(the “Prior Applicants”) under Sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”),1 and Rule 17d-1 thereunder, permitting certain joint transactions otherwise prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder (the “Prior Order”).2 In particular, the Prior Order permits Regulated Funds (as defined in the Prior Order) and Affiliated Funds (as defined in the Prior Order) to participate in the same investment opportunities where such participation would otherwise be prohibited under Section 17(d) or 57(a)(4) and the rules under the 1940 Act.

II.
APPLICANTS’ PROPOSAL

A.
Requested Amendment
Under the Prior Order, Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds can only participate in Follow-On Investments if they are invested in the issuer. The Order, if granted, would revise the definition of Follow-On Investment to permit Affiliated Funds to participate in Follow-On Investments in issuers in which at least one Regulated Fund is invested, but such Affiliated Funds are not invested. This relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in the issuer.

B.
Need for Relief
Affiliated Funds often do not have infinite lives like many Regulated Funds. As a result, an Affiliated Fund that is invested in a portfolio company may begin the process of winding down, during which it makes no further investments. If the portfolio company makes a capital call or requests further funding once the Affiliated Fund is in wind down, the Affiliated Fund will not be able to participate and in some cases, only one Regulated Fund is left to fulfill the portfolio company’s request. In that case, either the Regulated Fund will be forced to make the investment by itself, which may not be the appropriate investment amount for the Regulated Fund, or the Regulated Fund will not be able to fulfill its commitment to the portfolio company. If the Regulated Fund does not have the available capital to fulfill the portfolio company’s request, the portfolio company may be negatively affected, which could negatively affect the Regulated Fund

CONFIDENTIAL

shareholders. In addition, if the Regulated Fund invested more than the appropriate amount, that could also negatively affect the Regulated Fund shareholders.
Allowing Affiliated Funds that do not have an investment in the portfolio company to participate in Follow-On Investments can protect Regulated Fund shareholders from harm as another Affiliated Fund is winding down. Because the relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in an issuer, the Order could not be relied on to cause a Regulated Fund to be used to prop up an affiliate’s investment.

C.
Precedent
Applicants submit that the requested Order is consistent with the temporary relief granted by the Commission on April 8, 2020.4
III.
STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
Applicants note that the Commission may grant the requested relief for the same reasons set forth in Section IV, “Statement in Support of Relief Requested,” of the Prior Application.
IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS
Applicants agree that any Order of the Commission granting the requested relief will be subject to all of the representations and conditions in the Prior Order. The only change is that the definition of “Follow-On Investment” in the Prior Application will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following definition:
Follow-On Investment” means (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Fund, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Fund and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Fund does not currently have an investment. An investment in an issuer includes, but is not limited to, the exercise of warrants, conversion privileges or other rights to purchase securities of the issuer.5

All existing entities that currently rely on the Prior Order and intend to rely on the Order have been named as Applicants and any existing or future entities that may rely on the Order in the future will comply with the terms and conditions of the Order as set forth in or incorporated into this Application.

II.
APPLICANTS’ PROPOSAL

A.
Requested Amendment
Under the Prior Order, Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds can only participate in Follow-On Investments if they are invested in the issuer. The Order, if granted, would revise the definition of Follow-On Investment to permit Affiliated Funds to participate in Follow-On Investments in issuers in which at least one Regulated Fund is invested, but such Affiliated Funds are not invested. This relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in the issuer.

B.
Need for Relief

Affiliated Funds often do not have infinite lives like many Regulated Funds. As a result, an Affiliated Fund that is invested in a portfolio company may begin the process of winding down, during which it makes no further investments. If the portfolio company makes a capital call or requests further funding once the Affiliated Fund  is in wind down, the Affiliated Fund will not be able to participate and in some cases, only one Regulated Fund is left to fulfill the portfolio company’s request. In that case, either the Regulated Fund will be forced to make the investment by itself, which may not be the appropriate investment amount for the Regulated Fund, or the Regulated Fund will not be able to fulfill its commitment to the portfolio company. If the Regulated Fund does not have the available capital to fulfill the portfolio company’s request, the portfolio company may be negatively affected, which could negatively affect the Regulated Fund shareholders. In addition, if the Regulated Fund invested more than the appropriate amount, that could also negatively affect the Regulated Fund shareholders.

Allowing Affiliated Funds that do not have an investment in the portfolio company to participate in Follow-On Investments can protect Regulated Fund shareholders from harm as another Affiliated Fund is winding down. Because the relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in an issuer, the Order could not be relied on to cause a Regulated Fund to be used to prop up an affiliate’s investment.

C.
Precedent

Applicants submit that the requested Order is consistent with the temporary relief granted by the Commission on April 8, 2020.34

III.
STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF REQUESTED

Applicants note that the Commission may grant the requested relief for the same reasons set forth in Section IV, “Statement in Support of Relief Requested,” of the Prior Application.

IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS

Applicants agree that any Order of the Commission granting the requested relief will be subject to all of the representations and conditions in the Prior Order. The only change is that the definition of “Follow-On Investment” in the Prior Application will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following definition:

Follow-On Investment” means (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Fund, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Fund and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Fund does not currently have an investment. An investment in an issuer includes, but is not limited to, the exercise of warrants, conversion privileges or other rights to purchase securities of the issuer.45

o
Churchill Asset Management LLC (“CAM”), a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the investment adviser to NC SLF and NCPCIF on behalf of itself and its successors,3and serves as a sub-adviser to NCDL on behalf of itself and its successors. CAM is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).

o
Nuveen Churchill Advisors LLC (“NCA”), a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the investment adviser to NCDL on behalf of itself and its successors. NCA is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act.

o
Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”), a Delaware limited liability company that serves as a sub-adviser to NCPCIF on behalf of itself and its successors. NAM is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act.

o
The investment advisers controlled by TIAA (as defined below) that are investment advisers registered under the Advisers Act, as identified on Schedule B (the “TIAA Advisers”, together with CAM, NCA, and NAM, the “Existing Advisers”). All of the Existing Advisers are under the common control of TIAA. Each of the Existing Advisers qualify as an Adviser under the Prior Order.

Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”), the parent company for the Advisers, MM Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA and any future direct or indirect wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of TIAA that intend to participate in Co-Investment Transactions, (collectively, the “TIAA Accounts”).

Certain Affiliated Funds (as identified on Schedule B hereto), each of which is a separate and distinct legal entity and each of (i) would be an investment company but for Section 3(c)(1), 3(c)(5)(C) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, or (ii) does not meet the definition of investment company under the 1940 Act and qualifies as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, because substantially all of its assets would consist of real properties (together with the TIAA Accounts, the 4Existing Affiliated Funds” and collectively with the Existing Regulated

 The term successor as applied to each Adviser, means an entity which results from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or change in the type of business organization.

 As noted in the Prior Application although TIAA is excluded from investment company status by Section 3(c)(3),
the Applicants request that TIAA be permitted to participate in Co-Investment Transactions as an Affiliated Fund. (TIAA also requests relief to utilize wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries to hold investments acquired in a
Co-Investment Transaction in a principal capacity on its behalf that are excluded from investment company status by Section 3(c) of 1940 Act or Rule 3a-7 under 1940 Act, or that do not meet the definition of investment company under 1940 Act.) The Applicants do not believe that TIAA’s participation in Co-Investment Transactions raises any additional legal or policy concerns not otherwise raised by allowing a Regulated Fund to co-invest with one or more Affiliated Funds due to the Advisers’ existing investment allocation procedures as enhanced as described herein.
TIAA is a client of certain of the Advisers with respect to one or more investment strategies to be pursued by the Regulated Funds in the same way that the other Affiliated Funds are clients of certain Advisers. Although portions of the TIAA Accounts’ assets may be managed by an investment adviser that is not an Adviser, only the portion of the TIAA Accounts’ assets for which an Adviser has investment discretion will participate in
Co-Investment Transactions.

Funds, the Existing Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, and the Existing Advisers, the Applicants”). Each of the Existing Affiliated Funds is advised and sub-advised, as applicable, by one or more Existing Advisers.

All Applicants are eligible to rely on the Prior Order. All existing entities that currently rely on the Prior Order and intend to rely on the Order have been named as Applicants and any existing or future entities that may rely on the Order in the future will comply with the terms and conditions of the Order as set forth in or incorporated into this Application.

II.
APPLICANTS’ PROPOSAL

A.
Requested Amendment
Under the Prior Order, Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds can only participate in Follow-On Investments if they are invested in the issuer. The Order, if granted, would revise the definition of Follow-On Investment to permit Affiliated Funds to participate in Follow-On Investments in issuers in which at least one Regulated Fund is invested, but such Affiliated Funds are not invested. This relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in the issuer.

B.
Need for Relief

Affiliated Funds often do not have infinite lives like many Regulated Funds. As a result, an Affiliated Fund that is invested in a portfolio company may begin the process of winding down, during which it makes no further investments. If the portfolio company makes a capital call or requests further funding once the Affiliated Fund is in wind down, the Affiliated Fund will not be able to participate and in some cases, only one Regulated Fund is left to fulfill the portfolio company’s request. In that case, either the Regulated Fund will be forced to make the investment by itself, which may not be the appropriate investment amount for the Regulated Fund, or the Regulated Fund will not be able to fulfill its commitment to the portfolio company. If the Regulated Fund does not have the available capital to fulfill the portfolio company’s request, the portfolio company may be negatively affected, which could negatively affect the Regulated Fund shareholders. In addition, if the Regulated Fund invested more than the appropriate amount, that could also negatively affect the Regulated Fund shareholders.

Allowing Affiliated Funds that do not have an investment in the portfolio company to participate in Follow-On Investments can protect Regulated Fund shareholders from harm as another Affiliated Fund is winding down. Because the relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in an issuer, the Order could not be relied on to cause a Regulated Fund to be used to prop up an affiliate’s investment.

Applicants submit that the requested Order is consistent with the temporary relief granted by the Commission on April 8, 2020.54

III.
STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF REQUESTED

Applicants note that the Commission may grant the requested relief for the same reasons set forth in Section IV, “Statement in Support of Relief Requested,” of the Prior Application.

IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS

Applicants agree that any Order of the Commission granting the requested relief will be subject to all of the representations and conditions in the Prior Order. The only change is that the definition of “Follow-On Investment” in the Prior Application will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following definition:

Follow-On Investment” means (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Fund, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Fund and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Fund does not currently have an investment. An investment in an issuer includes, but is not limited to, the exercise of warrants, conversion privileges or other rights to purchase securities of the issuer.65
