Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Term Fund and Nuveen Intermediate Duration Quality Municipal Term Fund Announce Additional Liquidation Details
15 Febbraio 2023 - 10:54PM
Business Wire
As previously announced, the Board of Trustees of Nuveen
Intermediate Duration Municipal Term Fund (NYSE: NID) and Nuveen
Intermediate Duration Quality Municipal Term Fund (NYSE: NIQ) have
approved the liquidation of each fund upon the fund’s originally
scheduled termination date. NID intends to liquidate on or before
March 31, 2023, and NIQ intends to liquidate on or before June 30,
2023. Also as previously announced, as NID and NIQ approach
liquidation, each fund’s common shares will continue trading on the
New York Stock Exchange. NID common shares will be suspended from
trading before the open of trading on March 27, 2023, and NIQ
common shares will be suspended from trading before the open of
trading on June 26, 2023.
Each fund owns securities of Energy Harbor Corp. (“ENGH”),
consisting mostly of shares of ENGH common stock, that were
received in a February 2020 bankruptcy settlement with respect to
tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by ENGH’s predecessor. As of
February 14, 2023, these holdings represent approximately 12.5% of
NID’s common assets and approximately 4.3% of NIQ’s common assets.
The current position sizes reflect significant appreciation in the
value of these securities. Various funds and accounts managed by
Nuveen, including NID and NIQ, collectively are a substantial
minority holder of ENGH’s outstanding shares of common stock, and
possess certain other rights with respect to the corporate
governance of ENGH. Due to these facts, under the federal
securities laws, the securities of ENGH held by Nuveen funds and
accounts, including NID and NIQ, cannot be sold except under
limited conditions (which are not currently satisfied) and are
effectively illiquid. The funds are therefore unable to sell such
shares in ordinary secondary market transactions at this time.
Accordingly, it is not expected that either fund will be able to
liquidate its holdings of securities of ENGH prior to its
termination date.
As a result, it is expected that each fund will transfer its
securities issued by ENGH and any other illiquid assets to a
liquidating trust on or about the fund’s termination date. Upon
termination, each fund anticipates distributing to all fund
shareholders (i) cash raised from the sale of portfolio securities
and (ii) interests in the liquidating trust equal in relative
proportion to the percentage of the outstanding shares owned by a
shareholder on the liquidation date. Shareholders will not have
rights to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or in any way
encumber the liquidating trust units they receive other than
pursuant to a transfer by operation of law (e.g., upon the death of
the shareholder or as required by law or an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction). The liquidating trust units will not be
offered to the public or traded on an exchange. Each liquidating
trust will exist solely for the purpose of liquidating the
securities transferred to it and distributing the proceeds from
disposition of, and income from, those securities to the trust’s
unitholders (i.e., former fund shareholders). The trustee of each
liquidating trust will make continuing efforts to dispose of the
securities of ENGH held in trust and to make timely distributions
to the trust’s unitholders. Because of Nuveen’s effective status as
a substantial minority owner of ENGH and other rights, and the
consequent limitations on its ability to sell each liquidating
trust’s ENGH securities, it is not presently possible to predict
when either liquidating trust will be able to liquidate its ENGH
holdings and make a final cash distribution to its unitholders.
Each liquidating trust is expected to appoint Nuveen Fund
Advisors, LLC as its Trustee. The trusts will not charge any
management fees but may incur reasonable expenses in connection
with their operation. The liquidating trusts are not expected to
issue tax reporting on Form 1099 like the predecessor funds but
instead will follow trust reporting tax conventions and are
expected to issue tax statements annually. Nuveen does not provide
tax advice; investors should consult a professional tax advisor
regarding their specific tax situation.
