Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund reports shareholder actions and an ownership change at its investment adviser, Cushing Asset Management, LP. At the June 18, 2026 Annual Meeting, adjourned to July 10, 2026, shareholders elected Ms. Andrea N. Mullins and Mr. John H. Alban as Class II Trustees to serve until the 2028 annual meeting or until successors are elected and qualified. Shareholders also approved a new investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, effective upon a change of control transaction.

On July 10, 2026, NXG Cushing, LLC, owned by certain senior employees of the Adviser, acquired an interest that brought its aggregate ownership in the Adviser to 62% and replaced Swank Capital, LLC as general partner, constituting a change of control and assignment of the prior advisory agreement, which therefore terminated. The Fund and the Adviser simultaneously entered into the new advisory agreement. The services and advisory fee structure remain the same: the Adviser receives an annual fee of 1.25% of Average Weekly Managed Assets, payable quarterly in arrears, with an existing 0.25% fee waiver on Managed Assets continuing through February 1, 2027. The agreement has a one-year initial term and is subject to annual renewal and standard termination and assignment provisions.

Insights

Adviser control shifts to employees, but fees and services stay unchanged.

The key development is that NXG Cushing, LLC, owned by senior employees, now holds 62% of Cushing Asset Management, LP and serves as its general partner. This change of control automatically ended the prior advisory contract, so shareholders pre-approved a new agreement to avoid disruption in portfolio management.

The new advisory agreement keeps the same services and fee rate of 1.25% of Average Weekly Managed Assets, with a contractual fee waiver of 0.25% of Managed Assets continuing through February 1, 2027. Governance safeguards remain via annual approval requirements by the Board and independent Trustees and standard 60-day termination rights, helping maintain oversight despite the ownership change at the Adviser.

change of control regulatory
"The closing of the Transaction caused a change of control of the Adviser"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.
assignment regulatory
"a change of control of the Adviser and, consequently, an “assignment” of the prior investment advisory agreement"
Average Weekly Managed Assets financial
"an investment-advisory fee... at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s Average Weekly Managed Assets"
Managed Assets financial
"“Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, minus all accrued expenses incurred"
Managed assets are the financial investments—such as stocks, bonds, cash, or real estate—that a professional firm or advisor oversees and makes decisions about on behalf of clients. They matter to investors because the amount and performance of these assets influence a manager’s revenue, reputation, and the client’s potential returns, much like the size and health of a garden reflect a gardener’s skill and likely harvest.
interested persons regulatory
"by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund or the Adviser"

Item 8.01Other Events

 

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE:NXG) (the “Fund”) was held on June 18, 2026 and adjourned to July 10, 2026.

 

At the Annual Meeting, each of the nominees for election to serve as Class II Trustees of the Fund, Ms. Andrea N. Mullins and Mr. John H. Alban, was elected to hold office until the Fund’s 2028 annual meeting or until his or her successor is elected and duly qualified.

 

In addition, shareholders approved a new investment advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Cushing® Asset Management, LP (the “Adviser”).

 

On July 10, 2026, NXG Cushing, LLC (“NXG Cushing”), a Texas limited liability company owned by certain senior employees of the Adviser, acquired from Jerry V. Swank, the founder of the Adviser, an interest in the Adviser that resulted in NXG Cushing owning an aggregate interest in the Adviser of 62%. Upon completing such acquisition, pursuant to an Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Adviser, NXG Cushing replaced Swank Capital, LLC, an entity wholly owned by Mr. Swank, as the general partner of the Adviser (the acquisition and change in general partner are referred to herein as the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction caused a change of control of the Adviser and, consequently, an “assignment” of the prior investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, which resulted in the termination of the prior investment advisory agreement according to its terms.

 

Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Fund and the Adviser entered into the New Advisory Agreement. There are no material differences between the terms of the New Advisory Agreement and the terms of the Fund’s prior investment advisory agreement. Under the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is retained to provide investment advisory services with respect to the Fund’s investment portfolio. The services to be provided by the Adviser include certain of the day-to-day operations of the Fund subject to the direction and control of the Board. Such services include (i) managing the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment policies, (ii) arranging for the purchase and sale of securities and other assets, (iii) providing investment research and analysis concerning the Fund’s assets, (iv) placing orders for purchases and sales of the Fund’s assets, (v) maintaining books and records required to support the Fund’s investment operations, (vi) monitoring on a daily basis the investment activities and portfolio holdings of the Fund and (vii) voting proxies relating to the Fund’s portfolio securities in accordance with the Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures. The services provided by the Adviser pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the services provided pursuant to the Fund’s prior investment advisory agreement.

 

Likewise, the New Advisory Agreement does not result in any change in the Fund’s advisory fee rate. Pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will receive, as full compensation for all services rendered by the Adviser to the Fund as such, an investment-advisory fee, payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s Average Weekly Managed Assets. “Average Weekly Managed Assets” with respect to a particular month means the average of the values of each weekly calculation of the Managed Assets of the Fund that takes place as of any date during that month. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations other than liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage, including, without limitation, investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities and/or (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

 

In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee in the amount equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s Managed Assets through February 1, 2027, which waivers will continue in effect under the New Advisory Agreement until the expiration date of the waivers.

 

The New Advisory Agreement shall continue in effect for an initial term of one year. Thereafter, the New Advisory Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year if approved annually (i) by the Board or the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund or the Adviser, by vote cast in-person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The New Advisory Agreement may be terminated (i) by the Fund or the Adviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon giving the other party 60 days’ written notice, or (ii) by the Adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund. The New Advisory Agreement will also immediately terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act. These provisions of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to provisions of the Fund’s prior investment advisory agreement.

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the New Advisory Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Advisory Agreement filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
