Insights

Income-focused closed-end fund analyst

Monthly distributions declared; January 2026 distribution preliminarily estimated largely as a return of capital.

The Fund declared monthly distributions of $0.54 per share for December 2025 and January 2026

The December payment lists a 0% return of capital estimate, while the January payment is currently estimated to be 100% return of capital; the final tax characterization will be determined after year‑end and may differ substantially from this preliminary view. The Fund notes distributions depend on its earnings and profits, cash, and compliance with financing covenants.

Practically, a distribution labeled largely as a return of capital reduces taxable income today but decreases the shareholder’s tax basis and may signal that current income does not fully cover the payout; monitor the Fund’s year‑end earnings and profits disclosure in early 2026 and the final reporting for the 2025 distributions in early 2026 and 2027 for 2026. Also watch any Board communications about deferral or changes tied to the Fund’s leverage covenants within the next quarter.

DALLAS, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: NXG) (the "Fund") declared monthly distributions of $0.54 per common share for each of December 2025, and January 2026. 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
12/15/2025	12/15/2025	12/31/2025	$0.54	0 %
1/16/2026	1/16/2026	1/30/2026	$0.54	100 %

¹The return of capital estimate is based on the Fund's current anticipated earnings and profits for the fiscal year and does not include a projection of gains and losses on the sale of securities which may occur during the remainder of the year. It is currently anticipated, but not certain, that approximately 100% of the Fund's distributions will be treated as a return of capital for the January 2026 distribution. The final determination of such amounts will be made and reported to shareholders in early 2026 for the 2025 distributions and 2027 for the 2026 distributions, after the end of the calendar year when the Fund determines its earnings and profits for the year. The final tax status of each distribution may differ substantially from this preliminary information.

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.

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.
