Thursday, February 8, 2024

DALLAS, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Advisors, L.P., (together with its affiliates "NexPoint"), a Dallas-based alternative investment firm, today commented on recent corporate bylaw amendments enacted by United Development Funding IV ("UDF IV" or the "Company"), a real estate investment trust in which NexPoint is a significant shareholder, and on ongoing litigation between the parties. The changes to UDF IV's bylaws include the removal of indefensible restrictions that the Board of Trustees previously enacted, which limited the ability of shareholders to propose nominees to the Board.

Key Points: 
  • The latest example of shareholder mistreatment arises from the 2018 SEC settlement with certain executives of UDF IV's external advisor, including Hollis Greenlaw.
  • The amount was to be deposited into a "Fair Fund" and distributed to investors who owned shares between 2011-2015.
  • The eligible shareholders who recently received their Fair Fund distributions mistakenly believe these funds were disgorged by the advisor's executives.
  • NexPoint continues to seek recovery of these and other improper indemnification payments through litigation in Texas.

SEC Charges Creator of Stoner Cats Web Series for Unregistered Offering of NFTs

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, September 13, 2023

“Regardless of whether your offering involves beavers, chinchillas or animal-based NFTs, under the federal securities laws, it’s the economic reality of the offering – not the labels you put on it or the underlying objects – that guides the determination of what’s an investment contract and therefore a security,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Here, the SEC’s order finds that Stoner Cats marketed its knowledge of crypto projects, touted that the price of their NFTs could increase and took other steps that led investors to believe they would profit from selling the NFTs in the secondary market. It’s therefore hardly surprising, as the order finds, that Stoner Cats sold its entire supply of NFTs in just 35 minutes, generating proceeds of over $8 million, most of which were then resold – not held as collectibles -- in the secondary market within months.”

Key Points: 
  • Washington, D.C.--(Newsfile Corp. - September 13, 2023) - The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Stoner Cats 2 LLC (SC2) with conducting an unregistered offering of crypto asset securities in the form of purported non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that raised approximately $8 million from investors to finance an animated web series called Stoner Cats.
  • According to the SEC order, on July 27, 2021, SC2 offered and sold to investors more than 10,000 NFTs for approximately $800 each, selling out in 35 minutes.
  • The order finds that both before and after Stoner Cats NFTs were sold to the public, SC2’s marketing campaign highlighted specific benefits of owning them, including the option for owners to resell their NFTs on the secondary market.
  • According to the SEC’s order, SC2 violated the Securities Act of 1933 by offering and selling these crypto asset securities to the public in an unregistered offering that was not exempt from registration.
