NTC Nuveen Connecticut Quality Municipal Income Fund

Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as individual investors, today announced that two municipal bond closed-end funds have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission notices of intention to redeem all of their respective outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) shares. The redemption price will be the $10 liquidation preference per MTP share, plus an additional amount representing the final accumulated distribution amounts owed. Each fund expects to finance the MTP share redemptions with the proceeds of newly issued Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (VMTP) shares, and the redemptions are contingent upon the completion of all aspects of the VMTP share placements by each Fund, which may not occur as planned. Official notification of the redemptions will be delivered to MTP shareholders of each Fund at a later date through The Depository Trust Company (DTC). The anticipated date of each redemption is March 3, 2014.

The funds filing the notices and a description of their outstanding MTP shares are as follows:
