Nuveen Emerging Markets Debt 2022 Target Term Fund Announces Liquidation Details

Nuveen Emerging Markets Debt 2022 Target Term Fund (NYSE: JEMD) today announced new details concerning its liquidation. Consistent with its investment objectives and organizational documents, the fund plans to terminate its existence and liquidate on or about December 1, 2022.

As the fund approaches liquidation, its common shares will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange through November 25, 2022 and will be suspended from trading before the open of trading on November 28, 2022. The fund will not declare its regular monthly distribution in November 2022 and expects that all accumulated earnings will be included in the final liquidating distribution. The fund anticipates making its final liquidating distribution on or about December 1, 2022.

As previously announced, the fund entered its wind-up period in anticipation of its termination date. Leading up to the final liquidating distribution date, as the fund’s portfolio securities continue to mature and are sold, the fund may further deviate from its investment objectives and policies, and its portfolio will continue to transition into high quality, short-term securities or cash and cash equivalents.

Also as previously announced, due to market conditions, JEMD does not anticipate returning the Original NAV at its termination. The investment objective relating to Original NAV is not a guarantee and is dependent on a number of factors including the extent of market recovery and the cumulative level of income retained in relation to cumulative portfolio gains net of losses.

Shareholders may recognize a gain or loss for U.S. tax purposes as a result of the liquidation. Nuveen does not provide tax advice; investors should consult a professional tax advisor regarding their specific tax situation.
