Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on April 29, 2026, NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a loan agreement that provided for senior secured term loans in an amount of up to $375.0 million (the “Facility”) with Mizuho Capital Markets LLC (“Mizuho”), as lender. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by certain investment assets and related collateral (the “Pledged Assets”) pledged by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Facility is full-term, interest only and matures on May 1, 2029, which maturity date can be extended twice, each for a six-month period, at the Company’s option. The Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to the daily compounded secured overnight financing rate, subject to an interest rate floor of 2.0%, plus 4.0% per annum. As of August 17, 2026, there was $412.2 million outstanding under the Facility.

On August 17, 2026, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement and First Amendment to Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the amount the Company could borrow under the Facility was increased to $450.0 million. Pursuant to the Amendment, the mandatory prepayment requirement with respect to repayments of Pledged Assets was amended to require the Company to use (1) 100% of such repayments to prepay the Facility until the amount outstanding under the Facility is less than $384.0 million, then (2) 75% of such subsequent repayments to prepay the Facility until the amount outstanding under the Facility is less than $300.0 million, and then (3) 50% of such subsequent repayments to prepay the Facility until the Facility is fully repaid. Pursuant to the Amendment, certain post-closing covenants were reaffirmed, requiring the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to receive consent from any issuer or borrower of a Pledged Asset that did not provide confirmation that the Pledged Asset may be pledged upon the initial closing of the Facility. The Company also added additional assets as Pledged Assets pursuant to the Amendment.

Concurrent with the Amendment, the Company and Mizuho entered into an amended and restated Confirmation (the “TRS Amendment”) relating to the Total Return Swap (the “TRS”) originally entered into between them on April 29, 2026. Pursuant to the TRS Amendment, the Facility principal referenced by the TRS (the “Reference Obligation Amount”) was increased to $412.2 million, with a maximum Reference Obligation Amount increased to $450.0 million. The transaction has the effect of reducing the Company’s net interest cost associated with the Facility and the Amendment. Pursuant to the TRS Amendment, the Company has transferred approximately $144.3 million of cash collateral to Mizuho. The TRS may be terminated by the Company and/or Mizuho in certain circumstances, including those customary for transactions governed by ISDA Master Agreements. Certain early terminations by the Company may require payment of make-whole to Mizuho. The Company will owe an upfront fee to Mizuho in connection with the TRS Amendment.
