In these transactions, each fund completed an exchange offer in which it refinanced its outstanding VMTP shares with newly issued VMTP shares with a term redemption date of August 1, 2019. Each fund also sold for cash additional VMTP shares totaling $72.0 million (NAD), $29.0 million (NNC), $8.7 million (NMS), $30.0 million (NMY), and $53.0 million (NAN) respectively, in aggregate liquidation preference. The net proceeds from the sale of additional VMTP shares will be invested in accordance with each fund’s investment policies.

VMTP dividends will be set weekly at a spread to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA). VMTP shares are preferred securities of each fund and are senior, with priority in all respects, to each fund's common shares in liquidation and as to payments of dividends.
