CHICAGO--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as high-net-worth and affluent investors,today announced that the Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (AMEX: NXI) has successfully completed the public offering of $10.594 million of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (MTP). The net proceeds from this offering of MTP shares will be used to refinance all of the funda™s outstanding auction-rate preferred securities (ARPS). MTP shares are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) within 30 days of original issuance under the symbol NXI PrD.

MTP is a fixed rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period, in the case of this offering, of five years. By issuing MTP, the fund seeks to take advantage of the current historically low interest rate environment to lock in an attractive tax-exempt cost of leverage for a period as long as the term of the MTP. Issuing MTP helps the fund mitigate the risk of a significant increase in the cost of leverage should short-term interest rates rise.

Investors should consider the investment objectives and policies, risk considerations, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. For a prospectus which contains this and other information relevant to an investment in MTP shares of the fund, please contact your securities representative or Nuveen Investments, LLC, 333 W.
