General Information

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member” and collectively, the “Board Members”) of each of Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (“Core Equity Alpha”), Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund (“Core Plus Impact”), Nuveen Corporate Income 2023 Target Term Fund (“Corporate Income 2023”), Nuveen Credit Opportunities 2022 Target Term Fund (“Credit Opportunities 2022”), Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund (“Credit Strategies”), Nuveen Dow 30^SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“Dow Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Emerging Markets Debt 2022 Target Term Fund (“Emerging Markets Debt”), Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund (“Floating Rate Income”), Nuveen Floating Rate Income Opportunity Fund (“Floating Rate Opportunity”), Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Georgia Municipal”), Nuveen Global High Income Fund (“Global High Income”), Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Term Fund (“Intermediate Duration”), Nuveen Intermediate Duration Quality Municipal Term Fund (“Intermediate Duration Quality”), Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Minnesota Municipal”), Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Missouri Municipal”), Nuveen Mortgage and Income Fund (“Mortgage & Income”), Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund (“Multi-Asset Income”), Nuveen Multi-Market Income Fund (“Multi-Market Income”), Nuveen Municipal Credit Opportunities Fund (“Municipal Credit Opportunities”), Nuveen NASDAQ 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“NASDAQ Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund (“Preferred & Income Opportunities”), Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (“Preferred & Income Securities”), Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund (“Preferred & Income Term”), Nuveen Preferred and Income 2022 Term Fund (“Preferred & Income 2022”), Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (“Real Asset”), Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (“Real Estate Income”), Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (“S&P Buy-Write”), Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“S&P Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Senior Income Fund (“Senior Income”), Nuveen Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (“Short Duration”) and Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Virginia Municipal”), each a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, April 8, 2022 at 2:00 p.m., Central time (for each Fund, an “Annual Meeting” and collectively, the “Annual Meetings”), and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof.

Because of the public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, which will be conducted online via live webcast. You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions prior to and during the meeting by visiting: https://meetnow.global/MX6XKMJ at the meeting date and time. If your shares are registered in your name, to participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to log on using the control number from your proxy card or meeting notice. The control number can be found in the shaded box. There is no physical location for the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet. To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your Fund holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You must contact the bank or broker who holds your shares to obtain your legal proxy. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern

2

Time, three (3) business days prior to the meeting date. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. Requests for registration should be directed to us by emailing an image of your legal proxy to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.

On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by shareholders on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a properly executed proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholders of a Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting at the Annual Meeting. A prior proxy can also be revoked by voting again through the toll-free number or the Internet address listed in the proxy card. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to each matter:

3

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees by holders of Preferred Shares (for Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Senior Income, Short Duration and Virginia Municipal), 33¹⁄₃% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. The proposal described in this Joint Proxy Statement is considered a “routine” matter under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms on the proposal in the discretion of such broker-dealer firms.

Pursuant to Rule 452 of the NYSE, certain Preferred Shares held in “street name” as to which voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons otherwise entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned or postponed, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, may be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares (or shares of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item, (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares (or shares

4

of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item and (iii) for any proposal as to which holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares vote as a single class, holders of Common Shares approve the proposal. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares “voted” and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares “voted” against the item. Rule 452 proportionate voting applies only to certain auction rate and remarketed preferred securities. AMTP Shares are not remarketed, thus the proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 do not apply to these shares. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to MFP and TFP Shares depending on their mode. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to VRDP shares depending on their current rate period. The following table indicates whether the proportionate voting provision of Rule 452 apply to each series of Preferred Shares.

Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.

For each Fund, because the number of persons nominated for election as Board Members in accordance with the Fund’s By-Laws equals the number of Board Members to be elected, the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect each Board Member of that Fund. For example, if there are four nominees for election to the Board and four Board Members to be elected, a vote by plurality means the four nominees with the highest number of affirmative votes, regardless of the votes withheld for the nominees, will be elected. Because the election of Board Members in this case does not require that a minimum percentage of a Fund’s outstanding Common Shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the

5

presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of that Fund’s Board Members by holders of Common Shares.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on January 18, 2022 will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional vote held. As of January 18, 2022, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

6

Pursuant to the organizational documents of each Fund, each Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, to be elected by the holders of the outstanding Common Shares and any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, to serve until the third succeeding annual meeting subsequent to their election or thereafter, in each case until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. For Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Senior Income, Short Duration and Virginia Municipal, each Fund with Preferred Shares outstanding, under normal circumstances, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to elect two (2) Board Members. The Board Members elected by holders of Preferred Shares will be elected to serve until the next annual meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

7

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed in the table below unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Board Member of each Fund if elected. However, should any nominee become unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies will be voted for substitute nominees, if any, designated by that Fund’s current Board.

Class I Board Members: For each Fund except Core Plus Impact, Corporate Income 2023, Mortgage & Income, Multi-Asset Income and Municipal Credit Opportunities, Board Members Hunter, Stockdale, Stone and Wolff were last elected to the Fund’s Board as Class I Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 10, 2019. For Mortgage & Income, Board Members Hunter, Stockdale, Stone and Wolff were last elected to the Fund’s Board as Class I Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 27, 2019.

Class II Board Members: For each Fund except Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income and Municipal Credit Opportunities, Board Members Nelson, Toth and Young were last elected to the Fund’s Board as Class II Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 22, 2020.

Class III Board Members: For each Fund except Core Plus Impact, Global High Income, Multi-Asset Income and Multi-Market Income, Board Members Evans, Moschner and Thornton were last elected to each Fund’s Board as Class III Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 6, 2021.

Board Members Elected by Holders of Preferred Shares: For Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Opportunity, Georgia Municipal, Intermediate Duration, Intermediate Duration Quality, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Senior Income, Short Duration and Virginia Municipal, Board Members Hunter and Moschner were last elected to each Fund’s Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 6, 2021.

8

Board Member Appointments/Initial Elections: Board Members Lancellotta and Medero were appointed to each Fund’s Board effective June 1, 2021. For Corporate Income 2023, the appointment of Board Members Evans, Hunter, Moschner, Nelson, Stockdale, Stone, Wolff, Toth and Young was ratified and approved by the initial shareholder on December 18, 2018. For Municipal Credit Opportunities, the appointment of Board Members Evans, Hunter, Moschner, Nelson, Stockdale, Stone, Toth, Wolff and Young was ratified and approved by the initial shareholder on September 16, 2019. For Core Plus Impact, the appointment of Board Members Evans, Hunter, Moschner, Nelson, Stockdale, Stone, Thornton, Toth, Wolff and Young was ratified and approved by the initial shareholder on April 27, 2021. For Multi-Asset Income, the appointment of Board Members Evans, Hunter, Lancellotta, Medero, Moschner, Nelson, Stockdale, Stone, Thornton, Toth, Wolff and Young was ratified and approved by the initial shareholder on November 16, 2021.

Holdover Trustees: For Global High Income and Multi-Market Income (each, an “Applicable Fund”), Board Members Evans, Moschner and Thornton stood for election at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 6, 2021 (the “2021 Shareholder Meeting”). Pursuant to Global High Income’s By-Laws, because the number of persons nominated for election as trustees at the Fund’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting exceeded the number of trustees to be elected, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter was required to elect trustees at the Fund’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. No trustee nominee received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter at Global High Income’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. In addition, Multi-Market Income was not able to reach a quorum at its 2021 Shareholder Meeting. As a result, the Class III Trustees continue to serve a “holdover” term as trustees of each Applicable Fund, until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Although pursuant to each Applicable Fund’s By-Laws Class III Trustees would not next stand for election until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024, the Board has determined to cause the Class III Trustees to stand for election at each Applicable Fund’s 2022 Annual Meeting. If elected at an Applicable Fund’s 2022 Annual Meeting, the Class III Trustees will serve for the remainder of the term of the Class III Trustees, expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

All Board Member nominees and current and continuing Board Members are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Funds or Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and have never been an employee or director of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”), the Adviser’s parent company, or any affiliate. Accordingly, such Board Members are deemed “Independent Board Members.”

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the nominees.

Board Member Investments in the Funds

In order to create an appropriate identity of interests between Board Members and shareholders, the Boards of Trustees of the Nuveen funds have adopted a governance principle pursuant to which each Board Member is expected to invest, either directly or on a deferred basis, at least the equivalent of one year of compensation in the funds in the Nuveen fund complex.

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Board Member in each Fund and all Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Member as of December 31, 2021 is set forth in Appendix A. The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member and by the Board Members and officers of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2021 is also set forth in Appendix A. As of January 18, 2022, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of January 18, 2022, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

17

Compensation

Effective January 1, 2022, Independent Board Members receive a $205,000 annual retainer, increased from $200,000 as of January 1, 2021, plus; (a) a fee of $7,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board; (b) a fee of $3,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at special, non-regularly scheduled Board meetings where in-person attendance is required and $3,000, increased from $2,000 as of January 1, 2021, per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; (c) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Audit Committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,250, increased from $2,000 as of January 1, 2021, per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $5,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; (e) a fee of $1,250, increased from $1,000 as of January 1, 2021, per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Dividend Committee meetings; (f) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at all other committee meetings ($1,000 for shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required, and $100 per meeting when the Executive Committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings; provided that no fees are received for meetings held on days on which regularly scheduled Board meetings are held; and (g) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at Closed-End Funds Committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $2,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required; provided that no fees are received for meetings held on days on which regularly scheduled Board meetings are held. In addition to the payments described above, the Chair of the Board receives $125,000, increased from $100,000 as of January 1, 2021, and the chairpersons of the Audit Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Closed-End Funds Committee receive $20,000, increased from $15,000 as of January 1, 2021, each as additional retainers. Independent Board Members also receive a fee of $3,500 per day for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no Board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized, the Nominating and Governance Committee will at the time of formation determine compensation to be paid to the members of such committee; however, in general, such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at ad hoc committee meetings where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required. The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the Nuveen funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. In certain instances fees and expenses will be allocated only to those Nuveen funds that are discussed at a given meeting. In certain circumstances, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board may hold in-person meetings by telephonic or videographic means and be compensated at the in-person rate.

18

The Funds do not have retirement or pension plans. Certain Nuveen funds (the “Participating Funds”) are investment options under a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) that permits an Independent Board Member to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as an Independent Board Member. The deferred compensation of a participating Independent Board Member is credited to a book reserve account of the Participating Fund when the compensation would otherwise have been paid to such Independent Board Member. The value of an Independent Board Member’s deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen funds. At the time for commencing distributions from an Independent Board Member’s deferral account, the Independent Board Member may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of five years. The Participating Fund will not be liable for any other fund’s obligations to make distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Funds have no employees. The officers of the Funds and the Board Members of each Fund who are not Independent Board Members serve without any compensation from the Funds. The Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation, which is composed of base salary and incentive compensation, is paid by the Adviser, with review and input by the Board. The Funds reimburse the Adviser for an allocable portion of the Adviser’s cost of the CCO’s incentive compensation.

The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, the aggregate compensation paid by each Fund to the Independent Board Member/nominee for its last fiscal year.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Board of each Fund oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including the duties performed for the Fund by the Adviser. The Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of board members who serves on the board of every fund in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the Board Members seek to provide effective governance through establishing a board the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, diversity (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), independence and experience to oversee the Funds’ business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the Board Members consider not only the candidate’s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background, skills and experience enhance the Board’s diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Board Members. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board generally benefits from diversity of background (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), skills, experience and views among Board Members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity.

The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same complex generally are served by the same service providers and personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which raises common issues that must be addressed by the Board Members across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation and risk management). The Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures which increases the Board’s knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Board’s influence and oversight over the Adviser and other service providers.

In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board also has a Chair who is an Independent Board Member. The Board recognizes that a chair can perform an important role in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for Fund management and reinforcing the Board’s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chair may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with Fund management. Accordingly, the Board Members have elected Mr. Toth as the independent Chair of the Board. Pursuant to the Fund’s By-Laws, the Chair shall perform all duties incident to the office of Chair of the Board and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the Board Members or the By-Laws.

Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and Fund performance), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities through several committees that it has established and which report back to the full Board. The Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means to permit Board Members to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Funds, including risk oversight. More specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain committees (as summarized below) as

24

well as certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of Board Members among the different committees allows the Board Members to gain additional and different perspectives of a Fund’s operations. The Board has established six standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Closed-End Funds Committee. The Board may also from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises. The membership and functions of the standing committees are summarized below.

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Toth, Chair, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Executive Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Dividend Committee. The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on each Fund’s shares, including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The Dividend Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Dividend Committee are Mr. Young, Chair, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Thornton. The number of Dividend Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Audit Committee. The Board has an Audit Committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), that is composed of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. The Audit Committee assists the Board in: the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices of the Funds, and the audits of the financial statements of the Funds; the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds; the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Funds’ financial statements; the independent auditors’ qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the Funds and the internal valuation group of Nuveen. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board and, if applicable, shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation. The Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things, overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the Funds’ portfolios. Subject to the Board’s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Funds’ pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveen’s internal valuation group which provides regular reports to the Audit Committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Funds’ securities brought to its attention, and considers the risks to the Funds in assessing the possible resolutions of these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Funds in conjunction with performing its functions.

To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives and reviews annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external auditors for the Funds and the internal audit group at Nuveen. The Audit Committee also may review, in a general manner, the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management as well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) adopted and approved by the Board, which Charter conforms to the

25

listing standards of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. Members of the Audit Committee are independent (as set forth in the Charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board Members, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Stone, Chair, Mr. Evans, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Ms. Stockdale and Mr. Young, each of whom is an Independent Board Member of the Funds. A copy of the Charter is available at https://www.nuveen.com/fund-governance. The number of Audit Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee. The Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee (the “Compliance Committee”) is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds that are not otherwise under or within the jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to address the Funds’ compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee: reviews the policies and procedures relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Funds arise from time to time; evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or regulatory matters as requested by the Board.

In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight, including, but not limited to, the oversight of risks related to investments and operations. Such risks include, among other things, exposures to: particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities; risks related to product structure elements, such as leverage; and techniques that may be used to address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing issues brought to the Compliance Committee’s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Funds in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Funds and their shareholders.

In fulfilling its obligations, the Compliance Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and at least once a year in person. The Compliance Committee receives written and oral reports from the Funds’ CCO and meets privately with the CCO at each of its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an annual report to the full Board regarding the operations of the Funds’ and other service providers’ compliance programs as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. The Compliance Committee also receives reports from the investment oversight group of Nuveen regarding various investment risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates in discussions with management regarding certain matters relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage and hedging. The investment oversight group therefore also reports to the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other things, Fund performance and the various drivers of such performance. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in conjunction with the Compliance Committee oversees matters relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Compliance Committee are Ms. Wolff, Chair, Dr. Hunter, Ms. Lancellotta, Ms. Medero, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Thornton and Mr. Toth. The number of Compliance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking, identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and processes, the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. Although the unitary Board and committee structures have been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance Committee believes these structures have provided efficient and effective governance, the Nominating and Governance Committee recognizes that, as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the Nominating and Governance Committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and committee structures, their performance and functions, and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Board’s governance over the Funds’ business.

In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things: makes recommendations concerning the continuing education of Board Members; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with Board Members; and periodically reviews and makes recommendations about any appropriate changes to Board Member compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to William Siffermann, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members and each nominee is evaluated using the same standards. However, the Nominating and Governance Committee reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Board Members. In considering a candidate’s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the time requirements for due diligence meetings with internal and external sub-advisers and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser, sub-advisers, underwriters or other service providers, including any affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent Board Members at the time of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence, governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and with management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board Members. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Funds’ website at https://www.nuveen.com/fund-governance, and is composed entirely of Independent Board Members, who are also

27

“independent” as defined by NYSE or NASDAQ listing standards, as applicable. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mr. Toth, Chair, Mr. Evans, Dr. Hunter, Ms. Lancellotta, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Ms. Stockdale, Ms. Stone, Mr. Thornton, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Nominating and Governance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Closed-End Funds Committee. The Closed-End Funds Committee was established by the Board in 2012 and is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the Nuveen funds that are registered as closed-end management investment companies (“Closed-End Funds”). The Closed-End Funds Committee may review and evaluate matters related to the formation and the initial presentation to the Board of any new Closed-End Fund and may review and evaluate any matters relating to any existing Closed-End Fund. The Closed-End Funds Committee receives updates on the secondary closed-end fund market and evaluates the premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, at each quarterly meeting. The Closed-End Funds Committee reviews, among other things, the premium and discount trends in the broader closed-end fund market, by asset category and by closed-end fund; the historical total return performance data for the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, based on net asset value and price over various periods; the volatility trends in the market; the use of leverage by the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds; the distribution data of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, and as compared to peer averages; and a summary of common share issuances, if any, and share repurchases, if any, during the applicable quarter by the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds. The Closed-End Funds Committee regularly engages in more in-depth discussions of premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds. Additionally, the Closed-End Funds Committee members participate in in-depth workshops to explore, among other things, actions to address discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, potential share repurchases and available leverage strategies and their use. The Closed-End Funds Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Closed-End Funds Committee are Mr. Evans, Chair, Dr. Hunter, Ms. Lancellotta, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Toth and Ms. Wolff. The number of Closed-End Funds Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund’s Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of shareholders of the Funds and the number of Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds’ website at https://www.nuveen.com/fund-governance.

Board Diversification and Board Member Qualifications. In determining that a particular Board Member was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board considered each Board Member’s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that Board Members need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board believes each Board Member satisfies this standard. An effective Board Member may achieve this ability

28

through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each Board Member should serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills of Board Members are pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), do not constitute holding out the Board or any Board Member as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.
