Nuveen Closed-End Funds Declare Distributions

Several Nuveen closed-end funds have declared distributions. These funds represent investment strategies for investors seeking diversified sources of cash flow to prepare for and sustain their retirement income needs. For further information regarding fund distributions, including earnings, undistributed net investment income, and notices, please visit www.nuveen.com/cef.

The Nuveen Variable Rate Preferred & Income Fund (NYSE:NPFD) has announced a distribution rate increase of approximately 28% and Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund (NYSE:NPCT) has announced a distribution rate increase of approximately 10% to deliver higher monthly cash flows to shareholders. These changes are intended to help support secondary market trading in fund shares and improve each fund's discount to NAV. It is anticipated that to maintain the declared distribution rates, the funds may make distributions from sources other than the current net investment income of the funds. In this regard, the source of monthly distributions may include a return of capital.

Shareholders can expect regular distribution information to be posted on www.nuveen.com on the first business day of each month. To ensure that our shareholders have access to the latest information, timely distribution and fund updates can be subscribed to at www.nuveen.com/subscriptions, under the closed-end funds tab of the Product Documents section. You can also follow updates by navigating to the Closed-End Fund section of our Resource Center, located at www.nuveen.com/resource-center.

Monthly Distributions

The funds listed in the tables below have adopted a policy to make regular monthly cash distributions to holders of its common shares (stated in terms of a fixed cents per common share dividend distribution rate which may be set from time to time). Each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, each Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event a Fund distributes more than its net investment income during any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. To the extent that a distribution includes a return of capital the NAV per share may erode. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at the time of the distribution which may be viewed at www.nuveen.com/CEFdistributions. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholders' 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the distribution. A distribution including return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."
