Q. WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT? A. Your Fund is holding a special meeting to obtain shareholder approval on the following items: 1. To elect trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees. 2. To approve changes to certain fundamental investment policies. Please refer to the Joint Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the proposed items. Q. WHY ARE INDIVIDUALS RECOMMENDED FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES? A. Currently, two separate board clusters oversee the funds in the Nuveen family of funds. One board cluster comprised of the same board members oversees the funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp. and one board cluster comprised of the same board members oversees all but one of the funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"). The Board of your Fund has proposed to consolidate both board clusters into a single board cluster so that the same individuals serve on the boards of most Nuveen funds. Your Board believes that the consolidation of board clusters will have the following advantages: - the consolidation will avoid the need to add new board members to each board cluster at various later dates to maintain the current size and structure of each board cluster and thereby avoid the costs associated with multiple meetings to fill such vacancies; - the consolidation ensures that each Fund will gain new board members that are already knowledgeable about Nuveen and investment companies in general; - the consolidation would reduce the duplication of board materials and reports covering the same issues and would avoid the need for repeated presentation of the same material by the same personnel at different meetings; - reducing such administrative burdens will allow the Adviser and its personnel to focus more on non-administrative matters; and - a single board cluster overseeing all operations of the Nuveen family of funds will have a better picture of all issues facing shareholders. Q. WHICH FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES ARE CHANGING? A. Your Board has proposed to amend your Fund's fundamental investment policies relating to borrowing and lending in connection with the implementation of a proposed interfund lending program. In addition, your Board has proposed amending your Fund's fundamental policy regarding investing in only municipal securities to enable your Fund to invest in non-municipal securities under certain very limited circumstances. Q. WHY IS THE FUND PROPOSING TO CHANGE ITS FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES? A. In connection with disaster recovery planning and to provide liquidity in the event that open-end funds in the Nuveen family of funds encounter higher than normal redemption requests that may follow a national disaster such as the events of September 11, 2001, your Board has authorized the Fund's participation in an interfund lending program that would allow the Nuveen Funds, including your Fund, to lend and borrow cash for temporary purposes directly to and from each other. The proposed new fundamental investment policies will enable your Fund to participate in this interfund lending program. In addition, your Board is proposing to amend your Fund's fundamental policy regarding investing in only municipal securities to enable the Fund to invest in non-municipal securities in connection with workouts of distressed credits. Q. HOW DO THE TRUSTEES OF MY FUND SUGGEST THAT I VOTE? A. After careful consideration, the trustees of your Fund unanimously recommend that you vote "FOR" each of the items proposed. Q. WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? A. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. Additionally, your immediate response to these items will help save on the costs of any future solicitations for a shareholder vote. 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 proposals or how to vote your shares, please call your financial advisor or call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787 weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 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. In addition, you may vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by computer over the internet (www.proxyvote.com) and using the control number on the proxy card. 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 proposals and to encourage you to vote.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Special Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Special Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Special 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. For each Trust abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members and will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to change each Fund's fundamental investment policies. The details of the proposals to be voted on by the shareholders and the vote required for approval of the proposals are set forth under the description of each proposal below. Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2003 will be entitled to one vote for each share held.

1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH TRUST Currently, two separate board clusters oversee the funds in the Nuveen family of funds. One board cluster comprised of the same board members oversees the funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser") and one board cluster comprised of the same board members oversees all but one of the funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"). Each current board cluster has a total of six board members who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) and who are not affiliated with Nuveen or a fund's investment adviser (the "Independent Board Members") and one board member who is an "interested person." Below is a list of the board members of each board cluster. The Boards of each Trust have proposed to consolidate both board clusters into a single board cluster so that the same individuals serve on the boards of most of the Nuveen funds. All individuals serving on both board clusters are nominated to serve on the combined board except James E. Bacon, who is retiring. Mr. Bacon currently serves as a Board Member on the NIAC board cluster. The following is a list of the nominees under the proposal who are continuing Board Members of each Trust and the nominees who are new board members: CONTINUING BOARD MEMBERS (NAC BOARD CLUSTER): Timothy R. Schwertfeger* Robert P. Bremner Lawrence H. Brown Anne E. Impellizzeri Peter R. Sawers William J. Schneider Judith M. Stockdale NEW BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES (NIAC BOARD CLUSTER): William E. Bennett Jack B. Evans William L. Kissick Thomas E. Leafstrand Sheila W. Wellington - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Interested person. Mr. Schwertfeger currently serves on both board clusters. 4 In part, the proposal to create a single board is being recommended because of the large number of retirements that will occur over the next few years. Within two years, the aggregate number of Independent Board Members that serve on both board clusters (currently 12) is expected to fall to six, due to a number of retirements because of age and/or tenure limitations for board membership. Combining the board will avoid the need to add new board members to each board cluster at various later dates to maintain the current size and structure of each board cluster and thereby avoid the costs associated with multiple meetings to fill such vacancies. In addition, combining the board ensures that each Trust will gain new board members that are already knowledgeable about Nuveen and investment companies in general. Historically, the two separate board clusters have had separate meetings but often have reviewed similar policy issues, contractual arrangements and other matters. Among other potential efficiencies, the Board of each Fund believes that consolidating the board clusters into one board would reduce the duplication of board materials and reports covering the same issues and would avoid the need for repeated presentation of the same material by the same personnel at different meetings. This would permit the Adviser and its personnel to focus on non-administrative matters. In addition, a single board overseeing all operations of the Nuveen family of funds will have a better picture of all issues facing shareholders. At its May 15, 2003 meeting, each board cluster reviewed the compensation paid to Independent Board Members and determined that compensation should be increased because of the expanded responsibilities of the Board Members due to (a) the increase in the number and types of investment companies overseen by the Board Members and (b) recent additional legal and regulatory requirements. Effective July 1, 2003, for all Nuveen Funds overseen, Independent Board Members will receive a $65,000 annual retainer, plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required at a special, non-regularly scheduled, board meeting; (c) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person at an Audit Committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other committee meetings on a day on which no regularly scheduled Board meeting is held at which in-person attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. Compensation to the Independent Board Members is allocated among the Nuveen family of funds based on assets per fund. The Boards do not anticipate any further change in the compensation schedule as a result of the board consolidation. Currently, for all Nuveen Funds overseen, the continuing Independent Board Members of the Funds receive a $60,000 annual retainer for serving as a board member of all funds affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser and a $1,750 fee per day for attendance in person or by telephone at all meetings (including any committee meetings) held on a day on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per day for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day for attendance by telephone at all meetings (including any committee meetings) held on a day on which no regular Board meeting is held, and a $500 per day fee per day for attendance in person or $250 if by telephone at a meeting of any committee, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. The proposal to combine boards, which increases the number of Board Members for each Fund, will increase the total compensation paid by each Fund to Board Members. Management, however, believes that such increase in compensation is not material to each Fund and is justified by the benefits to each Fund and its shareholders. Moreover, as the size of the combined board declines due to retirements over the next two years, the total compensation paid by a Fund to Independent Board Members will decrease to the extent fewer board members will be compensated. At each Trust's Special Meeting, twelve (12) Board Members are nominated to be elected to serve until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. For each Trust, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that Trust. 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 below unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Board Member of each Trust if elected. However, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies will be voted for substitute nominees, if any, designated by that Trust's present Board.

(1) The numbers include share equivalents of certain Nuveen Funds in which the Board Member is deemed to be invested pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members as more fully described below. On March 31, 2003, continuing Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned 578,368 common shares of all funds managed by NAC and NIAC (includes Deferred Units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each continuing Board Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of March 31, 2003, the continuing Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding common shares of each Fund. Appendix 1 sets forth the beneficial owners of at least 5% of the Funds' shares. To the best of the Trusts' knowledge, as of May 19, 2003, no person owned beneficially more than 5% of each of the Fund's outstanding shares, except as stated in Appendix 1. COMPENSATION The Board Members affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser serve without any compensation from the Funds. The Independent Board Members are paid an annual retainer and fees and expenses for Board meetings and committee meetings as described above. The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the basis of relative net asset sizes although Fund management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each Fund. The Boards of certain Nuveen Funds (the "Participating Funds") established a Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members ("Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the Participating Funds may defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected to defer at least a portion of their fees. None of the 11 Funds are Participating Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan, except Intermediate Duration, Insured Municipal, Ohio Municipal, Limited Term, Kentucky Municipal, New York Insured, Florida Municipal, All-American, Michigan Municipal, Tennessee Municipal, Connecticut Municipal and New York Municipal. The table below shows, for each continuing Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Trust to each continuing Board Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for service on the boards of the Nuveen open-end and closed-end Funds managed by NAC ("NAC Funds") and NIAC ("NIAC Funds") for the calendar year ended 2002. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of each Trust, does not receive any compensation from a Trust or any Nuveen funds.

Nuveen Investments, Inc. maintains charitable contributions programs to encourage the active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their community. These programs include a matching contributions program and a direct contributions program. The Independent Board Members of the funds managed by the Adviser are eligible to participate in the charitable contributions program of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Under the matching program, Nuveen Investments, Inc. will match the personal contributions of a Board Member to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10,000 during any calendar year. Under its direct (non-matching) program, Nuveen Investments, Inc. makes contributions to qualifying Section 501(c)(3) organizations, as approved by the Corporate Contributions Committee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. The Independent Board Members are also eligible to submit proposals to the committee requesting that contributions be made under this program to Section 501(c)(3) organizations identified by the Board Member, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000 during any calendar year. Any contribution made by Nuveen Investments, Inc. under the direct program is made solely at the discretion of the Corporate Contributions Committee. COMMITTEES The Board has five standing committees: the executive committee, the audit committee, the governance committee, the dividend committee and the valuation committee. Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger currently serve as members of the executive committee of the Board of each Trust. The executive committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the executive committee) or (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. The executive committee of each Trust held no meetings during their last fiscal year. Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are current members of the dividend committee. The dividend committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Funds' shares including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The dividend committee of each Trust held four meetings during its last fiscal year. Lawrence H. Brown and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the valuation committee for each Trust. The valuation committee oversees the Trust's Pricing Procedures including, but not limited to, the review and approval of fair value pricing determinations made by Nuveen's Valuation Group. The valuation committee of each Trust held one meeting during its last fiscal year, except Ohio Municipal held two meetings. Each Trust's Board has an audit committee composed of Independent Board Members. The audit committee monitors the accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Trusts, the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Trusts, compliance by the Trusts with legal and regulatory requirements and the independence and performance of the external and internal auditors. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Trust's independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The audit committee of each Trust held three meetings during its last fiscal year. Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Trust is committed to a governance committee composed of all Board Members who are not "interested persons" of that Trust. It identifies and recommends individuals to be nominated for election as non-interested Board Members. The committee also reviews matters relating to (1) the composition, duties, recruitment, independence and tenure of Board Members, (2) the selection and review of committee assignments, and (3) Board Member education, board meetings and board performance. The governance committee of each Trust held one meeting during its last fiscal year. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the governance committee receives suggestions from various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The governance committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members and reserves the right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection regarding the nomination of any new Board Members. 14 The Board of each Trust held four regular quarterly meetings except Municipal Trust held three regular meetings and one special board meeting during its last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Trust's Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof). THE OFFICERS The following table sets forth information as of May 1, 2003 with respect to each officer, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board Member and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers receive no compensation from the Funds. The officers of each Trust are elected by the Board on an annual basis to serve until successors are elected and qualified.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO EACH FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES The Board has proposed amending each Fund's fundamental investment policies relating to borrowing and lending in connection with the implementation of a proposed interfund lending program. In addition, the Board has proposed amending each Fund's fundamental policy regarding investing in only municipal securities to enable the Fund to invest in non-municipal securities in connection with workouts of distressed credits. BORROWING AND LENDING Each Fund's current fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing states: The Fund may not borrow money, except from banks for temporary or emergency purposes and not for investment purposes and then only in an amount not exceeding (a) 10% of the value of its assets at the time of borrowing or (b) one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets including the amount borrowed, in order to meet redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. While any such borrowings exceed 5% of such Fund's total assets, no additional purchases of investment securities will be made by such Fund. If due to market fluctuations or other reasons, the value of the Fund's assets falls below 300% of its borrowings, the Fund will reduce its borrowings within 3 business days. To do this, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. Each Fund's current fundamental policy regarding lending states: The Fund may not make loans, other than by entering into repurchase agreements and through the purchase of Municipal Obligations or temporary investments in accordance with its investment objections, policies and limitations. The Board recommends that shareholders vote to replace these policies with the following fundamental investment policy governing borrowing and the following fundamental investment policy regarding lending: The Fund may not borrow money, except as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and exemptive orders granted under the 1940 Act. The Fund may not make loans, except as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and exemptive orders granted under the 1940 Act. In connection with disaster recovery planning and to provide liquidity in the event that open-end funds in the Nuveen family of funds encounter higher than normal redemption requests that may follow a national disaster such as the events of September 11, 2001, the Boards of the Nuveen Funds have determined that an interfund lending program would allow the Nuveen Funds, including the Funds, to lend and borrow cash for temporary purposes directly to and from each other. The proposed new fundamental investment policies will enable each Trust to participate in this interfund lending program. Because an interfund lending program raises issues under various sections of the 1940 Act, in order to implement the proposal, all Nuveen Funds, including the Funds, will file an application for exemption from certain provisions of the 1940 Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The application to the SEC for exemptive relief will not limit interfund lending under the program to emergency situations and the relief, if and when granted, would allow the Adviser to set up a more regular program if it and the Board of the Trust determines that a more regular program would be in the best interests of a fund. Implementation of the interfund lending program is contingent upon the SEC granting the exemptive relief. 17 Nuveen's open-end funds are far more likely to experience large net cash outflows during an emergency situation than the closed-end funds, therefore the open-end funds will likely be the only funds that would borrow extensively under the program. However, because the closed-end funds might be able to lend money at attractive rates under the program, it is proposed that all current and future Nuveen Funds, both open-end and closed-end, may participate in the program. Because the interest earned by the lending fund on such loans is taxable, Nuveen anticipates that funds that invest primarily in municipal securities would only participate in the program as lenders if the Adviser believes that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders of such funds. Funds that invest primarily in securities other than municipal securities may also utilize the program in non-emergency situations. Currently, the Nuveen open-end funds can borrow from banks for temporary purposes and can lend to banks or other entities in the form of repurchase agreements or investment in other short-term instruments. The proposed program would reduce the open-end funds' borrowing costs and enhance their ability to earn higher rates of interest on investment of their short-term cash balances. The open-end funds would still be free to establish committed lines of credit or other borrowing arrangements with banks. It is currently anticipated that the interest rate that will be charged to the funds on any interfund loan ("Interfund Loan Rate") would be the average of the "Repo Rate"(1) and the "Bank Loan Rate."(2) The program would be administered by employees of the Adviser, including representatives of the Funds' Administration and Financial Analysis, Product Management, Portfolio Operations and Trading and/or representatives of the Portfolio Management and Research Department who are not portfolio managers ("Interfund Lending Team"). Under the proposed program, in an emergency situation, a meeting of the Interfund Lending Team would be called and the Team would collect data on the uninvested cash and borrowing requirements of the funds. Once it determines the aggregate amount of cash available for loans and borrowing demand, the Interfund Lending Team would allocate loans among borrowing funds with input from portfolio managers. The Interfund Lending Team would allocate borrowing demand and cash available for lending among the funds on what the Interfund Lending Team believes to be an equitable basis, subject to certain administrative procedures applicable to all funds, such as the time of filing requests to participate, minimum loan lot sizes, and the need to minimize the number of transactions and associated administrative costs. To reduce transaction costs, each loan normally would be allocated in a manner intended to minimize the number of funds necessary to complete the loan transaction. The method of allocation and related administrative procedures would be approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, to ensure both borrowing and lending funds participate on an equitable basis. The Adviser would (i) monitor the interest rates charged and other terms and conditions of the Interfund Loans, (ii) ensure compliance with each fund's investment policies and limitations, (iii) ensure equitable treatment of each fund, and (iv) make quarterly reports to the Board concerning any transactions by the funds under the program and the Interfund Loan Rates. Nuveen would administer the credit facility as part of its duties under its existing advisory contract with each fund and would receive no additional fee as compensation for its services. The actual terms of any Interfund Loan Program in which the Funds may participate may change from time to time from the description presented here both as a result of a regulatory action in connection with the granting of the appropriate regulatory approvals, or as approved by a Board of a Trust. Although, under the proposed new investment policies, each Fund may borrow and lend to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act, currently each Fund only intends to change its current practices with respect to borrowing and lending solely to the extent it participates in the proposed interfund lending program. However, under the proposed new investment policies, each Fund reserves the right in the future to engage in borrowing and lending to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act. INVESTMENTS IN MUNICIPAL SECURITIES Each Fund currently has the following fundamental policy: The Fund may not invest in securities other than Municipal Obligations and short-term securities, as described in the Prospectus. - --------------- (1) The "Repo Rate" for any day would be the highest rate available to the funds from investing in overnight repurchase agreements with a highly reputable counterparty. (2) The "Bank Loan Rate" for any day would be calculated by Nuveen each day an interfund loan is made according to a formula established by the Board designed to approximate the lowest interest rate at which bank short-term loans would be available to the funds. The formula would be based upon a publicly available rate (e.g., Federal Funds plus 25 basis points) and would vary with this rate so as to reflect changing bank loan rates. The Board periodically would review the continuing appropriateness of using the publicly available rate, as well as the relationship between the Bank Loan Rate and current bank loan rates that would be available to the funds. The initial formula and any subsequent modifications to the formula would be subject to the approval of the Board. 18 The Board recommends that shareholders vote to replace this policy with the following fundamental policy: The Fund may not invest in securities other than Municipal Obligations and short-term securities, as described in the Prospectus, except the Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in tax-exempt or taxable fixed-income or equity securities for the purpose of acquiring control of an issuer whose municipal bonds (a) the Fund already owns and (b) have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality, provided the Adviser determines such investment should enable the Fund to better maximize its existing investment in such issuer. In connection with distressed issuers, the revised policy would provide the Adviser with the flexibility to pursue each Fund's interests in bond workout situations. It is anticipated that the Funds would invest in such taxable fixed-income or equity securities in cases where the Adviser determines that acquiring control of management of an issuer whose municipal bonds have deteriorated or are expected to deteriorate significantly in credit quality would likely enable the Funds to better prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the issuer's credit problem. Investments in any taxable fixed-income or equity securities may produce taxable income to a Fund. VOTES REQUIRED Approval of the proposed changes to a Fund's fundamental investment policies requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of that Fund voting separately with each class of shares of the Fund voting together as a single class. The term "majority of the outstanding voting securities" as defined in the 1940 Act means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) 67% of the voting securities of the Fund present at the meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present in person or by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on the proposed changes to each fundamental investment policy. THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO EACH FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Each Board has appointed PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP independent public accountants, as independent auditors to audit the books and records of each Trust for its fiscal year. A representative of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the meeting to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders' questions. PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP has informed each Trust that it has no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Trust, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen. On May 15, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP resigned as independent accountants of the Nuveen open-end mutual funds. Each Trusts' audit committee accepted Arthur Andersen's resignation, participated in the process of evaluating new accounting firms and approved the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the new independent accountants on May 15, 2002. The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through May 15, 2002 there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years. During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 15, 2002, there have been no events that are required to be reported. Nuveen has requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. However in light of the circumstances surrounding Arthur Andersen LLP, Nuveen was not able to obtain such letter for inclusion with this proxy. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADVISER The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, serves as investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Nuveen Investments, Inc., is approximately 79% owned by The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). St. Paul is located at 385 Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102, and is principally engaged in providing property-liability insurance through subsidiaries. INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNDERWRITER Nuveen Investments, LLC (the "Underwriter"), located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund. The Underwriter is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS The Trusts do not generally hold annual shareholders' meetings, but will hold special meetings as required or deemed desirable. Because each Trust does not hold regular shareholders' meetings, the anticipated date of the next special 19 shareholders' meeting (if any) cannot be provided. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholders' meeting of a Trust should send their written proposals to the Trust at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Proposals must be received a reasonable time before a Trust begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the meeting. EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement will be paid by the Trusts. All other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Trusts pro rata based on the number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter, telephone or telegraph by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by dealers and their representatives. The Trusts have engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc., to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an estimated cost of $2,500 per Fund plus reasonable expenses. FISCAL YEAR The last fiscal year end for each Trust was as follows: Municipal Trust April 30, 2003 Multistate I May 31, 2003 Multistate II February 28, 2003 Multistate III May 31, 2003 Multistate IV May 31, 2003

Each Trust will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon request. Such written or oral requests should be directed to such Trust at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 or by calling 1-800-257-8787. Please note that only one annual report or proxy statement may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or proxy statement, or, for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of such documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of such documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above. GENERAL Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at any Special Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Special Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Trust. A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Special Meeting will be available at the offices of the Trusts, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of that Special Meeting. Failure of a quorum to be present at any Special Meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject that Trust to additional expense. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Trust's By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
