## Overview
Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund is a closed-end municipal bond fund that invests in municipal securities; it is merging with three state-focused municipal income funds (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Missouri).

Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund (NMZ) is merging with three state-focused municipal income funds: Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund (NXJ), Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund (NQP), and Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund (NOM). The supplemental disclosure dated February 3, 2026 addresses the impact of the loss of state tax exemption for shareholders of the state-focused funds post-merger. According to the filing, shareholders in NXJ, NQP, and NOM would realize an earnings gain despite losing state tax exemption, as NMZ's common earnings yield of 6.17% as of July 31, 2025 significantly exceeds the yields of the state funds (NXJ: 3.30%, NQP: 3.54%, NOM: 3.32%).
