NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. Provides Update on Share Repurchases

DALLAS, March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. ("NXRT" or the "Company") (NYSE: NXRT) previously announced that during the last two quarters, it issued 918,614 shares under the Company's ATM program at an average price of $49.12 per share for gross proceeds of $45.12 million.  Also, the Company announced today it has repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of NXRT at an average price of $27.48 per share since the Company announced its updated share repurchase program on March 13, 2020.  NXRT's repurchases included shares subject to the Highland Capital Management, L.P. ("HCM") bankruptcy proceedings and shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by James Dondero, NXRT's Chairman of the Board and President.  The repurchases also included shares that were sold at the direction of financial counterparties in accounts subject to margin calls amid the recent unprecedented market dislocation.  The Company believes sales of NXRT shares by insiders are now complete and no further dispositions of NXRT shares by insiders are contemplated for the remainder of the year.

Dispositions of the Company's shares have been reported, as applicable, on SEC Form 4 filings.  In addition to the disposition of shares subject to the HCM bankruptcy proceedings, Mr. Dondero's March 31, 2020 Form 4 reports that going forward Mr. Dondero's Section 16 filings will no longer include shares controlled by HCM that were previously deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Dondero.

As previously announced, the Company has sold three properties in 2020, for net proceeds of $43 million, which equates to an estimated blended nominal cap rate of 5.0%. Management believes that the capital allocation decisions made in 2020 have strengthened the Company's financial position by creating permanent value by issuing shares at an approximately 8.0% premium to our NAV as of December 31, 2019, and by repurchasing shares at an approximately 45% discount to where the Company issued shares under the ATM four weeks prior.

The Company's strong liquidity position, which has been bolstered by the sale of three assets at pre-crisis pricing and the issuance of equity near an all-time high share price, gives the Company ample liquidity to fund share repurchases at highly accretive levels and remain prepared to weather the COVID-19 crisis.
