Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund Announces Final Results of Tender Offer and Increase in Distribution Rate

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund (NYSE: JPI) announced the final results of a tender offer.

As previously announced, the fund conducted a tender offer allowing shareholders to offer up to 100% of their common shares for repurchase for cash at a price per share equal to 100% of the net asset value (NAV) per share as of the close of ordinary trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date of the tender offer. The tender offer expired on August 14, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

In the tender offer, 8,672,542 common shares were tendered, representing approximately 38% of the fund’s common shares outstanding. Properly tendered shares will be repurchased as promptly as practicable at $20.0081 per share, which was the NAV of the fund as of the close of ordinary trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date, August 14, 2024. Shareholders of the fund who have questions regarding the tender offer should contact Georgeson, LLC, the information agent for the fund’s tender offer, at [phone].

As a result of the successful completion of the tender offer, the proposals described in the fund’s proxy statement dated February 26, 2024 and in the offer to purchase relating to the tender offer will be implemented. In particular:

• The fund’s declaration of trust will be amended effective August 19, 2024 to eliminate the term structure of the fund. The amendment was previously approved by the fund’s shareholders at the fund’s annual meeting held on April 12, 2024, as adjourned to July 17, 2024.
• The fund’s name will change to “Nuveen Preferred Securities & Income Opportunities Fund” effective August 19, 2024 (the fund’s common shares will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker JPI).
• Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the investment adviser to the fund, will waive 50% of the fund’s net management fees beginning August 19, 2024 and continuing over the first year following the elimination of the term structure.

In addition, the Board of Trustees of the fund has approved an increase in the fund’s monthly distribution rate as outlined below. The distribution change is intended to help support secondary market trading in fund shares and enhance shareholder value. It is anticipated that to maintain the declared distribution rate, the fund may make distributions from sources other than net investment income. In this regard, the source of regular distributions may include a return of capital.

The following dates apply to today’s monthly distribution declaration for the fund:

Record Date	September 13, 2024
Ex-Dividend Date	September 13, 2024
Payable Date	October 1, 2024

			Monthly Distribution Per Share
Ticker	Exchange	Fund Name	Amount	Change From Previous Month	Percentage Increase
JPI	NYSE	Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund	$0.1660	$0.0680	69.4%

The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, the Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event the Fund distributes more than its net investment income during any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. To the extent that a distribution includes a return of capital the NAV per share may erode. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at the time of the distribution which may be viewed at www.nuveen.com/CEFdistributions. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.
