Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Over the past year, global financial markets were generally strong as stocks of many countries rose due to strengthening economies and abundant central bank support. A low and stable interest rate environment allowed the bond market to generate modest but positive returns.
More recently, markets have been less certain as economic growth is strengthening in some parts of the world, but in other areas recovery has been slow or uneven at best. Despite increasing market volatility, geopolitical turmoil and concerns over rising rates, better-than-expected earnings results and economic data have supported U.S. stocks. Europe continues to face challenges as disappointing growth and inflation measures led the European Central Bank to further cut interest rates. Japan is suffering from the burden of the recent consumption tax as the government’s structural reforms continue to steadily progress. Flare-ups in hotspots, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and Middle East, have not yet been able to derail the markets, though that remains a possibility. With all the challenges facing the markets, accommodative monetary policy around the world has helped lessen the impact of these events.
It is in such changeable markets that professional investment management is most important. Investment teams who have experienced challenging markets in the past understand how their asset class can behave in rapidly changing times. Remaining committed to their investment disciplines during these times is a critical component to achieving long-term success. In fact, many strong investment track records are established during challenging periods because experienced investment teams understand that volatile markets place a premium on companies and investment ideas that can weather the short-term volatility. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
January 23, 2015
Portfolio Managers’ Comments
Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKG)
Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY)
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS)
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM)
Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund (NNC)
Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV)
These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Portfolio managers Daniel J. Close, CFA, Thomas C. Spalding, CFA, Douglas J. White, CFA and Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, discuss key investment strategies and the six-month performance of these six Nuveen Funds. Dan has managed the Nuveen Georgia and North Carolina Funds since 2007. Tom assumed portfolio management responsibility for the Maryland and Virginia Funds in 2011, Doug has managed the Minnesota Fund since 1993 and Chris has managed the Missouri Fund since 2011.
Fund Mergers
The Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS), which commenced operations on October 6, 2014, was formed from the merger of Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio Inc. (MXA) and First American Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN) (the Mergers), both of which had been managed by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. and sub-advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. MXA is treated as the survivor of the Mergers for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for NMS for periods prior to October 6, 2014, is that of MXA. MXA’s previous fiscal year end was June 30, 2014, and therefore NMS’s reporting period for this report is from July 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014.
What key strategies were used to manage the Funds during the reporting period ended November 30, 2014?
Falling long-term interest rates helped municipal bonds rally during the reporting period. Additional tailwinds came from a supportive fundamental backdrop and demand continuing to outpace supply. In this environment, bond issuers sought to take advantage of declining rates by retiring older bonds and replacing them with newer debt issued at lower rates. The national municipal market saw an increase in the number of current calls during the reporting period. However, individual states experienced varying levels of call activity. Overall, the Funds continued to seek bonds with long-term potential, while managing interest rate risk and keeping the Funds fully invested.
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio managers as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.
Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch). Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.
Bond insurance guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the bond when due, and not the value of the bonds themselves, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer. Insurance relates specifically to the bonds in the portfolio and not to the share prices of a Fund. No representation is made as to the insurers’ ability to meet their commitments.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
In NMY, NMS and NKG, buying activity was fairly muted. In Maryland, we sought bonds with intermediate to longer maturities and medium to lower credit quality, but new issuance in the state during this reporting period tended to be of higher quality and shorter maturity. That being said, we did find two credits with structure and terms that appealed to our strategy, Western Maryland Health and Howard County Housing. New issues of attractive revenue bonds in Minnesota were also relatively scarce, as has typically been the case in this state. We were able to purchase a handful of new issues in the public power and charter school sectors, as well as a few secondary market issues in the health care and transportation sectors in NMS to help keep it fully invested. NKG also stayed fully invested with the purchases of two local general obligation (GO) bonds, one water and sewer bond and one higher education bond, all in the intermediate to longer maturity range.
The other three Funds saw more diversified buying opportunities during the reporting period. In Virginia, purchases for NPV came from the new issue and secondary markets and were mostly in longer dated credits. Additions to the portfolio included bonds issued for the University of Virginia, Metropolitan Washington D.C. Airports Authority and Winchester Economic Development Authority for Valley Health System, as well as various state and local issuing authorities. Buying activity in NOM during the reporting period represented a range of sectors and credit ratings (AA, A, BBB and non-rated). Our largest purchase was a AA-rated Excelsior Springs sales tax revenue bond. In the electric utility sector, we added a Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission Plum Point Project credit. We also bought bonds in the hospital and senior living care credit sectors. In NNC, we bought two higher education bonds, two airport bonds, two appropriation bonds and one water and sewer bond.
In addition, we established a portfolio hedge in both NKG and NNC by purchasing a credit default swap on the debt obligations of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. We have previously noted a correlation between the credit quality of Puerto Rico bonds and that of the overall high yield municipal bond market. Given that these portfolios regularly maintain a meaningful stake in BBB-rated and below investment grade rated bonds, we saw this as a way to reduce the Funds’ overall risk while continuing to take advantage of opportunities to invest in the lower quality portion of the market. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negligible impact on performance.
Generally, the cash to finance the Funds’ purchases came from bonds that were called or, in the case of NMY, NOM and NPV, sold from our Puerto Rico exposure. In NNC, the market’s recent strength provided us an opportunity to sell low coupon structures in the health care sector, using the proceeds to buy premium coupon structures in appropriation bonds. Selling activity in NKG and NMS was overall muted during the reporting period.
How did the Funds perform during the reporting period ended November 30, 2014?
The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide the Funds’ total returns for the five-month, six-month, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended November 30, 2014. Each Fund’s total returns at common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of corresponding market indexes and a Lipper classification average.
For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, the total return at common share NAV for the six Funds exceeded the return for their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index as well as the national S&P Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NKG, NMY, NOM, NNC and NPV lagged the average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average, while NMS outperformed this same classification average. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States classification represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns during this reporting period included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector allocation. In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was an important factor affecting the performance of these Funds. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.
Municipal bonds with longer maturities outperformed those with shorter maturities, as the municipal yield curve flattened somewhat during the reporting period. The Funds were generally positioned with overweights to the longer portions of the yield curve and underweights to the shorter end of the curve, which was beneficial to performance.
In terms of the credit quality spectrum, lower rated municipal bonds performed better than those with higher grade ratings during this reporting period. Investors’ search for yield in the current low rate environment was a boon to lower quality bonds, which tended to offer higher yields in exchange for higher risk. As AAA-rated bonds were the weakest performing category, underweight allocations to these credits in NKG, NMS, NOM and NNC were advantageous to performance. NMS also held an underweight position in AA-rated bonds, which was favorable to results, as this segment also lagged during the reporting period. Additionally, Funds with overweight exposure to medium and lower rated debt, including NMS and NOM, further benefited from the strong relative performance of BBB, BB and non-rated bonds during the reporting period. However, for NPV, credit quality had a neutral impact on performance. NPV’s weighting in U.S. guaranteed bonds, which underperformed because they are primarily short-term bonds with high quality ratings, offset gains made elsewhere in the Fund’s portfolio.
Sectors that outperformed the municipal market during the reporting period included health care, hospitals and transportation, while pre-refunded and GO bonds were the weakest sectors. NMS was aided by overweight allocations in health care (including hospitals and life care), higher education, housing and industrial development credits, together with underweight positions in state and local GO, dedicated tax (primarily sales tax revenue) and pre-refunded bonds. However, NMS’s overweight exposure in public power bonds detracted from performance, as the sector underperformed the benchmark. Positive performance in NPV was driven by an allocation to zero coupon bonds for transportation projects, including toll roads and airports. Because these types of projects are used for long periods of time, their bonds tend to have longer durations, which was favorable during a period when long maturity bonds were in demand from investors. NNC was also positioned with overweight exposure to toll road credits that was beneficial to returns, despite the negative impact of an overweight to pre-refunded bonds. In NKG, overall sector allocation and credit selection hurt performance due to an overweight in pre-refunded bonds and a weak performing health care credit, Ty Cobb Regional Medical Center. NMY’s tobacco holdings dampened performance but tuition revenue bonds were positive contributors.
Another major theme affecting the Funds’ performance during the reporting period was exposure to Puerto Rico bonds. This was the main detractor from performance for NMY and NOM during the reporting period. However, we note that the negative impact of NMY’s Puerto Rico position was somewhat buffered by its holding of American Airlines common stock, which performed well as the company has emerged from bankruptcy. The Fund received American Airlines stock when its holding of bonds issued by Puerto Rico Ports Authority for American Airlines was converted into equity as part of the merger with US Airways, which was completed in December 2013. Over time, we expect to sell these shares and reinvest the proceeds into municipal bonds.
The Puerto Rico bonds were originally added to our portfolios to keep assets fully invested and working for the Funds’ as well as to enhance diversity, duration and credit. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). However, Puerto Rico’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations and long standing inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past two years. Following the latest rating reduction by Moody’s in July 2014, Puerto Rico general obligation debt was rated B2/BB+/BB
Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
(below investment grade) by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks. In late June 2014, Puerto Rico approved new legislation creating a judicial framework and formal process that would allow several of the commonwealth’s public corporations to restructure their public debt. As of November 2014, the Nuveen complex held $71 million in bonds backed by public corporations in Puerto Rico that could be restructured under this legislation, representing less than 0.1% of our municipal assets under management. In light of the evolving economic situation in Puerto Rico, Nuveen’s credit analysis of the commonwealth had previously considered the possibility of a default and the restructuring of public corporations and we adjusted our portfolios to prepare for such an outcome, although no such default or restructuring has occurred to date. The Nuveen complex’s entire exposure to obligations of the government of Puerto Rico and other Puerto Rico issuers totals 0.35% of assets under management as of November 30, 2014.
NMY, NOM and NPV were active sellers of Puerto Rico paper during the reporting period. NMY reduced its allocation by half, from 9.7% to 5.5% at period end. We trimmed NOM’s exposure from 3.2% to 0.5%, which represents a single holding in an insured, senior lien COFINA (sales tax) bond. NPV’s weighting was cut from 7.8% to 4.6% by the end of the period. NKG, NMS and NNC did not hold any Puerto Rico bonds during the reporting period.
Fund Leverage
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. However, use of leverage can expose the Fund to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund will experience a greater increase in its net asset value if the municipal bonds acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but it will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in its net asset value if the bonds acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the Fund’s net asset value more volatile, and its total return performance more variable over time. In addition, income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Leverage had a positive impact on the performance of the Funds over the reporting period.
As of November 30, 2014, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are as shown in the accompanying table.
| | NKG | | NMY | | NMS | | NOM | NNC | | NPV | |
Effective Leverage* | | 36.06% | | 34.54% | | 33.59% | | 37.79% | 33.46% | | 37.46% | |
Regulatory Leverage* | | 33.52% | | 32.36% | | 33.59% | | 35.07% | 33.46% | | 32.77% | |
* | Effective Leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |

Common Share Information
COMMON SHARE DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
The following information regarding the Funds’ distributions is current as of November 30, 2014. Each Fund’s distribution levels may vary over time based on each Fund’s investment activity and portfolio investments value changes.
During the current reporting period, each Fund’s monthly distributions to common shareholders were as shown in the accompanying table.

Taxable-Equivalent Yield* | | | 7.53 | % | | 7.75 | % | | 8.57 | % | | 7.16 | % | | 7.20 | % | | 8.44 | % |
* | Market Yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly dividend divided by the Fund’s current market price as of the end of the reporting period. Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.3%, 32.0%, 35.1%, 32.3%, 32.2% and 32.1% for Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower. |
Each Fund in this report seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of November 30, 2014, all the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. NMY, NMS, NOM and NPV had positive UNII balances, while NKG and NNC had negative balances for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by the Funds during the period ended November 30, 2014 were paid from net investment income. If a portion of a Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, the Funds’ shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. The composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s monthly dividends for the reporting period are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively (for reporting purposes) and in Note 6 — Income Tax Information within the accompany Notes to Financial Statements (for income tax purposes), later in this report.
Common Share Information (continued)
COMMON SHARE EQUITY SHELF PROGRAM
During the current reporting period, NPV was authorized to issue an additional 1,700,000 common shares through its equity shelf program. Under this program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share. During the current reporting period NPV did not sell any common shares through its equity shelf program.
As of September 30, 2014 NPV’s shelf offering registration statement is no longer effective. Therefore, the Fund may not issue additional common shares under its equity shelf program until a new registration statement is effective.
Refer to Notes to Financial Statements, Note 1 — General Information and Significant Accounting Policies for further details on the Fund’s equity shelf program.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES
During August 2014, the Nuveen Funds’ Board of Trustees reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each of NKG, NMY, NOM, NNC and NPV to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
During November 2014, NMS’s Board of Trustees authorized the Fund to participate in Nuveen’s closed-end fund complex-wide share repurchase program, allowing the Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
As of November 30, 2014, and since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds have cumulatively repurchased and retired common shares as shown in the accompanying table.

Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
Investment, Price and Market Risk. An investment in shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in shares represents an indirect investment in the municipal securities owned by the Fund, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Shares of closed-end investment companies like these Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Leverage Risk. Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful. Certain aspects of the recently adopted Volcker Rule may limit the availability of tender option bonds, which are used by the Funds for leveraging and duration management purposes. The effects of this new Rule, expected to take effect in mid-2015, may make it more difficult for a Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations.
Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund’s portfolio will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.
Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund’s portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.
Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.
Inverse Floater Risk. The Funds may invest in inverse floaters. Due to their leveraged nature, these investments can greatly increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, investments in inverse floaters involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment.
Municipal Bond Market Liquidity Risk. Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers have decreased in recent years, lessening their ability to make a market in these securities. This reduction in market making capacity has the potential to decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds, and increase bond price volatility and trading costs, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. In addition, recent federal banking regulations may cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of municipal bonds, which may further decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, the Fund may be forced to accept a lower price to sell a security, to sell other securities to raise cash, or to give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and hurt performance.
Derivatives Risk. The Funds may use derivative instruments, which involve a high degree of financial risk, including the risk that the loss on a derivative may be greater than the principal amount investment.

(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(3) | Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
(4) | At or subsequent to the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has directed the Fund’s custodian to cease accruing additional income on the Fund’s records. |
(5) | Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board. For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 3. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information. |
(6) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(7) | Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 33.6% |
(8) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(9) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(10) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |
WI/DD | Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. |
(IF) | Inverse floating rate investment. |
(UB) | Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information. |

(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(3) | Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
(4) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(5) | Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 33.7% |
(6) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(7) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(8) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |
WI/DD | Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |

(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(b) | Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
| |
| Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
(c) | Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders, where applicable; Net Investment Income (Loss) ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”), MTP Shares and/or VMTP Shares, where applicable. |
(d) | After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. As of September 30, 2010, the Adviser is no longer reimbursing Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) for any fees and expenses. |

(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(b) | Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
| |
| Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Fund Information
The state funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or NYSE MKT symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
• Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKG) (“Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG)”)
• Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY) (“Maryland Premium Income (NMY)”)
• Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS) (“Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS)”)
• Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM) (“Missouri Premium Income (NOM)”)
• Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund (NNC) (“North Carolina Premium Income (NNC)”)
• Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV) (“Virginia Premium Income (NPV)”)
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end registered investment companies. Common shares of Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG), Maryland Premium Income (NMY), Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) are traded on the NYSE while common shares of Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are traded on the NYSE MKT. Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG), Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on October 26, 2001, April 28, 2014 and March 29, 1993, respectively. Maryland Premium Income (NMY), North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 12, 1993.
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On October 1, 2014, TIAA-CREF, a national financial services organization, completed its previously announced acquisition of Nuveen, the parent company of the Adviser. The transaction has not resulted in any change in the portfolio management of the Funds or in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies.
Because the consummation of the acquisition resulted in the “assignment” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) and automatic termination of the Funds’ investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements, Fund shareholders were asked to approve new investment management agreements with the Adviser and new investment sub-advisory agreements with each Fund’s Sub-Adviser. These new agreements were approved by shareholders of each of the Funds, and went into effect on October 1, 2014. The terms of the new agreements, including the fees payable to each Fund’s Adviser and Sub-Adviser, are substantially identical to those of the investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements in place immediately prior to the closing.
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
Fund Mergers
Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) was formed from the merger of the following two closed-end funds (each a “Target Fund’ and collectively, the “Target Funds”) advised by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) (the “Merger Sub”) (the “Mergers”):
• Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio Inc. (MXA) (“Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA)”),
• First American Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN) (“Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN)”),
Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA) is treated as the survivor of the Mergers for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) for periods prior to October 6, 2014, is that of Minnesota
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA). Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio’s (MXA) previous fiscal year end was June 30, 2014, and therefore Minnesota Municipal Income’s (NMS) reporting period for this report is from July 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014.
The Mergers became effective prior to the opening of business on October 6, 2014. Upon the closing of the Mergers, each Target Fund merged with and into the Merger Sub. Shareholders of each Target Fund received newly issued shares of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of which was equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of each Target Fund held immediately prior to the Mergers (including for this purpose fractional Fund shares to which shareholders would have been entitled). Following completion of the Mergers, the Merger Sub distributed its assets to Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), and Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), assumed the liabilities of the Merger Sub, in complete liquidation and dissolution of the Merger Sub. As a result of the Mergers, the assets of the Target Funds were combined, and the shareholders of each Target Fund became shareholders of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS). Details of the Mergers are further described in Note 8 – Fund Mergers.
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of November 30, 2014, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | North | | | |
| | Georgia | | Maryland | | Minnesota | | Missouri | | Carolina | | Virginia | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | | Municipal | | Premium | | Premium | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | |
| | (NKG | ) | (NMY | ) | (NMS | ) | (NOM | ) | (NNC | ) | (NPV | ) |
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | | $ | 3,367,680 | | $ | 4,311,550 | | $ | 2,002,127 | | $ | 395,766 | | $ | 2,002,975 | | $ | 1,601,945 | |
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statements of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
During the current fiscal period, Missouri Premium Income (NOM) had issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, with a $10 liquidation value per share. The Fund’s MTP Shares were issued in one or more Series and traded on the NYSE MKT.
On November 19, 2014, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a refinancing plan in which Missouri Premium Income (NOM) will redeem all of its outstanding MTP Shares at their $10.00 liquidation value per share, using proceeds from newly issued preferred shares.
As of November 30, 2014, details of Missouri Premium Income’s (NOM) MTP Shares outstanding are as follows:
| | | | | | | | Shares | | | |
| | | | | | | | Outstanding | | | |
| | | | | | Shares | | at $10 Per Share | | Annual | |
Fund | | Series | | NYSE MKT Ticker | | Outstanding | | Liquidation Value | | Dividend Rate | |
Missouri Premium Income (NOM) | | | 2015 | | | NOM PRC | | | 1,788,000 | | $ | 17,880,000 | | | 2.10 | % |
The Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. MTP Shares were subject to redemption at the option of the Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to a payment of premium for one year following the Optional Redemption Date (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at the option of the Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit rating of the MTP Shares. The Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the MTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for the Fund’s series of MTP Shares are as follows:
| | | | | | Term | | Optional | | Premium | |
Fund | | Series | | NYSE MKT Ticker | | Redemption Date | | Redemption Date | | Expiration Date | |
Missouri Premium Income (NOM) | | 2015 | | | NOM PRC | | December 1, 2015 | | December 1, 2011 | | November 30, 2012 | |
The average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding for the Fund during the six months ended November 30, 2014, was as follows:
| | | Missouri | |
| | | Premium | |
| | | Income | |
| | | (NOM | ) |
Average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding | | $ | 17,880,000 | |
For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of MTP Shares is recorded as a liability and recognized as “MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends on MTP Shares, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. Unpaid dividends on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of MTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. VMTP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publically available.
As of November 30, 2014, VMTP Shares outstanding, at liquidation value, for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | Shares | |
| | | | | | Outstanding at | |
| | | | Shares | | $100,000 Per Share | |

Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) | | | 2017 | | | 750 | | $ | 75,000,000 | |
Maryland Premium Income (NMY) | | | 2017 | | | 1,670 | | $ | 167,000,000 | |
Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) | | | 2017* | | | 441 | | $ | 44,100,000 | |
North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) | | | 2017 | | | 1,250 | | $ | 125,000,000 | |
* Includes VMTP Shares resulting from the Mergers, as further described in Note 4 – Fund Shares.
Each Fund is obligated to redeem its VMTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares are subject to redemption at the option of each Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to payment of premium for one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s VMTP Shares are as follows:
| | | | Term | | Optional | | Premium | |
Fund | | Series | | Redemption Date | | Redemption Date | | Expiration Date | |
Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) | | 2017 | | June 1, 2017 | | June 1, 2015 | | May 31, 2015 | |
Maryland Premium Income (NMY) | | 2017 | | June 1, 2017 | | June 1, 2015 | | May 31, 2015 | |
Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) | | 2017* | | May 1, 2017 | | May 1, 2015 | | April 30, 2015 | |
North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) | | 2017 | | March 1, 2017 | | March 1, 2015 | | April 30, 2015 | |
* Includes VMTP Shares resulting from the Mergers, as further described in Note 4 – Fund Shares.
The average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the six months ended November 30, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | North | |
| | Georgia | | Maryland | | Minnesota | | Carolina | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | | Municipal | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | | Income | | Income | |
| | (NKG | ) | (NMY | ) | (NMS | )* | (NNC | ) |
Average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding | | $ | 75,000,000 | | $ | 167,000,000 | | $ | 35,636,913 | | $ | 125,000,000 | |
Annualized dividend rate | | | 0.98 | % | | 1.00 | % | | 0.91 | % | | 1.00 | % |
*�� For the period July 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014.
VMTP Shares generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation par value so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” rates being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Funds’ Adviser has determined that the fair value of VMTP Shares is their liquidation value, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VMTP Shares, were recorded as a deferred charge which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
Virginia Premium Income (NPV) has issued and outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. VRDP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.
As of November 30, 2014, details of the Fund’s VRDP Shares outstanding are as follows:
| | | | | | Shares Outstanding at | | | |
| | | | Shares | | $100,000 Per Share | | | |
Fund | | Series | | Outstanding | | Liquidation Value | | Maturity | |
Virginia Premium Income (NPV) | | | 1 | | | 1,280 | | $ | 128,000,000 | | | August 3, 2043 | |
VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom the Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. The Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. The Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. The Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the six months ended November 30, 2014, were as follows:
| | | Virginia | |
| | | Premium | |
| | | Income | |
| | | (NPV | ) |
Average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding | | $ | 128,000,000 | |
Annualized dividend rate | | | 0.15 | % |
For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, the Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs
Virginia Premium Income (NPV) has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission authorizing the Fund to issue 1.7 million additional common shares through an equity shelf program (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective during the prior fiscal period.
Under this Shelf Offering, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share.
Common shares authorized, common shares issued and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under the Fund’s Shelf Offering during the six months ended November 30, 2014 and fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | Virginia | |
| | Premium Income (NPV) | |
| | Six Months | | | |
| | Ended | | Year Ended | |
| | 11/30/14 | | 5/31/14 | |
Common shares authorized | | | 1,700,000 | | | 1,700,000 | * |
Common shares issued | | | — | | | — | |
Offering proceeds, net of offering costs | | | — | | | — | |
* Shelf Offering declared effective by the SEC during the prior fiscal period.
As of September 30, 2014, Virginia Premium Income’s (NPV) shelf offering registration statement is no longer effective. Therefore, the Fund may not issue additional common shares under its equity shelf program until a new registration statement is filed and declared effective by the SEC.
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its Shelf Offering are recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred asset is reduced during the one-year period that additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from such sales and is recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable. At the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period, any remaining deferred charges will be expensed accordingly and recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations. Any additional costs the Fund may incur in connection with its Shelf Offering are expensed as incurred and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and investments in Derivatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above, and are generally classified as Level 2.
Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board or its appointee.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| |
Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| |
Level 3 – | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
| |
(ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”).
An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” The Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the period ended November 30, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | North | | | |
| | Georgia | | Maryland | | Minnesota | | Missouri | | Carolina | | Virginia | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | | Municipal | | Premium | | Premium | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | |

Average floating rate obligations outstanding | | $ | 3,245,000 | | $ | 21,335,191 | | $ | — | | $ | 2,225,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 9,250,000 | |
Average annual interest rate and fees | | | 0.41 | % | | 0.69 | % | | — | % | | 0.23 | % | | — | % | | 0.33 | % |
As of November 30, 2014, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by each Fund’s self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | North | | | |
| | Georgia | | Maryland | | Minnesota | | Missouri | | Carolina | | Virginia | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | | Municipal | | Premium | | Premium | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | |
| | (NKG | ) | (NMY | ) | (NMS | ) | (NOM | ) | (NNC | ) | (NPV | ) |
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters | | $ | 3,245,000 | | $ | 17,170,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 2,225,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 9,250,000 | |
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters | | | 5,635,000 | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | 20,070,000 | |
Total | | $ | 8,880,000 | | $ | 17,170,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 2,225,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 29,320,000 | |
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of November 30, 2014, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | North | | | |
| | Georgia | | Maryland | | Minnesota | | Missouri | | Carolina | | Virginia | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | | Municipal | | Premium | | Premium | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | | Income | |
| | (NKG | ) | (NMY | ) | (NMS | ) | (NOM | ) | (NNC | ) | (NPV | ) |
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 13,330,000 | |
Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative investments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund will limit its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Credit Default Swaps
A Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/ when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund pays to the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. This interest fee is accrued daily and, for over-the-counter swaps, is recognized with the daily change in the market value of the contract as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (, net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This interest fee is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily.
Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund is obligated to deliver that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of the notional amount from the counterparty. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. As a seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund generally receives from the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either receive that security, or
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss.
Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps,” and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations. Investments in swaps cleared through an exchange obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days “mark-to-market” of the swap. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit a Fund’s account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a buyer of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity.
During the period ended November 30, 2014, Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) and North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) invested in credit default swaps to manage credit risk by purchasing credit protection.
The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended November 30, 2014, was as follows:
| | | | North | |
| | Georgia | | Carolina | |
| | Dividend | | Premium | |
| | Advantage 2 | | Income | |

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
As of November 30, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives, where applicable), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedules:
| | Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) |
Average Daily Managed Assets* | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | | 0.4500 | % |
For the next $125 million | | 0.4375 | |
For the next $250 million | | 0.4250 | |
For the next $500 million | | 0.4125 | |
For the next $1 billion | | 0.4000 | |
For managed assets over $2 billion | | 0.3750 | |
| | Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) |
Average Daily Managed Assets* | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | | 0.4500 | % |
For the next $125 million | | 0.4375 | |
For the next $250 million | | 0.4250 | |
For the next $500 million | | 0.4125 | |
For managed assets over $1 billion | | 0.4000 | |
| | Maryland Premium Income (NMY) |
| | Missouri Premium Income (NOM) |
| | North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) |
| | Virginia Premium Income (NPV) |
Average Daily Managed Assets* | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million. | | 0.4500 | % |
For the next $125 million | | 0.4375 | |
For the next $250 million | | 0.4250 | |
For the next $500 million | | 0.4125 | |
For the next $1 billion | | 0.4000 | |
For the next $3 billion | | 0.3875 | |
For managed assets over $5 billion | | 0.3750 | |
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level* | | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level |
$55 billion | | 0.2000 | % |
$56 billion | | 0.1996 | |
$57 billion | | 0.1989 | |
$60 billion | | 0.1961 | |
$63 billion | | 0.1931 | |
$66 billion | | 0.1900 | |
$71 billion | | 0.1851 | |
$76 billion | | 0.1806 | |
$80 billion | | 0.1773 | |
$91 billion | | 0.1691 | |
$125 billion | | 0.1599 | |
$200 billion | | 0.1505 | |
$250 billion | | 0.1469 | |
$300 billion | | 0.1445 | |
* | For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of November 30, 2014, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was 0.1639%. |
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
8. Fund Mergers
The Mergers were structured to qualify as tax-free mergers under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes, and the Target Funds’ shareholders recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result. Prior to the closing of the Mergers, the Target Funds distributed all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any. Such a distribution may be taxable to the Target Funds’ shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
Investments
The cost, fair value and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the investments of the Target Funds as of the date of the Mergers, were as follows:
| | | Minnesota | | | Minnesota | |
| | | Municipal | | | Municipal | |
| | | Income | | | Income | |
| | | Portfolio | | | Fund II | |
| | | (MXA | ) | | (MXN | ) |
Cost of investments | | $ | 86,735,071 | | $ | 32,798,297 | |
Fair value of investments | | | 94,862,790 | | | 34,794,031 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | | 8,127,719 | | | 1,995,734 | |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Funds were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Minnesota Municipal Income’s (NMS) realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Assuming the Mergers have been completed on July 1, 2014, the beginning of Minnesota Municipal Income’s (NMS) current fiscal period, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended November 30, 2014, are as follows:
| | | Minnesota | |
| | | Municipal | |
| | | Income | |
Pro Forma results of Operations | | | (NMS | ) |
Net investment income | | $ | 1,882,798 | |
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) | | | 1,235,403 | |
Change in net assets resulting from operations | | | 3,118,201 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios for the Mergers have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Mergers were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Funds that have been included in the Statement of Operations for Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) since the Mergers were consummated.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
■ | Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. |
| |
■ | Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. |
| |
■ | Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. |
| |
■ | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see Leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. |
| |
■ | Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. |
| |
■ | Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. |
| |
■ | Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. |
| |
■ | Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. |
| |
■ | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding. |
| |
■ | Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value. |
■ | Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Georgia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Georgia municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Maryland Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Maryland municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Minnesota Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Minnesota municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Missouri Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond North Carolina Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade North Carolina municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Virginia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Virginia municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities. |
| |
■ | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pays interest periodically. |
Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
How shares are purchased
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net as -set value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day imme -diately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
Flexible
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

The board of trustees of each of the above-captioned Funds (collectively, the “Nuveen Fund Board”), including all of the board members who are not parties to the Funds’ advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties, approved the respective Fund’s existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements at an in-person meeting held on April 30, 2014.

As discussed below, the current advisory and sub-advisory agreements of Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund were approved separately by the board of trustees of the Fund existing at the time of such approval. A discussion of the approval of such Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements is set forth below. The members of the Nuveen Fund Board were appointed to the board of trustees of such Fund subsequent to the approval of the Fund’s advisory arrangements.
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS)
Board Considerations in Approving the Fund’s Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
At meetings held on April 28, 2014 and June 17-18, 2014, the Fund’s Board, which is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, considered information relating to the proposed Investment Management Agreement between the Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFA”) and the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between NFA and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”) with respect to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). In connection with the evaluation of the Agreements, the Board requested and received a substantial amount of information about NFA and NAM and the services to be provided to the Fund, along with other matters believed to be relevant to its deliberations.
In considering the Agreements, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by NFA and NAM, (2) the costs of services to be provided by NFA and NAM, (3) the performance and discount history of the predecessor funds which were sub-advised by NFA and NAM, and (4) other benefits that may accrue to NFA and NAM through their relationship with the Fund. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements. Before approving the Agreements, the Board met in executive session with their independent counsel to consider the materials provided by NFA and NAM and the terms of the Agreements. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreements were in the interest of the Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following factors:
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services
The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements. The Board considered that the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by NFA and NAM would be substantially similar to the advisory services provided by NFA and NAM to the predecessor funds. The Board noted that the Investment Management Agreement provides for the supervision of the Fund’s investment program, managing risks and leverage, determining dividends and distributions, providing tax advice and pricing the Fund’s securities. The Board further noted that the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that NAM shall make investment decisions, place purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions in the Fund and employ professional portfolio managers and securities analysts to provide research services relating to the Fund.
Costs of Services to be Provided by Nuveen Fund Advisors and Nuveen Asset Management
The Board considered the proposed fund-level fee rate and the complex-level fee rate based on managed assets (i.e., the total assets of the Fund, minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (other than Fund liabilities incurred for the express purpose of creating effective leverage)), both of which include breakpoints. The Board noted that NFA had agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses for the first two years after the closing of the mergers, so that the total annual operating expense ratio (excluding the costs of leverage) of the Fund will be equal to the lower of the total annual expense ratios (excluding the costs of leverage) of the predecessor funds for the period from the first day of the then-current fiscal year through the last day of the month prior to the consummation of the mergers, on an annualized basis.
Investment Performance
The Board considered the predecessor funds’ performance and discount history. The Board considered whether shareholders might benefit from the continuity of management and services to be provided under the Fund’s Agreements, if the mergers were approved by shareholders. The Board considered how the continuity of services provided by NFA and NAM might minimize the Fund’s trading discount in the future.
Other Benefits to Nuveen Fund Advisors and Nuveen Asset Management
In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to NFA and NAM, the Board noted that NFA and NAM served as sub-advisers to the predecessor funds and would continue in similar capacities under the Agreements.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreements was in the interest of the Fund.
Board Considerations in connection with the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements
The Board noted that on April 14, 2014, TIAA-CREF entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen Investments”) from the investor group led by Madison Dearborn Partners. According to the proposed transaction, Nuveen Investments would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA-CREF and Nuveen Investments would operate as a separate subsidiary within TIAA-CREF’s asset management business (the “Change of Control Transaction”). Therefore, at the April 28, 2014 and June 17-18, 2014 meetings, the Board, all of whom are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, also considered whether it would be in the best interests of the Fund to approve a new investment management agreement between the Fund and NFA and a new sub-advisory agreement between NFA and NAM (each, a “Nuveen Change of Control Agreement” and collectively, the “Nuveen Change of Control Agreements”).
In connection with the evaluation of the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements, the Board requested and received a substantial amount of information about NFA and NAM and the services to be provided to the Fund, along with other matters believed to be relevant to its deliberations.
In considering the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, noted that each Nuveen Change of Control Agreement would take effect only if the closing of the Change of Control Transaction took place after the completion of the mergers. The Board reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by NFA and NAM, (2) the costs of services to be provided by NFA and NAM, (3) the performance and discount history of the predecessor funds which were sub-advised by NFA and NAM, and (4) other benefits that may accrue to NFA and NAM through their relationship with the Fund. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements.
Before approving the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements, the Board met in executive session with their independent counsel to consider the materials provided by NFA and NAM and the terms of the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements are fair and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services
The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements. The Board considered that the advisory services to be provided by NFA and NAM to the Fund under the applicable Nuveen Change of Control Agreement would be identical to those advisory services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements. The Board noted that both the proposed Investment Management Agreement and Nuveen Change of Control Agreement with NFA provide that NFA’s investment advisory responsibilities include the supervision of the Fund’s investment program, managing risks and leverage, determining dividends and distributions, providing tax advice and pricing the Fund’s securities. The Board further noted that both the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and Nuveen Change of Control Agreement with NAM provide that NAM’s investment sub-advisory responsibilities include making investment decisions, placing purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions in the Fund and employing professional portfolio managers and securities analysts to provide research services relating to the Fund.
Costs of Services to be Provided by Nuveen Fund Advisors and Nuveen Asset Management
The Board considered that the fees to be paid to NFA and NAM under the applicable Nuveen Change of Control Agreement will be identical to the fees payable under the Agreements.
Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board considered the predecessor funds’ performance and discount history. The Board considered whether the Fund may benefit from the continuity of management and services to be provided under the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements. The Board considered how the continuity of services provided by NFA and NAM might minimize the Fund’s trading discount in the future.
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Other Benefits to Nuveen Fund Advisors and Nuveen Asset Management
In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to NFA and NAM, the Board noted that NFA and NAM are proposed to serve as adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively, and will continue in those capacities under the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements. The Board considered that each service to be provided to the Fund by NFA and NAM is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board approved the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements having concluded that the Nuveen Change of Control Agreements were in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
