Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 7, 2026, NexPoint Real Estate Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), the operating partnership of NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company”), as administrative agent, sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner and lender, entered into a secured $20.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with VineBrook Homes Operating Partnership, L.P., as borrower (the “Borrower”), the operating partnership of VineBrook Homes Trust, Inc., an entity that is managed by an affiliate of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors VII, L.P., our external manager.
The Credit Agreement bears interest at 9.75% per annum and is secured by properties that subsidiaries of the Borrower acquire with the proceeds of the loan. The Credit Agreement matures on May 7, 2028, subject to two one-year extension options at the election of the Borrower, subject to customary conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.50% of the aggregate revolving commitment. The Credit Agreement includes an origination fee at a rate of 1.00% of each advance, funded from the loan proceeds. The Borrower may request, subject to the approval of the OP, to increase the revolving commitment up to $30.0 million. Amounts owed under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for an agreement of this type, including covenants setting a maximum debt to capital ratio, a minimum net asset value and a minimum net operating income level. If an event of default occurs, and is not cured after customary notice and cure periods, the OP may require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
