NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”) announced today the pricing of (1) an offering (the “GBP Offering”) of £550 million aggregate principal amount of 6.052% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 GBP Notes”), and (2) an offering (the “USD Offering”) of $2 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes which were offered in three series: (i) a series of 5.572% Senior Notes due 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (the “2029 USD Notes”), (ii) a series of 5.738% Senior Notes due 2031 in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (the “2031 USD Notes”) and (iii) a series of 6.063% Senior Notes due 2036 in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “2036 USD Notes” and, together with the 2031 GBP Notes, the 2029 USD Notes and the 2031 USD Notes, the “Notes”).

Nuveen intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, to fund a portion of the cash consideration for Nuveen’s acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Schroders plc and to pay fees and expenses related to the Acquisition and to this offering.

The Notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of Nuveen. The 2031 GBP Notes will mature on September 25, 2031, the 2029 USD Notes will mature on September 25, 2029, the 2031 USD Notes will mature on September 25, 2031 and the 2036 USD Notes will mature on September 25, 2036.

The closing of the GBP Offering is not contingent on the closing of the USD Offering, nor is the closing of the USD Offering contingent on the closing of GBP Offering.

The Notes were offered only to (i) persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

UTulsa rises to Top 75 private research university in U.S. News rankings

Published

on

By

TULSA, Okla., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The University of Tulsa is ranked a Top 75 private research university, according to the 2027 U.S. News & World Report’s Best College report released Tuesday. The publication also ranks UTulsa the No. 1 best value for higher education in the state of Oklahoma.

Academic excellence and outstanding outcomes drive UTulsa’s recognition as a leading small, private research university.

UTulsa advanced 10 places in overall rank for national universities, increased 16 spots in undergraduate engineering programs, jumped 57 positions in undergraduate computer science programs, climbed 26 places in undergraduate business programs and rose eight spots among the best colleges for veterans.

The University of Tulsa remained No. 3 for undergraduate petroleum engineering programs among all national universities and No. 1 in Oklahoma.

Earlier this year, UTulsa took the bold step to increase access to academic excellence by announcing that the annual undergraduate rate for tuition and required fees will be set at $25,000 beginning in fall 2027. Additionally, new undergraduates will have that rate locked in for at least four years. And once students factor in merit- and need-based financial aid, most will pay even less than the published cost. This move makes The University of Tulsa the most affordable private research university in the nation’s heartland.

U.S. News collected data for the 2027 report before UTulsa made its tuition announcement, signaling that future best value rankings will continue an upward trajectory once the new pricing structure is fully considered.

Tuesday’s rankings news is just the latest of many accolades UTulsa has acquired this year, including:

Named No. 11 in the country for best student experience by the Wall Street JournalRated the top university in Oklahoma by WalletHubRecognized by Money magazine for highest median income for recent grads in Oklahoma

According to Niche.com, students who receive a bachelor’s degree from The University of Tulsa report a median starting salary of $58,279.

“While student experience and post-graduation outcomes will always be our primary focus, these and other rankings confirm that we are a university on the rise. We are on the right track and poised for growth and more significant impact in the near and long term,” said President Stacy Leeds. “Today’s announcement highlights the outstanding achievements of our students, the dedication of our faculty and staff and the generosity of donors who provide opportunity at every turn.”
