13D

CUSIP NO. 749227609 Page 15 of 19 Pages

(e) On September 25, 2014, Highland Capital entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) resulting in the SEC issuing an order. This order resolves the SEC’s allegations that Highland Capital violated Sections 204(a) and 206(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and Rule 204-2 thereunder by trading securities between its clients’ accounts and accounts in which Highland Capital and its principals maintained an ownership interest without adhering to certain requirements set forth by the Advisers Act. The transactions occurred between 2007 and 2009, and many were executed in an effort to generate or maintain liquidity for the advised accounts during September and October 2008. Specifically, the order found that, during the relevant time period, Highland Capital engaged in a number of transactions with its client advisory accounts without disclosing in writing to those clients that Highland Capital was acting as principal, or obtaining client consent to the transactions, before the trades were completed. Highland Capital did ultimately receive client consent for many of the transactions; however, this consent was received after the transactions had settled, and therefore did not comply with the requirements of Advisers Act Section 206(3). In addition, the order found that, during the relevant time period, Highland Capital failed to keep and maintain true, accurate and current certain books and records as required by the Advisers Act.

The order requires Highland Capital to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Advisers Act Sections 204(a) and 206(3) and Rule 204-2; censures Highland Capital; and requires Highland Capital to pay a civil monetary penalty of $225,000. Highland Capital must also comply with certain undertakings, including retaining an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of Highland Capital’s compliance and control systems relating to principal trades, and the creation and retention of its books and records. As of the date hereof, all of these undertakings have been completed.

(f) Mr. Dondero is a United States citizen. Global Fund and Small-Cap Fund are Massachusetts business trusts. Highland Fund Advisors, NexPoint Advisors, Select GP, and Highland Capital are Delaware limited partnerships. Strand XVI and Strand are Delaware corporations. NRESF is a Delaware statutory trust. NexPoint Advisors GP and Select LLC are Delaware limited liability company. Select Fund is a Bermuda limited partnership.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds.

As of November 10, 2016, the Reporting Persons had invested approximately $16.9 million (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in the securities of the Company. The source of these funds was the working capital of Global Fund, Small-Cap Fund, NRESF and Select Fund.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On November 10, 2016, NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, LP (“NexPoint”), an affiliate of Highland Capital, sent a letter (the “Letter”) to Mr. Michael J. Malter, the Chairman of the board of trustees of the Issuer (the “Board”), expressing strong disappointment with the Issuer’s lack of transparency to investors and failure to engage with NexPoint in connection with its proposal to (i) simplify the Issuer’s business; (ii) deleverage the Issuer; (iii) externalize management of the Issuer to NexPoint and its affiliates; and (iv) provide additional equity investments in the Issuer. The Letter reiterated NexPoint’s interest in engaging in discussions with the Issuer’s management and Board regarding the proposal. The foregoing description of the Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As of November 10, 2016, (i) the Global Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 2,219,361 Common Shares, which represents approximately 2.4% of the outstanding Common Shares; (ii) Small-Cap Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 484,789 Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.5% of the outstanding Common Shares; (iii) Highland Fund Advisors may be deemed to beneficially own 2,704,150 Common Shares, which represents approximately 2.9% of the outstanding Common Shares; (iv) Strand XVI may be deemed to beneficially own 2,704,150 Common Shares, which represents approximately 2.9% of the outstanding Common Shares; (v) NRESF may be deemed to beneficially own 98,040 Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Common Shares; (vi) NexPoint Advisors may be deemed to beneficially own 98,040
