Summary: A new class of bivariate distributions (NBD) was recently introduced by {\it A. M. Sarhan} and {\it N. Balakrishnan} [A new class of bivariate distributions and its mixture. J. Multivariate Anal. 98, No.~7, 1508‒1527 (2007; Zbl 1116.62060)]. We give the joint survival function of a multivariate extension of the NBD, which is not an absolutely continuous multivariate distribution, and its marginal and extreme order statistics distributions are also derived. The multivariate ageing and dependence properties of the proposed $n$-dimensional distribution are discussed, and we analyze the stochastic ageing of its marginals and its minimum and maximum order statistics.
