Merger Agreement Considerations
One of the most significant discussions at the meeting revolved around the merger agreement with NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NXDT).

This flexibility underscores the trust's commitment to maximizing value for its unitholders.

With MNP LLP re-appointed as the auditor for NHT, the trust is gearing up for its next steps.
