NEXTDC

ASX Release

7 May 2026

Completion of Hybrid Securities Offer

NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“NEXTDC” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the wholesale offering of subordinated hybrid securities (“Hybrid Securities Offer”).

The A$1.7 billion Hybrid Securities Offer comprised both the initial A$1.0 billion series announced to ASX on 7 April 2026 (“Initial Series”) and the A$0.7 billion delayed draw series announced to ASX on 20 April 2026 (“Delayed Draw Series”).

The announcements of both the Initial Series and the Delayed Draw Series were accompanied by a binding commitment from La Caisse, a global investment group based in Québec, Canada, to subscribe for A$1.0 billion and A$0.7 billion in the Initial Series and Delayed Draw Series, respectively.

The Hybrid Securities are deeply subordinated instruments, ranking junior to all existing and future debt obligations of the Group (including the Company’s senior debt facilities and the Wholesale Notes issued on 30 April 2026) and senior only to the Company’s ordinary shares and any other equity securities. They are expected to be tax deductible and classified as debt for accounting purposes and will sit outside the Company’s senior debt covenants. There are no equity conversion features associated with the Hybrid Securities. Further details of the terms and conditions of the Hybrid Securities can be found in the ASX announcements on 7 April 2026 and 20 April 2026.

Settlement and issue of the Initial Series is expected to occur on 15 May 2026. The Delayed Draw Series can be issued within the 12-month period starting 6 May 2026. Settlement is subject to customary conditions precedent.

Upon Financial Close of the A$1.8 billion of new senior debt facilities announced on 5 May 2026 (“New Facilities”), NEXTDC’s estimated pro forma 30 June 2026 liquidity (cash and undrawn facilities) increases to approximately A$8.4 billion¹.

Advisers

Barrenjoey acted as sole Structuring Adviser, Lead Manager and Offer Agent to NEXTDC in relation to the Hybrid Securities Offer.

Cadence Advisory acted as independent financial adviser and Mallesons as legal adviser to NEXTDC in relation to the Hybrid Securities Offer.

Authorised for release by the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of NEXTDC Limited.

ENDS

¹ Reflects the A$6.6 billion pro forma 30 June 2026 liquidity position disclosed in NEXTDC’s ASX announcement titled ‘A$750m Wholesale Notes Offer Successfully Priced and Allocated’ released to ASX on 24 April 2026, adjusted for the A$1.8 billion of new commitments under the New Facilities.
