IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO FUND SHAREHOLDERS
JULY 26, 2005
Although we recommend that you read the complete Proxy Statement, for your
convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the issues to be voted on.
Q. WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS PROXY STATEMENT?
A. Pursuant to an investment management agreement between your Fund and Nuveen
Asset Management ("NAM"), NAM has served as your Fund's investment adviser
and has been responsible for the overall investment strategy of your Fund.
NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen").
Nuveen is a publicly traded company and, until recently, was a
majority-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St.
Paul Travelers").
As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced three-part program to
sell its entire equity interest in Nuveen (the "Sale"), St. Paul Travelers
sold 39.3 million shares of Nuveen through a secondary public offering on
April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its shares from St.
Paul Travelers. The repurchase of these shares is being completed through
two steps--a $200 million repurchase that closed on April 12, 2005, and a
$400 million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle later this
year. Finally, St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two
other parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen for
settlement later this year. After completion of the Sale, Nuveen will emerge
as a fully independent public company.
Upon completion of the Sale, the investment management agreement between
your Fund and NAM may be terminated. In order for NAM to continue to serve
as investment adviser after the completion of the Sale, the shareholders of
your Fund must approve a new investment management agreement. The enclosed
Proxy Statement gives you additional information on the proposed new
investment management agreement, as well as certain other matters. The Board
of Directors/Trustees of each Fund (the "Board," and each Director or
Trustee, a "Board Member"), including those Board Members who are not
affiliated with NAM, unanimously recommend that you vote FOR the approval of
the new investment management agreement for your Fund.
Please refer to the Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the items
you are being asked to vote on.
Q. WHY IS A VOTE ON THE PROPOSED NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRED?
A. The completion of the Sale could be deemed to be an "assignment," as that
term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), of the
investment management agreement between each Fund and NAM. As required by
the 1940 Act, under its terms, each investment management agreement would
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. As a result,
shareholder approval of a new investment management agreement will permit
NAM to continue to serve your Fund.
Q. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT APPROVE THE NEW INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
A. If the new investment management agreement is not approved, your Fund's
Board will take such actions as it deems to be in the best interests of your
Fund. This is discussed in more detail in the Proxy Statement.
Q. HOW WILL THE SALE AFFECT ME AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER?
A. Your investment in your Fund will not change as a result of the Sale. You
will still own the same shares in the Fund, and the value of your investment
will not change as a result of the Sale. The new investment management
agreement, if approved by shareholders, will still be with NAM and the terms
of the new investment management agreement are substantially identical to
the terms of the original investment management agreement. In addition, the
portfolio managers of your Fund will not change as a result of the new
investment management agreement.
Q. WILL THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE RATES BE THE SAME UPON THE APPROVAL OF
THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
A. Yes, the investment management fee rates will remain the same.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS SUGGEST THAT I VOTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEW
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
A. After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund [unanimously] recommends
that you vote "FOR" the approval of the new investment management agreement.
Q. WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
A. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposal can be acted upon.
Additionally, your immediate response will help save on the costs of any
future solicitations for these shareholder votes. We encourage all
shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund.
Q. WHO DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
A. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposal or
how to vote your shares, please call your financial advisor. Alternatively,
you may call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Central time.
Q. HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?
A. You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card,
and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Alternatively, you may
vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by
computer by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and
following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide.
Q. WILL ANYONE CONTACT ME?
A. You may receive a call to verify that you received your proxy materials, to
answer any questions you may have about the proposal and to encourage you to
vote.

collectively, the "Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Meeting as to which a choice has been

</Table>
(1) Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred") are
referred to as "Preferred Shares."
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. A majority
of the shares entitled to vote at each Meeting, represented in person or by
proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Meeting. Votes cast by
proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of
election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine
whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election
will treat abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or
4
nominees, typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been
received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the
broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular
matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
For purposes of determining the approval of the new investment management
agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted
against the proposal. The details of the proposal to be voted on by the
shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of the proposal are
set forth under the description of the proposal below.
Preferred Shares held in "street name" as to which voting instructions have not
been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote as of one
business day before the Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the
day to which the Meeting is adjourned, and that would otherwise be treated as
"broker non-votes" may, pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange, be
voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by
all Preferred shareholders as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the
same proportion as the votes cast by all Preferred shareholders of the Fund who
have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred
Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum
of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares
outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such
item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of
Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares
against such item. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be
treated as shares "voted" and for the purpose of meeting the 10% test,
abstentions will not be treated as shares "voted" against the item.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on May
31, 2005 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of May 31, 2005,
the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member and by
the Board Members and officers of the Funds as a group as of [ ]
is set forth in Appendix A. On December 31, 2004, Board Members and executive
officers as a group beneficially owned 1,196,807 shares of all funds managed by
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser") (includes shares held by Board
Members through the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members and
by executive officers in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board
Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than
1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of May 31, 2005, the Board Members
and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the
outstanding Common Shares of each Fund. As of May 31, 2005, no shareholder
beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund.
1. APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
BACKGROUND
Under an investment management agreement between the Adviser and each Fund
(each, an "Original Investment Management Agreement" and collectively, the
"Original Investment Management Agreements"), NAM has served as each Fund's
investment adviser and has been responsible for each Fund's overall investment
strategy and its implementation. The date of each Fund's Original Investment
Management Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders
and approved for continuance by the Board is provided in Appendix B. NAM is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). Nuveen is a
publicly traded company and, until recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of
The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul Travelers"), a publicly-traded
company that is principally engaged in providing property-liability insurance
through subsidiaries.
On March 25, 2005, Nuveen and St. Paul Travelers announced that St. Paul
Travelers planned to implement a three-part program to sell its equity interest
in Nuveen (the "Sale"). As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced
three-part divestiture program, St. Paul Travelers sold 39.3 million shares of
Nuveen's approximately 94 million outstanding common shares through a secondary
public offering on April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its
common shares from St. Paul Travelers at a price of $32.98 per share, or
approximately 18.2 million shares. The repurchase of these shares is being
completed through two steps--a $200 million repurchase that closed on April 12,
2005, and a $400 million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle later
this year. St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two other
parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen
9
for settlement later this year. Upon the closing of the secondary offering and
the initial repurchase by Nuveen as well as the closing for the forward sale
transactions later this year, Nuveen will emerge as a fully independent public
company.
Each Original Investment Management Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides for its
automatic termination in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940
Act). Any change in control of the Adviser is deemed to be an assignment. The
consummation of the Sale may be deemed a change in control of the Adviser and
therefore cause the automatic termination of each Original Investment Management
Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act.
In anticipation of the Sale, each Board met in person at a joint meeting of each
Fund's Board on May 10-12, 2005 for purposes of, among other things, considering
whether it would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders to
approve a new investment management agreement between the Fund and NAM (each a
"New Investment Management Agreement" and collectively, the "New Investment
Management Agreements").
The 1940 Act requires that each New Investment Management Agreement be approved
by the Fund's shareholders in order for it to become effective. At the Board
meeting, and for the reasons discussed below (see "Board Considerations" below),
each Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not parties to the
Original Investment Management Agreements, New Investment Management Agreements
or any subadvisory agreement entered into by the Adviser with respect to any
Fund or who are not "interested persons" of the Funds or the Adviser as defined
in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Board Members"), unanimously approved the New
Investment Management Agreement and unanimously recommended its approval by
shareholders in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to
the Fund after the Sale. In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the
New Investment Management Agreement, the Board will take such action as it deems
to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The form of the
New Investment Management Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix C.
COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND NEW INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The terms of each New Investment Management Agreement, including fees payable to
the Adviser by the Fund thereunder, are substantially identical to those of the
Original Investment Management Agreement, except for the date of effectiveness.
There is no change in the fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser. If
approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Investment Management Agreement for
the Fund will expire on August 1, 2006, unless continued. Each New Investment
Management Agreement will continue in effect from year to year thereafter if
such continuance is approved for the Fund at least annually in the manner
required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Below is a
comparison of certain terms of the Original Investment Management Agreement to
the terms of the New Investment Management Agreement.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The investment management services to be
provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the New Investment Management
Agreements will be identical to those services currently provided by the Adviser
to each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements. Both the
Original Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management
Agreements provide that the Adviser shall manage
10
the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets in accordance with the
Fund's investment objective and policies and limitations and administer the
Fund's affairs to the extent requested by and subject to the supervision of the
Fund's Board. In addition, the investment management services will be provided
by the same Adviser personnel under the New Investment Management Agreements as
under the Original Investment Management Agreements. The Adviser does not
anticipate that the Sale will have any adverse effect on the performance of its
obligations under the New Investment Management Agreements.
FEES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser an investment management fee
that consists of two components--a fund-level component, based only on the
amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level component,
based on the aggregate managed assets (which includes assets attributable to all
types of leverage used in leveraged funds) of all Nuveen-branded closed-end and
open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. The
investment management fee paid by each Fund equals the sum of the fund-level
component and complex-level component.
The fee schedules for the fund-level component and complex-level component to be
paid to the Adviser under the New Investment Management Agreements are identical
to the fund-level component and complex-level component paid to the Adviser
under the Original Investment Management Agreements. The annual fund-level
component for each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements and
the New Investment Management Agreements, the fees paid by each Fund to the
Adviser during each Fund's last fiscal year and the Fund's net assets as of May
1, 2005 are set forth in Appendix D to this Proxy Statement. The fee schedule
for the complex-level component is the same for each Fund under both the
Original Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management
Agreements and is also set forth in Appendix D.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and
each New Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser shall furnish office
facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services
(other than such services, if any, provided by the Fund's transfer agent) for
the Fund.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The Original Investment Management Agreements and New
Investment Management Agreements provide that the Adviser will not be liable for
any loss sustained by reason of the purchase, sale or retention of any security,
whether or not such purchase, sale or retention shall have been based upon the
investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if
such recommendation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith,
except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on
the part of the Adviser in the performance of its obligations and duties, or by
reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the
Agreement.
CONTINUANCE. The Original Investment Management Agreement of each Fund
originally was in effect for an initial term and could be continued thereafter
for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at
least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If the shareholders of a
Fund approve the New Investment Management Agreement for that Fund, the New
Investment Management Agreement will expire on August 1, 2006, unless continued.
The New Investment Management Agreement may be continued for successive one-year
periods if approved at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act.
11
TERMINATION. The Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement for each Fund provide that the Agreement may be terminated
at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund or Adviser on sixty
(60) days' written notice to the other party. A Fund may effect termination by
action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice.
BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
At a meeting held on May 10-12, 2005, the Board of each Fund, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the New Investment Management
Agreement between each Fund and NAM.
To assist the Board in its evaluation of an advisory contract with NAM, the
Independent Board Members received a report in adequate time in advance of their
meeting which outlined, among other things, the services provided by NAM; the
organization of NAM, including the responsibilities of various departments and
key personnel; the Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance
compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent
third party (a "Peer Group") and if available, with recognized or, in certain
cases, customized benchmarks; the profitability of NAM and certain industry
profitability analyses for advisers to unaffiliated investment companies; the
expenses of NAM in providing the various services; the advisory fees of NAM,
including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable funds
in its Peer Group as well as comparisons of NAM's management fees with the fees
NAM assesses to other types of investment products or accounts, if any; the soft
dollar practices of NAM; and the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of
the Fund's expense ratios (after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its
Peer Group. This information supplements that received by the Board throughout
the year regarding Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition,
trade execution and sales activity.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the
Independent Board Members provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal
memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Board Members under
the 1940 Act as well as the general principles of relevant state law in
reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in
such matters; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements
and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment
company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be
considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements.
At the Board meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from
the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials,
the Independent Board Members met privately with their legal counsel to review
the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of
the advisory contract. It is with this background that the Board Members
considered each Investment Management Agreement with NAM. The Independent Board
Members, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out
in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission directives relating
to the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the
Board Members considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each
Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the
services to be provided by NAM; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and
NAM; (c) the costs of the services to
12
be provided and profits to be realized by NAM and its affiliates from the
relationship with the Fund; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be
realized as the Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies
of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, the Board
Members reviewed information concerning the types of services that NAM or its
affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Nuveen Funds; narrative
and statistical information concerning the Fund's performance record and how
such performance compares to the Fund's Peer Group and, if available, recognized
benchmarks or, in certain cases, customized benchmarks (as described in further
detail in Section B below); information describing NAM's organization and its
various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel, and
available resources. In the discussion of key personnel, the Board Members
received materials regarding the changes or additions in personnel of NAM. The
Board Members further noted the willingness of the personnel of NAM to engage in
open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board Members further considered
the quality of NAM's investment process in making portfolio management
decisions, including any refinements or improvements to the portfolio management
processes, enhancements to technology and systems that are available to
portfolio managers, and any additions of new personnel which may strengthen or
expand the research and investment capabilities of NAM. In their review, the
Board Members also noted that Nuveen won the Lipper Award for Best Fund Family:
Fixed Income-Large Asset Class, for 2004. Given the Board Members' experience
with the Funds, other Nuveen funds and NAM, the Board Members noted that they
were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the
organization, operations and personnel of NAM.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of the administrative or non-advisory services provided. In this regard,
NAM provides the Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of,
and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
respective Fund. In addition to investment management services, NAM and its
affiliates provide each Fund with a wide range of services, including: preparing
shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; providing quarterly financial
statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service
providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board
materials for such meetings; providing legal support (such as helping to prepare
registration statements, amendments thereto and proxy statements and responding
to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Fund administrative tasks
necessary for the operation of the respective Fund (such as tax reporting and
fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the
administrative services, the Board Members considered, in particular, NAM's
policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and
regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations
governing compliance. The Board Members noted NAM's focus on compliance and its
compliance systems. In their review, the Board Members considered, among other
things, the additions of experienced personnel to NAM's compliance group and
modifications and other enhancements to NAM's computer systems. In addition to
the foregoing, the Board Members also noted that NAM outsources certain services
that cannot be replicated without significant costs or at the same level of
expertise.
13
Such outsourcing has been a beneficial and efficient use of resources by keeping
expenses low while obtaining quality services.
In addition to the above, in reviewing the variety of additional services that
NAM or its affiliates must provide to closed-end funds, such as the Funds, the
Independent Board Members determined that Nuveen's commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly
noteworthy. In this regard, the Board Members noted Nuveen's efforts to sponsor
numerous forums for analysts and specialists regarding the various Nuveen
closed-end funds, its creation of a new senior position dedicated to providing
secondary market support services and enhancing communications with investors
and analysts, and its advertising and media relations efforts designed to raise
investor and analyst awareness of the closed-end funds.
With respect to services provided to municipal funds, such as the Funds, the
Board Members also noted, among other things, the enhancements NAM implemented
to its municipal portfolio management processes (e.g., the increased use of
benchmarks to guide and assess the performance of its portfolio managers); the
implementation of a risk management program; and the various initiatives being
undertaken to enhance or modify NAM's computer systems as necessary to support
the innovations of the municipal investment team (such as, the ability to assess
certain historical data in order to create customized benchmarks, perform
attribution analysis and facilitate the use of derivatives as hedging
instruments). With respect to certain of the Funds with a less seasoned
portfolio, the Board Members also noted the hedging program implemented for such
Funds and the team responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the
hedging procedures. The hedging program was designed to help maintain the
applicable Fund's duration within certain benchmarks.
Based on their review, the Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent
and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds
under the Investment Management Agreements were of a high level and were quite
satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND ADVISER
As previously noted, the Board received a myriad of performance information
regarding each Fund and its Peer Group. Among other things, the Board received
materials reflecting a Fund's historic performance, the Fund's performance
compared to its Peer Group and, if available, its performance compared to
recognized and, in certain cases, customized benchmarks. Further in evaluating
the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Board Members
noted that the closest Peer Group for a Fund still would not adequately reflect
such Fund's investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the
usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund's performance with that of the Peer
Group.
For state municipal funds, such as the Funds, the performance data included,
among other things, the respective Fund's performance relative to its peers.
More specifically, a Fund's one-, three- and five-year total returns (as
available) for the periods ending December 31, 2004 were evaluated relative to
the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group (including the returns of
individual peers as well as the Peer Group average) as well as additional
performance information with respect to all the funds in the Peer Group, subject
to the following. Certain state municipal Funds do not have a corresponding Peer
Group in which case their performance is measured against a state-specific
municipal index compiled by an independent third party. Such indices measure
bond performance rather than fund
14
performance. The Funds that utilize such indices are from Connecticut, Georgia,
Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Based on their review,
the Board Members considered the respective Fund's absolute and relative
investment performance over time had been satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
FEES AND EXPENSES. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Fund is
expected to bear, the Board Members considered the Fund's current management fee
structure and the Fund's expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as
compared with the fees and expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in its Peer
Group. The Board Members reviewed the financial information of NAM, including
its respective revenues, expenses and profitability. In reviewing fees, the
Board Members, among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Fund's gross
management fees (fees after fund-level and complex-wide level breakpoints but
before reimbursement and fee waivers), net management fees (after breakpoints
and reimbursements and fee waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after
waivers) with those of the unaffiliated funds in the Peer Group and peer
averages. In this regard, the Board Members noted that the relative ranking of
the Nuveen Funds on fees and expenses was aided by the significant level of fee
reductions provided by the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, and
the fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen for certain Funds launched
since 1999. The complex-wide breakpoint schedule was instituted in 2004 and is
described in further detail below in Section D entitled "Economies of Scale and
Whether Fee Levels Reflect these Economies of Scale." In their review of the fee
and expense information provided, including, in particular, the expense ratios
of the unaffiliated funds in the respective Peer Group, the Board Members
determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an acceptable
range compared to such peers.
COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS. The Board Members further compared
the fees of NAM to the fees NAM assessed for other types of clients investing in
municipal funds (such as municipal managed accounts). With respect to such
separately managed accounts, the advisory fees for such accounts are generally
lower than those charged to the comparable Fund. The Board Members noted,
however, the additional services that are provided and the costs incurred by
Nuveen in managing and operating registered investment companies, such as the
Funds, compared to individually managed separate accounts. For instance, as
described above, NAM and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Funds
including, but not limited to, preparing shareholder reports; providing daily
accounting; preparing quarterly financial statements; overseeing and
coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and
organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings;
providing legal support; and administering all other aspects of the Fund's
operations. Further, the Board Members noted the increased compliance
requirements for funds in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to
the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts. In addition to the
differences in services, the Board Members also considered, among other things,
the differences in product distribution, investment policies, investor profiles
and account sizes. Accordingly, the Board Members believe that the nature and
number of services provided to operate a Fund merit the higher fees than those
to separate managed accounts.
15
PROFITABILITY OF ADVISER. In conjunction with its review of fees, the Board
Members also considered NAM's profitability. The Board Members reviewed NAM's
revenues, expenses and profitability margins (on both a pre-tax and after-tax
basis). In reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized that one of the
most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of
allocating expenses. Accordingly, the Board Members reviewed NAM's assumptions
and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of
allocation used appeared reasonable but the Board noted the inherent limitations
in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board Members also
recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers
is generally not publicly available. Further, profitability may be affected by
numerous factors including the types of funds managed, expense allocations,
business mix, etc. and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat
limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Board Members considered
NAM's profit margin compared to the profitability of various publicly-traded
investment management companies and/or investment management companies that
publicly disclose some or all of their financial results compiled by three
independent third-party service providers. The Board Members also reviewed the
revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated advisory firms
with similar amounts of assets under management for the last year prepared by
NAM. Based on their review, the Board Members were satisfied that NAM's level of
profitability from its relationship with each Fund was reasonable in light of
the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also
considered any other revenues paid to NAM as well as any indirect benefits (such
as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates are expected to
receive that are directly attributable to their management of the Funds, if any.
See Section E below for additional information. Based on their review of the
overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the Board Members determined
that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
In reviewing the compensation, the Board Members have long understood the
benefits of economies of scale as the assets of a fund grows and have sought to
ensure that shareholders share in these benefits. One method for shareholders to
share in economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee
schedules that reduce fees as fund assets grow. Accordingly, the Board Members
received and reviewed the schedules of advisory fees for each Fund, including
fund-level breakpoints thereto. In addition, after lengthy negotiations with
management, the Board in May 2004 approved a complex-wide fee arrangement
pursuant to which fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The
complex-wide fee arrangement was introduced on August 1, 2004 and the Board
Members reviewed data regarding the reductions of fees for the Funds for the
period of August 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. In evaluating the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the Board Members considered, among other things, the historic
and expected fee savings to shareholders as assets grow, the amount of fee
reductions at various asset levels, and that the arrangement would extend to all
funds in the Nuveen complex. The Board Members also considered the impact, if
any, the complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services
provided. Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that the breakpoint
schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement
16
currently was acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of
scale to shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Board Members also considered any indirect benefits or
profits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with
each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered any benefits from soft
dollar arrangements. The Board Members noted that although NAM manages a large
amount of assets, it has very little, if any, brokerage to allocate. This is due
to the fact that NAM typically manages the portfolios of the municipal funds in
the Nuveen complex and municipal bonds generally trade on a principal basis.
Accordingly, NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and does
not pay excess brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions) in
order to receive research services. In addition to soft dollar arrangements, the
Board Members also considered any other revenues, if any, received by NAM or its
affiliates. With respect to Funds with outstanding preferred shares and new
Funds, the Board Members considered revenues received by Nuveen for serving as
agent for broker-dealers at its preferred trading desk and for acting as
co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange-traded
funds.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Nuveen, until recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers.
As noted, St. Paul Travelers earlier this year announced its intention to divest
its equity stake in Nuveen. Nuveen is the parent of NAM. Pursuant to a series of
transactions, St. Paul Travelers has begun to reduce its interest in Nuveen
which will ultimately result in a change of control of Nuveen and therefore NAM.
As mandated by the 1940 Act, such a change in control would result in an
assignment of the advisory agreement with NAM and the automatic termination of
such agreement. Accordingly, the Board also considered for each Fund the
approval of a New Investment Management Agreement with each Fund in light of,
and which would take effect upon, the anticipated change of control. More
specifically, the Board considered for each Fund a New Investment Management
Agreement on substantially identical terms to the existing Investment Management
Agreement, to take effect after the change of control has occurred and the
contract has been approved by Fund shareholders. In its review, the Board
considered whether the various transactions necessary to divest St. Paul
Travelers' interest will have an impact on the various factors they considered
in approving NAM, such as the scope and quality of services to be provided
following the change of control. In reviewing the St. Paul Travelers
transactions, the Board considered, among other things, the impact, if any, on
the operations and organizational structure of NAM; the possible benefits and
costs of the transactions to the respective Fund; the potential implications of
any arrangements used by Nuveen to finance certain of the transactions; the
ability of NAM to perform its duties after the transactions; whether a Fund's
fee structure or expense ratio would change; any changes to the current
practices of the respective Fund; any changes to the terms of the advisory
agreement; and any anticipated changes to the operations of NAM. Based on its
review, the Board determined that St. Paul Travelers' divestiture would not
affect the nature and quality of services provided by NAM, the terms of the
Investment Management Agreement, including the fees thereunder, and would not
materially affect the organization or operations of NAM.
17
Accordingly, the Board determined that their analysis of the various factors
regarding their approval of NAM would continue to apply after the change of
control.
G. APPROVAL
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including a majority of
Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreements were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser's fees are
reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund, that the renewal of
the NAM Investment Management Agreements should be approved, and that the new,
post-change of control NAM Investment Management Agreements be approved and
recommended to shareholders.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADVISER
NAM, a registered investment adviser, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
Founded in 1898, Nuveen and its affiliates had approximately $ billion in
assets under management as of , 2005. Nuveen is a publicly traded
company and, until the consummation of the Sale, is a majority owned subsidiary
of St. Paul Travelers, 385 Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. Nuveen

Board Member Schwertfeger sold shares of Class A Stock of Nuveen on
the New York Stock Exchange since June 1, 2003. Mr. Schwertfeger received $
in exchange for his shares of Nuveen sold.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, the New Investment
Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund, with the Common and Preferred shareholders voting
together as a single class. The "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or
more of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the meeting
if the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present in person
or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the
Fund entitled to vote thereon. Each New Investment Management Agreement was
approved by the Board of the respective Fund after consideration of all factors
which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those
discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund's New
Investment Management Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the
Fund.
THE BOARD OF EACH FUND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE
FOR APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.

(1) The Original Investment Management Agreements were between the Funds and
Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") and Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp.
("NIAC"). Effective January 1, 2005, NAC was merged into NAM. As a result,
NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to exist separately. NAM
assumed all of NAC and NIAC's obligations under the Original Investment
Management Agreements. Like NAC and NIAC, NAM is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Nuveen. The merger did not constitute a change in control. There was no
change in who manages the Funds or in the Funds' investment objectives or
policies as a result of the merger.

(1) The fee rates shown above went into effect on August 1, 2004. Prior to
August 1, 2004, the investment management fee paid by each Fund was
calculated using the above fund-level fee rates plus 0.20% at each
breakpoint asset level. There was no complex-level component of the
investment management fee.
(2) Prior to January 1, 2005, Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") and Nuveen
Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC") provided investment management
services to the Funds. Effective January 1, 2005, NAC and NIAC were merged
into NAM. As a result, NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to
exist separately. Prior to the reorganization, management fees were paid to
NAC and NIAC. Currently and under the New Investment Management Agreements,
all management fees will be paid to NAM. Like NAM, NAC and NIAC were
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nuveen.
