Nuveen Premier Municipal Income Fund, Inc.

811-06456

    Thirty-three Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds
(including the Nuveen Premier Municipal Income Fund, Inc.
(symbol  NPF ) (hereafter, the  Fund )) have each received a
demand letter from a law firm on behalf of purported holders
of the funds common shares. Each letter alleged that Nuveen
Fund Advisors (the funds investment adviser) and the funds
officers and Board of Directors or Trustees, as applicable (the
 Board of Trustees ) breached their fiduciary duties by
favoring the interests of holders of the funds auction rate
preferred shares ( ARPS ) over those of its common
shareholders in connection with each funds ARPS refinancing
and/or redemption activities, and demanded that the Board take
action to remedy those alleged breaches. In response to the
demand letters, each funds Board of Trustees established a
Demand Committee of certain of its disinterested and
independent members to investigate the claims. The Demand
Committee, for each fund, retained independent counsel to
assist it in conducting its investigation. Based upon its
investigation, the Demand Committee, for each fund, found
that it was not in the best interests of each fund or its
shareholders to take the actions suggested in the demand
letters, and recommended that the full Board reject the
demands made in the demand letters. After reviewing the
findings and recommendation of each Demand Committee, the
full Board of each fund unanimously adopted the Demand
Committees recommendation and each of the thirty-three
funds has since rejected the demands made in the demand
letters.

    Subsequently, all thirty-three funds that received demand
letters (including the Fund) and one fund that did not receive a
demand letter were named as nominal defendants in four
putative shareholder derivative action complaints filed in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the
 Cook County Chancery Court ). The four putative
shareholder actions have since been consolidated into one
shareholder derivative action complaint captioned Martin
Safier, et al., v. Nuveen Asset Management, et al., filed with
the Cook County Chancery Court on February 18, 2011 (the
 Complaint ). The Complaint was filed on behalf of purported
holders of each funds common shares and also names Nuveen
Fund Advisors as a defendant, together with current and former
officers and a trustee of each of the funds (together with the
nominal defendants, collectively, the  Defendants ). The
Complaint contains the same basic allegations contained in the
demand letters. The suit seeks a declaration that the Defendants
have breached their fiduciary duties, an order directing the
Defendants not to redeem any ARPS at their liquidation value
using fund assets, indeterminate monetary damages in favor of
the funds and an award of plaintiffs costs and disbursements in
pursuing the action. The plaintiffs filed a motion for
preliminary injunction to stop the funds subject to the lawsuits
from redeeming additional ARPS during the pendency of the
lawsuits. The court rejected that motion on November 23,
2010.

    On April 29, 2011, each of the Defendants filed a motion
to dismiss the Complaint, which remains pending before the
court.

    By decision dated December 16, 2011, the Court granted
the Defendants Motion to Dismiss with prejudice. It is not
known whether the plaintiffs intend to file an appeal of the
Courts decision.
