Nuveen Funds
Meeting of Shareholders Adjourned
Dear Shareholder:
We recently distributed proxy materials regarding the Meeting of Shareholders of the Nuveen
Funds on Friday, October 12, 2007, at 10:00 a.m., Central time. Due to insufficient shareholder
response, the meeting has been adjourned. Our current records indicate that we have not yet
received your voting instructions.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
Shareholders are being asked to consider several important proposals as more fully described
in the materials sent to you. One of the proposals that you are being asked to consider involves
the recent announcement by Nuveen Investments, Inc., the parent company of Nuveen Asset Management,
your Funds investment adviser, of its intention to be acquired by investors led by Madison
Dearborn Partners, LLC. The acquisition requires the shareholders to approve a new Investment
Management Agreement. Your Fund investment will not change as a result of the change of ownership
and Nuveen Asset Management will continue to manage your fund according to the same objectives and
policies. The materials previously sent to you contain important information regarding this
proposal and other proposals that shareholders are being asked to consider. Please read those
materials carefully.
Your Funds Board recommends shareholders vote FOR each of the proposals.
If you have any questions regarding the proposals, please call Computershare Fund Services, your
Funds proxy agent, at 1-866-434-7510. 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.
We urge you to act promptly to reduce the need for additional solicitation efforts or costly
