DALLAS,
June 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of trustees (the
"Board") of NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: NXG) (the
"Fund") has approved the terms of the issuance of transferable
rights ("Rights") to the holders of the Fund's common shares (the
"Common Shareholders") of beneficial interest, par value
$0.001 per share ("Common Shares"),
as of the record date, entitling the holders of those Rights to
subscribe for Common Shares (the "Offer"). The Board, based on the
recommendations and presentations of the Fund's investment adviser,
Cushing® Asset
Management, LP, doing business as NXG Investment Management (the
"Investment Adviser"), and others, has determined that it is in the
best interests of the Fund and the Common Shareholders to conduct
the Offer and thereby to increase the assets of the Fund available
for investment. In making this determination, the Board considered
a number of factors, including potential benefits and costs. In
particular, the Board considered the Investment Adviser's belief
that the Offer would enable the Fund to take advantage of existing
and future investment opportunities that may be or may become
available, consistent with the Fund's investment objective to seek
high total return with an emphasis on current income. The Offer
also seeks to provide an opportunity to existing Common
Shareholders to purchase Common Shares at a discount to market
price (subject to a sales load).
The record date for the Offer is currently
expected to be June 20, 2024 (the
"Record Date"). The Fund will distribute to Common Shareholders on
the Record Date ("Record Date Common Shareholders") one Right for
each Common Share held on the Record Date. Common Shareholders will
be entitled to purchase one new Common Share for every three Rights
held (1 for 3); however, any Record Date Common Shareholder who
owns fewer than three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be
entitled to subscribe for one Common Share. Fractional Common
Shares will not be issued.
The proposed subscription period will commence on
the Record Date and is currently anticipated to expire on
July 17, 2024, unless extended by the
Fund (the "Expiration Date"). Rights may be exercised at any time
during the subscription period. The Rights are transferable and are
expected to be admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange
LLC (the "NYSE") under the symbol "NXG RT" during the course of the
Offer.
The subscription price per Common Share (the
"Subscription Price") will be determined on the Expiration Date,
and will be equal to 92.5% of the average of the last reported
sales price of a Common Share of the Fund on the NYSE on the
Expiration Date and each of the four (4) immediately preceding
trading days (the "Formula Price"). If, however, the Formula Price
is less than 92.5% of the Fund's net asset value per Common Share
at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date, the
Subscription Price will be 86% of the Fund's net asset value per
Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on that day. The
estimated Subscription Price has not yet been determined by the
Fund.
Record Date Common Shareholders who exercise all
of their primary subscription Rights will be eligible for an
over-subscription privilege entitling Record Date Common
Shareholders to subscribe, subject to certain limitations and
allotment, for any additional Common Shares not purchased pursuant
to the primary subscription.
The Offer will be made only by means of a
prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The Fund expects
to mail subscription certificates evidencing the Rights and a copy
of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus for the
Offer to Record Date Common Shareholders within the United States shortly following the Record
Date. To exercise their Rights, Common Shareholders who hold their
Common Shares through a broker, custodian or trust company should
contact such entity to forward their instructions to either
exercise or sell their Rights on their behalf. Common Shareholders
who do not hold Common Shares through a broker, custodian, or trust
company should forward their instructions to either exercise or
sell their Rights by completing the subscription certificate and
delivering it to the subscription agent for the Offer, together
with their payment, at one of the locations indicated on the
subscription certificate or in the prospectus supplement.
The Fund will pay expenses associated with the
Offer which will be borne indirectly by the Fund's Common
Shareholders.
The Fund reserves the right to modify, postpone
or cancel the Offer.
July Distribution Record Date Change. The
Fund has previously declared a monthly distribution of $0.54 per common share payable on July 31, 2024, to Common Shareholders of record
as of July 16, 2024. The Board has
changed the record date for such July distribution to July 8, 2024. Accordingly, the monthly
distributions of $0.54 per common
share for each of July 2024 will be
payable to common shareholders pursuant to the table below:

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 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. The final
determination of such amounts will be made and reported to
shareholders in 2025, 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.
The July distribution will not be payable with
respect to Common Shares that are issued pursuant to the Offer
after July 8, 2024.
