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 each Fund exceptother than California Value, California Value 2, New Jersey Value and Pennsylvania Value), 331/3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person 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 “brokernon-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 under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), 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.

VRDPPursuant to Rule 452 of the 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 “brokernon-votes”non-votes,” may pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of VRDPPreferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of VRDP Shares of the Fund who have voted on that item.proposal. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of VRDPPreferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the VRDPPreferred Shares or shares of a series of VRDPPreferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item, (ii) less than 10% of the VRDPPreferred Shares or shares of a series of VRDPPreferred 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 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 depending on their mode. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to VRDP shares depending on their current rate period.

For each Fund, because the number of persons nominated for election as Board Members in accordance with the Fund’s 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 theeach Board MembersMember of that Fund. For purposesexample, 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 determining the approvalaffirmative votes, regardless of the proposal to electvotes withheld for the nominees, will be elected. Because the election of Board Members for each Fund,in this case does not require that a minimum percentage of a Fund’s outstanding Common Shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect.effect on the outcome of the election of that Fund’s Board Members by holders of Common Shares.

Board Member Investments in the Funds

In order to create an appropriate identity of interests between Board Members and shareholders, the Boards of Directors/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 July 31, 2017June 30, 2021 is set forth in Appendix A. 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 July 31, 2017June 30, 2021 is also set forth in Appendix A. On July 31, 2017, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately 1.3 million shares of all funds managed by the Adviser (including shares held by the Board Members through the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members and by executive officers in Nuveen’s 401(k)/profit sharing plan) A. As of September 18, 2017,30, 2021, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of September 18, 2017,30, 2021, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of September 18, 2017, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund, except as provided in Appendix B.

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 Member’s deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen funds. At the time for commencing distributions from an Independent Board Member’s deferral account, the Independent Board 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 fund’s 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 Officer’s (“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 Adviser’s cost of the CCO’s incentive compensation.

Board

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 candidate’s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background, skills and experience enhance the Board’s 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 its members,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 orand 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’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’s 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 Chairman thatChair who is an Independent Board Member. The Board recognizes that a chairmanchair 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’s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chairmanchair 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 William J. SchneiderMr. Toth as the independent ChairmanChair of the Board. Specific responsibilitiesPursuant to the Fund’s By-Laws, the Chair shall perform all duties incident to the office of the Chairman include: (i) presiding at all meetingsChair of the Board and of the shareholders; (ii) seeing that all orders and resolutions ofsuch other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the Board Members are carried into effect; and (iii) maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings ofor the Board Members and the shareholders.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

21


matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain committees (as summarized below) as

21


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 Fund’s 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 theClosed-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.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 William J. Schneider, Chair, Margot L. Cook and Terence J. Toth.Toth, Chair, Albin F. Moschner and Margaret L. Wolff. The number of Executive Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.C.

Dividend Committee.Committee. The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on each Fund’s 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 Robert L. Young, Chair, William C. Hunter, Chair, Terence J. TothAlbin F. Moschner and Margaret L. Wolff. The number of Dividend Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.C.

Audit Committee.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 toclosed-end funds of the NYSE. 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 Board’s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Funds’ pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveen’s 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-annualsemiannual 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”)

22


adopted and approved by the Board, which Charter conforms to the listing standards of the NYSE. Members of the Audit Committee are independent (as set forth

22


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 Carole E. Stone, Chair, Jack B. Evans, Chair, David J. Kundert,William C. Hunter, John K. Nelson, Carole E. StoneAlbin F. Moschner and Terence J. Toth,Judith M. Stockdale, each of whom is an Independent Board Member of the Funds. A copy of the Charter is available at https://www.nuveen.com/CEF/Shareholder/FundGovernance. aspx.fund-governance. The number of Audit Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.C.

Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee.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.

Audit

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 Fund’s financial statements and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the Audit Committee reviews each Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial and internal controls. The Audit Committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund’s 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 by each Board. Each Audit Committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the NYSE, 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance), which supersedes SAS No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). Each Fund’s 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 firm’s independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the Audit Committee’s responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on the Audit Committee’s 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 Fund’s Annual Report.

The current members of the Audit Committee are:

Jack B. Evans

David J. KundertWilliam C. Hunter

Albin F. Moschner

John K. Nelson

Judith M. Stockdale

Carole E. Stone,

Terence J. Toth Chair
