NexPoint Real Estate Finance (NREF) adds $375M loan, swaps to cut interest cost

NexPoint Real Estate Finance (NREF) secured a new $375 million senior secured term loan, with an initial draw of $310 million, to repay $185.2 million of its existing 5.75% senior unsecured notes, thereby extending its debt maturity profile. Concurrently, NREF entered into a Total Return Swap (TRS) to reduce its net interest cost on the drawn amount. This strategic move refines its credit and capital structure by replacing near-term maturities with longer-term secured debt at a lower effective interest rate.
