UDF IV Raises Concerns About Integrity of NexPoint Leadership

Recent Ruling Against James Dondero, NexPoint’s Founder, Affirms Ruling that Dondero Defaulted on Promissory Notes

Board of Trustees Urges Shareholders Vote FOR Its Highly Qualified Trustee Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card

IRVING, Texas, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Development Funding IV (“UDF IV” or the “Trust”) mailed a letter to shareholders raising concerns about the motives of James Dondero, the founder of NexPoint Real Estate Opportunities, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NXDT), and its affiliates (collectively, “NexPoint”) and his affiliates in seeking to take control of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Shareholders are encouraged to read the full letter highlighting the recent ruling against Dondero and his affiliates, which builds on a long history of rulings by a variety of courts, arbitration panels, and administrative tribunals that have found Dondero and his affiliates to have breached their fiduciary duties to investors, engaged in intentional fraudulent transfers of assets, willful misconduct, and self-dealing.

The letter to shareholders and other important information regarding the Trust’s ongoing commitment to value creation and long history of cash distributions, including UDF IV’s proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, can be found at UDFforShareholders.com. The Trust urges shareholders to support the Board that is working to enhance the value of their investment by voting on the WHITE proxy card “FOR” the Board’s nominees - Steven J. Finkle, Lawrence S. Jones, J. Heath Malone and Phillip K. Marshall. UDF IV shareholders should discard any green or other color proxy card sent by NexPoint.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with respect to voting your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor:
