NQS Nuveen Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.

Plans Seek to Enhance Income Potential and Provide Greater Liquidity

Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as individual investors, today announced that the Board of Trustees of nine Nuveen closed-end funds has approved a change to the funds’ investment policies. As result, each fund identified in the table below will reposition its portfolio to achieve and consistently maintain a higher allocation to municipal securities rated BBB and below to enhance the funds’ competitiveness and investor appeal and thereby improve the market price at which the common shares trade relative to net asset value. Effective immediately, each fund may, under its revised investment policy, invest up to 35 percent of its portfolio in municipal securities rated BBB and below. However, the funds each have agreements related to outstanding preferred shares. These agreements currently have covenants aligned with the funds’ prior investment policy. Consequently, the funds will not be able to immediately take full advantage of the enhanced flexibility of the new investment policy. Those agreements may be amended in the future.

Additionally, the funds’ Board of Trustees approved plans to merge the funds in order to enhance the funds’ trading appeal and lower operating expenses by creating single, larger funds with distinct mandates.

The proposed fund mergers are as follows:

              Acquired Fund   Symbol   Acquiring Fund   Symbol Nuveen Premier Municipal Income Fund, Inc.   NPF   Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, to be renamed Nuveen Enhanced Quality Municipal Fund   NAD Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. NPI Nuveen Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. NQS Nuveen Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.   NQM         Nuveen Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. NMO

Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Income Fund, to be renamed Nuveen Enhanced AMT-Free Municipal Quality Fund

NEA Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. NPM Nuveen Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc.   NPP      

A Q&A posted on Nuveen’s web site provides a summary of the investment policy changes and proposed mergers. Detailed information on the proposals will be contained in the proxy materials expected to be filed in the near future.
