The annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Nuveen New York AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: NRK) (the “Fund”) has been scheduled for August 15, 2024.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote for the election of trustees to the Board of Trustees as follows:

Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2024 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

On April 18, 2024, the Fund received a notice from Karpus Investment Management Profit Sharing Plan Fund B – Conservative Bond Fund of its intention to (i) nominate three persons for election as Class III Trustees at the Annual Meeting and (ii) present at the Annual Meeting a proposal to terminate the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisers, LLC (the “Karpus Notice”). The Board of Trustees of the Fund intends to meet to consider the Karpus Notice and make a recommendation in due course that it believes will best serve the interests of the Fund and all of its shareholders.

Pursuant to the Fund’s By-Laws, because the number of persons nominated for election as Class III Trustees, for election by holders of common shares and preferred shares, voting together as a single class, exceeds the number of Class III Trustees to be elected, the election of Class III Trustees will be considered a “Contested Election,” and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter will be required to elect trustees.

This communication is not a solicitation of a proxy from any Fund shareholder. The Board will present its recommendation regarding proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting and trustee nominees in the Fund’s proxy statement and other materials, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and made available to all shareholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. Promptly after filing its definitive proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting (the “2024 Proxy Statement”) with the SEC, the Fund will mail the 2024 Proxy Statement and a WHITE proxy card to each shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Fund, its trustees and executive officers and certain officers and employees of Nuveen may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.

Information concerning the trustees and executive officers of the Fund is set forth in the Fund’s definitive proxy statement for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed on June 30, 2023 (the “2023 Proxy Statement”), in the Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 and in a current report on Form 8-K filed by the Fund on October 13, 2023. As set forth in the 2023 Proxy Statement, as of May 31, 2023, each trustee’s individual beneficial shareholdings of the Fund constitutes less than 1% of the outstanding shares of such Fund and the trustees and executive officers of the Fund as a group beneficially own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Additional information regarding the interests of such potential participants will be included in the 2024 Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Annual Meeting.

Promptly after filing its definitive 2024 Proxy Statement with the SEC, the Fund will mail the definitive 2024 Proxy Statement and a WHITE proxy card to each shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE 2024 PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT THE FUND WILL FILE WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
