Regulations require that acquired funds in any reorganization fully distribute any accumulated undistributed net investment income (UNII) prior to effecting the reorganization.
NCP, NCO, NQC, NUC and NVC are declaring distributions which will comply with these regulations, payable July 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014 to fund shareholders of record on June 6, 2014. Following the merger, NAC is expected to declare an additional distribution, payable August 1, 2014. The total dollar amount of the pre- and post-merger tax-exempt distributions received on July 1, 2014 as well as August 1, 2014 will be equal to or greater than the shareholder’s prior monthly tax-exempt dividend.
Since the record date is June 6, 2014 for each funds’ distributions payable July 1, 2104 and all or a portion of the August 1, 2014 payable, any new fund shares acquired between the associated ex-dividend date of June 4, 2014 and the September distribution’s ex-dividend date of August 13, 2014 will not receive a full monthly distribution until September 2, 2014. However, the tax-exempt income earned on these shares during this period will be reflected in the fund’s net asset value as undistributed net investment income (UNII) which will be paid out over time. Shareholders of all 6 funds who hold shares as of the June 6, 2014 record date and continue to hold shares of NAC on the record date of the expected post-merger distribution will continue to receive full monthly distributions each month from July 1, 2014 through August 1, 2014. The distribution information is detailed in the table above.
NCU is declaring distributions which will comply with these regulations, payable July 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014 to fund shareholders of record on June 6, 2014. Since the record date is June 6, 2014 for the fund’s distributions payable July 1, 2104 and August 1, 2014, any new fund shares acquired between the associated ex-dividend date of June 4, 2014 and the September distribution’s ex-dividend date of August 13, 2014 will not receive a full monthly distribution until September 2, 2014. However, the tax-exempt income earned on these shares during this period will be reflected in the fund’s net asset value as undistributed net investment income (UNII) which will be paid out over time. Shareholders of the fund who hold shares as of the June 6, 2014 record date will continue to receive full monthly distributions each month from July 1, 2014 through August 1, 2014. The distribution information is detailed in the table above.
NGX and NMB are declaring distributions which will comply with these regulations, payable July 1, 2014 to fund shareholders of record on June 6, 2014. Following the merger, NMT is expected to declare an additional distribution, payable July 1, 2014. The total dollar amount of the pre- and post-merger tax-exempt distributions received on July 1, 2014 will be equal to or greater than the shareholder’s prior monthly tax-exempt dividend.
Since the record date is June 6, 2014 for a portion of the payable July 1, 2104, any new fund shares acquired between the associated ex-dividend date of June 4, 2014 and the August distribution’s ex-dividend date of July 11, 2014 will not receive a full monthly distribution until August 1, 2014. However, the tax-exempt income earned on these shares during this period will be reflected in the fund’s net asset value as undistributed net investment income (UNII) which will be paid out over time. The distribution information is detailed in the table above.
