(1) | On March 19, 2021, Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (“JPS”) filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-254472) to register an unspecified number of common shares and preferred shares to be offered on an immediate, continuous and delayed basis (the “2021 JPS Registration Statement”). The 2021 JPS Registration Statement went automatically effective on March 19, 2021, and, in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), deferred payment of all registration fees. On March 19, 2021, JPS filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) and registered Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share, with a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $235,000,000, with respect to which JPS paid filing fees of $25,638.50. On November 6, 2023, JPS was reorganized with and into the Registrant (the “Reorganization”). As of the time of this filing, Common Shares with a maximum aggregate offering price of $216,484,049 remain unsold from the 2021 JPS Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, a filing fee credit of $23,618, the amount of the prior filing fee attributable to the unsold Common Shares under the 2021 JPS Registration Statement, remains available to offset future registration fees, which the Registrant, as predecessor to JPS by the Reorganization, has claimed in connection with this filing. In accordance with the Notes to Instruction 3.C.i. to Form N-2, this statement confirms that the offering of unsold Common Shares previously registered under the 2021 JPS Registration Statement has terminated. |
