On February 28, 2024, the fund's Board of Trustees adopted Amended and Restated By-Laws that eliminate the fund's "control share" provisions, which had already been suspended since February 24, 2022. The filing states that the rest of the by-laws are unchanged, so this is a governance housekeeping step for shareholders.

The Fund's board and boards of other Nuveen and TIAA-CREF-advised funds approved combining board membership so the funds are overseen by the same trustees. Starting January 1, 2024, the board will have twelve members, with four new independent members added, and trustees Jack B. Evans and William C. Hunter are expected to retire on December 31, 2023. The filing says the change is expected to generate cost savings and efficiencies that would benefit shareholders.

On February 24, 2022, the Fund's Board adopted an amendment suspending the by-laws' control share provision, which limits voting rights for shareholders who acquire common shares in a Control Share Acquisition unless other shareholders approve. The change followed a February 18, 2022 U.S. District Court summary judgment in favor of Saba Capital Management on claims that the provision violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board says it intends to appeal, and the provision will be reinstated automatically if the judgment is reversed or otherwise nullified.
