Business Wire
Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment
services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today
announced that the Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal
Fund (AMEX: NGB) has successfully completed the issuance of $20.1
million of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (MTP). The net proceeds
from the offering of MTP shares will be used to refinance all of
NGB’s outstanding auction-rate preferred securities (ARPS). MTP
shares are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
within 30 days of original issuance under the symbol NGB
PrC.
MTP is a fixed rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory
redemption period of five years. By issuing MTP, the fund seeks to
take advantage of the current historically low interest rate
environment to lock in an attractive tax-exempt cost of leverage
for a period as long as the term of the MTP. Issuing MTP helps the
fund mitigate the risk of a significant increase in its cost of
leverage should short-term interest rates rise.
The Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund is a
leveraged closed-end fund that seeks to provide current income
exempt from both federal income taxes and Virginia income taxes and
enhance portfolio value.
The fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in
investment grade quality municipal bonds (Baa/BBB or better) and
may invest up to 20 percent of its net assets in municipal bonds
that are rated Ba/BB or B or that are unrated but judged to be of
comparable quality.
Investors should consider the investment objectives and
policies, risk considerations, charges and expenses of the fund
carefully before investing. For a prospectus which contains this
and other information relevant to an investment in MTP shares of
the fund, please contact your securities representative or Nuveen
