Key Terms

5 terms

return of capital financial

"it is anticipated, but not certain, that 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.

record date financial

"Record Date | Ex-Dividend Date | Payment Date | Distribution Amount"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

ex-dividend date financial

"Record Date | Ex-Dividend Date | Payment Date | Distribution Amount"

The ex-dividend date is the date when a stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment included. If you buy the stock on or after this date, you won't receive that upcoming dividend; only those who owned the stock before this date are entitled to it. It matters to investors because it determines who is eligible to receive the dividend and can influence the stock’s price around that time.

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.

DALLAS, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NXG Cushing® Midstream Energy Fund (NYSE: SRV) (the "Fund") declared monthly distributions of $0.50 per common share for each of June, July, and August 2026. These distributions reflect an 11.1% increase over the previous distributions of $0.45 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	$0.50	100 %
7/15/2026	7/15/2026	7/31/2026	$0.50	100 %
8/17/2026	8/17/2026	8/31/2026	$0.50	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 after-tax total return from a combination of capital appreciation and 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 midstream energy investments. The Fund considers midstream energy investments to be investments that offer economic exposure to securities of midstream energy companies, which are companies that engage in providing midstream services in the energy infrastructure sector, including the gathering, transporting, processing, fractionation, storing, refining and distribution of natural resources, such as natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil refined petroleum products, biofuels, carbon sequestration, solar, and wind.  The Fund considers a company to be a midstream energy company if at least 50% of its assets, income, sales or profits are committed to, derived from or otherwise related to midstream energy services. The Fund's shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRV."

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.
