Recent Company History

Over the last six months, NXG has combined recurring distribution announcements with capital-raising via a transferable rights offering. In December 2025 and February 2026, the Fund declared monthly distributions of $0.54 per share, generally estimating a high return-of-capital component. In March–May 2026, NXG launched and completed a rights offering, issuing 1,539,655 shares at a subscription price of $58.45. Today’s 11.1% distribution increase builds on that pattern of active capital and distribution management.

8 terms

return of capital financial

"The Fund estimates approximately 100% of the Fund's distributions will be characterized as return of capital."

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

net asset value financial

"closed-end funds trade on their market value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a discount"

Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.

View in glossary

closed-end management investment company financial

"The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company with an investment objective"

A closed-end management investment company is a pooled investment fund that raises a fixed amount of capital by issuing a set number of shares and then lists those shares for trading on an exchange; investors buy and sell shares on the market rather than redeeming them back to the fund. Think of it like a store with a fixed number of bottles on the shelf: the market price can be higher or lower than the underlying value of the assets, which matters to investors because it affects returns, liquidity and income characteristics independent of the fund’s actual holdings.

master limited partnerships financial

"The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its Managed Assets in securities of energy master limited partnerships ("MLPs")"

Master limited partnerships are businesses that combine the tax advantages of a partnership with shares that trade on public markets, letting everyday investors buy units and collect regular cash distributions. They often operate in industries with steady, fee-like revenue (for example pipelines), so they can act like owning a rental that pays you income; investors care because MLPs are mainly used for predictable cash returns but can be sensitive to commodity prices and interest rates.

publicly traded partnerships financial

"energy master limited partnerships ("MLPs") that qualify as publicly traded partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code."

A publicly traded partnership is a business structured as a partnership whose ownership interests (units) are bought and sold on public exchanges like a stock. For investors, it combines the liquidity of a public security with partnership-style income distribution—often paying a steady share of profits—but can bring different tax paperwork and treatment compared with ordinary stocks, so buyers should consider yield, cash-flow stability, and tax implications as they would with a dividend-paying company.

Form 1099-DIV regulatory

"final tax characterization of distributions may differ... and will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV."

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release contains certain statements that may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

net assets financial

"at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity and debt securities"

Net assets represent the total value of what an organization owns minus what it owes. Think of it like a person’s belongings after paying off any debts—what remains is their net worth. For investors, net assets indicate the overall financial strength of a company or fund, showing how much value is available to shareholders.

DALLAS, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: NXG) (the "Fund") declared monthly distributions of $0.60 per common share for each of June, July, and August 2026. These distributions reflect an 11.1% increase over the previous distributions of $0.54 per month. These monthly distributions will be payable to common shareholders pursuant to the table below:

Record Date	Ex-Dividend Date	Payment Date	Distribution Amount	Return of Capital Estimate1
6/15/2026	6/15/2026	6/30/2026	$0.60	100 %
7/15/2026	7/15/2026	7/31/2026	$0.60	100 %
8/17/2026	8/17/2026	8/31/2026	$0.60	100 %

¹ The return of capital estimate is based on the Fund's current anticipated earnings and profits for the fiscal year and does not include the impact of future gains or losses that may be realized from portfolio transactions during the remainder of the year. These gains or losses can have a material impact on the characterization of fund distributions. Based on information currently available, it is anticipated, but not certain, that approximately 100% of the Fund's distributions will be characterized as return of capital. Because the Fund's earnings and profits for the fiscal year will depend in part on gains and losses realized throughout the remainder of the year, the final tax characterization of distributions may differ materially from this preliminary estimate. In particular, distributions currently estimated to be return of capital may ultimately be recharacterized, in whole or in part, as capital gain distributions or ordinary income distributions. The final determination of the tax status of all distributions paid during the calendar year will be made after year-end based on the Fund's actual earnings and profits and will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. Shareholders should not rely on this preliminary information for tax reporting purposes.

The distribution shall be paid on the payment date unless the payment of such distribution is deferred by the Fund's Board of Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to comply with applicable law or to ensure that the Fund remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue as a going concern.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company with an investment objective of seeking a high total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies, including: (i) energy infrastructure companies, (ii) industrial infrastructure companies, (iii) sustainable infrastructure companies, and (iv) technology and communication infrastructure companies. The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its Managed Assets in securities of energy master limited partnerships ("MLPs") that qualify as publicly traded partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund's shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NXG."

There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. Investments in the Fund involve operating expenses and fees. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that closed-end funds trade on their market value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Future distributions will be made by the Fund if and when declared by the Fund's Board of Trustees, based on a consideration of a number of factors, including the Fund's continued compliance with terms and financial covenants of its leverage financing facility, the Fund's net investment income, financial performance, and available cash.

There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of distributions in the future.
