The Board of Trustees of Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: NMI) has approved certain investment policy changes for the fund. The fund’s investment objective to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax remains unchanged.

The policy changes grant the fund more flexibility to invest in lower rated municipal securities. The table below summarizes the changes, which are effective immediately.

Description of Investment Policy Changes

Current Policy

New Policy

The Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade quality municipal securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one NRSRO that rate such securities, or if it is unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s sub-adviser. A security is considered investment grade if it is rated within the four highest letter grades by at least one NRSRO that rate such securities (even if rated lower by another), or if it is unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s sub-adviser (such securities are commonly referred to as split-rated securities).

The Fund may invest up to 75% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that are rated BBB/Baa or lower by at least one NRSRO or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the fund’s sub-adviser.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated below investment grade (Ba or BB or lower) by all NRSRO or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s sub-adviser; however, the Fund may not invest more than 10% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities rated below B3/B- by all NRSROs that rate the security or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s sub-adviser.

The Fund may not invest more than 10% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities rated below B3/B- by any NRSROs that rate the security or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the fund’s sub-adviser.

The Fund may invest in distressed securities but may not invest in the securities of an issuer which, at the time of investment, is in default on its obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding (i.e., rated below C-, at the time of investment); provided, however, that the Fund’s sub-adviser may determine that it is in the best interest of shareholders in pursuing a workout arrangement with issuers of defaulted securities to make loans to the defaulted issuer or another party, or purchase a debt, equity or other interest from the defaulted issuer or another party, or take other related or similar steps involving the investment of additional monies, but only if that issuer’s securities are already held by the Fund.

The Fund may invest in the securities of an issuer which, at the time of investment, is in default on its obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding (i.e., rated below C- at the time of investment) (“defaulted securities”), and may invest in municipal securities that are experiencing other financial difficulties at the time of acquisition (such securities are commonly referred to as distressed securities). The Fund’s sub-adviser may determine that it is in the best interest of shareholders in pursuing a workout arrangement with issuers of defaulted securities to make loans to the defaulted issuer or another party, or purchase a debt, equity or other interest from the defaulted issuer or another party, or take other related or similar steps involving the investment of additional monies.

Exposure to lower rated securities involves special risks, including an increased risk with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest or dividends and repay principal.
