Annual Meeting and collectively, the Annual Meetings), and at any and all adjournments thereof.
Because of the public health
concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, which will be conducted online via live webcast. You will be able to attend and
participate in the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions prior to and during the meeting by visiting: www.meetingcenter.io/285265545 at the meeting date and time. If your shares are registered in your name,
to participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to log on using the control number from your proxy card or meeting notice. The control number can be found in the shaded box. The password for the meeting is NUV2021. There is no physical location
for the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the
Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet. To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your Fund holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You
must contact the bank or broker who holds your shares to obtain your legal proxy. Requests for registration must be labeled as Legal Proxy and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, three (3) business days prior to the
meeting date. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. Requests for registration should be directed to us by emailing an image of your legal proxy to
shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.
On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by shareholders on the
proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a properly executed proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholders of a Fund who
execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting at the Annual
Meeting. A prior proxy can also be revoked by voting again through the toll-free number or the Internet address listed in the proxy card. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders
in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with
respect to each matter:

Opportunity, Senior Income and Short Duration; and Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP Shares) for Virginia Municipal are collectively referred to herein as Preferred Shares.

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees by holders of Preferred Shares (for Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity,
Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, Maryland Municipal, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Senior Income, Short Duration and Virginia Municipal), 331/3% of the
Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person (virtually) or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person (virtually) at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that
Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e.,
shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in street name, as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary
voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. The proposal described in this Joint Proxy Statement is considered a routine matter, and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who
do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms on the proposal in the discretion of such broker-dealer firms.
Pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), certain Preferred Shares held in street name as to which voting instructions
have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, and that would otherwise be
treated as broker non-votes, may be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal. Rule
452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of
such shares with respect to such item, (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item and (iii) for any proposal as to which
holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares vote as a single class, holders of Common Shares approve the proposal. For the
4
purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares voted and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares voted
against the item. Rule 452 proportionate voting applies only to certain auction rate and remarketed preferred securities. AMTP Shares are not remarketed, thus the proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 do not apply to these shares. The
proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to MFP Shares and TFP Shares depending on their mode. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to VRDP Shares depending on whether such shares are being remarketed during their
current rate period. For the proposal described in this Joint Proxy Statement, the Funds do not expect that Rule 452 will apply to any series of Preferred Shares based on the current mode or rate period, as applicable, of the Preferred Shares. The
terms and conditions of each series of Preferred Shares, as well as the rights and privileges of each mode, if any, are set forth in the Statement Establishing and Designating the Rights and Preferences for each series of Preferred Shares, and any
supplement or appendix thereto.
Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote
your shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.
For each Fund, because
the number of persons nominated for election as Board Members in accordance with the Funds By-Laws equals the number of Board Members to be elected, the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest
number of affirmative votes) of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect each Board Member of that Fund. For example, if there are three nominees for election to the Board and three Board Members to be
elected, a vote by plurality means the three nominees with the highest number of affirmative votes, regardless of the votes withheld for the nominees, will be elected. Because the election of Board Members in this case does not require that a
minimum percentage of a Funds outstanding Common Shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the
election of that Funds Board Members by holders of Common Shares.
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 29, 2021 will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional vote held. As of January 29, 2021, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

Board Member Investments in the Funds
In order to
create an appropriate identity of interests between Board Members and shareholders, the Boards of Trustees of the Nuveen funds have adopted a governance principle pursuant to which each Board Member is expected to invest, either directly or on a
deferred basis, at least the equivalent of one year of compensation in the funds in the Nuveen fund complex.
The dollar range of equity securities
beneficially owned by each Board Member in each Fund and all Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Member as of December 31, 2020 is set forth in Appendix A. The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member and by
the Board Members and officers of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2020 is also set forth in Appendix A. As of January 29, 2021, each Board Members individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than
1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of January 29, 2021, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

Independent Board Members also received a fee of $3,000 per day for site visits to entities that provided services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no Board meeting was held. When ad hoc committees were organized, the Nominating and Governance
Committee at the time of formation determined compensation to be paid to the members of such committee; however, in general, such fees were $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at ad hoc committee meetings where in-person attendance was required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance was not required. The annual
retainer, fees and expenses were allocated among the Nuveen funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management might have, in its discretion, established a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund.
Effective January 1, 2020, Independent Board Members receive a $195,000 annual retainer, increased to $200,000 as of January 1, 2021, plus they receive
(a) a fee of $6,750 per day, increased to $7,000 per day as of January 1, 2021, for attendance in person or by telephone at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board; (b) a fee of $3,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by
telephone at special, non-regularly scheduled Board meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at
16
such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; (c) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Audit Committee
meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not
required; (d) a fee of $5,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and
$2,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; (e) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at
Dividend Committee meetings; (f) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at all other committee meetings ($1,000 for shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is required
and $250 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required, and $100 per meeting when the Executive
Committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings; provided that no fees are received for meetings held on days on which regularly scheduled Board meetings are held; and (g) a fee of
$2,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Closed-End Funds Committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,000 per meeting for
attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; provided that no fees are received for meetings held on days on which regularly scheduled Board meetings are
held. In addition to the payments described above, the Chair of the Board receives $90,000, increased to $100,000 as of January 1, 2021, and the chairpersons of the Audit Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and
Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Closed-End Funds Committee receive $15,000 each as additional retainers. Independent Board Members also receive a fee of $3,000
per day, increased to $3,500 per day as of January 1, 2021, for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no Board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized, the Nominating and Governance
Committee will at the time of formation determine compensation to be paid to the members of such committee; however, in general, such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at ad hoc committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required. The annual
retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the Nuveen funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. In certain instances fees and expenses will be
allocated only to those Nuveen funds that are discussed at a given meeting. In certain circumstances, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board may hold in-person
meetings by telephonic or videographic means and be compensated at the in-person rate.
The Funds do not have
retirement or pension plans. Certain Nuveen funds (the Participating Funds) participate in a deferred compensation plan (the Deferred Compensation Plan) that permits an Independent Board Member to elect to defer receipt of
all or a portion of his or her compensation as an Independent Board Member. The deferred compensation of a participating Independent Board Member is credited to a book reserve account of the Participating Fund when the compensation would otherwise
have been paid to such Independent Board Member. The value of an Independent Board Members deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in
shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen funds. At the time for commencing distributions from an Independent Board Members deferral account, the Independent Board
17
Member may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of five years. The Participating Fund will not be liable for any other funds obligations to make distributions under
the Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Funds have no employees. The officers of the Funds and the Board Members of each Fund who are not Independent Board
Members serve without any compensation from the Funds. The Funds Chief Compliance Officers (CCO) compensation, which is composed of base salary and incentive compensation, is paid by the Adviser, with review and input by the
Board. The Funds reimburse the Adviser for an allocable portion of the Advisers cost of the CCOs incentive compensation.
18
The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, the aggregate compensation paid by each Fund to the
Independent Board Member/nominee for its last fiscal year.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The Board of each Fund oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including the duties performed for the Fund by the Adviser. The Board has adopted a
unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of board members who serves on the board of every fund in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the Board Members seek to provide effective governance through establishing
a board the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, diversity (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), independence and experience to oversee the Funds business. With this overall
framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the Board Members consider not only the candidates particular background, skills and experience, among other
things, but also whether such background, skills and experience enhance the Boards diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Board Members. The
Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board generally benefits from diversity of background (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), skills, experience and views among Board Members, and considers this a factor in
evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity.
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 Board Members across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation and risk management). The Board
believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures, which increases the Boards knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The
unitary structure also enhances the Boards influence and oversight over the Adviser and other service providers.
In an effort to enhance the
independence of the Board, the Board also has a Chair who is an Independent Board Member. The Board recognizes that a chair 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 Boards focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chair may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests
arising from a position with Fund management. Accordingly, the Board Members have elected Mr. Toth as the independent Chair of the Board. Pursuant to the Funds By-Laws, the Chair shall perform all
duties incident to the office of Chair of the Board and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the Board Members or the By-Laws.
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 Board Members to focus on
particular operations or issues affecting the 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
23
well as certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of Board Members among the different committees allows the Board Members to gain additional
and different perspectives of a Funds operations. The Board has established six standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the
Nominating and Governance Committee and the Closed-End Funds Committee. The Board 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.
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of
the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Toth, Chair, Mr. Moschner and Ms. Wolff. The number of Executive Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last
fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
Dividend Committee. The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on each Funds
shares, including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The Dividend Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Dividend Committee
are Mr. Young, Chair, Dr. Hunter, Mr. Moschner and Ms. Wolff. The number of Dividend Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
Audit Committee. The Board has an Audit Committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act),
that is composed of Independent Board Members who are also independent as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. The
Audit Committee assists the Board in: the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices of the Funds, and the audits of the financial statements of the Funds; the quality and integrity of the financial
statements of the Funds; the Funds compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Funds financial statements; the independent auditors qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of
the 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 Funds portfolios. Subject to the Boards general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee
addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Funds pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveens internal valuation group which provides regular reports to the Audit Committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the
Funds securities brought to its attention, and considers the risks to the Funds in assessing the possible resolutions of these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Funds in conjunction with
performing its functions.
To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives and reviews annual and semi-annual reports and has regular
meetings with the external auditors for the Funds and the internal audit group at Nuveen. The Audit Committee also may review, in a general manner, the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and
risk management as well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Funds financial statements. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter (the Charter) adopted and approved by the
Board, which Charter conforms to the listing standards of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. Members of the Audit Committee
24
are independent (as set forth in the Charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board Members, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit
Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Stone, Chair, Mr. Evans, Dr. Hunter, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Moschner and Ms. Stockdale, each of whom is an Independent Board Member of the Funds. A copy of the
Charter is available at www.nuveen.com/fund-governance. The number of Audit Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee. The Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee (the Compliance Committee) is responsible for the oversight of
compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds that are not otherwise under or within the jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to
address the Funds compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee: reviews the policies and procedures relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full
Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Funds arise from time to time; evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any
special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or regulatory matters as requested by the Board.
In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight, including, but not limited to, the oversight of risks related to investments and operations. Such risks include, among other things,
exposures to: particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities; risks related to product structure elements, such as leverage; and techniques that may be used to address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing issues brought
to the Compliance Committees attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Funds in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the
anticipated benefits to the 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 Funds CCO 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 Funds and other service providers compliance programs as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. The Compliance Committee also receives reports from the investment oversight group of Nuveen regarding
various investment risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates in discussions with management regarding certain matters relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage and hedging. The investment oversight group
therefore also reports to the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other things, Fund performance and the various drivers of such performance. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in conjunction with the Compliance Committee
oversees matters relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the
Compliance Committee are Ms. Wolff, Chair, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Toth and Mr. Young. The number of Compliance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
25
Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking,
identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and
processes, the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. Although the unitary Board and committee
structures have been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance Committee believes these structures have provided efficient and effective governance, the Nominating and Governance Committee recognizes that, as demands on the Board
evolve over time (such as through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the Nominating and Governance Committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their
processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and
committee structures, their performance and functions, and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Boards governance over the Funds business.
In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things: makes recommendations concerning the continuing education of Board Members; monitors
performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with Board Members; and periodically reviews and makes recommendations about any appropriate
changes to Board Member compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing
to William Siffermann, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members, and each
nominee is evaluated using the same standards. However, the Nominating and Governance Committee reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Board Members. In considering a candidates
qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the time requirements for due diligence meetings with internal and external
sub-advisers and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser, sub-advisers, underwriters or other
service providers, including any affiliates of those entities. These skill and experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills, diversity and experience,
in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent Board Members at the time of consideration of the
nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence, governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and with management and yet
maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board Members. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Funds website at
www.nuveen.com/fund-governance., and is composed entirely of Independent Board Members, who are also
26
independent as defined by NYSE or NASDAQ listing standards, as applicable. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mr. Toth, Chair, Mr. Evans,
Dr. Hunter, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Ms. Stockdale, Mr. Stone, Mr. Thornton, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Nominating and Governance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year
is shown in Appendix C.
Closed-End Funds Committee. The
Closed-End Funds Committee was established by the Board in 2012 and is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the Nuveen funds that are registered as closed-end management investment companies (Closed-End Funds). The Closed-End Funds Committee may review and evaluate
matters related to the formation and the initial presentation to the Board of any new Closed-End Fund and may review and evaluate any matters relating to any existing
Closed-End Fund. The Closed-End Funds Committee receives updates on the secondary closed-end fund market and evaluates the
premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, at each quarterly meeting. The Closed-End Funds Committee reviews, among other things, the
premium and discount trends in the broader closed-end fund market, by asset category and by closed-end fund; the historical total return performance data for the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, based on net asset value and price over various periods; the volatility trends in the market; the use of leverage by the Nuveen
closed-end funds, including the Funds; the distribution data of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, and as compared to peer averages; and a summary of
Common Share issuances, if any, and share repurchases, if any, during the applicable quarter by the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds. The Closed-End Funds
Committee regularly engages in more in-depth discussions of premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds. Additionally, the
Closed-End Funds Committee members participate in workshops to explore, among other things, actions to address discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, potential share
repurchases and available leverage strategies and their use. The Closed-End Funds Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the
Closed-End Funds Committee are Mr. Evans, Chair, Dr. Hunter, Mr. Toth, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Closed-End Funds Committee
meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
Board Member Attendance. The number of regular
quarterly meetings and special meetings held by the Board of each Fund during the Funds last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Funds Board meetings and
the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of shareholders of the Funds and the number of
Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds website at www.nuveen.com/fund-governance.
Board Diversification and Board Member Qualifications. In determining that a particular Board Member was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board
considered each Board Members background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that Board Members need to have the ability to critically
review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board
believes each Board Member satisfies this standard. An effective Board Member may achieve this ability
27
through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment
funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a
summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each Board Member should serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills
of Board Members are pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), do not constitute holding out the Board or any Board Member as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater
responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee of each Board is responsible for the oversight and
monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audit of the financial statements of each Fund, (2) the quality and integrity of the Funds financial statements and (3) the independent
registered public accounting firms qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the Audit Committee reviews each Funds annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered public
accounting firm, and the Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of each Funds financial and internal controls. The Audit Committee also
selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Funds independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is currently composed of five Independent Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved
36
by each Board. Each Audit Committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the NYSE, NASDAQ, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
of the SEC.
The Audit Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Funds independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent registered public accounting firm that each Funds financial
statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards (SAS) No. 114 (The Auditors Communication With Those Charged With Governance), which supersedes SAS No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). Each Funds independent registered public accounting firm
provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), and the Audit Committee discussed with representatives of the
independent registered public accounting firm their firms independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the Audit Committees responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do
not ensure, that each Funds financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on the Audit Committees review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the representations of management and the report of the independent registered
public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has recommended that the audited financial statements be included in each Funds Annual Report.
The current members of the Audit Committee are:
Jack B. Evans
William C. Hunter
Albin F. Moschner
John K. Nelson
Judith M. Stockdale
Carole E. Stone, Chair

Audit and Related Fees. The following tables provide the aggregate fees billed during each Funds last two

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee
must approve each Funds independent registered public accounting firms engagements (i) with the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and Adviser Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm for
each Fund and the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected
to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee Chair for his or her verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit
Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.
The Audit Committee has approved in advance all
audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provided to each Fund and to the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial
reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm to each Fund or the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to
the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.

Management, L.P. (collectively, Saba) demanding that each such Fund rescind the Funds by-law provisions pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common
shares in a control share acquisition shall have the same voting rights as other common shareholders only to the extent authorized by shareholders (the Control Share By-Law) and commence judicial
action against the Board Members to ensure that the Control Share By-Law is withdrawn. Also on January 14, 2021, Saba filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York against certain Nuveen Closed-End Funds, including Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Short Duration and Senior Income, and the Board Members, seeking a declaration that the Control Share By-Law violates the 1940 Act, rescission of the Control Share By-Law and a permanent injunction against applying the Control Share
By-Law.
General

To email the Fund(s), please visit www.nuveen.com/contact-us.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. Under each Funds By-Laws, the
Annual Meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may, by announcement of the person appointed to serve as chair of the meeting, be adjourned with respect to one or more or all matters to be considered at the meeting from time to time to a
designated time and place. The appointed chair may adjourn any Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT
THE VIRTUAL MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
