The pre-merger distribution is intended to fully distribute the acquired fund’s accumulated undistributed net investment income (UNII) prior to the reorganization going effective.

Following the merger, the acquiring fund, Nuveen Build America Bond Fund (NYSE:NBB), to be renamed Nuveen Taxable Municipal Income Fund upon completion of the merger, is expected to declare an additional post-merger distribution, payable December 6, 2018. The total dollar amount of the pre- and post-merger distributions received on December 6, 2018 will be equal to or greater than the shareholders’ prior monthly dividend amount. Distributions are sourced entirely from net investment income, unless noted otherwise.
