**OFFERING HIGHLIGHTS**

Why should I exercise my rights?

*The Advisor believes exposure to global high-income securities continues to deliver value to investors through high current income and potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns compared to other fixed income asset classes.*

The Advisor has experience delivering durable income through credit specialization.

• Nuveen
 has a long history of investing in global high-income securities with over 70 investment
 professionals who
oversee more than $78 billion<sup>1</sup> in assets across securitized credit, leveraged finance, and emerging market debt/non-U.S
developed sectors, giving us scale, resources, and access that are necessary for success.

The Advisor has identified opportunities to add exposure to specific securitized credit sectors, which it believes have the potential to offer incremental yield compared to corporate debt at similar rating levels.

Based on current market conditions, the Advisor intends to invest a portion of the rights offering proceeds in:

•  ***Asset-Backed Securities (ABS).*** Complexity
 premiums associated with novel structuring of collateral as well as idiosyncratic risk
 exposures can provide high levels of income.

•  ***Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS).*** Several
 years of concern around commercial real estate (CRE) has depressed pricing and our highly
 experienced research team believes it can find significant value in higher-yielding,
 shorter duration, highly diversified exposure to CRE loans.

•  ***Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs).*** A n
 "all-weather" investment that can provide enhanced yield, diversification
 and opportunistic tactical management opportunities.

The Advisor has identified opportunities to add exposure to non-U.S. Dollar (USD) denominated debt securities, which it believes have the potential to offer incremental yield relative to similar USD denominated debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Based
 on current market conditions, the Advisor intends to invest a portion of the rights offering
 proceeds in non-USD denominated debt securities (hedged back to USD), which the Advisor
 believes can offer attractive yields due to differences in the pricing of credit spreads
 between non-USD and USD markets.

The Advisor has identified opportunities to buy senior loans that it believes are attractively valued and are outliers versus the broader market, providing attractive income and potential for capital appreciation.

• Based
 on current market conditions, the Advisor intends to invest a portion of the rights offering
 proceeds in performing senior loans discounted to par. The Advisor believes this segment
 of the loan market represents an attractive opportunity to enhance the Fund's portfolio
 yields and potential for capital appreciation.

**More information about the Fund** 

• The
 Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income through a diversified portfolio
 of global high-income securities that may span the capital structure and credit spectrum,
 including high-yield bonds from the U.S. and developed and emerging markets, as well
 as preferred and convertible securities.

• Its
 managed assets will include at least 65% in securities rated below investment grade.
 Up to 15% of its managed assets may be invested in unhedged non-U.S. dollar denominated
 bonds; derivatives may be used for hedging purposes only. The Fund uses leverage.

<sup>1</sup> As of 30 Jun 2025. Combined assets under management (AUM) for Nuveen Leveraged Finance, Securitized Credit, and EM debt/non-U.S. Developed.

<sup>2</sup>Distributions are currently estimated to include the following amounts from sources other than net investment income: 0% capital gains and 3% return of capital. If a distribution is estimated to include anything other than net investment income, the Fund provides a Section 19(a) notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time which may be viewed at nuveen.com/CEFdistributions. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholders' 1099-DIVforms after the end of the year. You should not draw any conclusions about a fund's past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate. Distribution Rate on market price is calculated by annualizing the most recent declared regular distribution and dividing by the fund's market price. Special distributions, including special capital gains distributions, are not included in the calculation.

**PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND PROSPECTUS FOR MORE INFORMATION**

**The common shares may decline in value or even lose all of their value. The accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus should be read carefully before investing.**

**CERTAIN RISKS.** Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that investors may receive little or no return on their investment or may lose part or all of their investment. Below is a summary of certain principal risks of investing in the Fund. For a more complete discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund, see "Special Characteristics and Risks of the Rights Offering" in the prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" in the prospectus. Investors should consider carefully the following principal risks before investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is subject to investment and market risk, including the possible loss of an investor's entire investment. Before making an investment decision, a prospective investor should (i) consider the suitability of this investment with respect to his or her investment objectives and personal situation and (ii) consider factors such as his or her personal net worth, income, age, risk tolerance and liquidity needs.

**TAXATION.** The Fund has elected to be treated and has qualified and intends to continue to qualify annually to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, the Fund generally will not pay corporate level federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that it currently distributes to its common shareholders. To qualify and maintain its qualification as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of its net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. See "Taxation" and "Tax Matters" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, respectively.

**DILUTION.** Record date shareholders who do not fully exercise their rights will, at the completion of the Offer, own a smaller proportional interest in the Fund than owned prior to the Offer. The completion of the Offer will result in immediate voting dilution for such common shareholders. In addition, if the Subscription Price is less than the net asset value per common share as of the expiration date, the completion of this Offer will result in an immediate dilution of the net asset value per common share for all existing common shareholders (i.e., will cause the net asset value per common share of the Fund to decrease). It is anticipated that existing common shareholders will experience immediate dilution even if they fully exercise their rights. Such dilution is not currently determinable because it is not known how many common shares will be subscribed for, what the net asset value per common share or market price of the Fund's common shares will be on the expiration date or what the Subscription Price per common share will be. Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC ("Nuveen Fund Advisors"), and not the Fund or its common shareholders, will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the rights offering. Offering expenses borne by Nuveen Fund Advisors are estimated to be approximately $375,000 in the aggregate. Nuveen Fund Advisors' commitment to bear all costs of the rights offering will reduce the effects of any dilution as a result of the rights offering. See "Summary of Fund Expenses" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for more information.
