The joint proxy/prospectus states the mergers would create a larger combined fund ($2,700,666,839 common assets pro forma as of March 31, 2026), may raise common-share net earnings and distributions (historical monthly distributions: NMS $0.0665; NPV $0.0650; NZF $0.0795), and would eliminate the Target Funds’ state-specific tax exemption.
