Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
 
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
A pattern of divergence has emerged in the past year. Steady and moderate growth in the U.S. economy helped sustain the stock market’s bull run another year. U.S. bonds also performed well, amid subdued inflation, interest rates that remained unexpectedly low and concerns about the economic well-being of the rest of the world. The stronger domestic economy enabled the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to gradually reduce its large scale bond purchases, known as quantitative easing (QE), without disruption to the markets, as well as beginning to set expectations for a transition into tightening mode.
 
The economic story outside the U.S. holds much uncertainty. The escalating drama over Greece’s debt negotiations has the European economy on edge, while China’s economy has decelerated and experienced a great deal of turmoil in its stock markets. Other areas of concern include a surprisingly steep decline in oil prices, the U.S. dollar’s rally and an increase in geopolitical tensions, involving the Russia-Ukraine crisis and terrorist attacks across the Middle East and Africa, as well as more recently in Europe.
 
While a backdrop of healthy economic growth in the U.S. and the continuation of accommodative monetary policy (with the central banks of Japan and Europe stepping in where the Fed has left off) bodes well for the markets, the global outlook has become more uncertain. Indeed, volatility is likely to feature more prominently in the investment landscape going forward. Such conditions underscore the importance of professional investment management. Experienced investment teams have weathered the market’s ups and downs in the past and emerged with a better understanding of the sensitivities of their asset class and investment style, particularly in times of turbulence. We recognize the importance of maximizing gains, while striving to minimize volatility.
 
And, the same is true for investors like you. Maintaining an appropriate time horizon, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams are among your best strategies for achieving your long-term investment objectives. Additionally, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Fund Mergers
 
The Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS), which commenced operations on October 6, 2014, was formed from the merger of Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio Inc. (MXA) and First American Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN) (the Mergers), both of which had been managed by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. and sub-advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. MXA is treated as the survivor of the Mergers for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for NMS for periods prior to October 6, 2014, is that of MXA. MXA’s previous fiscal year end was June 30, 2014, and therefore NMS’s reporting period for this report is from July 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015.

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2015?
 
During this reporting period, the U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate pace. The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained efforts to bolster growth and promote progress toward its mandates of maximum employment and price stability by holding the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it established in December 2008. At its October 2014 meeting, the Fed announced that it would end its bond-buying stimulus program as of November 1, 2014, after tapering its monthly asset purchases of mortgage-backed and longer-term Treasury securities from the original $85 billion per month to $15 billion per

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
 
month over the course of seven consecutive meetings (December 2013 through September 2014). In making the announcement, the Fed cited substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market since the inception of the current asset purchase program as well as sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment in a context of price stability. The Fed also reiterated that it would continue to look at a wide range of factors, including labor market conditions, indicators of inflationary pressures and readings on financial developments, in determining future actions. Additionally, the Fed stated that it would likely maintain the current target range for the fed funds rate for a considerable time after the end of the asset purchase program, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Fed’s 2% longer run goal. However, if economic data shows faster progress, the Fed indicated that it could raise the fed funds rate sooner than expected.
 
The Fed changed its language slightly in December, indicating it would be “patient” in normalizing monetary policy. This shift helped ease investors’ worries that the Fed might raise rates too soon. However, as employment data released early in the year continued to look strong, anticipation began building that the Fed could raise its main policy rate as soon as June. As widely expected, after its March meeting, the Fed eliminated “patient” from its statement but also highlighted the policy makers’ less optimistic view of the economy’s overall health as well as downgraded their inflation projections. The Fed’s April meeting seemed to further signal that a June rate hike was off the table. While the Fed attributed the first quarter’s economic weakness to temporary factors, the meeting minutes from April revealed that many Committee members believed the economic data available in June would be insufficient to meet the Fed’s criteria for initiating a rate increase. The June meeting bore out that presumption, and the Fed decided to keep the target rate near zero. But the Committee also continued to telegraph the likelihood of at least one rate increase in 2015, which many analysts forecasted for September.
 
According to the government’s most recent estimate, the U.S. economy contracted at a 0.7% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2015, as measured by GDP, compared with an increase of 4.6% in the second quarter of 2014, 5.0% in the third quarter and 2.2% in the fourth quarter. The decline in real GDP growth rate from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015 primarily reflects a downturn in both state and local government spending, a decline in exports and consumer spending. These were partly offset by an upturn in federal government spending. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), at -0.2%, was unchanged year-over-year as of May 2015. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.7% during the same period, below the Fed’s unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%. As of May 31, 2015, the national unemployment rate was 5.5%, the level considered “full employment” by some Fed officials, down from the 6.3% reported in May 2014. The housing market continued to post consistent gains as of its most recent reading in April 2015. The average home price in the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas rose 4.9% for the twelve months ended April 2015 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared).
 
Municipal bonds enjoyed strong performance during the twelve-month reporting period, buoyed by a backdrop of low interest rates, improving investor sentiment and favorable supply-demand dynamics. Interest rates were widely expected to rise in 2014, as the economy improved and the Fed wound down its asset purchases. However, the 10-year Treasury yield ended the year even lower than where it began. As a result, fixed income asset classes performed surprisingly well (as yields fall, prices rise and vice versa). At the same time, investors grew more confident that the Fed’s tapering would proceed at a measured pace and that the credit woes of Detroit and Puerto Rico would be contained. In addition, credit fundamentals for state and local governments were generally stabilizing, although pockets of trouble remained. California and New York showed marked improvements during 2014, whereas Illinois, New Jersey and Puerto Rico, for example, still face considerable challenges.
 
Investors’ declining risk aversion bolstered demand for higher yielding assets, including municipal bonds, which reversed the tide of outflows municipal bond funds suffered in 2013. While demand and inflows rose, supply continued to be subdued in 2014. More municipal bonds left the market than were added, a condition known as net negative issuance. Part of the reason for net negative issuance was that a significant portion of issuer activity focused on current refundings, in which a new bond is issued to replace the called bond (in contrast to an advanced refunding, where the called bond remains in the market as a pre-refunded bond).

These factors helped drive municipal bond yields lower and tightened yield spreads relative to Treasuries in 2014 overall. However, as 2015 began, market conditions turned more volatile. A series of disappointing economic data underscored the fragility of the U.S. recovery, as well as cast further uncertainty on the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike. Issuance was unusually strong at the beginning of 2015, fueling concerns about potential oversupply conditions. Over the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $397.8 billion, an increase of 34.4% from the issuance for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2014. The surge in gross issuance is due mostly to increased refunding deals as issuers have been actively and aggressively refunding their outstanding debt given the very low interest rate environment. These refunding transactions have ranged from 40%-60% of total issuance over the past few years. Thus, the net issuance (all bonds issued less bonds redeemed) is actually much lower than the gross issuance. In fact, the total municipal bonds outstanding has actually declined in each of the past four calendar years. So, the gross is surging, but the net is not and this has been an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance. At the same time, regulatory changes, increased risk aversion and expectations for rising interest rates have encouraged bond dealers, typically brokers and banks, to reduce the size of their inventories in recent years. By holding smaller amounts of bonds on their books, dealers seek to mitigate their exposure to bonds that could potentially be worth less or be more difficult to sell in the future. As a result, there has been less liquidity in the marketplace, which contributed to periods of increased price volatility in early 2015. The municipal bond market also experienced some seasonal weakness in the first few months of 2015 due to tax-related selling. Finally, divergence in economic growth and central bank policies around the world have reinforced an interest rate differential that favors demand for U.S. Treasuries, maintaining downward pressure on yields.
 
How were the economic and market conditions in Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina and Virginia during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2015?
 
Georgia’s economy is performing well. Benchmark employment revisions indicate that the labor market fared considerably better last year than previously estimated. Total state employment grew by 3.0% in 2014, compared to 2.3% for the nation. As of May 2015, unemployment in Georgia was 6.3%, down from 7.3% in May 2014, but still above the national rate of 5.5%. Georgia’s economy continued to be well diversified, although geographically concentrated around the Atlanta metropolitan area. Home prices in the Atlanta area, which were hard hit by the housing crisis, were up 4.9% year-over-year as of April 2015 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. For Fiscal 2016, Georgia adopted a $21.8 billion state budget, increasing state spending by $1 billion over the Fiscal 2015 budget. The 2016 state budget is still $3 billion below the 2007 fiscal year levels, on an inflation-adjusted per capita basis. The Fiscal 2016 budget provides $500 million in additional funds for K-12 education and 1% pay raises for state employees. In November 2014, voters in Georgia approved a constitutional amendment to prevent the state from increasing the maximum individual income tax rate above 6%. Individual income tax is Georgia’s largest revenue source accounting for 47% of the state’s Fiscal 2015 general fund budget. Capping the income tax reduces the state’s financial flexibility to raise revenues if necessary. As of June 2015 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Georgia’s general obligation debt continued to be rated Aaa/AAA/AAA with stable outlooks from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. For the twelve months ended May 31 2015, municipal issuance in Georgia totaled $6.8 billion, a gross issuance increase of 34.8% from the twelve months ended May 31, 2014.
 
In Maryland, the state’s credit profile remained relatively strong, due to sound fiscal management and a diverse economy. In 2014, Maryland’s economic growth was fairly slow at 0.8%, compared to 2.2% for the U.S. While the state’s economic recovery has been somewhat hampered by federal budget cuts, private sector employment has shown recent signs of expansion. Growth in the health care and professional services sectors buoyed the state’s job market and lowered statewide unemployment to 5.3% as of May 2015, down from 5.8% in the prior year. However, Maryland’s proximity to Washington D.C. means a greater dependency on federal employment than in most states, leaving it vulnerable to federal cost-cutting. Government employment accounts for nearly 20% of all state employment but the effects of federal spending cutbacks on Maryland’s employment numbers is finally abating as

both the private sector and to some extent the federal government, add jobs. Maryland has one of the nation’s best educated workforces, which has facilitated the development of advanced technology and the growth of public and private research facilities. Combined with the influence of the government sector and the presence of 56 universities, this has made Maryland a center for national security and medical and biomedical research. Maryland’s Fiscal 2016 budget estimates a 1% increase in revenues and expenditures and increases the state’s reserve fund to $967 million. As of June 2015, (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated Maryland general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, municipal issuance in the state totaled $8.0 billion, a gross issuance increase of 53.4% from the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2014.
 
For 2014, Minnesota’s economic growth trailed the national growth rate with Minnesota’s GDP growing 1.4%, compared with the national rate of 2.2%, and ranking Minnesota’s GDP growth 27th fastest among all states. Minnesota’s modest GDP growth was driven by gains in the manufacturing and health care. Education, health care services, trade and transportation, and professional and business services sectors experienced the strongest employment gains in 2014. Minnesota’s manufacturing firms continue to expand and reported a 2.9% increase in exports for 2014. As of May 2015, Minnesota’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.8% remained well below the national unemployment rate of 5.5% and was down from 4.1% in May 2014. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Minnesota rose a fairly modest 3.2% during the twelve months ended April 2015 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with a 4.9% price increase nationally. In June 2015, Minnesota passed a balanced $42 billion biennium budget for Fiscal 2016 and 2017. During the 2015 legislative session, strong tax collections gave Governor Dayton and the Legislature the luxury of a nearly $2 billion budget surplus which allowed the state to increase per pupil state aid payments by nearly 2% and fund economic development and energy program projects. The Governor and Legislature used a special session to negotiate the final budget agreement and avoided another painful government shutdown like the state experienced in 2011 when a budget gap lead to an eight day government shutdown. Minnesota’s structural imbalance led S&P to downgrade the rating on the state’s general obligation bonds to AA+ from AAA in September 2011. Moody’s revised its outlook for the state to stable from negative in July 2013, while maintaining its Aa1 rating. Despite these revisions, Minnesota retained a solid credit profile reflective of its well-balanced economy, above-average wealth levels, moderate debt burden and strong debt management. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, municipal issuance in Minnesota totaled $7.0 billion, representing a 40.2% gross issuance increase from the twelve months ended May 31, 2014.
 
Missouri’s economic recovery continues to lag national economic growth. For 2014, national GDP grew 2.2% and outpaced Missouri’s GDP growth rate of 0.9%. As of May 2015, Missouri’s unemployment rate of 5.8% remained above the national unemployment rate of 5.5%, but state unemployment improved from the state’s 6.1% unemployment rate as of May 2014. Job growth was driven by gains in the manufacturing, professional and business services, education and health services, and government sectors. Missouri’s state exports also improved in 2014, with exports increasing 9.3% from 2013, export gains were driven by gains in motor vehicles and trade growth with Missouri’s two largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico. For Fiscal 2016, the balanced Missouri state budget of $26.1 billion is 1.1% lower than the Fiscal 2015 budget of $26.4 billion, but the Fiscal 2016 budget increased K-12 education funding from $3.15 billion to $3.22 billion. As of June 2015, Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, municipal issuance in Missouri totaled $5.7 billion, representing a 12% gross issuance decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2014.
 
North Carolina’s growth slowed in 2014 but it remains in the middle of the pack in terms of its recovery from the recession. For 2014, the gross state product for North Carolina grew 1.4% compared to 2.7% the prior year, however, it still ranks 25th among all states. As of May 2015, the state’s unemployment rate of 5.7% was close to its lowest point since early 2008; during the recession the unemployment rate topped 11%. North Carolina has worked to transition its economy away from old-line manufacturing into

sectors oriented toward research, technology and services and the combination of experience and a focus on the future resulted in Raleigh being selected as the site for a new federally subsidized institute for technology-based manufacturing. Once a leader in textiles, furniture and tobacco, the state’s manufacturing sector was not expected to resume its role as a major driver in the North Carolina economy but manufacturing has continued to represent a significant number of the state’s jobs. Almost 11% of total employment is in manufacturing and the sector has added 9,500 jobs during the recovery. The federal government remained the largest employer in the state due to the large military installments, including Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, which are the two largest employers in the state with more than 110,000 workers. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Charlotte rose 5.6% during the twelve months ended April 2015 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). This put Charlotte home prices less than 4% from their 2007 peak. North Carolina is projected to have a $400 million surplus in Fiscal Year 2015 and the Fiscal Year 2016 proposed budget includes a 2% increase in revenues. As of May 2015, Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated North Carolina general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, municipal issuance in North Carolina totaled $5.5 billion, a gross issuance increase of 108.3% from the previous twelve months.
 
Virginia’s economic recovery leading into 2014 had been slow but steady. Then in 2014 it came to a halt and the state posted no growth in GDP which put it in 48th place among all states. However, other economic indicators reflect an economy that is relatively healthy and improving. As of May 2015, unemployment in the commonwealth fell to 4.9%, down from 5.2% a year earlier and just below the national average of 5.5%. Job growth in Virginia was led by the education and health services, financial services and construction sectors. Virginia has a relatively high percentage of government employment, at almost 19% of total employment; this is a result of its proximity to Washington D.C. in the north and large military presence in the Hampton Roads region. In recent months, home prices in the region have risen slightly, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, with the Washington D.C. area posting a 1.1% gain for the twelve months ended April 2015 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with a 4.9% price increase nationally. Virginia is entering its second year of its biennium budget and revenues are coming in below budget for Fiscal Year 2015. The state has revised its budgeted revenues for Fiscal Year 2016 downward and plans to offset this with draws on its revenue stabilization fund and general fund reserves. As of June 2015, (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated Virginia general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2015, issuance in Virginia totaled $8.7 billion, a gross issuance increase of 56.3% from the previous twelve months.
 
What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2015?
 
A backdrop of supportive technical and fundamental factors helped sustain the municipal market’s rally during this reporting period. From the beginning of the period through the end of January 2015, yields fell sharply, particularly in the intermediate to longer maturity ranges, then rose slightly through the end of the period. The overall decline in interest rates helped sustain a general rise in municipal bond prices for the period as a whole. In general, all six states’ municipal bonds tended to lag the overall municipal market return for the reporting period. During this time, we continued to take a bottom-up approach to discovering sectors that appeared undervalued as well as individual credits that we believed had the potential to perform well over the long term.
 
Municipal supply nationally, as well as in five of the six states included in this report (Missouri was an exception), improved during this twelve-month reporting period over that of the previous twelve months. However, much of this increase was attributable to refunding activity as bond issuers, prompted by low interest rates, sought to lower debt service costs by retiring older bonds from the proceeds of lower cost new bond issues. While some of this activity continued to be current refundings (in which the refunded

bond matures or is redeemed within 90 days and therefore has no net effect on supply), we began to see an uptick in advance refundings (in which the refunded bond remains outstanding up to several more years). The increase in advance refundings contributed to greater supply in the marketplace, broadly speaking.
 
Much of our investment activity focus was on reinvesting the cash generated by current calls into bonds with intermediate and longer maturities that could help us offset the decline in rates and maintain investment performance potential, as well as keep the Funds fully invested. In addition to the purchases described in the previous shareholder report dated November 30, 2014, NKG bought a long maturity, dedicated tax bond issued for the Atlanta Development Authority New Downtown Atlanta Stadium and a higher credit quality general obligation (GO) bond in the second half of the reporting period. NMY and NPV continued to add intermediate- and longer-term bonds, with an emphasis on 5% coupons, but also purchased some zero coupon (which also have longer durations) and lower coupon bonds to help the two Funds stay fully invested. Among these purchases were several higher education bonds, including, in NMY, Johns Hopkins University and Loyola University credits and, in NPV, University of Virginia bonds. Although Minnesota tends to be a low-issuance state and our trading in NMS was fairly muted over the period overall, the Fund participated in some large health care and electric utilities deals brought to market in the second half of the period. NMS also added credits in housing and charter schools from the primary market and some health care and transportation bonds in the secondary market. NOM’s positioning remained relatively unchanged during the period, as transactions focused on maintaining the Fund’s overweight positioning in A, BBB and non-rated bonds, overweight allocations in health care and higher education bonds, underweight in state GO bonds and overweight in longer maturity issues. For the North Carolina Fund, we bought bonds in both the primary and secondary markets for the North Carolina Department of Transportation I-77 HOT (High Occupancy Toll) Lanes, which will expand the interstate highway with express toll lanes. NNC also added a higher education and a health care bond during the second half of the reporting period.
 
In addition, we established a portfolio hedge in both NKG and NNC by purchasing a credit default swap on the debt obligations of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. We have previously noted a correlation between the credit quality of Puerto Rico bonds and that of the overall high yield municipal bond market. Given that these portfolios regularly maintain a meaningful stake in BBB rated and below investment grade rated bonds, we saw this as a way to reduce the Funds’ overall risk while continuing to take advantage of opportunities to invest in the lower quality portion of the market. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negligible impact on performance.
 
Generally, the cash to finance the Funds’ purchases came from bonds that were called and/or, in the case of NMY, NOM and NPV, sold from our Puerto Rico exposure. Additionally, we eliminated NKG’s position in Coffee County Regional Medical Center bonds on concerns about its deteriorating credit conditions. NMS sold some higher-quality GOs to help fund new purchases. NNC sold some pre-refunded bonds and used the proceeds along with other proceeds from called bonds, to finance the purchase of the I-77 HOT Lanes bonds described earlier.
 
As of May 31, 2015, NKG, NMY, NOM and NPV continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement.
 
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2015?
 
The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide the Funds’ total returns for the eleven-month, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended May 31, 2015. Each Fund’s total returns at common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of corresponding market indexes and a Lipper classification average.

For the reporting period ended May 31, 2015, the total return at common share NAV for the five Funds except NOM exceeded the return for their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index as well as the national S&P Municipal Bond Index. NOM outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Missouri Index but underperformed the national S&P Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NPV outperformed the average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average, while NKG, NMY, NMS, NOM and NNC under-performed. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States classification represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful.
 
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns included duration and yield curve positioning, sector allocation and credit exposure. Keeping the Funds fully invested throughout the reporting period also was beneficial for performance. In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was an important positive factor affecting the performance of the Funds. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.
 
In this reporting period, municipal bonds with intermediate and longer maturities generally outperformed those with shorter maturities. In general, the Funds’ durations and yield curve positioning were positive for performance. Consistent with our long term strategy, these Funds tended to have longer durations than the municipal market in general, with overweightings in the longer parts of the yield curve that performed well and underweightings in the underperforming shorter end of the curve. Overall, duration and yield curve positioning was among the major drivers of performance and differences in positioning accounted for much of the differences in performance. NMY had the shortest duration of the six Funds, and it was among the bottom-performing Funds of the group for this reporting period. In contrast, NPV had the longest duration and was the top performer of the six Funds. NKG and NNC benefited most from their underweight positions in the shortest maturity categories. In NMS, the overweight allocation in bonds with maturities 10 years and higher had the largest positive impact – especially the Fund’s overweight to the 15 years and up category.
 
During this reporting period, lower rated bonds generally outperformed higher quality bonds, as the municipal market rally continued and investors became more willing to accept risk. These Funds tended to have overweights in A rated and BBB rated bonds and underweights in the AAA rated and AA rated categories relative to their benchmark and credit exposure was generally positive for their performance, except in the case of NNC (described below). As with duration, differences in credit allocation accounted for some of the differences in performance. NKG benefited most from its underweight position in AAA rated bonds and overweight allocation in credits rated below investment grade. For NMY and NPV, exposures to A rated and BBB rated bonds were the largest contributors. NMS was underweight in AAA rated and AA rated bonds, and overweighted across the lower rated categories, all of which aided relative performance. NOM’s overweight allocations to both BBB rated and non-rated bonds produced relative gains. However, NNC’s relative performance was hurt by an underweight allocation in lower quality bonds. North Carolina is a state with low issuance of below investment grade paper, providing relatively fewer opportunities for NNC to invest in the lower quality segments.
 
Among the municipal market sectors, health care (especially hospitals) and industrial development revenue (IDR) were among the top-performing groups during this reporting period. Bonds in these sectors benefited from investor demand for lower rated credits, as well as the sectors’ generally improving credit fundamentals. Hospital bonds received an additional boost from increasing merger and acquisition activity within the industry, which resulted in more pre-refundings in the sector. Overweight exposures to health care in NMY, NMS, NOM, NNC and NPV were strong contributors to relative performance. NMS further benefited from overweight allocations to charters schools and IDR bonds. NKG’s underweight allocation to public power, a group which underperformed the overall municipal market during the period, was the most helpful to its performance.
 
Weaker performing municipal bond sectors during this reporting period included the pre-refunded and tax obligation sectors. The underperformance of pre-refunded bonds was driven by their short maturities and higher credit quality. Although the tax-supported sectors encompass a wide range of credit ratings, the underperformance of higher quality issues has been one of the main reasons the tax-supported sectors have tended to lag revenue sectors. NKG, NMY and NNC held overweight positions in pre-refunded issues,

which detracted slightly from these Funds’ relative returns. Conversely, NMS’ underweight allocations in both pre-refunded bonds and state and local GOs added to relative performance, although gains were marginally offset by relatively weak performance from an overweight to public power credits.
 
As noted in the previous Shareholder Fund Report, we continue to monitor the ongoing economic problems of Puerto Rico for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). However, Puerto Rico’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations, and long-standing inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past two years. Puerto Rico general obligation debt currently is rated Caa3/CCC-/CC (below investment grade) by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks.
 
Puerto Rico’s Governor, Alejandro García Padilla, recently announced a major shift in his administration’s long-standing position on the government’s commitment to debt repayment, declaring the Commonwealth’s “debt is not payable” and Puerto Rico will no longer borrow to address annual budget deficits. The Commonwealth plans to meet with various creditors and bondholders over the next few months to attempt to negotiate a comprehensive debt restructuring or postponement of debt service payments. The likelihood of reaching consensus is questionable and the process will likely take several months to unfold. Puerto Rico commenced discussions with creditors with a public presentation in mid-July, but no details were provided. The governor has appointed a working group to develop a comprehensive five-year fiscal plan, which will include recommendations for fiscal adjustments (budget cuts), structural and institutional reforms and debt restructuring. The plan must be presented to the governor by August 30, 2015 and legislative measures to enact the plan are to be passed by October 1. A Puerto Rico public corporation failed to make a scheduled transfer on July 15, 2015 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), for an annual appropriation debt service payment due August 1, 2015. The payment was not included in the FY2016 budget, so the failure to make the transfer was somewhat expected. The August 1 debt service payment from the trustee to bondholders is expected to be missed.
 
On July 12, 2015, a federal appeals court confirmed a lower court’s decision finding Puerto Rico’s Debt Recovery Act to be unconstitutional. This eliminates a path to debt restructuring the Commonwealth had hoped to be able to pursue. Puerto Rico’s non-voting Representative in Congress introduced legislation that would make chapter 9 bankruptcy available to the Commonwealth’s public corporations earlier this year and a congressional committee hearing was held on February 26, 2015. A companion bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate on July 15, 2015. Thus far, authorizing chapter 9 for Puerto Rico has gained support from Democrats in the House and Senate, but Republican support has not yet materialized.
 
In light of the evolving economic situation in Puerto Rico, Nuveen’s credit analysis of the Commonwealth had previously considered the possibility of a default and restructuring of public corporations and we adjusted our portfolios to prepare for such an outcome, although no such default or restructuring has occurred to date. The Nuveen complex’s entire exposure to obligations of the government of Puerto Rico and other Puerto Rico issuers totaled 0.34% of assets under management as of May 31, 2015. As of May 31, 2015, Nuveen’s limited exposure to Puerto Rico generally was invested in bonds that were insured, pre-refunded (and therefore backed by securities such as U.S. Treasuries), or tobacco settlement bonds. Overall, other than as noted below, the small size of our exposures meant that our Puerto Rico holdings had a negligible impact on performance.
 
NMY, NOM and NPV were active sellers of Puerto Rico paper during the reporting period. NMY reduced its allocation by half, from 9.7% to 5.6% at period end. We trimmed NOM’s exposure from 3.2% to 0.5%, which now consists of a single holding in an insured, senior lien COFINA (sales tax) bond. Puerto Rico was detrimental to NOM’s performance, although by period end the bonds we sold were trading lower than our transaction price. NPV’s weighting was cut from 7.8% to 4.9% by the end of the period. NKG, NMS and NNC did not hold any Puerto Rico bonds during the reporting period.

Fund Leverage
 
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
 
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. However, use of leverage can expose the Fund to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund will experience a greater increase in its net asset value if the municipal bonds acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but it will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in its net asset value if the bonds acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the Fund’s net asset value more volatile, and its total return performance more variable over time. In addition, income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Leverage had a positive impact on the performance of the Funds over the reporting period.

Effective Leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Market Yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly dividend divided by the Fund’s current market price as of the end of the reporting period. Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.3%, 32.0%, 35.1%, 32.3%, 32.1% and 32.1% for Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.
 
Each Fund in this report seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
 
As of May 31, 2015, the Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. NMY, NMS, NOM and NPV had positive UNII balances, while NKG and NNC had negative balances for financial reporting purposes.

Common Share Information (continued)
 
All monthly dividends paid by the Funds during the current reporting period, were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes, the composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 — Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.
 
COMMON SHARE EQUITY SHELF PROGRAM
 
During the current reporting period, NPV was authorized to issue an additional 1,700,000 common shares through its ongoing equity shelf program. Under this program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share. During the current reporting period NPV did not sell any common shares through its equity shelf program.
 
As of September 30, 2014 NPV’s shelf offering registration statement was no longer current. Therefore, the Fund is unable to issue additional common shares under its equity shelf program until a post-effective amendment to the Fund’s registration statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES
 
During August 2014, the Funds’ Board of Trustees reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each of NKG, NMY, NOM, NNC and NPV to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
 
During November 2014, NMS’s Board of Trustees authorized the Fund to participate in Nuveen’s closed-end fund complex-wide share repurchase program, allowing the Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
 
As of May 31,2015, and since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds have cumulatively repurchased and retired their outstanding common shares as shown in the accompanying table.

Risk Considerations
 
Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
 
Investment, Price and Market Risk. An investment in shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in shares represents an indirect investment in the municipal securities owned by the Fund, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Shares of closed-end investment companies like these Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
 
Leverage Risk. Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful. Certain aspects of the recently adopted Volcker Rule may limit the availability of tender option bonds, which are used by the Funds for leveraging and duration management purposes. The effects of this new Rule, expected to take effect in mid-2015, may make it more difficult for a Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
 
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations.
 
Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund’s portfolio will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.
 
Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.
 
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund’s portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.
 
Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.
 
Inverse Floater Risk. The Funds may invest in inverse floaters. Due to their leveraged nature, these investments can greatly increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, investments in inverse floaters involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment.
 
Municipal Bond Market Liquidity Risk. Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers have decreased in recent years, lessening their ability to make a market in these securities. This reduction in market making capacity has the potential to decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds, and increase bond price volatility and trading costs, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. In addition, recent federal banking regulations may cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of municipal bonds, which may further decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, the Fund may be forced to accept a lower price to sell a security, to sell other securities to raise cash, or to give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and hurt performance.
 
Derivatives Risk. The Funds may use derivative instruments, which involve a high degree of financial risk, including the risk that the loss on a derivative may be greater than the principal amount investment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2
Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2, Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund and Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (the “Funds”) as of May 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows and the financial highlights for the year then ended (eleven-month period then ended for Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented through May 31, 2014 ( and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows and the financial highlights for the periods presented through June 30, 2014 for Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund), were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 28, 2014 (August 22, 2014 for Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund), expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and those financial highlights.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2015, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, their cash flows and the financial highlights for the periods stated in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2)
Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3)
Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.
(4)
As of, or subsequent to, the end of the reporting period this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has ceased accruing additional income on the Fund’s records.
(5)
Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board. For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 3. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information.
(6)
Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.
(7)
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 33.7%.
(8)
Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter derivatives as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of exchange-cleared and exchange-traded derivatives is recognized as part of the cash collateral at brokers and/or the receivable or payable for variation margin as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
(9)
The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short.
(10)
The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection.
(IF)
Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB)
Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information.

(1)
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2)
Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3)
Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.
(4)
Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.
(5)
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 34.2%.
(6)
Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter derivatives as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of exchange-cleared and exchange-traded derivatives is recognized as part of the cash collateral at brokers and/or the receivable or payable for variation margin as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
(7)
The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short.
(8)
The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection.
(ETM)
Escrowed to maturity.

(a)
The amounts shown for Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”) are based on common share equivalents.
(b)
Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
 
Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
(c)
Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to ARPS shareholders, during periods when ARPS were outstanding; Net Investment Income (Loss) ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to ARPS and other subsequent forms of preferred shares issued by the Fund, where applicable.
(d)
After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. As of September 30, 2010, the Adviser is no longer reimbursing Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) for any fees and expenses.

(a)
The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. Represents distributions paid on Remarketed Preferred Shares (“RPS”) and ARPS for Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM), respectively.
(b)
Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
 
Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
 
General Information
 
Fund Information
The state funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or NYSE MKT symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 
Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKG) (“Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG)”)
 
Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY) (“Maryland Premium Income (NMY)”)
 
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS) (“Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS)”)
 
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM) (“Missouri Premium Income (NOM)”)
 
Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund (NNC) (“North Carolina Premium Income (NNC)”)
 
Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV) (“Virginia Premium Income (NPV)”)
 
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end management investment companies. Common shares of Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG), Maryland Premium Income (NMY), Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) are traded on the NYSE while common shares of Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are traded on the NYSE MKT. Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG), Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on October 26, 2001, April 28, 2014 and March 29, 1993, respectively. Maryland Premium Income (NMY), North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 12, 1993.
 
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is May 31, 2015, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (“the current fiscal period”).
 
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
 
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
 
Fund Mergers
Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) was formed from the merger of the following two closed-end funds (each a “Target Fund” and collectively, the “Target Funds”) advised by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) (the “Merger Sub”) (the “Mergers”):

 
Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio Inc. (MXA) (“Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA)”),
 
First American Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN) (“Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II (MXN)”),
 
Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA) is treated as the survivor of the Mergers for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) for periods prior to October 6, 2014, is that of Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio (MXA). Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio’s (MXA) previous fiscal year end was June 30, 2014, and therefore Minnesota Municipal Income’s (NMS) reporting period for this report is from July 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015.
 
The Mergers became effective prior to the opening of business on October 6, 2014. Upon the closing of the Mergers, each Target Fund merged with and into the Merger Sub. Shareholders of each Target Fund received newly issued shares of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of which was equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of each Target Fund held immediately prior to the Mergers (including for this purpose fractional Fund shares to which shareholders would have been entitled). Following completion of the Mergers, the Merger Sub distributed its assets to Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), and Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS), assumed the liabilities of the Merger Sub, in complete

liquidation and dissolution of the Merger Sub. As a result of the Mergers, the assets of the Target Funds were combined, and the shareholders of each Target Fund became shareholders of Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS). Details of the Mergers are further described in Note 8 – Fund Mergers.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:

                              North

Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
 
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statements of Operations.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
 
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
 
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and investments in Derivatives.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.

 
Level 1 –  
Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
     
 
Level 2 –  
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
     
 
Level 3 –  
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
 
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
 
Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above, and are generally classified as Level 2.
 
Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2.
 
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.
 
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
 
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:

 
(i)
If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities.
 
(ii)
If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis.
 
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
 
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
 
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
 
Portfolio Securities
 
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust (referred to as the “Trust”) created by or at the direction of one or more Funds. In turn, the Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”), in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the Trust from a

third party liquidity provider, or by the sale of assets from the Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as one or more of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.
 
The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par, and (b) have the trustee of the Trust transfer the Underlying Bond held by the Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Trust.
 
The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).
 
An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing the Floaters issued by the Trust as liabilities, at their liquidation value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Floating rate obligations.” In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the Floaters as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the inverse floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement” or “credit recovery swap”) (Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which a Fund agrees to reimburse the liquidity provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the Trust may fall short of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the Trust, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of the Inverse Floater as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the Floaters. At period end, any such shortfall amount in the aggregate is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
 
Investments in Derivatives
In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which each Fund may invest, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative investments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund will limit its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
 
Credit Default Swaps
A Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either (i) receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or (ii) pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
 
Credit default swap contracts are valued daily. Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations.
 
For over-the-counter swaps, the daily change in the market value of the swap contract, along with any daily interest fees accrued, are recognized as components of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (, net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Investments in swaps cleared through an exchange obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days “mark-to-market” of the swap. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit a Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a seller of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity. In certain instances, a Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as “Cash collateral at brokers” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
During the current fiscal period, Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) and North Carolina Premium Income (NNC) invested in credit default swaps to manage credit risk by purchasing credit protection.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs
Virginia Premium Income (NPV) has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing the Fund to issue 1.7 million additional common shares through an equity shelf program (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective with the SEC during the prior fiscal period.
 
Under this Shelf Offering, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share.
 
Common shares authorized, common shares issued and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under the Fund’s Shelf Offering during the Fund’s current and prior fiscal periods, were as follows:

Shelf Offering declared effective by the SEC during the prior fiscal period.
 
As of September 30, 2014, Virginia Premium Income’s (NPV) shelf offering registration statement is no longer current. Therefore, the Fund may not issue additional common shares under its equity shelf program until a post-effective amendment to the registration statement is filed with the SEC.
 
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its Shelf Offering were recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred asset is reduced during the one-year period that additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from such sales and is recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable. At the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period, or when the Funds’ shelf offering registration statement is no longer effective, any remaining deferred charges will be expensed accordingly and recognized as a component of “Shelf offering expenses” on the Statement of Operations. Any additional costs the Fund may incur in connection with its Shelf Offering are expensed as incurred and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable.
 
During Virginia Premium Income’s (NPV) current and prior fiscal period the Fund did not issue additional shares. As a result, during the current fiscal period, the Adviser reimbursed Virginia Premium Income (NPV) for half of the costs incurred in connection with the Shelf Offering, which is recognized as “Expense reimbursement” on the Statement of Operations.

MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
During the current fiscal period, Missouri Premium Income (NOM) had issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, with a $10 liquidation value per share. The Fund’s MTP Shares were issued in one or more Series and traded on the NYSE MKT.
 
On February 9, 2015, Missouri Premium Income (NOM) redeemed all of its outstanding Series 2015 MTP Shares. The Fund’s MTP Shares were redeemed at their $10.00 liquidation value per share, plus dividend amounts owed, using proceeds from its issuance of Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares (as described below in Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares).
 
The average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding for the Fund during the current fiscal period, was as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of MTP Shares is recorded as a liability and were recognized as “MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends on MTP Shares, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, were paid monthly at a fixed annual rate, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. Unpaid dividends on MTP Shares were recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its offering of MTP Shares was recorded as a deferred charge, which was amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
In conjunction with Missouri Premium Income’s (NOM) redemption of MTP Shares, the remaining deferred offering costs of $73,345, were fully expensed during the current fiscal period, as the redemptions were deemed an extinguishment of debt.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
On January 30, 2015, Missouri Premium Income (NOM) issued 180 shares of Series 2018 VMTP in connection with the redemption of its outstanding MTP Shares.
 
Each Fund is obligated to redeem its VMTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares are subject to redemption at the option of each Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to payment of premium for one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s series of VMTP Shares are as follows:

VMTP Shares generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation par value so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” rates being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Funds’ Adviser has determined that the fair value of VMTP Shares is their liquidation value, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VMTP Shares, were recorded as a deferred charge which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
Missouri Premium Income (NOM) incurred offering costs of $200,000 in connection with its issuance of Series 2018 VMTP Shares.
 
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
 
Virginia Premium Income (NPV) has issued and outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. VRDP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.

VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom the Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. The Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. The Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. The Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
 
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
 
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
 
The average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the current fiscal period were as follows:

In addition to interest expense, the Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
 
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
 
During the year Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS) was involved in a tax-free reorganization in which Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio, Inc. (MXA) and Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (MXN) merged their assets into Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS). Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS) is a new fund for tax purposes with no tax reporting survivor; however, Minnesota Municipal Income

Therefore, the income tax information provided below includes the eleven month activity from July 1, 1014 to May 31, 2015 of both Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (NMS) and Minnesota Municipal Income Portfolio, Inc. (MXA).

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
 
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
 
The annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedules:

For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of May 31, 2015, the complex-level fee rate for each Fund was 0.1635%.
 
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
 
8. Fund Mergers
The Mergers were structured to qualify as tax-free mergers under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes, and the Target Funds’ shareholders recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result. Prior to the closing of the Mergers, the Target Funds distributed all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any. Such a distribution may be taxable to the Target Funds’ shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

Because the combined investment portfolios for the Mergers have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Mergers were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Funds that have been included in the Statement of Operations for Minnesota Municipal Income (NMS) since the Mergers were consummated.
 
Costs and Expenses
In connection with the Mergers, the Fund assumed certain associated costs and expenses. Such amounts are recognized as a component of “Accrued other expenses” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited)
 
Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
   
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
   
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
   
Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage.
   
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
   
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
   
Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.
   
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges.
   
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
   
Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited) (continued)

Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Georgia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Georgia municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Maryland Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Maryland municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Minnesota Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Minnesota municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Missouri Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond North Carolina Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade North Carolina municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Virginia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Virginia municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities.
   
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.

Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
 
Easy and convenient
 
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
 
How shares are purchased
 
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net as -set value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day imme -diately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
 
Flexible
 
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)
 
The Board of Trustees of each Fund (each, a “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”), including the Board Members who are not parties to the Funds’ advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), is responsible for overseeing the performance of the investment adviser and sub-adviser to the respective Fund and determining whether to continue such Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) between the Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). Following an initial term with respect to each Fund upon its commencement of operations, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on an annual basis pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 11-13, 2015 (the “May Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the existing Advisory Agreements for the Funds.
 
In preparation for its considerations at the May Meeting, the Board received in advance of the meeting extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Funds, including, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser”); Fund performance including performance assessments against peers and the appropriate benchmark(s); fee and expense information of the Funds compared to peers; a description and assessment of shareholder service levels for the Funds; a summary of the performance of certain service providers; a review of product initiatives and shareholder communications; and profitability information of the Fund Advisers as described in further detail below. As part of its annual review, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 14-15, 2015 to review the Funds’ investment performance and consider an analysis by the Adviser of the Sub-Adviser which generally evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, investment mandate, organizational structure and history, investment philosophy and process, and the performance of the Funds, and any significant changes to the foregoing. During the review, the Independent Board Members asked questions of and requested additional information from management.
 
The Board considered that the evaluation process with respect to the Fund Advisers is an ongoing process that encompassed the information and knowledge gained throughout the year. The Board, acting directly or through its committees, met regularly during the course of the year and received information and considered factors at each meeting that would be relevant to its annual consideration of the Advisory Agreements, including information relating to Fund performance; Fund expenses; investment team evaluations; and valuation, compliance, regulatory and risk matters. In addition to regular reports, the Adviser provided special reports to the Board to enhance the Board’s understanding on topics that impact some or all of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser (such as presentations on risk and stress testing; the new governance, risk and compliance system; cybersecurity developments; Nuveen fund accounting and reporting matters; regulatory developments impacting the investment company industry and the business plans or other matters impacting the Adviser). The Board also met with key investment personnel managing certain Nuveen fund portfolios during the year.
 
The Board had created several standing committees including the Open-End Funds Committee and the Closed-End Funds Committee to assist the full Board in monitoring and gaining a deeper insight into the distinctive business practices of closed-end and open-end funds. These Committees met prior to each quarterly Board meeting, and the Adviser provided presentations to these Committees permitting them to delve further into specific matters or initiatives impacting the respective product line.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
 
The Board also continued its program of seeking to have the Board Members or a subset thereof visit each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members made site visits to multiple equity and fixed-income investment teams of the Sub-Adviser in June 2014.
 
The Board considered the information provided and knowledge gained at these meetings and visits during the year when performing its annual review of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members also were assisted throughout the process by independent legal counsel. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the review of advisory contracts, the Independent Board Members met with independent legal counsel in executive sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreements. In addition, it is important to recognize that the management arrangements for the Nuveen funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Board Members and Fund management and that the Board Members’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements and other factors developed in previous years.
 
The Board took into account all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers; (c) the advisory fees and costs of the services to be provided to the Funds and the profitability of the Fund Advisers; (d) the extent of any economies of scale; (e) any benefits derived by the Fund Advisers from the relationship with the Funds; and (f) other factors. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreements applicable to the respective Fund. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.

A.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the respective Fund. The Board reviewed information regarding, among other things, each Fund Adviser’s organization and business, the types of services that each Fund Adviser or its affiliates provided to the Funds, the performance record of the Funds (as described in further detail below), and any initiatives that had been undertaken on behalf of the closed-end product line. The Board recognized the high quality of services the Adviser had provided to the Funds over the years and the conscientiousness with which the Adviser provided these services. The Board also considered the improved capital structure of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”) (the parent of the Adviser) following the acquisition of Nuveen by TIAA-CREF in 2014 (the “TIAA-CREF Transaction”).
   
 
With respect to the services, the Board noted the Funds were registered investment companies that operated in a regulated industry and considered the myriad of investment management, administrative, compliance, oversight and other services the Adviser provided to manage and operate the Funds. Such services included, among other things: (a) product management (such as analyzing ways to better position a Nuveen fund in the marketplace, setting dividends; maintaining relationships to gain access to distribution platforms; and providing shareholder communications); (b) fund administration (such as preparing tax returns and other tax compliance services, preparing regulatory filings and shareholder reports; managing fund budgets and expenses; overseeing a fund’s various service providers and supporting and analyzing new and existing funds); (c) Board administration (such as supporting the Board and its committees, in relevant part, by organizing and administering the Board and committee meetings and preparing the necessary reports to assist the Board in its duties); (d) compliance (such as monitoring adherence to a fund’s investment policies and procedures and applicable law; reviewing the compliance program periodically and developing new policies or updating existing compliance policies and procedures as considered necessary or appropriate; responding to regulatory requests; and overseeing compliance testing of the funds’ sub-advisers); (e) legal support (such as preparing or reviewing fund registration statements, proxy statements and other necessary materials; interpreting regulatory requirements and compliance thereof; and maintaining applicable registrations); and (f) investment services (such as overseeing and reviewing the funds’ sub-advisers and their investment teams; analyzing performance of the funds; overseeing investment and risk management; evaluating brokerage transactions and securities lending, overseeing the daily

valuation process for portfolio securities and developing and recommending valuation policies and methodologies and changes thereto; reporting to the Board on various matters including performance, risk and valuation; and participating in fund development, leverage management, and the developing or interpreting of investment policies and parameters). With respect to closed-end funds, the Adviser also monitored asset coverage levels on leveraged funds, managed leverage, negotiated the terms of leverage, evaluated alternative forms and types of leverage, promoted an orderly secondary market for common shares and maintained an asset maintenance system for compliance with certain rating agency criteria.
   
 
In its review, the Board considered information highlighting the various initiatives that the Adviser had implemented or continued during the last year to enhance its services to the Nuveen funds. The Board recognized that some of these initiatives are a result of a multi-year process. In reviewing the activities of 2014, the Board recognized the Adviser’s continued focus on fund rationalization for closed-end funds through mergers, fund closures or repositioning the funds in seeking to enhance shareholder value, reduce costs, improve performance, eliminate fund overlap and better meet shareholder needs. The Board noted the Adviser’s investment in additional staffing to strengthen and improve its services to the Nuveen funds, including with respect to risk management and valuation. The Board recognized that expanding the depth and range of its risk oversight activities had been a major priority for the Adviser in recent years, and the Adviser continued to add to the risk management team, develop additional risk management programs and create committees or other teams designated to oversee or evaluate certain risks, such as liquidity risk, enterprise risk, investment risk and cybersecurity risk. The Adviser had also continued to add to the valuation team, launched its centralized securities valuation system which is intended to provide for uniform pricing and reporting across the complex as the system continues to develop, continued to refine its valuation analysis and updated related policies and procedures and evaluated and assessed pricing services. The Board considered the Adviser’s ongoing investment in information technology and operations and the various projects of the information technology team to support the continued growth and complexity of the Nuveen funds and increase efficiencies in their operations. The Board also recognized the Adviser’s strong commitment to compliance and reviewed information reflecting the compliance group’s ongoing activities to enhance its compliance system and refine its compliance procedures as well as the Chief Compliance Officer’s report regarding the compliance team, the initiatives the team had undertaken in 2014 and proposed for 2015, the compliance functions and reporting process, the record of compliance with the policies and procedures and its supervision activities of other service providers.
   
 
With respect to the closed-end funds, the Board recognized the extensive resources, expertise and efforts required to oversee and manage the various forms of leverage utilized by various funds, including the development of new forms of leverage to achieve cost savings and/or broaden the array of leverage structures available to the closed-end funds, the development of enhanced reports analyzing the impact of leverage on performance, and the development of new forms of tender option bond structures to address new regulatory requirements. The Board also noted the Adviser’s continued capital management services conducting share repurchases and/or share issuances throughout the year and monitoring market conditions to capitalize on opportunities for the closed-end funds. The Board further recognized the Adviser’s use of data systems to more effectively solicit shareholder participation when seeking shareholder approvals and to monitor flow trends in various closed-end funds. The Board considered Nuveen’s continued commitment to supporting the closed-end fund product line by providing an extensive investor relations program that encompassed, among other things, maintaining and enhancing the closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and education seminars; enhancing the ability for investors to access information; preparing educational materials; and implementing campaigns to educate financial advisers and investors on topics related to closed-end funds and their strategies.
   
 
As noted, the Adviser also oversees the Sub-Adviser who primarily provides the portfolio advisory services to the Funds. The Board recognized the skill and competency of the Adviser in monitoring and analyzing the performance of the Sub-Adviser and managing the sub-advisory relationship. In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreements and supplementing its prior knowledge, the Board considered a current report provided by the Adviser analyzing, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and changes thereto, investment approach, organization and history, and assets under management, and the investment performance of each Fund.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds under each respective Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
   
B.
The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
 
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed reports, including an analysis of the Funds’ performance and the applicable investment team. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s investment performance both on an absolute basis and in comparison to peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and to recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks) for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2014, as well as performance information reflecting the first quarter of 2015. The Independent Board Members also recognized the importance of the secondary market trading levels for the closed-end fund shares and therefore devoted significant time and focus evaluating the premium and discount levels of the closed-end funds at each of the quarterly meetings throughout the year. At these prior meetings as well as the May Meeting, the Board reviewed, among other things, the respective closed-end fund’s premium or discount to net asset value as of a specified date and over various periods as well as in comparison to the premium/discount average in its Lipper peer category. At the May Meeting and/or prior meetings, the Board also reviewed information regarding the key economic, market and competitive trends affecting the closed-end fund market and considered any actions periodically proposed by the Adviser to address the trading discounts of certain funds. The Independent Board Members considered the evaluation of the premium and discount levels of the closed-end funds (either at the Board level or through the Closed-End Funds Committee) to be a continuing priority in their oversight of the closed-end funds. In its review, the Board noted that it also reviewed Fund performance results at each of its quarterly meetings.
   
 
In evaluating performance, the Board recognized several factors that may impact the performance data as well as the consideration given to particular performance data.
   
 
•     The performance data reflected a snapshot in time, in this case as of the end of the most recent calendar year or quarter. A different performance period, however, could generate significantly different results.
   
 
•     Long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme had the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.
   
 
•     The investment experience of a particular shareholder in a fund would vary depending on when such shareholder invested in the fund, the class held (if multiple classes are offered in the fund) and the performance of the fund (or respective class) during that shareholder’s investment period.
   
 
•     The Board recognized that the funds in the Performance Peer Group may differ somewhat from the Fund with which it is being compared and due to these differences, performance comparisons between the Funds and their Performance Peer Group may be inexact and the relevancy limited. The Board considered that management had classified the Performance Peer Group as low, medium and high in relevancy. The Board took the analysis of the relevancy of the Performance Peer Group into account when considering the comparative performance data. The Board also considered comparative performance of an applicable benchmark. While the Board was cognizant of the relative performance of a Fund’s peer set and/or benchmark(s), the Board evaluated Fund performance in light of the respective Fund’s investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and considered that the variations between the objectives and investment parameters or guidelines of the Fund with its peers and/or benchmarks result in differences in performance results. Further, for funds that utilized leverage, the Board understood that leverage during different periods could provide both benefits and risks to a portfolio as compared to an unlevered benchmark.
   
 
With respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance concerns, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers those steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken. The Board is aware, however, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in a fund knowing that the Adviser manages the fund and knowing the fund’s fee structure.

In considering the performance data, the Independent Board Members noted the following with respect to the Funds:
   
 
For Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (the “Georgia Dividend Advantage Fund 2”), the Board noted that, although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in each of such periods. The Board recognized the Fund’s higher exposure to short to intermediate maturity bonds compared to peers detracted from its peer relative performance. The Board also recognized the Fund’s positive absolute performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods.
   
 
For Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (the “Maryland Premium Income Fund”), the Board noted that, although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in each of such periods. The Board recognized that the Fund lagged its peers due to its higher exposure to short to intermediate maturity bonds, above average exposure to Puerto Rico bonds (which had been reduced in 2014) and the low returns available in Maryland in 2014 compared to other states in the peer group. The Board also recognized the Fund’s positive absolute performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods.
   
 
For Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Income Fund (the “Minnesota Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the second quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods and outperformed its benchmark for each of such periods.
   
 
For Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (the “Missouri Premium Income Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the third quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Fund also underper-formed its benchmark in the five-year period but outperformed its benchmark in the one- and three-year periods.
   
 
For Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income Municipal Fund (the “North Carolina Premium Income Fund”), the Board noted that, although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the five-year period, the Fund ranked in the third quartile in the one- and three-year periods and outperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods.
   
 
For Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (the “Virginia Premium Income Fund”), the Board noted that, although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the longer three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile in the one-year period and outperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods.
   
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance had been satisfactory.
   
C.
Fees, Expenses and Profitability
   
 
1. Fees and Expenses
 
The Board evaluated the management fees and other fees and expenses of each Fund (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) in absolute terms and in comparison to the fee and expense levels of a comparable universe of funds (the “Peer Universe”) selected by an independent third-party fund data provider. The Independent Board Members reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the Peer Universe for each Fund. The Board reviewed, among other things, such Fund’s gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the average and median fee and expense levels of the Peer Universe. The Board noted that the net total expense ratios paid by investors in the Funds were the most representative of an investor’s net experience. The Board Members also considered any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in effect for the Funds.
   
 
In reviewing the comparative fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members recognized that various factors such as the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe (including the inclusion of other Nuveen funds in the peer set); expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe from year to year; levels of reimbursement or fee waivers; the timing of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage (with respect to closed-end funds); differences in services provided and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe (with respect to state municipal funds) can impact the comparative data limiting the usefulness of the data to help make a conclusive assessment of the Funds’ fees and expenses.
 
Nuveen Investments
 
121

 
 

 
 
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

 
In reviewing the fee schedule for a fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen. In reviewing fees and expenses (excluding leverage costs and leveraged assets for the closed-end funds), the Board considered the expenses and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were approximately 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Universe. In reviewing the reports, the Board noted that the majority of the Nuveen funds had a net expense ratio near or below their peer average.
   
 
The Board noted that the Georgia Dividend Advantage Fund 2, the Maryland Premium Income Fund, the North Carolina Premium Income Fund and the Virginia Premium Income Fund each had a net management fee in line with its peer average and a net expense ratio below its peer average. The Board also noted that the Minnesota Fund and the Missouri Premium Income Fund each had a net expense ratio that was higher than its peer average but a net management fee below or in line with its peer average.
   
 
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
   
 
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
 
The Board considered information regarding the fees a Fund Adviser assessed to the Nuveen funds compared to that of other clients as described in further detail below. With respect to municipal funds, such other clients of a Fund Adviser may include municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser.
   
 
The Board recognized that each Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser and therefore the overall Fund management fee can be divided into two components, the fee retained by the Adviser and the fee paid to the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered the range of advisory fee rates for retail and institutional managed accounts advised by Nuveen-affiliated sub-advisers. The Board also reviewed, among other things, the average fee the affiliated sub-advisers assessed such clients as well as the range of fee rates assessed to the different types of clients (such as retail, institutional and wrap accounts as well as non-Nuveen funds) applicable to such sub-advisers.
   
 
In reviewing the comparative information, the Board also reviewed information regarding the differences between the Funds and the other clients, including differences in services provided, investment policies, investor profiles, compliance and regulatory requirements and account sizes. The Board recognized the breadth of services necessary to operate a registered investment company (as described above) and that, in general terms, the Adviser provided the administrative and other support services to the Funds and, although the Sub-Adviser may provide some of these services, the Sub-Adviser essentially provided the portfolio management services. In general, the Board noted that higher fee levels reflected higher levels of service provided by the Fund Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements and higher levels of business risk or some combination of the foregoing. The Independent Board Members considered the differences in structure and operations of separately managed accounts and hedge funds from registered funds and noted that the range of day-to-day services was not generally of the breadth required for the registered funds. Many of the additional administrative services provided by the Adviser were not required for institutional clients or funds sub-advised by a Nuveen-affiliated sub-adviser that were offered by other fund groups. The Independent Board Members also recognized that the management fee rates of the foreign funds advised by the Adviser may vary due to, among other things, differences in the client base, governing bodies, operational complexities and services covered by the management fee. Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believed such facts justify the different levels of fees.
   
 
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
 
In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the adjusted operating margins for Nuveen for the last two calendar years, the revenues, expenses, net income (pre-tax and after-tax) and
 
122
 
Nuveen Investments

 
 

 

 
net revenue margins (pre-tax and after-tax) of Nuveen’s managed fund advisory activities for the last two calendar years, the allocation methodology used by Nuveen in preparing the profitability data and a history of the adjustments to the methodology due to changes in the business over time. The Independent Board Members also reviewed the revenues, expenses, net income (pre-tax and after-tax) and revenue margin (pre-tax and post-tax) of the Adviser and, as described in further detail below, each affiliated sub-adviser for the 2014 calendar year. In reviewing the profitability data, the Independent Board Members noted the subjective nature of cost allocation methodologies used to determine profitability as other reasonable methods could also have been employed but yield different results. The Independent Board Members reviewed an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2014. The Independent Board Members recognized that Nuveen’s net revenue margin from advisory activities for 2014 was consistent with 2013. The Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen in comparison to the adjusted operating margins of other investment advisers with publicly available data and with comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) to Nuveen. The Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins appeared to be reasonable in relation to such other advisers. The Independent Board Members, however, recognized the difficulty of making comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts as the information is not generally publicly available, the information for the investment advisers that was publicly available may not be representative of the industry and various other factors would impact the profitability data such as differences in services offered, business mix, expense methodology and allocations, capital structure and costs, complex size, and types of funds and other accounts managed.
   
 
The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year and noted that two Independent Board Members served as point persons to review the profitability analysis and methodologies employed, and any changes thereto, and to keep the Board apprised of such changes during the year.
   
 
The Independent Board Members determined that Nuveen appeared to be sufficiently profitable to operate as a viable investment management firm and to honor its obligations as a sponsor of the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members noted the Adviser’s continued expenditures to upgrade its investment technology and increase personnel and recognized the Adviser’s continued commitment to its business to enhance the Adviser’s capacity and capabilities in providing the services necessary to meet the needs of the Nuveen funds as they grow or change over time. The Independent Board Members also noted that the sub-advisory fees for the Nuveen funds are paid by the Adviser, however, the Board recognized that many of the sub-advisers, including the Sub-Adviser, are affiliated with Nuveen. The Independent Board Members also noted the increased resources and support available to Nuveen as well as an improved capital structure as a result of the TIAA-CREF Transaction.
   
 
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Independent Board Members reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014. The Independent Board Members also reviewed profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and the revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014.
   
 
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds as well as indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements), if any, the Fund Adviser and its affiliates received or were expected to receive that were directly attributable to the management of a Fund. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds.
   
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was reasonable in light of the respective services provided.
   
D.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
 
The Independent Board Members recognized that, as the assets of a particular fund or the Nuveen complex in the aggregate increase over time, economies of scale may be realized, and the Independent Board Members considered the extent to which the funds benefit from such economies of scale. Although the Independent Board Members recognized that economies of scale are difficult to measure, the Board recognized that one method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the management fee schedule reducing fee rates as asset levels grow. The Independent Board Members noted that, subject to certain exceptions, the management fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex are generally
 
Nuveen Investments
 
123

 
 

 
 
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

 
comprised of a fund-level component and complex-level component. Each component of the management fee for each Fund included breakpoints to reduce management fee rates of the Fund as the Fund grows and, as described below, as the Nuveen complex grows. The Independent Board Members noted that, in the case of closed-end funds, however, such funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, but the growth of their assets would occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds’ investment portfolios. In addition to fund-specific breakpoint schedules which reduce the fee rates of a particular fund as its assets increase, the Independent Board Members recognized that the Adviser also passed on the benefits of economies of scale through the complex-wide fee arrangement which reduced management fee rates as assets in the fund complex reached certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflected the notion that some of Nuveen’s costs were attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex, and therefore all funds benefit if these costs were spread over a larger asset base. The Independent Board Members reviewed the breakpoint and complex-wide schedules and the fee reductions achieved as a result of such structures for the 2014 calendar year.
   
 
The Independent Board Members also noted that additional economies of scale were shared with shareholders of the Minnesota Fund through the adoption of a temporary expense cap. The Independent Board Members further considered that as part of the TIAA-CREF Transaction, Nuveen agreed, for a period of two years from the date of the closing of the TIAA-CREF Transaction, not to increase contractual management fees for any Nuveen fund and, with respect to the Nuveen funds with expense caps, not to raise expense cap levels for such funds from levels in effect at that time or scheduled to go into effect prior to the closing of the TIAA-CREF Transaction. The commitment would not limit or otherwise affect mergers or liquidations of any funds in the ordinary course.
   
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the current fee structure was acceptable and reflected economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
   
E.
Indirect Benefits
 
The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. With respect to closed-end funds, the Independent Board Members noted any revenues received by affiliates of the Adviser for serving as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds.
   
 
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Fund and other clients. The Funds’ portfolio transactions are allocated by the Sub-Adviser. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered that the Sub-Adviser may benefit from research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. With respect to any fixed income securities, however, the Board recognized that such securities generally trade on a principal basis that does not generate soft dollar credits. Similarly, the Board recognized that any research received pursuant to soft dollar arrangements by the Sub-Adviser may also benefit the Funds and shareholders to the extent the research enhanced the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds. The Independent Board Members noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability may be somewhat lower if it had to acquire any such research services directly.
   
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
   
F.
Other Considerations
 
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2

The following tables show the amount of fees billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two fiscal years by KPMG LLP, the Fund’s current auditor (engaged on August 7, 2014), and Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund’s former auditor. The audit fees billed to the Fund for the fiscal year 2015 are the only fees that have been billed to the Fund by KPMG LLP. All other fees listed in the tables below were billed to the Fund by Ernst & Young LLP. For engagements with KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.

The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

1 "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and services provided in
 
connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
                         
                                 
2 "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of
         
financial statements that are not reported under "Audit Fees". These fees include offerings related to the Fund's common shares and leverage.
         
                                 
3 "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. These fees include: all global
         
withholding tax services; excise and state tax reviews; capital gain, tax equalization and taxable basis calculation performed by the principal accountant.
         
                                 
4 "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services other than "Audit Fees", "Audit-Related Fees" and "Tax Fees". These fees
         
represent all "Agreed-Upon Procedures" engagements pertaining to the Fund's use of leverage.
                 
 
SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years.
 
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund’s audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The following table shows the amount of fees that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP billed during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
 

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC is the registrant's investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”).  The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund's investment portfolio, managing the Fund's business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.  The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio manager at the Sub-Adviser:

Item 8(a)(1). PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIOGRAPHY

Daniel J. Close, CFA, is a Senior Vice President of Nuveen Investments. He joined Nuveen Investments in 2000 as a member of Nuveen’s product management and development team. He then served as a research analyst for Nuveen’s municipal investing team, covering corporate-backed, energy, transportation and utility credits. He received his BS in Business from Miami University and his MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Mr. Close has earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.  Mr. Close also serves as a portfolio manager for various Nuveen Build America Bond strategies. 

Item 8(a)(2). OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER

In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.
 
The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.
 
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.
 
With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.
 
Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.
 
Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.

Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.

Annual cash bonus.  The Fund’s portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.

A portion of each portfolio manager’s annual cash bonus is based on the Fund’s investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.

A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio manager’s supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio manager’s team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Management‘s policies and procedures.
 
The final factor influencing a portfolio manager’s cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.

Long-term incentive compensation.  Certain key employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, including certain portfolio managers, participate in a Long-Term Performance Plan designed to provide compensation opportunities that links a portion of each participant’s compensation to Nuveen Investments’ financial and operational performance.  In addition, certain key employees of Nuveen Asset Management, including certain portfolio managers, have received profits interests in Nuveen Asset Management which entitle their holders to participate in the firm’s growth over time.
 
There are generally no differences between the methods used to determine compensation with respect to the Fund and the Other Accounts shown in the table above.
