Recent Company History

This announcement continues NXG’s pattern of emphasizing monthly distributions of $0.54 per share, consistent with prior notices in September–November 2025 and adjustments around the August 2025 record date. Earlier in July–August 2025, the Fund conducted a rights offering that was oversubscribed and priced at a discount to NAV, leading to modest negative price reactions. Together, these events depict a fund focused on income continuity while periodically raising capital through shareholder rights.

Market Pulse Summary

This announcement reaffirmed monthly distributions of $0.54 per share and clarified that the December payout is currently estimated as 0% return of capital, while January is estimated at 100%. The Fund continues to target at least 80% of net assets in infrastructure-related securities with limits on energy MLP exposure. Investors may focus on future rights offerings, distribution coverage, and any changes in the tax character once final earnings and profits are determined.

Key Terms

return of capital financial

"The January 2026 distribution will be treated as a 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund is a 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.
