NexPoint cautions United Development Funding IV (UDF IV) shareholders against being misled by the company's recent attempts to distract from the current Board's failures. UDF IV issued a letter to shareholders raising concerns about NexPoint's leadership, which NexPoint claims contains false statements and rehashes previous attacks. NexPoint argues that UDF IV is trying to divert attention from the Board's mismanagement, which has resulted in significant value and liquidity loss.

NexPoint highlights that UDF IV's current Board of Trustees oversaw years of fraud by former executives, who were convicted and are serving prison sentences. The Board also authorized using shareholder funds to defend these executives legally. NexPoint, with $14.5 billion in real estate assets under management, is nominating four independent Trustee candidates to replace the current Board, aiming to enforce loan agreements, pursue defaulting borrowers, manage expenses, and maximize asset value for shareholders.

NexPoint mette in guardia gli azionisti di United Development Funding IV (UDF IV) contro i recenti tentativi dell'azienda di distogliere l'attenzione dai fallimenti dell'attuale Consiglio. UDF IV ha inviato una lettera agli azionisti sollevando preoccupazioni sulla leadership di NexPoint, la quale, secondo NexPoint, contiene dichiarazioni false e ripropone attacchi precedenti. NexPoint sostiene che UDF IV stia cercando di distogliere l'attenzione dalla cattiva gestione del Consiglio, che ha portato a una significativa perdita di valore e liquidit脿.

NexPoint sottolinea che l'attuale Consiglio di Amministrazione di UDF IV ha supervisionato anni di frodi da parte di ex dirigenti, che sono stati condannati e stanno scontando pene detentive. Il Consiglio ha anche autorizzato l'uso dei fondi degli azionisti per difendere legalmente questi dirigenti. NexPoint, con 14,5 miliardi di dollari in beni immobiliari sotto gestione, sta nominando quattro candidati Trustee indipendenti per sostituire l'attuale Consiglio, con l'obiettivo di far rispettare gli accordi di prestito, perseguire i mutuatari inadempienti, gestire le spese e massimizzare il valore degli asset per gli azionisti.

NexPoint advierte a los accionistas de United Development Funding IV (UDF IV) sobre los recientes intentos de la empresa para distraer la atenci贸n de los fracasos de la actual Junta. UDF IV envi贸 una carta a los accionistas expresando preocupaciones sobre el liderazgo de NexPoint, que NexPoint afirma contiene declaraciones falsas y reitera ataques anteriores. NexPoint argumenta que UDF IV est谩 tratando de desviar la atenci贸n de la mala gesti贸n de la Junta, que ha resultado en una significativa p茅rdida de valor y liquidez.

NexPoint destaca que la actual Junta de Fideicomisarios de UDF IV supervis贸 a帽os de fraude por parte de exejecutivos, quienes fueron condenados y est谩n cumpliendo penas de prisi贸n. La Junta tambi茅n autoriz贸 el uso de fondos de los accionistas para defender legalmente a estos ejecutivos. NexPoint, con $14.5 mil millones en activos inmobiliarios bajo gesti贸n, est谩 nominando a cuatro candidatos independientes al Fideicomisario para reemplazar a la actual Junta, con el objetivo de hacer cumplir los acuerdos de pr茅stamo, perseguir a los prestatarios incumplidores, gestionar gastos y maximizar el valor de los activos para los accionistas.

NexPoint, das 14,5 Milliarden Dollar an Immobilienverm枚gen verwaltet, nominiert vier unabh盲ngige Treuh盲nder, um den aktuellen Vorstand zu ersetzen, mit dem Ziel, Darlehensvereinbarungen durchzusetzen, bei s盲umigen Kreditnehmern vorzugehen, Kosten zu verwalten und den Verm枚genswert f眉r die Aktion盲re zu maximieren.

NexPoint Cautions Shareholders Not to Let UDF IV's Attacks Divert from Real Issues

DALLAS, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Development Funding IV ("UDF IV" or the "Company") recently issued a letter to shareholders "raising concerns about the integrity of NexPoint leadership." The letter, which rehashes themes used in previous attacks and include several false claims about NexPoint, are the latest attempt by UDF IV to distract shareholders from both the failures of the current Board of Trustees and the severe mismanagement of the Company that has resulted in a massive loss of value and liquidity. (NexPoint's responses to UDF IV's previous attempts to mislead shareholders can be found .)

The Company has failed to develop, communicate, or execute a plan to turn around operations, enhance shareholder value, and create liquidity. Despite having had at least six years since the Company's 2018 settlement with the SEC, during which this Board of Trustees and the management team have had exclusive control, the Company has yet to articulate any viable proposal to recover value for shareholders, beyond touting a "long history of cash distributions" that are 100% return of capital and thus only further eroding value.

Shareholders should not be fooled by the Company's misleading claims about NexPoint and should equip themselves with the facts about the current Board and NexPoint's intentions:

Facts about UDF IV's current Board of Trustees:

  • Members of the current Board of Trustees presided over years of fraud committed by former UDF IV executives against shareholders.
  • Those former executives were convicted on numerous counts of fraud and are serving combined prison sentences of 20+ years, and their convictions were upheld by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
  • The current Board of Trustees authorized the use of tens of millions of dollars of shareholder funds to pay for the legal defense of the former executives and have made no attempt to recoup those funds on behalf of shareholders鈥攅ven after the conclusive U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Facts about NexPoint's intentions:

  • NexPoint has over $14.5 billion in real estate assets under management (as of June 30, 2024) across numerous asset classes in both public1 and private REITs and private funds with a proven track record over the past 15 years of producing positive investment returns.
  • As one of the largest shareholders, NexPoint is completely aligned with fellow shareholders.
  • NexPoint is nominating four Trustee candidates to replace the current Board. The candidates would serve as Independent Trustees with fiduciary duties to represent the interests of ALL shareholders鈥攏ot just NexPoint's.
  • The nominees are independent and have relevant experience and track records of acting for the benefit of shareholders and creating corporate value.
  • If elected, the nominees would cause UDF IV to aggressively enforce its loan agreements, pursue remedies against defaulting borrowers, manage its expenses, and realize the fullest value possible for its assets.

NexPoint urges shareholders to vote using the GREEN proxy card FOR its nominees:聽Paul S. Broaddus,聽Edward N. Constantino,聽John A. Good, and聽Julie Silcock. Voting information and additional shareholder resources can be found at .
