[Form 4/A] NEXPOINT DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE TRUST Amended Insider Trading Activity
Matt McGraner, Executive VP and Chief Investment Officer of NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NXDT), was granted 57,323.76 LTIP Units on 04/17/2025. Of the total award, 50,157 LTIP Units vested immediately as of the grant date and 7,166.76 LTIP Units remain subject to future vesting on December 13, 2025. Each LTIP Unit may be redeemed for cash or common shares at the issuer's option and is subject to adjustment for corporate events. The grant arose under an Agreement and Plan of Merger tied to the closing of NHT Hospitality, Inc.'s merger, with an exchange rate derived from $0.36 divided by the ten-day VWAP of $3.7228. This filing is an amendment to correct the number of LTIP Units that vested immediately.
- Immediate vesting of 50,157 LTIP Units provides near-term alignment between the reporting person and shareholders
- Total grant of 57,323.76 LTIP Units is a meaningful equity award tied to the merger consideration
- Remaining units vest on a defined date (December 13, 2025) and do not expire, supporting retention
- Amendment was required to correct the originally reported vested unit count, indicating an earlier reporting error
Insights
TL;DR: Significant equity grant with immediate vesting aligns executive pay to merger outcomes.
This award of 57,323.76 LTIP Units, of which 50,157 vested immediately, represents a material equity-based payment tied to the merger consideration. Immediate vesting increases the reporting person’s current economic exposure to NXDT common shares because LTIP Units are redeemable for cash or shares at the issuer's option. The remaining 7,166.76 units vest on a known future date (December 13, 2025) and have no expiration, which preserves retention value. The grant’s conversion formula references a $0.36 numerator over a 10-day VWAP of $3.7228, linking unit counts to market price at merger close.
TL;DR: Amendment corrects reporting but does not change the substance of the grant.
The filing is an amendment to accurately state vested units, indicating administrative correction rather than a change in economic terms. The form clarifies vesting mechanics and settlement windows (generally within 10 days of vesting and possibly settled in cash). The signature by an attorney-in-fact and the explicit explanation of conversion and adjustment provisions are consistent with required Section 16 disclosure practices.
