Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund (NYSE: JPI) 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 as of the close of ordinary trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date of the tender offer. The tender offer expired on August 14, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Based on preliminary information, 8,511,627 common shares were tendered, representing approximately 37% 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 attributable to common shares 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 aggregate net assets attributable to common shares after taking into account shares properly tendered would be less than $70 million, the tender offer will not be completed, no common shares will be repurchased, and the fund will proceed terminate on its scheduled termination date.

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 August 19, 2024. Accordingly, the fund intends to implement the proposal described in the fund’s proxy statement dated February 26, 2024 and in the offer to purchase relating to the tender offer. In particular, anticipated to be effective on August 19, 2024, JPI’s term structure will be eliminated and the fund’s name will change to “Nuveen Preferred Securities & Income Opportunities Fund.” The common shares of the fund will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the current ticker symbol. In addition, Nuveen will waive 50% of its net management fees over the first year following the elimination of the term.
