DALLAS, Oct. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of trustees (the
"Board") of NXG Cushing® Midstream Energy Fund (NYSE:
SRV) (the "Fund") has approved the terms of the issuance of
transferable rights ("Rights") to the holders of the Fund's common
shares (the "Common Shareholders") of beneficial interest, par
value $0.001 per share ("Common
Shares"), as of the record date, entitling the holders of those
Rights to subscribe for Common Shares (the "Offer"). The Board,
based on the recommendations and presentations of the Fund's
investment adviser, Cushing® Asset Management, LP,
doing business as NXG Investment Management (the "Investment
Adviser"), and others, has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Fund and the Common Shareholders to conduct the
Offer and thereby to increase the assets of the Fund available for
investment. In making this determination, the Board considered a
number of factors, including potential benefits and costs. In
particular, the Board considered the Investment Adviser's belief
that the Offer would enable the Fund to take advantage of existing
and future investment opportunities that may be or may become
available, consistent with the Fund's investment objective to
obtain a high after-tax total return from a combination of capital
appreciation and current income. The Offer also seeks to provide an
opportunity to existing Common Shareholders to purchase Common
Shares at a discount to market price (subject to a sales load).
The record date for the Offer is currently expected to be
October 23, 2024 (the "Record Date").
The Fund will distribute to Common Shareholders on the Record Date
("Record Date Common Shareholders") one Right for each Common Share
held on the Record Date. Common Shareholders will be entitled to
purchase one new Common Share for every three Rights held (1 for
3); however, any Record Date Common Shareholder who owns fewer than
three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be entitled to
subscribe for one Common Share. Fractional Common Shares will not
be issued.
The proposed subscription period will commence on the Record
Date and is currently anticipated to expire on November 14, 2024, unless extended by the Fund
(the "Expiration Date"). Rights may be exercised at any time during
the subscription period. The Rights are transferable and are
expected to be admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange
LLC (the "NYSE") under the symbol "SRV RT" during the course of the
Offer.
The subscription price per Common Share (the "Subscription
Price") will be determined on the Expiration Date and will be equal
to 92.5% of the average of the last reported sales price of a
Common Share of the Fund on the NYSE on the Expiration Date and
each of the four (4) immediately preceding trading days (the
"Formula Price"). If, however, the Formula Price is less than 89%
of the Fund's net asset value per Common Share at the close of
trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date, the Subscription Price
will be 89% of the Fund's net asset value per Common Share at the
close of trading on the NYSE on that day. The estimated
Subscription Price has not yet been determined by the Fund.
Record Date Common Shareholders who exercise all of their
primary subscription Rights will be eligible for an
over-subscription privilege entitling Record Date Common
Shareholders to subscribe, subject to certain limitations and
allotment, for any additional Common Shares not purchased pursuant
to the primary subscription.
The Offer will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement
and accompanying prospectus. The Fund expects to mail subscription
certificates evidencing the Rights and a copy of the prospectus
supplement and accompanying prospectus for the Offer to Record Date
Common Shareholders within the United
States shortly following the Record Date. To exercise their
Rights, Common Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a
broker, custodian or trust company should contact such entity to
forward their instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights
on their behalf. Common Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares
through a broker, custodian, or trust company should forward their
instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights by completing
the subscription certificate and delivering it to the subscription
agent for the Offer, together with their payment, at one of the
locations indicated on the subscription certificate or in the
prospectus supplement.
The Fund will pay expenses associated with the Offer which will
be borne indirectly by the Fund's Common Shareholders.
The Fund reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the
Offer.
November Distribution Record Date Change
The Fund has previously declared a monthly distribution of
$0.45 per Common Share payable on
November 29, 2024, to Common
Shareholders of record as of November 15,
2024. The Board has changed the record date for such
November distribution to November 4,
2024. Accordingly, the monthly distribution of $0.45 per Common Share for November 2024 will be payable to Common
Shareholders pursuant to the table below.

- Return of capital is the return of a portion of the
shareholder's original investment. The return of capital estimate
is based on the Fund's current anticipated earnings and profits for
the fiscal year and does not include a projection of gains and
losses on the sale of securities which may occur during the
remainder of the year. A return of capital distribution does not
necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should
not be confused with "yield" or "income." Therefore, investors
should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment
performance from the amount of any distribution. The final
determination of the source of the Fund's distributions will be
made and reported to shareholders in early 2025, after the end of
the calendar year when the Fund determines its earnings and profits
for the year. The final tax status of each distribution may differ
substantially from this preliminary information.
The distribution shall be paid on the payment date unless the
payment of such distribution is deferred by the Fund's Board of
Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in
order to comply with applicable law or to ensure that the Fund
remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and
continue as a going concern.
The November monthly distribution will not be payable with
respect to Common Shares that are issued pursuant to the Offer
after November 4, 2024.
In addition, the Fund has previously declared a regular monthly
distribution to Common Shareholders in an amount of $0.45 per share payable on October 31, 2024, with a record date of
October 15, 2024, which will not be
payable with respect to Common Shares that are issued pursuant to
the Offer.

change. A registration statement relating to these securities has
been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. The
securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted,
prior to the time the registration statement becomes

This document is not an offer to sell any securities and is

offering, which can only be made by a prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus, once the registration statement has become
