Insights

REIT Financial Analyst

NXDT's $0.15 quarterly distribution with 20% cash cap preserves capital while maintaining REIT status, potentially diluting shareholder value.

NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NXDT) has declared a $0.15 per share quarterly distribution that merits investor attention for its unusual structure. The distribution will be primarily paid in additional NXDT shares rather than cash, with the cash component capped at 20% of the total distribution.

This structure signals capital preservation is a priority for management. By limiting cash outflows to just 20% of the distribution value, NXDT retains significant capital that would otherwise leave the company. The announcement specifically mentions this approach will "enhance NXDT's financial flexibility" – essentially keeping more cash available for operations or potential investments.

Simultaneously, this structure helps NXDT maintain its REIT status, which requires distributing at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders. By issuing shares instead of cash, NXDT satisfies these distribution requirements without depleting cash reserves.

For shareholders, this presents a mixed outcome. While they'll receive the full $0.15 per share value, most will receive it as additional NXDT shares. This effectively creates dilution, as the company will issue new shares based on the volume-weighted average price over September 22-24. Despite receiving limited cash, shareholders will still face tax liability on the full distribution amount, creating a potential cash flow challenge for some investors who must pay taxes on income not received in cash.

The mandatory election process adds administrative complexity, requiring shareholders to actively choose between all-cash (which will be prorated if oversubscribed) or all-shares options by September 19th. Those who fail to make an election will automatically receive shares only.

DALLAS, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust ("NXDT") (NYSE: NXDT) announced today that its board of trustees has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.15 per common share of NXDT, consisting of a combination of cash and common shares of NXDT. The distribution will be payable on September 30, 2025, to shareholders of record on August 14, 2025.

The board of trustees has determined that the cash component of the distribution (other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) will not exceed 20% in the aggregate, with the balance payable in common shares of NXDT. This will allow NXDT to comply with the real estate investment trust ("REIT") qualification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, while retaining capital and enhancing NXDT's financial flexibility.

In accordance with the provisions of IRS Revenue Procedure 2017-45, shareholders will be asked to make an election to receive the distribution all in cash or all in shares. To the extent that more than 20% of cash is elected in the aggregate, the cash portion will be prorated. Shareholders who elect to receive the distribution in cash will receive at least 20% of the distribution in cash. Shareholders who do not make an election will receive the distribution entirely in common shares of NXDT. The number of shares issued as a result of the distribution will be calculated based on the volume-weighted average trading prices of NXDT's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on September 22, 23 and 24, 2025.

An election notice and election form will be mailed to shareholders of record after the record date. The properly completed election form to receive cash or common shares must be received by Equiniti Trust Company, NXDT's transfer agent, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 19, 2025.

Shareholders who hold their shares through a bank or broker should inform the bank or broker of their election. NXDT expects the distribution to be a taxable distribution to shareholders, regardless of whether a particular shareholder receives the distribution in the form of cash or shares. Shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisers for proper tax treatment of NXDT's distributions. NXDT reserves the right to pay future distributions entirely in cash.
