Item 8.01    Other Events.

Nuveen Variable Rate Preferred & Income Fund (NYSE: NPFD) (the “Fund”) convened its 2024 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 15, 2024. At the Annual Meeting, holders of the Fund’s outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (“Preferred Shares”) elected Albin F. Moschner and Maragret L. Wolff to serve as Trustees of the Fund elected by the holders of Preferred Shares only, voting separately as a single class, for a term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders of the Fund or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Annual Meeting was adjourned to May 31, 2024 with respect to all other items of business to be voted on by Fund shareholders, including the election of Class III Trustees of the Fund.

On May 31, 2024, the Fund reconvened the Annual Meeting. A quorum of the Fund’s shareholders was not present in person or represented by proxy at the reconvened Annual Meeting. As a result, no Class III Trustees were elected at the Annual Meeting, and the current Class III Trustees will continue to serve as holdover Trustees until the Fund’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. In addition, due to the lack of a quorum, no vote was taken with respect to the ratification of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.
