Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the first and second paragraphs thereto and inserting the following paragraphs in their place:

"The responses of the Reporting Persons to Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference. With respect to the VRDP Shares owned by BAPFC, on March 15, 2019, BAPFC assigned certain preferred class voting rights on the VRDP Shares to a voting trust (the "Voting Trust") created pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, dated March 15, 2019, and amended by the Omnibus Amendment to Voting Trust Agreements, dated February 12, 2020, among BAPFC, Lord Securities Corporation, as voting trustee (the "Voting Trustee") and Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (the "Voting Consultant"). Voting and consent rights on the VRDP Shares not assigned to the Voting Trust have been retained by BAPFC. The Voting Trust provides that with respect to voting or consent matters relating to the voting rights assigned to the Voting Trust, the Voting Consultant analyzes such voting or consent matters and makes a recommendation to the Voting Trustee on voting or consenting. The Voting Trustee is obligated to follow any such recommendations of the Voting Consultant when providing a vote or consent.

The VRDP Shares will have the benefit of a liquidity purchase obligation at the times and in the manner specified in the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2019, between The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY") and Bank of America, N.A., as liquidity provider ("BANA"). Certain agreements between the Issuer and BANA as liquidity provider are documented in the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2019, as amended by that certain Amendment to the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2020, between the Issuer and BANA. Certain agreements between the Issuer and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), as remarketing agent for the VRDP Shares are documented in the VRDP Shares Remarking Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2019, as amended by that certain Amendment to the VRDP Shares Remarketing Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2020, between the Issuer and MLPF&S."

Additionally, Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

"Effective as of February 12, 2020, the Scheduled Termination Date of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement and the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement has been extended to April 30, 2021."
 
Item 7.
