The Board of Trustees of Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Term Fund (NYSE: NID) and Nuveen Intermediate Duration Quality Municipal Term Fund (NYSE: NIQ) has approved a proposal that will allow shareholders of the fund the opportunity to maintain their investment in the fund and exposure to leveraged, intermediate duration municipal securities.

In light of the upcoming scheduled terminations of NID on March 31, 2023 and NIQ on June 30, 2023, the proposals ask shareholders of each NID and NIQ to vote to amend their respective fund’s declaration of trust to eliminate the term. For each fund, if the amendment is approved by shareholders, the fund will conduct a tender offer for 100% of its outstanding common shares at net asset value. If the fund’s common assets taking into account common shares properly tendered in the tender offer would be $70 million or greater, the tender offer will be completed and the fund’s term will be eliminated. If the fund’s common assets after the tender offer would be less than $70 million, the tender offer will be cancelled with no common shares repurchased, and instead, the fund will proceed to terminate as scheduled.

If a fund’s term is eliminated, the fund’s name will change to reflect the elimination—NID’s name will change to “Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Fund” and NIQ’s name will change to “Nuveen Intermediate Duration Quality Municipal Fund.” In addition, if a fund’s term is eliminated, the common shares of the fund will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the current ticker symbol, and Nuveen will waive 50% of its net management fees over the first year following the elimination of the term, which may enhance the net earnings of the fund.

The changes described above will take effect with respect to NID or NIQ only if shareholders of the fund approve the proposal described above and the tender offer condition is satisfied.

More information on the proposals will be contained in proxy materials for the funds expected to be filed in the near future.
