Nuveen Mortgage Opportunity Term Fund (JLS)
Nuveen Mortgage Opportunity Term Fund 2 (JMT)
Shareholder Meeting – July 30, 2019
PLEASE VOTE NOW BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT
Dear Shareholder:
According to our records, you have not voted on important proposals regarding your fund. Unless a sufficient number of shareholders vote by July 30, 2019, the adjournment date for your fund’s Shareholder Meeting, your fund will not be able to implement these proposals without adjourning the shareholder meeting to a later date. The Shareholder Meeting will reconvene on July 30, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. Central Time at the offices of Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606.
YOUR FUND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSALS.
Please vote now to help your fund avoid further adjournments.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE NOW ON THESE IMPORTANT MATTERS REGARDING THEIR FUND.
It’s extremely important that you participate in the management of your investment by voting. Please take a few moments to review the information in the Joint Proxy Statement previously provided to you, and cast your vote now. You may obtain a copy of the Joint Proxy Statement for your fund at http://www.nuveenproxy.com/Closed-End-Fund-Proxy-Information/ .
Nuveen Mortgage Opportunity Term Fund and Nuveen Mortgage Opportunity Term Fund 2 are term funds that are scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2019 and February 28, 2020, respectively, unless the Board of a Fund extends the term in accordance with the charter documents of such Fund. Shareholders are asked to vote on certain proposals in connection with the proposed elimination of the term structure of their Fund and the adoption of a broader investment mandate. As more fully described in the Joint Proxy Statement, the proposals, if approved, will provide shareholders of each Fund with the opportunity to either (1) continue their investment in securitized credit through their Fund with a broader investment mandate and with no scheduled Fund termination date, or (2) exit all or a portion of their investment pursuant to a tender offer by the Fund at net asset value (“NAV”), which is the same measure used to determine the value that shareholders would receive upon termination of the Fund under the current term structure.
