The board of NexPoint Capital Inc., a publicly registered non-traded business development company (BDC) focusing on healthcare, approved the suspension of the company’s monthly distribution. The suspension is for both cash distributions and those offered through NexPoint’s distribution reinvestment plan.
According to news reports, NexPoint Capital said the decision was made “to provide additional financial flexibility…and to maintain a conservative distribution policy during recent volatile market conditions.”
The board also approved a net asset value per share of $5.69, effective June 3, 2020, for the company’s common stock. The previous NAV per share was $5.25, which was effective April 29, 2020. NexPoint Capital investors originally purchased this investment at or around $10.00 per share. This represents a substantial loss to the individual investors. These products may have been misrepresented by the brokers or financial advisors to their clients, particularly those who have a low risk or retirement portfolio, as safe, secure, income-based investments which will pay distributions. When in fact, they are high-commissioned investments which can be risky and could cause retirees to lose their irreplaceable retirement funds.
By suspending the monthly distributions to the shareholders, NexPoint Capital shocked their investors who originally purchased the shares for the distributions. The distributions were one of the top selling points for the investment recommended by brokers/dealers.
