October 13 2022 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
The Boards of Trustees of Nuveen Ohio Quality Municipal Income
Fund (NYSE: NUO), Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund
(NYSE: NKG), and Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund (NYSE: NZF)
have approved a proposal to reorganize the funds. The proposed
reorganizations, if approved by shareholders, would combine NUO and
NKG into NZF. The reorganizations are intended to create a larger
fund with lower operating expenses, enhanced earnings potential,
and increased trading volume on the exchange for common shares.
The proposed reorganizations for the funds are subject to
certain conditions, including necessary approval by the funds’
shareholders. NUO and NZF will hold a Special Meeting of
Shareholders to consider approval of the reorganization proposal on
February 8, 2023. NKG will hold its 2023 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to consider approval of the reorganization proposal
and to elect Board Members on February 8, 2023. Detailed
information on the proposed reorganizations and the candidates for
election to NKG’s Board will be contained in proxy materials
expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
To be considered for presentation at NKG’s 2023 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders, shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule
14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must be received at
the offices of that fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60606, no later than October 28, 2022. A shareholder wishing to
provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of a
proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 for NKG’s
2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must, pursuant to the fund’s
by-laws, submit such written notice to the fund no later than
November 10, 2022. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean
that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.
