DALLAS, July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NYSE: NXDT) ("NXDT") today announced that it has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") for an order (the "Order Sought") to cease to be a reporting issuer in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan.

NXDT has made this application following the completion of the merger transaction with NexPoint Hospitality Trust ("NHT") that resulted in NXDT becoming a reporting issuer in Canada. If the OSC grants the Order Sought, NXDT will cease to be a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada. As a result, NXDT will no longer be required to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents in Canada pursuant to Canadian securities laws.

A decision by the OSC to permit NXDT to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada will not affect NXDT's listings on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or its reporting obligations in the United States.

In this regard, Canadian resident securityholders will continue to have access to all financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents required to be filed publicly by NXDT under United States securities laws and the rules of the NYSE. Continuous disclosure documents of NXDT as required by United States securities laws and the rules of the NYSE are available at: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search-and-access, and on NXDT's website at https://nxdt.nexpoint.com. NXDT's securityholders resident in Canada will continue to receive copies of the continuous disclosure documents that are required to be delivered to securityholders in the United States in the same manner and at the same time as are required under the applicable securities laws of the United States.
