Dear Shareholder:

Unless sufficient shareholders vote by September 30, 2014, the adjournment date for your fund’s Special Shareholders Meeting, your fund will not be able to implement this proposal and may incur additional proxy solicitation costs. The Special Shareholders Meeting will reconvene on September 30, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., Central Time at the offices of Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED PROXY ADVISORY FIRM.

Sophisticated institutional investors often look to independent proxy advisory firms for guidance on how to vote their shares.

(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 the proposal contained in the proxy.

/AmericanIncomeFund_MRF_proxystatement.pdf.

The Board believes that the Reorganization will achieve savings and operating efficiencies by simplifying the legal administration of the Fund through the increased standardization of charter documents among the Nuveen Funds, most of which are organized as Massachusetts business trusts. Among such potential efficiencies are lower expenses, particularly legal expenses, associated with compliance by such Nuveen Funds with Massachusetts law only, rather than with both Virginia and Massachusetts law.
