On February 28, 2024, the Fund's Board of Trustees adopted Amended and Restated By-Laws that eliminate the control share provisions, whose effectiveness had been suspended since February 24, 2022. The filing states that all other by-law terms are unchanged, so the change is administrative and does not alter other shareholder terms.
Board adopted Amended and Restated By-Laws on February 28, 2024
Control share provisions eliminated; their effectiveness had been suspended since February 24, 2022
Other than this change, the amended by-laws are identical to prior by-laws
The fund's board and those of other funds in the Nuveen and TIAA-CREF fund complex approved consolidating board membership so the funds share the same board members. Four current TIAA-CREF fund board members, Joseph A. Boateng, Michael A. Forrester, Thomas J. Kenny and Loren M. Starr, will join the fund's board as independent members effective January 1, 2024, and the board will have twelve members. The company says the change is expected to generate cost savings that benefit fund shareholders.

The fund's board amended its by-laws on February 24, 2022, so the control share provision is of no force and effect while a U.S. District Court judgment in favor of Saba Capital is in effect. If that judgment is reversed or nullified, the provision would be automatically reinstated, and the board said it intends to appeal. The change affects how shareholders who acquire large stakes in the fund could be allowed to vote.
Board adopted Amendment No. 1 to the by-laws on February 24, 2022.
District Court granted summary judgment in favor of Saba on February 18, 2022, on claims for rescission and declaratory judgment.
The Board and the Funds intend to appeal the District Court's decision.
The amendment applies to multiple Nuveen closed-end funds, including Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund (NYSE: NMZ).
