 Nuveen, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). TIAA is a life insurance company founded in 1918 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is the companion organization of College Retirement Equities Fund. As of September 30, 2025, Nuveen managed approximately $1.4 trillion in assets, of which approximately $154.6 billion was managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors.

Unless earlier terminated as described below, each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with Nuveen Fund Advisors will remain in effect until May 1, 2026. Each Investment Management Agreement continues in effect from year to year so long as such continuation is approved at least annually by: (1) the Board or the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; and (2) a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the Investment Management Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each Investment Management Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by either the Fund or Nuveen Fund Advisors upon 60 days’ written notice and is automatically terminated in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to each Investment Management Agreement, each Fund has agreed to pay an annual management fee for the overall advisory and administrative services and general office facilities provided by Nuveen Fund Advisors. Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components—a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets of Nuveen-branded closed- and open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States, and a specific fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets of such Fund. This pricing structure enables the Funds’ shareholders to benefit from growth in assets within each individual Fund as well as from growth of complex-wide assets managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors.

For New Jersey Municipal’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, Pennsylvania Municipal’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, Missouri Municipal’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, and the Acquiring Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the effective management fee rates, expressed as a percentage of average total daily managed assets (including assets attributable to leverage), were 0.58%, 0.59%, 0.61%, and 0.67%, respectively.
