NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nuveen Preferred and Income 2022 Term Fund (NYSE: JPT) announced the preliminary 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 per share determined on the date the tender offer expired. The tender offer expired on February 17, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Based on preliminary information, 2,419,994 common shares were tendered, representing approximately 35% of the fund’s common shares outstanding. These figures do not include shares tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery.

The completion of the fund’s tender offer is subject to certain conditions, including that the aggregate net assets of the fund must equal or exceed $70 million as of the expiration date of the tender offer, taking into account the amounts that would be paid to shareholders who have properly tendered their shares. If the fund’s net assets after the tender offer would be less than $70 million, the tender offer will not be completed and no common shares will be repurchased.

The fund currently anticipates the satisfaction of all tender offer conditions and a successful completion of the tender offer and expects to announce the final results of the offer on February 24, 2022. Accordingly, the fund intends to implement the restructuring described in the fund’s proxy statement dated October 20, 2021 and in the offer to purchase relating to the tender offer.
