SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN AND AGREEMENT

UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

This plan constitutes the Shareholder Servicing Plan and Agreement (the “Plan”) for NexPoint Event-Driven Fund (the “Fund”). The Plan relates solely to the Fund, may be amended from time to time, and supersedes and replaces any prior shareholder services plan with respect to the Fund.

WHEREAS, it is desirable to provide the Fund flexibility in meeting the investment and shareholder servicing needs of its investors; and

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to adopt a Shareholder Servicing Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Fund intends to enter into Plan agreements (“Shareholder Services Agreements”) with certain financial institutions, broker-dealers, and other financial intermediaries (“Authorized Service Providers”) pursuant to which the Authorized Service Providers will provide certain administrative support services to the beneficial owners of the Fund’s shares;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Implementation. Any officer of the Fund is authorized to execute and deliver, in the name of the Fund, written Shareholder Services Agreements with Authorized Service Providers that are record owners of Fund shares or that have a servicing relationship with the beneficial owners of shares of the Fund. A form of Shareholder Services Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule A, and variations in the agreement may be used in lieu thereof.

2. Services. Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Agreement, the Authorized Service Provider shall provide to those customers who own Fund shares administrative support services, not primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund, as set forth therein and as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Administrative support services include, but are not limited to: (i) electronic processing of client orders; (ii) electronic fund transfers between clients and the Fund; (iii) account reconciliations with the Fund’s transfer agent; (iv) facilitation of electronic delivery to clients of Fund documentation, including the Fund’s prospectus, Statements of Additional Information, tax notices and annual and semi-annual reports to beneficial owners of Fund shares; (v) monitoring client accounts for back-up withholding and any other special tax reporting obligations; (vi) maintenance of books and records with respect to the foregoing; and (vii) such other information and liaison services as the Fund or NexPoint Advisors, L.P. may reasonably request to the extent the Authorized Service Provider is permitted to do so under applicable statutes, rules, or regulations.

3. Compensation. In consideration for such administrative support services, the Authorized Service Providers will receive a fee, computed daily and paid monthly in the manner set forth in the respective Shareholder Services Agreements, at an annual rate of up to twenty-five basis points (0.25%) of the average daily net assets of each of the Class A and Class C shares of the Fund attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider. All expenses incurred by the Fund in respect of this Plan shall be borne by the holders of the Fund’s shares.

4. Effective Date and Termination. This Plan will be effective with regard to the shares of the Fund only after approval by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”), including a majority of trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”) and

the commencement of the public offering of the shares of the Fund. The Plan may be terminated with respect to the shares of the Fund at any time by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees.

5. Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time by the Board with respect to the Fund, provided that all material amendments to the Plan shall be approved by the Board in the manner provided herein with respect to the initial approval of the Plan.

6. Reporting. While this Plan is in effect, the Board shall be provided with a quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended pursuant to this Plan and the purposes for which the expenditures were made.
