ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS ADJOURNED
TO GIVE SHAREHOLDERS MORE TIME TO VOTE
Dear Shareholder:
We recently sent you proxy materials concerning an important proposal affecting your fund which was
considered at the Annual Shareholders Meeting held on Wednesday June 17, 2009. The meeting has been
adjourned in order to allow more time for shareholders to cast their votes. The meeting will
reconvene on Friday July 24, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. Central time at the offices of Nuveen Investments,
333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL. Our records indicate that we have not yet received your
vote. If you have not yet voted, we urge you to vote as soon as possible in order to help your fund
avoid the need for additional costly solicitation efforts.
| |
ü |
|
Your fund’s Board recommends you vote “FOR” each of the proposals. |
| ü |
|
Proposals also have the support of a nationally-recognized proxy advisory firm. |
Because over time Nuveen closed-end funds have seen increased institutional share ownership, the
funds sought and received the support of ISS Governance Services Inc. (ISS). ISS is widely
recognized as the leading independent proxy advisory firm in the nation. Its recommendations are
relied upon by hundreds of major institutional investment firms, mutual funds, and other
fiduciaries throughout the country. ISS
recommends that its clients vote “FOR” each of the proposals contained in the proxy.
The proxy materials we sent you contain important information regarding the proposals that you and
other shareholders are being asked to consider. Please read the materials carefully. If you have
any questions regarding the proposals, please call Computershare Fund Services, your Fund’s proxy
agent, at 1-866-963-5818. Representatives are available Monday through Friday between the hours of
9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. and Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.
