, 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 investment performance of the Fund may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of Nuveen Asset Management than if the Fund were a stock fund or taxable bond fund. 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

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

including: processing errors, human errors, technical errors including computer glitches and system malfunctions, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, market-wide technical-related disruptions, unauthorized access to digital systems
(through &#147;hacking&#148; or malicious software coding), computer viruses, and cyber-attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality (including denial of service
attacks). Cyber incidents could adversely impact the Fund and cause the Fund to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated with corrective
measures. Cyber incidents may cause a Fund or its service providers to lose 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 failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the Fund and its service providers. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent
any cyber incidents in the future. While the Fund&#146;s service providers have established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and

the close of regular session trading (normally 4:00&nbsp;p.m., Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for business. Net asset value is calculated by taking the Fund&#146;s total assets, including interest or dividends accrued but not yet
collected, less all liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The result, rounded to the nearest cent, is the net asset value per share. All valuations are subject to review by the Fund&#146;s Board or its delegate.

other assets for which market quotations are available are valued at market value and expenses are accrued and applied daily. The prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund&#146;s Board. When market price quotes
are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service, or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular security, the Board of the Fund, or its designee, may establish fair market value using a
wide variety of market data including yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or
collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor&#146;s credit characteristics considered relevant by the pricing service or the Board&#146;s designee. Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at
the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued
at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. See &#147;Net Asset Value&#148; in the SAI for more information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Fund. Expenses of the Fund are accrued each day. For each year, all or substantially all of the net investment income of the Fund will be distributed. At least annually, the Fund also intends to distribute substantially all of its net capital gain
(which is the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and ordinary taxable income, if any. Although it does not now intend to do so, the Board may change the Fund&#146;s dividend policy and the amount or timing of the

capital gain for a taxable year. If the Fund does not distribute all of its net capital gain for a taxable year, it will pay federal income tax on the retained gain. Each Common Stock shareholder of record as of the end of the Fund&#146;s taxable
year will include in income for federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, his or her share of the retained net capital gain, will be deemed to have paid his or her proportionate share of tax paid by the Fund on such retained gain, and
will be entitled to an income tax credit or refund for that share of the tax. The Fund will treat the retained capital gains as a substitute for equivalent cash distributions. While not currently anticipated, if the Fund were to make total
distributions during a given calendar year in an amount that exceeds the Fund&#146;s net investment income and net capital gain for that calendar year, the excess would generally be treated by Common Stock shareholders as a return of capital for tax
purposes. A return of capital reduces a shareholder&#146;s tax basis, which could result in higher taxes when the shareholder sells his or her shares. For taxable shareholders, such a distribution may result in higher taxes when the shares are
ultimately sold because it may result in a larger gain or a smaller loss on the sale. In the event of a </FONT></P>

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 objective and policies. The Board of the Fund has considered the foregoing

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
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> investment companies may frequently trade at prices lower than net asset value, the Fund&#146;s 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 shares of Common Stock, 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> investment company. The Fund cannot assure you that its Board will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers will

that is in effect at the time of redemption. As a result, conversion to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> status may require changes in the management of the Fund&#146;s portfolio in order to meet the liquidity requirements applicable
to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> funds. Because portfolio securities may have to be liquidated to meet redemptions, conversion could affect the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objective or to use certain investment
policies and techniques described above. If converted to an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> fund, it is likely that new

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 Fund&#146;s shares should trade at a discount, the Board may

possible action to reduce or eliminate such discount to net asset value. On August&nbsp;3, 2016, 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 Stock. To

dividends paid to you are expected to qualify as &#147;exempt-interest dividends.&#148; A shareholder treats an exempt-interest dividend as interest on state and local bonds exempt from regular federal income tax. Federal income tax law imposes an
alternative minimum tax with respect to corporations, individuals, trust and estates. Interest on certain municipal securities, such as certain private activity bonds, is included as an item of tax preference in determining the amount of a
taxpayer&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income. If the Fund receives income from such municipal securities, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund, although exempt from regular federal income tax, will be taxable to shareholders whose tax
liabilities are determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will annually provide a report indicating the percentage of the Fund&#146;s income attributable to municipal securities and the percentage includable in federal
alternative minimum taxable income. Corporations are subject to special rules in calculating their federal alternative minimum taxable income with respect to interest from municipal securities. </FONT></P>

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

investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt municipal obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a fundamental policy, under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, in municipal securities or other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Up to 20% of the Fund&#146;s net assets may be invested in
municipal securities that pay interest that is taxable under the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals. For a discussion of how the federal alternative minimum tax may affect shareholders, see &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in various municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and
refinance public projects, and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from regular federal income tax (as used in this document, the term &#147;municipal
securities&#148; refers to all such investments collectively). Municipal securities are often issued by state and local governmental entities to finance or refinance public projects, such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal securities also may be issued on behalf of private entities or 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 long-term 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 also may be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of long-term debt. The Fund may purchase municipal securities in the form of bonds,
notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-callable;</FONT> with payment forms that include fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender-option
bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities. Such municipal securities may also be acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships, or other investment companies. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund also may invest in certain derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objective. 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. The Fund&#146;s sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (&#147;Nuveen
Asset Management&#148;) may use derivative instruments to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risk of the Fund&#146;s investments in municipal securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. These types of strategies
may generate taxable income. With respect to the Fund&#146;s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities and other related instruments, the income of which is exempt from
regular federal income taxes, for purposes of calculating net assets, the Fund will value eligible derivatives at market value or fair value instead of notional value. As of January 31, 2017, the Fund was not invested in derivatives. </FONT></P>

projects (such as roads or public buildings), to pay general operating expenses or to refinance outstanding debt. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit, or taxing authority, of the issuer and may be repaid from any revenue
source; revenue bonds may be repaid only from the revenues of a specific facility or source. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal securities may also be
issued on behalf of private entities or for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned industrial development and pollution control projects. However, the obligation to repay the
principal and interest rests with the private entity involved, not with the public entity that issues the bonds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may

and securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal securities of below investment grade quality (Ba/BB or below) are commonly referred to as junk
bonds. 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 or above are considered &#147;investment grade&#148; securities; municipal securities rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations that 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 or 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 tend to be less marketable than higher-quality securities because the market for them is less broad. The market for municipal securities unrated by any NRSRO is even narrower. During periods of thin

invest in distressed securities. Distressed securities are securities issued by companies having financial difficulties, such as being in default on their obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that are involved in bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings. 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>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A general description of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P&#146;s and Fitch&#146;s ratings of municipal securities is set forth in Appendix&nbsp;A hereto. The ratings of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P and Fitch 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

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will generally invest in municipal securities with intermediate or long-term maturities. The average effective maturity of securities held by the Fund may be shortened or lengthened, depending on

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> income and total return. As of March 31, 2017, the effective maturity of the Fund&#146;s portfolio was 21.35 years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

during which the net proceeds of an offering are being invested, the Fund may invest any percentage of its net assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term securities that may be either
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> or taxable. The Fund intends to invest in taxable short-term investments only in the event that suitable <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> short-term investments are not available
at reasonable prices and yields, as determined by Nuveen Asset Management, and in amounts limited to ensure that the Fund is eligible to pay exempt-interest dividends (as described in &#147;Tax Matters&#148; below).
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Tax-exempt</FONT> short-term investments include various obligations issued by state and local governmental issuers, such as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> notes (bond anticipation notes, tax
anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes or other such municipal bonds maturing in three years or less from the date of issuance) and municipal commercial paper. The Fund will invest only in taxable short-term investments which are U.S.
government securities or securities rated within the highest grade by Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P or Fitch, and which mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable or floating rate of interest. See Appendix A for a general
description of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P&#146;s and Fitch&#146;s ratings of securities in such categories. Taxable short-term investments of the Fund may include certificates of deposit issued by U.S. banks with assets of at least $1 billion, or
commercial paper or corporate notes, bonds or debentures with a remaining maturity of one year or less, or repurchase agreements. To the extent the Fund invests in taxable investments, the Fund will not at such times be in a position to achieve its

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Obligations of issuers of municipal securities are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. In addition, the obligations of such issuers may become subject to the laws enacted in the future by Congress, state legislatures or referenda extending the time for 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 ability of

may invest up to 25% of its net assets in municipal securities in any one industry or in any one state of origin. In addition, subject to the concentration limits of the Fund&#146;s investment policies and guidelines, the Fund may invest a
significant portion of its net 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 <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">start-up</FONT> 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 net 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 net 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 reimbursement rates, as well as government approval of products and services and intense competition. Securities issued with respect to special taxing districts will be subject to various risks, including real-estate
development related risks and taxpayer concentration risk. Further, the fees, special taxes or tax allocations and other revenues established to secure the obligations of securities issued with respect to special taxing districts are generally
limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. Charter schools and other private educational facilities will be subject to various
risks, including the reversal of legislation authorizing or funding charter schools, the failure to renew or secure a charter, the failure of a funding entity to appropriate necessary funds and competition from alternatives such as voucher programs.
Issuers of municipal utility securities can be significantly affected by government regulation, financing difficulties, supply and demand of services or fuel and natural resource conservation. The transportation sector, including airports, airlines,
ports and other transportation facilities, can be significantly affected by changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor relations, insurance costs and government regulation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

assets in tobacco settlement bonds, which are municipal securities that are backed solely by expected revenues to be derived from lawsuits 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 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:4%"><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.

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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-MSA</FONT> participating tobacco manufacturers would cause a downward adjustment in the payment

the Prospectus are municipal leases, certificates of participation in such lease obligations or installment purchase contract obligations (hereinafter collectively called &#147;Municipal Lease Obligations&#148;) of municipal authorities or entities.
Although a Municipal Lease Obligation does not constitute a general obligation of the municipality for which the municipality&#146;s taxing power is pledged, a Municipal Lease Obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality&#146;s covenant to
budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the Municipal Lease Obligation. However, certain Municipal Lease Obligations contain &#147;nonappropriation&#148; clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or
installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. In the case of a &#147;non-appropriation&#148; lease, the Fund&#146;s ability to recover under the lease in the event of <FONT

difficult. 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 Lease Obligations where Nuveen Asset Management believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making appropriations until maturity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular predetermined asset, reference rate or index. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are
generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, <I>e.g.</I>, the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. The notional
amount of the swap agreement generally is only used as a basis upon which to calculate the obligations that the parties to the swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The Fund&#146;s current obligations under a net swap agreement will be accrued
daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by assets determined to be liquid by Nuveen Asset Management. The Fund maintains in a segregated account with its
custodian cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the Fund&#146;s net payment obligations under any swap transaction, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">marked-to-market</FONT></FONT> daily. The Fund
will not enter into swap transactions having a notional amount that exceeds the outstanding amount of the Fund&#146;s leverage. See &#147;&#151;Segregation of Assets&#148; below. Some, but not all, swaps may be cleared, in which case a central
clearing counterparty stands between each buyer and seller and effectively guarantees performance of each contract, to the extent of its available resources for such purpose. Uncleared swaps have no such protection; each party bears the risk that
its direct counterparty will default. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Interest Rate Swaps, Caps, Collars and Floors. </I>Interest rate swaps are bilateral
contracts in which each party agrees to make periodic payments to the other party based on different referenced interest rates (<I>e.g.</I>, a fixed rate and a floating rate) applied to a specified notional amount. The purchase of an interest rate
floor entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index falls below a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the party 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 party selling such interest rate cap. Interest rate collars
involve selling a cap and purchasing a floor or vice versa to protect the Fund against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

to use the anticipated net receipts under the swap to offset the interest payments on Borrowings or the dividend payments on any outstanding preferred shares. Depending on whether the Fund would be entitled to receive net payments from the
counterparty on the swap, which in turn would depend on the general state of short-term interest rates at that point in time, such a default could negatively impact the performance of the Common Stock. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap
transaction reaches its scheduled termination date, there is a risk that the Fund would not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the replacement would not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it
could have a negative impact on the performance of the Common Stock. The Fund could be required to prepay the principal amount of any Borrowings. Such redemption or prepayment would likely result in the Fund seeking to terminate early all or a

asset during a specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. A total return swap 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 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 Nuveen Asset Management to assume risk, without the complications of buying the component securities from what may not always be the most liquid of markets. </FONT></P>

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 exposure to the credit

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 deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. The Fund

generally the Fund would have to pay the buyer the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. As the protection seller, the Fund

security transactions. If Nuveen Asset Management 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 Fund is subject
to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The Fund generally may only close out a swap, cap, floor, collar or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-party</FONT> 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>

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.e., those with remaining maturities averaging
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-30</FONT> years) or relate to debt securities whose prices Nuveen Asset Management 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 Stock and its Preferred Shares. See &#147;Tax&nbsp;Matters.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If futures 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 (e.g., 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

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:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Successful use of futures by the Fund also is subject to Nuveen Asset Management&#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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will not purchase futures unless it has
segregated or earmarked cash, government securities or high grade liquid debt equal to the contract price of the futures less any margin on deposit, or unless the purchase of a put option covers the long futures position. The Fund will not sell
futures unless the Fund owns the instruments underlying the futures or owns options on such instruments or owns a portfolio whose market price may be expected to move in tandem with the market price of the instruments or index underlying the
futures. If the Fund engages in transactions involving the purchase or writing of put and call options on debt securities or indexes, the Fund will not purchase these options if more than 5% of its assets would be invested in the premiums for these
options and it will only write &#147;covered&#148; or &#147;secured&#148; options, where the Fund holds the securities or cash required to be delivered upon exercise, with such cash being maintained in a segregated account. These requirements and
limitations may limit the Fund&#146;s ability to engage in hedging transactions. So long as any Rating Agency is rating the Fund&#146;s Preferred Shares, the Fund will only engage in futures or options transactions in accordance with the
then-current guidelines of such rating agencies, and only after it has received written confirmation from the Rating Agencies, as appropriate, that these transactions would not impair the ratings then assigned by the Rating Agencies to such shares.

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.
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

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

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

to a repurchase agreement, it simultaneously agrees to resell and redeliver such securities to the seller, who also simultaneously agrees to buy back the securities at a fixed price and time. This assures a predetermined yield for the Fund during
its holding period, since the resale price is always greater than the purchase price and reflects an agreed-upon market rate. Such actions afford an opportunity for the Fund to invest temporarily available cash. The Fund may enter into repurchase
agreements only with respect to obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; certificates of deposit; or bankers&#146; acceptances in which the Fund may invest. Repurchase agreements may be considered loans to the seller,
collateralized by the underlying securities. The risk to the Fund is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon sum on the repurchase date; in the event of default, the repurchase agreement provides that the Fund is entitled to sell
the underlying collateral. If the value of the collateral declines after the agreement is entered into, and if the seller defaults under a repurchase agreement when the value of the underlying collateral is less than the repurchase price, the Fund
could incur a loss of both principal and interest. NFALLC monitors the value of the collateral at the time the action is entered into and at all times during the term of the repurchase agreement. NFALLC does so in an effort to determine that the
value of the collateral always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price to be paid to the Fund. If the seller were to be subject to a federal bankruptcy proceeding, the ability of the Fund to liquidate the collateral could be delayed or

Fund may invest in municipal securities and other instruments that, at the time of investment, are illiquid (<I>i.e.</I>, securities that are not readily marketable). For this purpose, illiquid securities may include, but are not limited to,
restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may only be resold pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, that are deemed to be illiquid, and certain repurchase
agreements. The Board or its delegate has the ultimate authority to determine which securities are liquid or illiquid. The Board has delegated to Nuveen Asset Management the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> determination of the illiquidity of any security held by the Fund, although it has retained oversight and ultimate responsibility for such determinations. No
definitive liquidity criteria are used. The Board has directed Nuveen Asset Management when making liquidity determinations to look for such factors as (i)&nbsp;the nature of the market for a security (including the institutional private resale
market; the frequency of trades and quotes for the security; the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security; the amount of time normally needed to dispose of the security; and the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of
transfer), (ii)&nbsp;the terms of certain securities or other instruments allowing for the disposition to a third party or the issuer thereof (<I>e.g.</I>, certain repurchase obligations and demand instruments), and (iii)&nbsp;other relevant
factors. The assets used to cover OTC derivatives used by the Fund will be considered illiquid until the OTC derivatives are sold to qualified dealers who agree that the Fund may repurchase them at a maximum price to be calculated by a formula set
forth in an agreement. The &#147;cover&#148; for an OTC derivative subject to this procedure would be considered illiquid only to the extent that the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the derivative.

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 fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or its delegatee. If, through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of liquid securities, the Fund should be in a position where
more than 50% of the value of its net assets is invested in illiquid securities, including restricted securities that are not readily marketable, the Fund will take such steps as are deemed advisable by Nuveen Asset Management, if any, to protect

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Inverse Floating Rate Securities</I>. Inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as &#147;inverse floaters&#148;) 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 formed by a third
party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of beneficial interests or securities: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender option bonds) and
inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters or residual interest securities). Both classes of beneficial interests are represented by certificates. The short-term floating rate securities have first priority on the
cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the special purpose trust. Typically, a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, grants the floating rate security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender
their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives periodic fees. The holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that
bears interest at the prevailing short-term, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> rate. However, the institution granting the tender option will not be obligated to accept tendered

short-term floaters in the event of certain defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the bond issuer. For its inverse floating rate investment, the Fund receives the
residual cash flow from the special purpose trust. Because the holder of the short-term floater is generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security, the Fund as the holder of the inverse floater assumes the interest rate cash flow risk
and the market value risk associated with the municipal security deposited into the special purpose 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 in relation to the value of the residual inverse floaters that are issued by the special purpose trust. In addition, all voting rights and decisions to be made with respect to
any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held in the special purpose trust are passed through to the Fund, as the holder of the residual inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because increases in the interest rate on the short-term floaters reduce the residual interest paid on inverse floaters, and because
fluctuations in the value of the municipal bond deposited in the special purpose trust affect the value of the inverse floater only, and not the value of the short-term floater issued by the trust, and because fluctuations in the value of the
municipal bond deposited in the special purpose trust affect the value of the inverse floater only, and not the value of the short-term floater issued by the trust, inverse floaters&#146; value is generally more volatile than that of fixed rate
bonds. The market price of inverse floating rate securities is generally more volatile than the underlying securities due to the leveraging effect of this ownership structure. These securities 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 tend to out-perform the market of fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile, inverse floaters typically
offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity based upon, among other things, the liquidity
of the underlying securities deposited in a special purpose trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities
issued by special purpose trusts that have recourse to the Fund. In Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s discretion, the Fund may enter into a separate shortfall and forbearance agreement with the third party sponsor of a special purpose trust. The Fund
may enter into such recourse agreements (i) when the liquidity provider to the special purpose trust requires such an agreement because the level of leverage in the trust exceeds the level that the liquidity provider is willing to support absent
such an agreement; and/or (ii) to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the 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 sponsor of such inverse floater, 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.
Such agreements may expose the Fund to a risk of loss that exceeds its investment in the inverse floating rate securities. The Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets with its custodian in accordance with the 1940 Act to cover its obligations
with respect to its investments in special purpose trusts. Absent a shortfall and forbearance agreement, the Fund would not be required to make such a reimbursement. If the Fund chooses not to enter into such an agreement, the special purpose trust
could be liquidated and the Fund could incur a loss. See also &#147;Segregation of Assets&#148; in this SAI. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may

market environments, auctions have failed, which adversely affects the liquidity and price of auction rate securities, and are unlikely to resume. Provided that the auction mechanism is successful, auction rate securities usually permit the holder
to sell the securities in an auction at par value at specified intervals. The dividend is reset by &#147;Dutch&#148; auction in which bids are made by broker-dealers and other institutions for a certain amount of securities at a specified minimum
yield. The dividend rate set by the auction is the lowest interest or dividend rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an
auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities. Moreover, between auctions, there may be no secondary market for these securities, and sales conducted on a secondary market may not be on terms favorable to the seller. Auction rate
securities may be called by the issuer. Thus, with respect to liquidity and price stability, auction rate securities may differ substantially from cash equivalents, notwithstanding the frequency of auctions and the credit quality of the security.
The Fund&#146;s investments in auction rate securities of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds are subject to the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and
other fees paid by such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds in addition to the advisory fees payable directly by the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may buy and sell municipal securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date. On such
transactions, the payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the commitment. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the
Fund is required under the rules of the SEC to maintain in a separate account liquid assets, consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities having a market value at all times of at least equal to the amount of any delayed payment
commitment. Income generated by any such assets which provide taxable income for federal income tax purposes is includable in the taxable income of the Fund and, to the extent distributed, will be taxable distributions to shareholders. The Fund may
enter into contracts to purchase securities on a forward basis (<I>i.e.</I>, where settlement will occur more than 60&nbsp;days from the date of the transaction) only to the extent that the Fund specifically collateralizes such obligations with a
security that is expected to be called or mature within 60 days before or after the settlement date of the forward transaction. The commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward basis may involve an element of risk
because no interest accrues on the bonds prior to settlement and at the time of delivery the market value may be less than their cost. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Zero Coupon Bonds</I>. A zero coupon bond is a bond that typically does not pay interest either for the entire life of the obligation
or for an initial period after the issuance of the obligation. 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 </FONT></P>

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:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, NFALLC 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, NFALLC 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Structured Notes</I>. The Fund may utilize structured notes and similar instruments for investment purposes and also for
hedging purposes. Structured notes are privately negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a benchmark asset, market or interest rate (an &#147;embedded index&#148;), such as
selected securities, an index of securities or specified interest rates, or the differential performance of two assets or markets. The terms of such structured instruments normally provide that their principal and/or interest payments are to be
adjusted upwards or downwards (but not ordinarily below zero) to reflect changes in the embedded index while the structured instruments are outstanding. As a result, the interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a structured product may
vary widely, depending upon a variety of factors, including the volatility of the embedded index and the effect of changes in the embedded index on principal and/or interest payments. The rate of return on structured notes may be determined by
applying a multiplier to the performance or differential performance of the referenced index or indices or other assets. Application of a multiplier involves leverage that will serve to magnify the potential for gain and the risk of loss. These
types of investments may generate taxable income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>DEFENSIVE POSITION; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INVEST-UP</FONT> PERIOD

which the net proceeds of the offering of Common Stock are being invested, the Fund may deviate from its investment policies and objective and may not be able to achieve its investment objective. Moreover, during temporary defensive periods
(<I>e.g.</I>, times when, in Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s opinion, temporary imbalances of supply and demand or other temporary dislocations in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> securities 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, including the period during which the proceeds of the offering are being invested, the Fund may invest any percentage
of its net assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term debt securities that may be either <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> or taxable. The Fund intends to invest in taxable short-term investments only in the
event that suitable <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> short-term investments are not available at reasonable prices and yields. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Tax-exempt</FONT> short-term investments include various obligations

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in securities of other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-</FONT> or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily
in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund generally expects that it may invest in other investment companies either during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash, such as the period shortly
after the Fund receives the proceeds of the offering of its Common Stock, or during periods when there is a shortage of attractive municipal securities available in the market. The Fund may invest in investment companies that are advised by NFALLC,
Nuveen Asset Management or their respective affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC. The Fund has not received or applied for, nor does it intend to apply for, any such relief. As a
shareholder in an investment company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company&#146;s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the Fund&#146;s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested.
Shareholders of Common Stock would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Nuveen Asset Management will take expenses into account when evaluating the investment merits of an investment in the investment company relative to available municipal security instruments. In addition,
because the securities of other investment companies may be leveraged and subject to the same leverage risk, the Fund may indirectly be subject to those risks described in the Prospectus. Market value will tend to fluctuate more than the yield
generated by unleveraged shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>PORTFOLIO TRADING AND TURNOVER RATE </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Portfolio trading may be undertaken to accomplish the Fund&#146;s investment objective. In addition, a security may be sold and another of
comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what Nuveen Asset Management 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 securities may cause a temporarily low price for such securities, as compared with other securities of like quality and characteristics. The Fund may also
engage to a limited extent in short-term trading consistent with its investment objective. 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:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may engage in portfolio
trading when considered appropriate, but short-term trading will not be used as the primary means of achieving the Fund&#146;s investment objective. Although the Fund cannot accurately predict its annual portfolio turnover rate, it is generally not
expected to exceed 25% under normal circumstances. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate was 4%. However, there are no limits on the Fund&#146;s rate of portfolio turnover, and investments may be sold
without regard to length of time held when, in Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s opinion, investment considerations warrant such action. A higher portfolio turnover rate would result in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other
transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund. Although these commissions and expenses are not reflected in the Fund&#146;s &#147;Total Annual Expenses&#148; in the Prospectus, they will be reflected in the Fund&#146;s total return. 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. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; </FONT></P>

person&#148; is defined in the 1940 Act) and ten of whom are not interested persons (referred to herein as &#147;independent directors&#148;). None of the independent directors has ever been a director, trustee or employee of, or consultant to,
Nuveen Investments, NFALLC, Nuveen Asset Management, or their affiliates. The Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, the Class I directors serving until the 2019 annual meeting, the Class II directors serving until the
2017 annual meeting and the Class III directors serving until the 2018 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

Fund has preferred shares outstanding, two of the Fund&#146;s directors will be elected by the holders of such preferred shares, voting separately as a class. The remaining directors of the Fund are elected by holders of Common Stock and preferred
shares, voting separately as a class. In the event that the Fund fails to pay dividends on outstanding preferred shares for two years, holders of preferred shares are entitled to elect a majority of directors of the Fund. The officers of the Fund
serve annual terms through August of each year and are elected on an annual basis. The names, business addresses and years of birth of the directors 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 are set forth below. The directors of the Fund are directors or trustees, as the case may be, of 94 Nuveen-sponsored open-end mutual funds (the &#147;Nuveen Mutual

trustees or directors of the Nuveen Funds, as applicable, are each referred to herein as &#147;Directors&#148;) oversees the operations and management of the Nuveen Fund (the &#147;Nuveen Funds&#148;), including the duties performed for the Nuveen
Funds by NFALLC and each Nuveen Fund&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-adviser,</FONT> as applicable. The Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of directors who serve on the board of every fund
in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the Directors 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 Nuveen Funds&#146; business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the Directors 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 </FONT></P>

diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Directors. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><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 Directors 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 NFALLC and other service providers.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><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 director. 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 Directors have elected
William J. Schneider 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
Directors are carried into effect; and (iii) maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings of the Directors and the shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><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 Directors to focus on particular operations or issues
affecting the Nuveen Funds, 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 Directors among the different committees allows the Directors to gain additional and different perspectives of the Fund&#146;s operations. The Board has established six
standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Closed-End Funds Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board also
may also from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises. The membership and functions of the standing committees are summarized below. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board. The

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on each Nuveen Fund&#146;s shares including, but not limited to, regular
and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The members of the Dividend Committee are William C. Hunter, Chair, Margaret L. Wolff and Terence J. Toth. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Dividend Committee

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 committee&#146;s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Nuveen Funds
in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Nuveen Funds and their 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 Nuveen Funds&#146; 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 Nuveen Funds&#146; 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 Investments 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 committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by
the Board. The members of the Compliance Committee are William C. Hunter, Albin F. Moschner, John K. Nelson, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale, and Margaret L. Wolff. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Compliance Committee met five (5)
times. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Audit Committee assists the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies,

requirements relating to the Nuveen Funds&#146; financial statements; the independent auditors&#146; qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the Nuveen Funds 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 Nuveen Funds&#146; portfolios. Subject to the Board&#146;s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Nuveen
Funds&#146; pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveen&#146;s internal valuation group which provides regular reports to the committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Nuveen Funds&#146; securities brought to its attention
and considers the risks to the Nuveen Funds in assessing the possible resolutions to these matters. The Audit Committee also may consider any financial risk exposures for the Nuveen Funds in conjunction with performing its functions. </FONT></P>

the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. Although the unitary and committee structure has been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance
Committee believes the structure has provided efficient and effective governance, the 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 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 Funds&#146; business. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><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 Directors; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are be able to communicate in
writing with members of the Board; and periodically reviews and makes recommendations about any appropriate changes to director compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from
various sources, including suggestions from Fund security holders, 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 60606. The
Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Directors and reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Directors. 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 director candidate, independence from NFALLC, sub-advisors, 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 directors 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 committee operates under a written
charter adopted and approved by the Board. This committee is composed of the independent directors of the Nuveen Funds. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are William J. Schneider, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William&nbsp;C. Hunter,

paid to each Director by the Fund that has been deferred and (3) the total compensation paid to each Director by the Nuveen Funds during the calendar year ended December 31, 2016. The Fund does not have a retirement or pension plan. The officers and
directors affiliated with Nuveen Investments serve without any compensation from the Fund. Certain of the Nuveen Funds have a deferred compensation plan (the &#147;Compensation Plan&#148;) that permits any Director who is not an &#147;interested
person&#148; of certain Nuveen Funds to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as a director. The deferred compensation of a participating Director is credited to the book reserve account of a Nuveen Fund when the
compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Director. The value of the Director&#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 a Director&#146;s deferral account, the Director may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of five years. The Fund will not be
liable for any other Nuveen Fund&#146;s obligations to make distributions under the Compensation Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

purposes, leverage includes the funds&#146; use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion
of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust&#146;s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by NFALLC as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining net assets in certain
circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute &#147;eligible assets.&#148; Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or
assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with NFALLC&#146;s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of October 31, 2016, the complex-level fee rate for the

potential for conflicts of interest exists when a portfolio manager manages other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies to the Fund (&#147;Similar Accounts&#148;). Potential conflicts may include, for example, conflicts between

clients&#146; portfolios is organized according to investment strategies. Generally, client portfolios with similar strategies are managed using the same objectives, approach and philosophy. Therefore, portfolio holdings, relative position sizes and
sector exposures tend to be similar across similar portfolios which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NFALLC
may receive more compensation with respect to certain Similar Accounts than that received with respect to the Fund or may receive compensation based in part on the performance of certain Similar Accounts. This may create a potential conflict of
interest for the Portfolio Manager by providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example, placing securities transactions. Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities
transactions and allocation of limited investment opportunities. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability, and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could
raise a potential conflict of interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Nuveen Asset Management has policies and procedures designed to manage these
conflicts described above such as allocation of investment opportunities to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example, orders for the same equity security are aggregated on a continual
basis throughout each trading day consistent with Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an

potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The management of multiple accounts may result in a
portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a
particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an
allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to many of its clients&#146; accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders,
consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades
through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-simultaneous,</FONT> transactions for the Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the
security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Some clients are
subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as
the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some
accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> management responsibilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

statistical and other services to Nuveen Asset Management. 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 Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s own

cannot be filled completely, allocations will generally be made on a pro rata basis. An order may not be allocated on a pro 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) consideration is given to an account with specialized investment policies that coincide with the particulars of a specific investment; (iii)&nbsp;pro rata allocation would result in <FONT

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 Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s management outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s larger management activities and its need to

asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act), bears to the aggregate amount of such Borrowings represented by

individuals. Distributions in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the shares (reducing that basis
accordingly), and any remaining distributions would generally be treated as a capital gain. To requalify for treatment as a RIC in a subsequent taxable year, the Fund would be required to satisfy the RIC qualification requirements for that year and
to distribute any earnings and profits from any year in which the Fund failed to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC. In addition, if the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, it would generally be required to

from municipal securities). A similar disallowance rule also applies to interest expense paid or incurred by the Fund, if any. Any such disallowed deductions will offset the Fund&#146;s gross exempt-interest income for purposes of calculating the
dividends that the Fund can report as exempt-interest dividends. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Fund&#146;s shares is not deductible to the extent the interest relates to exempt-interest dividends. Under
rules used by the IRS for determining when borrowed funds are considered used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying particular assets, the purchase or ownership of shares may be considered to have been made with borrowed funds even though such
funds are not directly used for the purchase or ownership of such shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Distributions to shareholders of net investment
income received by the Fund from taxable investments, if any, including temporary taxable investments, and of net short-term capital gains realized by the Fund, if any, will be taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions by the

which such distributions are 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. Distributions, if any, in excess of the Fund&#146;s earnings and profits will first
reduce the adjusted tax basis of a shareholder&#146;s shares and, after that basis has been reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain to the shareholder (assuming the shares are held as capital assets). As long as the Fund qualifies as a RIC

Fund, although otherwise exempt from federal income tax, will be taxable to shareholders whose tax liabilities are determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will annually provide a report indicating the percentage of the
Fund&#146;s income attributable to municipal securities and the portion thereof the interest on which is a tax preference item. 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 all distributions 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. Bonds issued in 2009 or 2010 generally will not be treated
as private activity bonds, and interest earned on such bonds (and Fund distributions consisting of such interest) generally will not be treated as a tax preference item and generally will not result in or increase a corporate shareholder&#146;s
liability for the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Tax-exempt income, including exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund,

of Common Stock who hold their shares as capital assets. Generally a shareholder&#146;s gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year even though the increase in value in such Common Stock
may be at least partly attributable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> interest income. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the same rates applicable to ordinary income. For
noncorporate taxpayers, however, long-term capital gains are taxed at rates of up to 20%. Short-term capital gains and other ordinary income are currently taxed to noncorporate shareholders at ordinary income rates. If a shareholder sells or
otherwise disposes of shares of Common Stock before holding them for six months, any loss on the sale or disposition will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions to the shareholder of long-term
capital gain (including any amount credited to the shareholder as undistributed capital gain) or disallowed to the extent of exempt interest dividends received by a shareholder. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of (or upon entering into a
contract or option to repurchase) shares of the Fund will be disallowed to the extent those shares of the Fund are replaced (including, without limitation, under the Plan) by substantially identical shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days
beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition of the original shares, or to the extent the shareholder enters into a contract or option to repurchase shares within such period. In that event, the basis of the replacement

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 evaluates 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. The issue credit rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a financial obligation, inasmuch

on unaudited financial information. Credit ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or based on other circumstances. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Issue credit ratings can be either long term or short term. Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 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. The result is a dual rating, in which the short-term rating addresses the put feature, in addition to the usual long-term rating. Medium-term notes are assigned long-term ratings. </FONT></P>

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:4%"><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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">to-be-purchased</FONT></FONT> 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:4%"><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:4%"><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:4%"><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 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:4%"><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>

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:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

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

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

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,

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><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

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 the Adviser 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>
