Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with the merger of Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL”) into Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”) that was completed as of the close of business on July 31, 2026, the Board of Trustees of Nuveen Mortgage and Income Fund (the “Fund”) approved an investment sub-advisory agreement, effective on August 1, 2026, between Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL”), as investment adviser of the Fund, and NAM, pursuant to which NAM will replace TAL as the Fund’s sub-adviser.
The terms of the amended and restated sub-advisory agreement are substantially similar in all material respects to the terms of the prior sub-advisory agreement with TAL. NAM will provide the same level of services to the Fund as TAL provided. Prior to the merger, NAM and TAL were both affiliates of NFAL and subsidiaries of Nuveen, LLC and, ultimately, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America.
NAM, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, now serves as sub-adviser of the Fund. NFAL pays NAM a portfolio management fee out of the advisory fee paid to NFAL for its services to the Fund. As a result of the merger, there has been no change in the fee paid by the Fund to NFAL or the fee paid by NFAL to NAM.
In addition, there are no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team, investment objective or policies, principal investment strategies, principal risks, or fees and expenses related to the merger.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
