Shareholder Meeting - Next Adjournment Ends September 29, 2014

PLEASE VOTE NOW BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT

Dear Shareholder:

According to our records, you have not voted on important proposals regarding your fund(s). Unless sufficient shareholders vote by September 29, 2014, the adjournment date for your fund’s Shareholder Meeting, your fund will not be able to implement these proposals and may incur additional proxy solicitation costs. The Shareholder Meeting will reconvene on September 29, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time at the offices of Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL.

 

 

YOUR FUND’S BOARD RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE PROPOSALS.

Please vote now to help your fund avoid further adjournments.

 

 

PROPOSALS HAVE THE SUPPORT OF AN INDEPENDENT,

NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED PROXY ADVISORY FIRM.

 

Sophisticated institutional investors often look to independent proxy advisory firms for guidance on how to vote their shares. Your fund’s proposals were reviewed by and received the support of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS), widely recognized as one of the leading independent proxy advisory firms in the nation. Hundreds of major institutional investment firms, mutual funds, and other fiduciaries throughout the country rely upon ISS’ recommendations. ISS recommends that its clients vote “FOR” each of the proposals contained in the proxy.

 

 

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE NOW ON THIS IMPORTANT MATTER REGARDING THEIR FUND.

 

It’s extremely important that you participate in the management of your investment by voting. Please take a few moments to review the information in the Joint Proxy Statement previously provided to you, and cast your vote now. You may obtain a copy of the Joint Proxy Statement at http://www.nuveenproxy.com/ProxyInfo.

 

Your Fund investment will not change as a result of Nuveen’s change of ownership. You will still own the same Fund shares before and after the Transaction. Nuveen Fund Advisors and your Fund’s sub-adviser(s) will continue to manage your Fund according to the same objectives and policies as before, and do not anticipate any significant changes to your Fund’s operations.
