ASX Release
5 May 2026
A$1.8 billion of New Senior Debt Commitments Secured
NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) ("NEXTDC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received credit approved commitment letters from a syndicate of leading domestic and international relationship banks in respect of A$1.8 billion of new senior debt facilities (the "New Facilities").
The commitments reflect continued strong support from NEXTDC's banking syndicate following the Company's recent record increase in contracted utilisation announced on 20 April 2026¹ and build on NEXTDC's recent capital raising initiatives.
Upon Financial Close of the New Facilities, NEXTDC's total available senior debt facilities will increase from A$6.4 billion to A$8.2 billion, and NEXTDC's estimated pro forma 30 June 2026 liquidity (cash and undrawn facilities) increases to approximately A$8.4 billion².
The New Facilities will be governed by NEXTDC's existing Common Terms Deed³. Margins on the New Facilities are broadly consistent with margins on NEXTDC's existing senior debt facilities of similar tenor.
Proceeds from the New Facilities will primarily support capital expenditure requirements associated with recent customer contract wins, ongoing data centre developments as well as for general corporate purposes.
A general syndication of the New Facilities will commence shortly. Financial Close of the New Facilities, including execution of definitive financing documentation and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, is expected to occur in July 2026.
The Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners ("MLABs") are Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, ING Bank N.V., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd., National Australia Bank Limited, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (Sydney Branch) and Westpac Banking Corporation.
