Dear Shareholder:
We recently sent you proxy materials concerning important proposals affecting your fund(s), which will be considered at a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the fund(s) on Monday, December 22, 2014 at the offices of Nuveen Investments. This letter was sent because you held shares in the fund(s) on the record date and we have not received your vote.
Your Fund held a special meeting of shareholders (along with meetings of shareholders of several other Nuveen funds) on August 5, 2014 (the “August Meeting”) to seek shareholder approval of certain proposals set forth herein. If you were a shareholder of your Fund on June 6, 2014, you would have received proxy materials related to the August Meeting. However, your Fund was unable to achieve attendance, in person or by proxy, of a sufficient number of shareholders to approve the proposals at the August Meeting and any adjournments thereof. It is extremely important that you participate in the management of your investment by voting or re-casting your vote as votes cast in connection with the August Meeting will not be recognized at this meeting.
YOUR FUND’S BOARD RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSALS
