1(a)(i) | For Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, | X | X | |||
1(a)(ii) | For Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, | X | ||||

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 (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) 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 (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) 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
3
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.
Pursuant to Rule 452 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.
Pursuant 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 otherwise entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned or postponed, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned and that would otherwise be treated as “brokernon-votes,”or postponed, 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(or shares of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item, (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or(or shares
4
of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) 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. TPS and AMTP Shares are typically issued to one or a small numbernot remarketed, thus the proportionate voting provisions of qualified institutional buyers and are subject to restrictions on transfer, thus Rule 452 typically doesdo not apply to these shares. VRDPThe proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to MFP and MFPTFP Shares may be subject to Rule 452, depending on their mode. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to VRDP shares depending on their current rate period. The following table indicates whether the proportionate voting provision of Rule 452 appliesapply to each series of Preferred Shares.

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 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 each Board Member of that Fund. For example, if there are four nominees for election to the Board and four Board Members to be elected, a vote by plurality means the four 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 Fund’s outstanding Common Shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the
5
presence of a quorum, abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of that Fund’s Board Members by holders of Common Shares.
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on January 13, 202018, 2022 will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional vote held. As of January 13, 2020,18, 2022, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

Holdover Trustees:For Global High Income and Multi-Market Income (each, an “Applicable Fund”), Board Members Evans, Moschner and Thornton stood for election at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 6, 2021 (the “2021 Shareholder Meeting”). Pursuant to Global High Income’s By-Laws, because the number of persons nominated for election as trustees at the Fund’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting exceeded the number of trustees to be elected, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter was required to elect trustees at the Fund’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. No trustee nominee received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter at Global High Income’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. In addition, Multi-Market Income was not able to reach a quorum at its 2021 Shareholder Meeting. As a result, the Class III Trustees continue to serve a “holdover” term as trustees of each Applicable Fund, until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Although pursuant to each Applicable Fund’s By-Laws Class III Trustees would not next stand for election until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024, the Board has determined to cause the Class III Trustees to stand for election at each Applicable Fund’s 2022 Annual Meeting. If elected at an Applicable Fund’s 2022 Annual Meeting, the Class III Trustees will serve for the remainder of the term of the Class III Trustees, expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
All Board Member nominees and current and continuing Board Members are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Funds or Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and have never been an employee or director of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”), the Adviser’s parent company, or any affiliate. Accordingly, such Board Members are deemed “Independent Board Members.” Each Board currently has one vacancy due to the resignation of Margo L. Cook on February 27, 2020, who was considered an “interested person” of the Funds by reason of her position with Nuveen and/or certain of its subsidiaries.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the nominees.

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, 20192021 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 December 31, 20192021 is also set forth in Appendix A. On December 31, 2019, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately 1.1 million shares of all funds managed by the
13
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).AsA. As of January 13, 2020,18, 2022, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of January 13, 2020,18, 2022, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

The Funds do not have retirement or pension plans. Certain Nuveen funds (the “Participating Funds”) participate inare investment options under 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 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 Terence J.Mr. 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
20
matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain committees (as summarized below) as
24
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 Terence J.Mr. Toth, Chair, Ms. Wolff and Albin F. Moschner.Mr. Young. 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 William C. Hunter, Albin F.Mr. Young, Chair, Mr. Moschner, Margaret L. WolffMr. Nelson and Robert L. Young, Chair.Mr. Thornton. 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 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 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 semiannualsemi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external auditors for the Funds and the internal audit group at Nuveen.

The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) adopted and approved by the Board, which Charter conforms to the
25
listing standards of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. Members of the Audit Committee are independent (as set
21
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 Carole E.Ms. Stone, Chair, Jack B.Mr. Evans, William C. Hunter, John K.Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Ms. Stockdale and Judith M. Stockdale,Mr. Young, 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. 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 Committee’s 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’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)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 servicesoversight 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 servicesoversight 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.

Nominating and Governance Committee.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 structure hasstructures have been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance Committee believes the structure hasthese 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 Board’s 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 candidate’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 tomeetings with internal and externalsub-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 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 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 https://www.nuveen.com/CEF/Shareholder/FundGovernance.aspx,fund-governance, and is composed entirely of Independent Board Members, who are also

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 Member’s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling.

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, NASDAQ, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management.

Additional Information About the Solicitation
On October 5, 2020, the Funds and certain other Nuveen closed-end funds amended their by-laws. Among other things, the amended by-laws included provisions pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common shares in a Control Share Acquisition (as defined in the by-laws) shall have the same voting rights as other common shareholders only to the extent authorized by the other disinterested shareholders (the “Control
46
Share By-Laws”). On January 14, 2021, a shareholder of certain Nuveen closed-end funds, including Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Global High Income, Short Duration and Senior Income (the “Subject Funds”), filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against the Subject Funds and their trustees, seeking a declaration that the Subject Funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate the 1940 Act, rescission of the Subject Funds’ Control Share By-Laws and a permanent injunction against the Subject Funds applying the Control Share By-Laws. On February 18, 2022, the District Court granted judgment in favor of the plaintiff’s claim for rescission of the Subject Funds’ Control Share By-Laws and the plaintiff’s declaratory judgment claim, and declared that the Subject Funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. Following review of the judgment of the District Court, on February 24, 2022, the Board of Trustees amended the Funds’ by-laws to provide that the Funds’ Control Share By-Laws shall be of no force and effect for so long as the judgment of the District Court is effective and that if the judgment of the District Court is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the Funds’ Control Share By-Laws will be automatically reinstated and apply to any beneficial owner of common shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition, regardless of whether such Control Share Acquisition occurs before or after such reinstatement, for the duration of the stay or upon issuance of the mandate reversing, overturning, vacating or otherwise nullifying the judgment of the District Court. As a result, the voting rights of beneficial owners of common shares will not be limited by the Control Share By-laws at this meeting. The Subject Funds and their trustees have announced their intention to appeal the District Court’s decision.
