NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Common and preferred shareholders of Nuveen Ohio Municipal Quality Income Fund (NYSE: NUO) and Nuveen Georgia Municipal Quality Income Fund (NYSE: NKG), and preferred shareholders of Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund (NYSE: NZF), have approved a proposal to merge the funds. The mergers will combine each of NUO and NKG into NZF. Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, the transactions are expected to become effective before the market opens on April 17, 2023.
The monthly distributions typically declared the first business day of the month for NUO, NKG, and NZF will be replaced by pre-merger distributions, which, to the extent declared, will be announced on April 3, 2023 with a record date of April 14, 2023. The payable date will remain May 1, 2023. Following the transactions, the surviving fund, NZF, may also declare an additional post-merger distribution, which, to the extent made, is expected to have a record date of April 27, 2023 and be payable May 1, 2023. The total per-common share dollar amount of the pre- and, to the extent made, post-merger tax-exempt distributions received by common shareholders of each fund on May 1, 2023 are expected to be equal to or greater than the per-common share dollar amount of the prior month’s tax-exempt distribution of each fund prior to the mergers.
