Nuveen to Complete Refinancing of Taxable Closed-End Fund ARPS

Business Wire
posted: 87 DAYS 7 HOURS AGO

Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today announced that the remaining portion of the outstanding auction-rate preferred shares (ARPS) of its equity and corporate debt closed-end funds will be redeemed. This final portion of outstanding ARPS totals approximately $750 million. The funds have been granted temporary exemptive relief from Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (’40 Act) from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This relief will permit the funds to temporarily operate with reduced asset coverage levels for the debt used to refinance these remaining ARPS.

The funds issuing at-par redemption notices are:

JDD   Nuveen Diversified Dividend & Income Fund
JPC Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income & Growth Fund
JQC Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income & Growth Fund 2
JTP Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund
JPS Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 2
JHP Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 3
JRS Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund
JTA Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Total Return Strategy Fund
NSL Nuveen Senior Income Fund
JFR Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund
JRO Nuveen Floating Rate Income Opportunity Fund

Once completed, this additional $750 million redemption will finish the refinancing of all remaining Nuveen equity and corporate debt closed-end fund ARPS.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have made the necessary steps so that our taxable closed-end funds can complete the final refinancing of all of their outstanding ARPS,” said Bill Adams, Executive Vice President, Nuveen Investments. “Further, we want to remind our closed-end fund investors that we continue to move forward and remain committed to refinancing all of our outstanding ARPS issued by our municipal bond closed-end funds.”
