Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to report to you on the annual performance of your Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Fund. Providing a stable, attractive tax-free dividend is the
Fund's main objective, and over the past year, your Fund continued to achieve
this goal. During the period covered by this report, we have seen some shifts in
the U.S. investment climate and the fixed-income environment in which your
Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund operates. I appreciate the opportunity to review the
current investment environment with you, as does the portfolio manager of your
Fund, who discusses fund performance later in this report.

In addition, I would like to welcome the shareholders of the former Nuveen
Washington Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPW), which was merged into the Nuveen
Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. (NPT). In August 1999, the shareholders of
both funds voted to approve this reorganization, and the merger took place on
September 9, 1999. As expected, the shareholders of the combined fund are now
benefiting from several advantages resulting from the merger: reduced management
fees per share, lower administrative expenses, and increased efficiency and
flexibility in portfolio management. Over time, the lowered expense ratio can
contribute to increased earnings for common shareholders. In addition, a larger
asset base, such as that of NPT following the merger, typically leads to higher
daily trading volume, which in turn can help increase the liquidity of the
trading market for NPT's common shares.


A CHALLENGING INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
Over the past 12 months, the U.S. economy continued to be characterized by
surprisingly robust growth, benign inflation, and unemployment levels that
remained among the lowest in three decades. However, concerns about the
persistent pace of the economy's expansion continued to test the new paradigm,
which holds that the improvements in productivity achieved through technology
enable us to have both economic growth and low inflation at the same time. With
investors watching and reacting to each announcement concerning economic
statistics, volatility increased, especially in the equity markets, and the
spectre of inflation seemed to lurk behind every report. Especially worrisome to
the Federal Reserve was the possibility that tight labor markets would
eventually have an inflationary effect on wages and, consequently, on consumer
prices.

In an effort to pre-empt this threat of inflation, the Fed moved to raise
interest rates by a quarter-point on three separate occasions between June and
November 1999. This brought the federal funds rate - which represents the
amount banks charge one another on overnight loans, establishing the standard
for other short-term rates - from 4.75% to 5.50%, thereby erasing the three rate
cuts enacted by the Fed a year earlier. At its November meeting, the Fed
announced that it would shift to a neutral stance following the latest interest
rate increase. With Y2K on the horizon, followed by the politics of an election
year, investors had some hope that the Fed would put any additional rate hikes
on hold. However, the Fed's indication that it would renew its close attention
to the rate of economic growth left the door open for another tightening.

MUNICIPAL BOND PERFORMANCE
Over the past fiscal year, our exchange-traded municipal bond funds continued to
offer attractive, stable income in a market that places a high premium on yield.
At the end of October 1999, the ratio between long-term municipal yields and
30-year Treasury yields stood at 100.3%, compared with the historical average of
86% for the period 1986-1999. For investors, this meant that quality long-term
municipal bonds offered yields slightly higher than those of long Treasury bonds
- - even before the tax advantages of municipals were taken into account. On an
after-tax basis, municipal bonds continued to present an exceptionally
attractive investment option relative to Treasuries.

<PAGE>

During 1999, we have seen the supply of municipal bonds drop off from the
near-record levels of 1998. This was largely due to the increase in interest
rates, which deterred municipal governments from issuing new debt and removed
much of the incentive to refund existing bonds. To date, municipal supply has
declined by approximately 20% from the levels of a year ago. This, in turn,
enhanced the attractiveness of the municipal bonds that were brought to market,
as demand - especially from individual investors - remained strong. We
anticipate that this demand will continue to strengthen as investors
increasingly look at rebalancing their portfolios. With the outlook for tighter
supply and continued demand in the months ahead, Nuveen's established market
position as the leading sponsor of exchange-traded municipal bond funds ensures
that we will have excellent access to the bond offerings that have the potential
to add value for our shareholders.


A BALANCED PORTFOLIO:
ENHANCED GROWTH WITH REDUCED RISK
If you are like most investors in the market-place today, your goals for
tax-free investing probably include capturing high after-tax total returns while
moderating risk. To demonstrate the role that municipal bonds can play in
achieving this goal, Nuveen tracked a balanced portfolio consisting of equities
and municipal bonds and compared its hypothetical investment performance -
based on appropriate market indexes and tax rates - with that of a balanced
portfolio composed of equities and taxable bonds.

Our research showed that, over the past 20 years, the pairing of equities with
municipal bonds provided both superior after-tax total returns and lower levels
of risk than the combination of equities and taxable bonds. Incorporating even a
20% allocation of municipal bonds into an all-equity portfolio cut risk
substantially, with only a small reduction in after-tax total return. Purchasing
shares of a Nuveen Exchange-Traded Municipal Bond Fund provides an easy way to
incorporate the benefits of municipal bonds into a balanced portfolio.


NUVEEN FUNDS:
AN ANSWER TO YOUR INVESTMENT NEEDS
In light of the recent shifts in the investment environment, your financial
adviser can serve as a valuable resource in helping you determine if adjustments
are needed in your current asset allocation plan and suggesting investments that
can help diversify your portfolio. By investing in other Nuveen funds, you can
bring balance to your portfolio and provide exposure to the different types of
investments that may enhance your potential for success. Your adviser can also
set up a reinvestment plan designed to purchase additional shares of your Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Fund. For more information on Nuveen's expanding array of funds,
contact your financial adviser for a prospectus detailing all charges and
expenses, or call Nuveen at (800) 621-7227. Please read the prospectus carefully
before you invest or send money.


THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Since this is my last opportunity to talk with you before we enter the new
millennium, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the status of Nuveen's
preparations for that event. We believe that Nuveen is fully prepared for the
upcoming transition, from an operational as well as an investment perspective.
During 1999, Nuveen tested all critical operating systems, and we anticipate no
problems with year-end processing. As we evaluated potential investments over
the year, Nuveen carefully reviewed the progress of each issuer toward Y2K
compliance. Last summer, we requested information from the issuers of all bonds
in the funds' portfolios, with special attention to the largest and more
volatile holdings. In the following months, we continued to monitor issuers'
progress in this area, assisted by securities industry oversight organizations,
including the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, as well as rating agencies and insurance companies. Based
on our review, we believe that the majority of issuers are Y2K-compliant. The
diligence of the financial industry as a whole in dealing with this transition
should prove to have ongoing benefits for investors.

Since 1898, Nuveen has been synonymous with investments that stand the test of
time. As we enter the new millennium, we remain committed to maintaining that
reputation and finding the best ways to serve your evolving investment needs.
Thank you for your continued confidence.

Sincerely,


/s/ TIMOTHY R. SCHWERTFEGER

Nuveen Exchange-Traded Funds
Portfolio Manager Roundtable
Portfolio managers Tom Futrell, Steve Peterson, and Ted Neild discuss the
municipal market environment, fund performance, and key investment strategies
for the Nuveen Premium Income exchange-traded funds. Tom assumed portfolio
management duties for NPI in 1988, while Steve has served as portfolio manager
of NPM since 1994. Ted has managed NPT since its inception in 1993.



WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE
PAST 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999?

Over the past year, the U.S. economy continued to forge ahead with few signs of
slowing. Among the statistics showing surprising strength in recent months was
gross domestic product (GDP) growth, which rose 5.5% in the third quarter, well
ahead of projections. The growth in GDP was fueled by rising inventories, an
improved trade balance, and strong consumer spending, which continues to serve
as the main engine powering U.S. economic expansion. Commodity prices,
particularly oil and gold, and raw material prices also continued to rise. For
the most part, however, these increases did not translate into higher consumer
prices. Through the end of October 1999, the Consumer Price Index showed
inflation maintaining its low profile, with an annualized increase of 2.8%.
Labor markets remained among the tightest in 30 years, as the national
unemployment average dropped to 4.1% in October 1999, down from 4.5% in October
1998. Also in October, U.S. personal income surged 1.3%, its biggest jump in
more than five years.

Concerned about the potential for an overheated economy, the Federal Reserve
raised short-term interest rates twice during the fiscal year covered by this
report. A third increase, announced on November 16, occurred after the reporting
period for the Funds. According to the Fed's theory, the impact of the two rate
increases on the stock market during the period covered by this report should
have caused consumer confidence to fall and consumer spending to slow, thereby
pre-empting any reemergence of inflation. Despite the evidence of the Fed's
continued vigilance on the inflation front, the cumulative effect of 1999's
economic events has been negative for the fixed-income markets, including
municipal bonds.


HOW DID THESE EVENTS IMPACT SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
For the first 10 months of 1999, municipal supply across the nation fell just
over 20% from the levels recorded during the same period in 1998. Some of this
decline can be attributed to the rise in interest rates, which deterred
municipalities from issuing long-term debt at higher interest costs. In
addition, the refunding activity involving older debt typically declines in a
rising interest rate environment. Among the states, California and New York
remained the most active issuers in the nation. Although we expect to see
adequate municipal supply for the remainder of the year, Y2K concerns are
expected to affect the new issuance calendar to some extent. To avoid any
potential problems as 1999 turns to 2000, some municipal bond issuers have
accelerated this year's issuance, while others have decided to delay issues
until next year. Issuance should gradually return to a more normal level
following January, with issuance in 2000 expected to be on par with that of
1999.

Over recent months, institutional demand for municipal paper has been weakened
by several events outside the municipal market that have limited the cashflow
available for bond purchases. Insurance companies, which have historically been
major buyers of municipal bonds, have been hit hard by claims from natural
disasters and further hampered by price cutting on insurance premiums in the
property casualty sector, which has hurt earnings. At the same time, fund
redemptions have limited the demand from mutual fund companies, another major
source of institutional demand. In addition, an accelerated corporate bond
issuance calendar, timed to avoid any problems with Y2K, resulted in heavy
corporate bond supply, which vied with municipal bonds for institutional
investor attention.

<PAGE>

On the other hand, demand from individual investors has been a bright spot for
municipal bonds during most of 1999, as investors actively worked to rebalance
their portfolios by redirecting assets from equity investments into the
fixed-income market. In 1998, individual investors held more than 30% of
outstanding municipal debt, making them the largest owner class, and statistics
indicate that municipal bond sales to retail investors in 1999 are on track to
beat 1998's record levels.


HOW DID THE NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS PERFORM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Nuveen Premium Income funds
produced total returns on net asset value (NAV) ranging from -8.59% to -3.66%,
providing taxable-equivalent total returns1 between -6.07% and -0.96% for
shareholders in the 31% federal income tax bracket, as shown in the accompanying
table. The annual total returns for the Funds' benchmark, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index2, and for their Lipper Peer Group3 are also provided.

        ---------------------------------------------------------


The underperformance of the Funds' total returns on NAV relative to their Lehman
benchmark can be attributed largely to their durations4. Duration measures a
bond fund's price volatility, or reaction to interest rate movements (prices
fall when rates rise and vice versa). The longer the duration, the more
sensitive the fund's NAV is to changes in interest rates. During a period of
falling interest rates, a longer duration enables a fund's NAV to participate
more fully in market gains. However, when interest rates rise, as they did over
the last year, a longer duration can make the fund's NAV more vulnerable to
price declines. As of October 31, 1999, the Funds' durations ranged from 9.78 to
14.86, compared with 7.52 for the Lehman index. Between November 1, 1998, and
October 31, 1999, the yield on the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index5 rose from
5.28% to 6.18%. This meant that funds with longer durations, like the Funds in
this report, were more likely to underperform the market, as represented by the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.

Over the past 12 months, the durations of the Nuveen Premium Income funds have
lengthened considerably due to market action, trading activity, and bond calls
that removed shorter bonds from each fund. Proceeds from the sold or called
bonds were reinvested in issues with longer durations, which provided attractive
yields and better call protection. Lengthening the Funds' durations should help
position the Funds to regain net asset value as the bond market recovers.

In 1999, rising interest rates, inflation worries, and the uncertainty
surrounding the timing of the Federal Reserve's moves created a negative
environment in the fixed-income markets. In addition, concerns about the impact
of the transition to the year 2000 precipitated an early start to tax-swap
season, as investors attempt to offset profits in the equity markets by selling
fixed-income investments at a loss. All of these factors have negatively
impacted the market demand for exchange-traded funds such as the Nuveen Premium
Income funds. This resulted in declines in share price across the board. Since
the prevailing interest rate environment in October 1999 was higher than that of
a year earlier, the Funds' NAVs also declined, as bond prices fell while
interest rates rose. As a result of these factors, NPM saw its premium (share
price above NAV) move to a discount (share price below NAV), and the discounts
on NPI and NPT widened over the past 12 months.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AFFECTED?
During the past 12 months, good call protection helped support the dividends of
the Nuveen Premium Income Funds and shield their income from erosion. In
addition, strategic dividend management, including the prudent use of leverage,
enabled us to increase the dividends of NPT in February 1999 and NPM in May
1999. As of October 31, 1999, NPM and NPT had provided share2unholders with
steady or increasing dividends for 85 and 54 consecutive months, respectively,
and NPI had produced 15 consecutive months of stable dividends. All of these
funds continued to provide competitive market yields.


1    The taxable-equivalent yield/total return represents the yield/total return
     that must be earned on a taxable investment in order to equal the
     yield/total return of the Nuveen fund on an after-tax basis. The
     taxable-equivalent yield is based on the fund's cur-rent market yield and a
     federal income tax rate of 31%, while the taxable-equivalent total return
     is based on the annual-ized total return and the 31% federal income tax
     rate.

2    The Premium Income funds are compared with the Lehman Brothers Municipal
     Bond Index, an unleveraged index compris-ing a broad range of investment-
     grade municipal bonds. Results for the index do not reflect any initial or
     ongoing expenses.

3    The returns for the funds are compared with the average annualized return
     of the 46 funds in the Lipper General Leveraged Closed-End Municipal Debt
     Funds category. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvest-ment of dividends.

4    Fund duration, also known as leverage-adjusted duration, takes into account
     the leverag-ing process for each fund and therefore differs from the
     dura-tion of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the
     fund. Unless otherwise noted, references to duration in this commentary are
     intended to indicate fund duration.

5    The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index is an unmanaged index of long-term
     municipal revenue bonds.

6    A fund's premium or discount represents the percentage dif-ference between
     the fund's share price and its net asset value (NAV).

<PAGE>

All of the Nuveen Premium Income funds issue Muni-Preferred shares that pay
short-term interest rates to investors seeking short-term liquidity. The
proceeds from the preferred shares are used to buy additional long-term bonds
for the Funds' portfolios, which can generate additional income for the
portfolio but which may increase volatility, including lengthening duration.
When short-term interest rates remain below long-term rates, common shareholders
can potentially earn extra income from the difference between the rate earned on
the Fund's long-term portfolio and the short-term rate paid to preferred
shareholders. While leveraged funds carry higher risk than non-leveraged funds,
they are compensated for this additional risk in the form of higher yields.

During the past year, the leverage ratios of all three funds fell below the
Nuveen guideline of 35%. This led to the issuance of new MuniPreferred shares
for NPI and NPM in May and for NPT in June. Nuveen relever-aged the Funds both
to restore the original leverage ratio of 35% and to provide the potential for
increased incremental tax-free income for common shareholders.

WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
Over the past year, these Funds were managed with the goals of maintaining high
levels of income in high-quality and diversified portfolios, supporting and
strengthening the Funds' long-term dividend capabilities, and enhancing total
return potential by discovering and exploiting undervalued sectors and
securities. In addition, we focused on improving call protection and enhancing
the Funds' tax efficiency by offsetting potential capital gains with capital
losses.

Enhanced tax efficiency has been an increasing focus for us over the past six
months, as the rising interest rate environment offered opportunities to benefit
the Funds through active trading. The increased level of recent trading activity
is reflected in the transaction volume figure for the Nuveen Exchange-Traded
Funds for the third quarter of 1999, which was 10 times that of the same period
in 1998. The strategy we are employing involves selling selected bonds that are
trading at a loss, recognizing the capital losses, and then rolling the proceeds
into bonds with similar characteristics, but offering current market yields and
better call protection. Some of the bonds we sold were due to mature or
scheduled to be called within the next few months, while others were bonds that
we had purchased earlier this year that were now producing a lower income stream
than that recently available in the market. This trading not only gave us
capital losses with which to offset current and future capital gains, protecting
shareholders from additional taxes, but also in most cases - increased the net
earnings of the Funds. If current market conditions persist, we will continue to
focus on implementing this strategy.

Although new issue supply in the municipal market has declined from last year's
levels, we were able to identify attractive bonds in several sectors that added
to the Funds' diversification. Among these were utilities and transportation,
especially the airline industry. We also continue to watch for opportunities in
the more traditional issuer sectors, including water and sewer bonds and general
obligation debt. In NPT, we increased our exposure to multifamily housing from
8% in October 1998 to 14% in October 1999. Multifamily housing is a complex
sector that is often overlooked by the rest of the market. The resources of
Nuveen research are critical to understanding the tax-credit and Section 8
offerings in this sector, enabling us to make informed purchase decisions. In
addition to enhancing diversification, these bonds provide attractive income,
with the potential of being an excellent example of the types of purchases we
made to support the Funds' dividends.

During the past year, Nuveen has kept a close watch on the healthcare sector, a
dynamic and volatile area of the market that has been beset with concerns about
deregulation and profitability. This has created credit and rating pressures
for certain healthcare organizations and caused some investors to avoid the
sector entirely. Since one of Nuveen's strategies is to find value in sectors
and bonds that have been overlooked by the rest of the market, the healthcare
sector has been an area where Nuveen research and our prudent investment
approach enable us to find and exploit opportunities that can add value for our
shareholders. As credit spreads (or the difference between higher credit quality
securities and those of lower credit quality) widened in recent months,
rewarding investors with higher yields for assuming incremental risk, we
selectively purchased attractive issues with good future total return prospects.
In NPI, which was underweighted in this sector, we purchased

<PAGE>

some A rated healthcare issues that added incremental yield, while NPM added
some BBB rated hospital bonds. The prospects of this sector should be further
enhanced when Washington acts on proposals affecting federal reimbursements for
Medicare, which should improve the creditworthiness of some healthcare
organizations.

All three funds offer excellent credit quality, with the portion of the Funds'
assets invested in bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 65% to
82% at the end of October 1999. The Funds also had substantial allocations (9%
to 19%) of BBB and non-rated bonds. Over the past year, NPT increased its
exposure to this sector from 11% to 19%, primarily in multifamily housing bonds.
These lower-rated bonds generally provided enhanced levels of yield, especially
as credit spreads widened. Nuveen's research expertise, along with our presence
in the municipal market, means that shareholders can be assured that the
creditworthiness of all issuers is subjected to Nuveen's stringent review
process before bonds are purchased for the Funds' portfolios.

In the area of bond calls, all three Funds currently provide excellent levels of
call protection, with less than 11% of NPI and NPT and approximately 7% of NPM
subject to calls through the end of 2001. This should provide additional
protection and stability for the Funds' dividends over this period. To reduce
the impact of any calls, we continuously work on strategies designed to enhance
call protection. As mentioned earlier, we have been active buyers in the current
market as we try to take advantage of the higher interest rate environment.
These recent purchases can also benefit the Funds by extending call protection.
Given the current level of bond yields, we have been evaluating suitable
replacements for older bonds, focusing on bonds that we believe are undervalued
and have the potential to support the Funds' dividends and enhance portfolio
structure. This should enable us to continue providing a competitive level of
dividends for our shareholders.

WHAT IS NUVEEN'S OUTLOOK FOR THE FUNDS?
In the months ahead, we plan to take advantage of the higher yields currently
available in the municipal market to enhance our portfolio holdings and the
dividend capabilities of the Funds. We will continue to watch for attractive
opportunities in sectors that are under pressure, as the current market is
presenting the perfect environment in which to execute this strategy. We will
also continue to monitor the Funds' durations, which we will move to more
market-neutral positions as the market allows if we can do so without impacting
the portfolio's total return. While credits spreads remain wider, we will
continue to monitor the BBB and non-rated sector, watching for additional
opportunities to take advantage of higher yields, especially in NPM.

The ability to implement strategies with the potential to benefit the Funds
demonstrates the value that can be added by an active bond manager such as
Nuveen. As an experienced investment manager knowledgeable about the unique
aspects of the municipal market, we are in the marketplace every day, monitoring
market dynamics, looking for opportunities, and trying to capitalize on them to
the benefit of shareholders.

portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen
Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. and Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund

therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements


1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding
New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.
(NPI), Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NPM) and Nuveen Premium
Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. (NPT).

Each Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations
issued by state and local government authorities. The Funds are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management
investment companies.

On September 9, 1999, NPT acquired all of the net assets of Nuveen Washington
Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPW) pursuant to a plan of reorganization
approved by the common shareholders of NPW and the preferred shareholders of NPT
and NPW on August 17, 1999. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free
exchange of 2,351,909 common shares of NPT for the 2,320,051 common shares of
NPW outstanding on September 9, 1999. NPW's net assets at that date of
$49,550,416 included $1,045,588 of net unrealized appreciation and $17,000,000
of preferred shares at liquidation value which were combined with that of NPT.
The combined net assets of NPT immediately after the acquisition were
$936,836,305.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. When price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields
or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon,
maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers and general
market conditions. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to
the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
October 31, 1999, Premium Income had an outstanding delayed delivery purchase
commitment of $5,209,401. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in
Premium Income 2 and Premium Income 4.

Investment Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on long-term debt securities
when required for federal income tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its tax-exempt net
investment income, in addition to any significant amounts of net realized
capital gains and/or market discount realized from investment transactions. The
Funds currently consider significant net realized capital gains and/or market
discount as amounts in excess of $.01 per Common share. Furthermore, each Fund
intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such
tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly
tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999,
have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gain and
market discount distributions are subject to federal taxation.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Tax-exempt net investment income is declared monthly as a dividend and payment
is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first
business day after month-end. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount
from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less
frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the
extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

<PAGE>

Distributions to shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized
capital gains and/or market discount are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The
amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of these
differences may occur and will be classified as either distributions in excess
of net investment income, distributions in excess of net realized gains and/or
distributions in excess of net ordinary taxable income from investment
transactions, where applicable.

Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend
rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set by the auction agent.
The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each of the Funds
is as follows:

                                         Premium      Premium     Premium

================================================================================
Effective May 21, 1999, Premium Income issued 2,000 Series M2 $25,000 stated
value Preferred shares.

Effective May 28, 1999, Premium Income 2 issued 1,880 Series F2 $25,000 stated
value Preferred shares.

Effective June 18, 1999, Premium Income 4 issued 520 Series W2 $25,000 stated
value Preferred shares.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in transactions in certain derivative financial instruments
including futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial
instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to
invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not
make any such investments during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian fees
and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with
the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by the Funds are
either covered by insurance issued by several private insurers or are backed by
an escrow or trust containing U.S. government or U.S. government agency
securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest in
the event of default (52% for Premium Income, 54% for Premium Income 2 and 40%
for Premium Income 4). Such insurance or escrow, however, does not guarantee the
market value of the municipal securities or the value of any of the Funds'
shares.

For additional information regarding each investment security, refer to the
Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.

Build Your Wealth Automatically

Sidebar text: Nuveen offers a number of convenient ways to add to your portfolio
and earn the tax-free income you need to achieve your financial goals.

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your
reinvestment account.

NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends
and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. If you do not
elect to reinvest distributions, all distributions are paid by check or can be
deposited directly into your bank or brokerage account.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. You'll also potentially benefit from dollar-cost averaging, a
technique of investing at regular intervals, which allows you to build a
high-quality, tax-free portfolio conveniently and cost effectively over time.

To be effective, dollar cost averaging requires that you invest over a long
period of time and does not assure that you will profit.

EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
Income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that
are reinvested.

HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset
value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price
per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid
in shares issued by the fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage
commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These
commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

FLEXIBILITY
You may, of course, change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at
any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can
receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account
and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment
account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can also reinvest if your shares are registered in the name of a brokerage
firm, bank, or other nominee. Just ask your investment adviser if the firm will
participate on your behalf. If not, it's easy to have the shares registered in
your name and to apply for a reinvestment account directly. Participants whose
shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the
shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll
in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial adviser or call us at

YEAR 2000
The concern that computer systems may have problems processing date-related
information in the year 2000 and beyond has challenged businesses and
organizations to thoroughly review all aspects of their operations. We have
undertaken just such an approach at Nuveen in preparation for the millennium.
Over the last 10 years, we have updated or replaced our trading, fund
management, and pricing systems at Nuveen - systems that directly affect our
investors and their financial advisers - to address Year 2000 concerns.

We continue to work closely with our transfer agent, custodian, firms through
whom we buy and sell portfolio securities, and other service partners to monitor
the Year 2000 readiness of their systems, while addressing other remaining
systems issues.

In addition, the Funds hold securities of issuers whose business operations
leave them susceptible to Year 2000 concerns. We seek to evaluate an issuer's
Year 2000 readiness as part of our initial and ongoing research of these
issuers. This is only one of the many factors considered in determining whether
to buy, sell, or continue holding a particular security.

Our Year 2000 review, repair, and testing program has been substantially
completed. This program included industry-wide testing of critical systems and
receipt of satisfactory assurances from critical service providers, vendors, and
issuers regarding their Year 2000 readiness. We will continue more refined
testing of our systems and their relationships with other parties' systems and
will regularly discuss the results of this testing with those parties. We are
also making Year 2000 contingency plans to guide recovery efforts in the event
that, despite our remediation attempts, Year 2000 issues adversely affect the
Funds. Although we can never have complete assurance that the steps we take will
be sufficient to prevent any problems that would impact the Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Funds, we can assure you that we will take all reasonable steps
to prevent disruption of the services provided by your Fund.

FUND POLICIES
The Board of Trustees of your Fund recently modified certain investment policies
of the Fund. The Fund was formerly not permitted to invest more than 5% of its
total assets in Municipal Leases that contain "non-appropriation" clauses. In
addition, your Fund was not permitted to invest more than 10% of its total
assets in Municipal Leases and securities that are unmarketable, illiquid or not
readily marketable. The Municipal Lease market has matured since the Fund's
inception, and non-appropriation leases have become more liquid and widely
accepted. The Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund Board has eliminated the restrictions
noted above, replacing them with requirements that the Funds limit investments
in non-appropriation Municipal Leases to those that meet one or more of six
criteria that indicate that the issuer will be motivated to continue to
appropriate monies to make the payments under the Municipal Lease.

The Board also eliminated the Fund's policy not to invest more than 5% of its
total assets in unsecured obligations of issuers which, together with their
predecessors, have been in operation for less than three years.

Each fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the 12-month period ended October 31, 1999. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.
