Nuveen Closed-End Funds Declare Pre-Merger Distributions
Two Nuveen Closed-End Funds announced pre-merger distributions. The specific distribution dates and amounts are detailed below. As previously announced, shareholders of Nuveen Ohio Quality Municipal Income Fund (NYSE:NUO) and Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund (NYSE:NKG), and preferred shareholders of Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund (NYSE:NZF), have approved a proposal to merge the funds. The mergers will combine each of NUO and NKG into NZF. The pre-merger distribution for each fund being acquired is intended to fully distribute the acquired fund's accumulated undistributed net investment income (UNII) prior to the closing of the mergers. NUO does not currently estimate an accumulated undistributed net investment income (UNII) balance and subsequently will not make a pre-merger distribution.
Following the mergers, NZF is expected to declare a post-closing distribution, with a record date of April 27, 2023, payable May 1, 2023. For common shareholders of NKG and NZF, the total per-common share dollar amount of the pre- and post-closing tax-exempt distributions received on May 1, 2023 will be equal to or greater than the per-common share dollar amount of the prior month's tax-exempt dividend. In addition, the post-closing tax-exempt distribution payable by NZF on May 1, 2023 will be equal to or greater than the per-common share dollar amount of the prior month's tax-exempt dividend paid by NUO.
