Nuveen Closed-End Funds Declare Pre-Merger Distributions

Nuveen today announced that three Nuveen Closed-End Funds have declared pre-merger distributions. The specific distribution dates and amounts are detailed below. As previously announced, common and preferred shareholders, as applicable, of Nuveen Preferred and Income Fund (NYSE: JPT), Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (NYSE: JPS), and Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund (NYSE: JPC), have approved a proposal to merge the funds. The mergers will combine each of JPT and JPS into JPC. 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.

Following the mergers, JPC is expected to declare a post-closing distribution, with a record date of November 16, 2023, payable December 1, 2023. For common shareholders of each fund, the total per-common share dollar amount of the pre- and post-closing distributions received on December 1, 2023 will be equal to or greater than the per-common share dollar amount of the prior month’s dividend.
