Nuveen Municipal Closed-End Funds Announce Shareholder Approval of Reorganization

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Common shareholders of Nuveen Enhanced Municipal Value Fund (NYSE: NEV) and preferred shareholders of Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund (NYSE: NZF) have approved the funds’ reorganization. The reorganization will combine NEV into NZF. Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to become effective before the market opens on June 6, 2022.

The monthly distributions typically declared the first business day of the month for NEV and NZF will be replaced by pre-reorganization distributions, which, to the extent declared, will be announced on May 24, 2022 with a record date of June 3, 2022. The payable date will remain July 1, 2022. Following the transaction, the surviving fund, NZF, may also declare an additional post-reorganization distribution, which, to the extent made, is expected to have a record date of June 16, 2022 and be payable July 1, 2022. The total per-common share dollar amount of the pre- and, to the extent made, post-reorganization tax-exempt distributions received by common shareholders of each fund on July 1, 2022 are expected to be equal to or greater than the per-common share dollar amount of the prior month’s tax-exempt distribution of each fund prior to the reorganization.
