On January 16, 2026, NexPoint Real Estate Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), the operating partnership of NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company”), loaned $16.7 million to NexPoint Storage Partners Operating Company, LLC (“NSP OC”), a subsidiary of NexPoint Storage Partners, Inc. (“NSP”). In connection with the loan, NSP OC issued a promissory note (the “NSP Note”) pursuant to which NSP OC may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $40 million, with $16.7 million outstanding as of January 16, 2026. The NSP Note bears interest at 14% per annum, which is payable in kind, is interest only during the term of the NSP Note and matures on January 16, 2031.

 

Borrowings under the NSP Note are secured by a first priority lien on certain income streams and the related deposit accounts of NSP OC and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of NexPoint Advisors, L.P. (“NexPoint”), the parent of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors VII, L.P. (the “Manager”), the Company’s external manager, including (i) cash received as base rent under identified master leases, (ii) cash received as asset management fees under identified asset management agreements, (iii) cash received as disposition fees under identified trust agreements, and (iv) related deposit accounts. The NSP Note is subordinated in right and time of payment to NSP’s outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), which is mandatorily redeemable on December 8, 2028, subject to two one-year extensions at the election of NSP, and no payments or prepayments on the NSP Note other than payment of interest in-kind may be made without the prior written consent of the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock unless the Series D Preferred Stock has been fully redeemed.

 

The Ohio State Life Insurance Company (“OSL”) has agreed to purchase $5 million in principal amount of the NSP Note at par plus accrued interest prior to the end of the second quarter of 2026.

 

As of January 16, 2026, the Company owned approximately 25.4% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of NSP and has guaranteed certain obligations of NSP, which are capped at $97.6 million. As of January 16, 2026, the OP owned approximately 95.4% of NSP’s outstanding 15.0% Cumulative Series G Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share. Accounts advised by NexPoint and its affiliates beneficially own substantially all of the equity securities of NSP. OSL may be deemed an affiliate of the Manager through common beneficial ownership.

 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
