NEXTDC launches $750m wholesale notes to boost growth funding

The NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT) share price is in focus after the company announced it has successfully priced and allocated a $750 million wholesale subordinated notes offer, boosting pro forma liquidity to approximately $6.6 billion.

What did NEXTDC report?

• Priced and allocated $750 million of floating rate subordinated notes in the wholesale debt market
• Notes have a 4-year tenor, maturing April 2030, with a coupon of 3-month BBSW + 350 basis points
• Strengthens and diversifies funding sources as part of NEXTDC’s $2.2 billion capital plan
• Pro forma liquidity (cash and undrawn facilities) rises to about $6.6 billion post-issue

What else do investors need to know?

NEXTDC’s Wholesale Notes Offer delivers on plans flagged earlier this month, complementing its recent entitlement offer and $1.7 billion hybrid securities offer. The new funding package is designed to underpin the company’s ongoing expansion, support major data centre projects, and maintain a robust balance sheet.

The new subordinated notes rank below the company’s existing senior debt but above its hybrid securities and shares. The minimum investment is $500,000 for Australian wholesale clients, and the notes will not be listed on the ASX.

What did NEXTDC management say?

CEO and Managing Director Craig Scroggie said:

The successful allocation of our inaugural Wholesale Notes Offer represents another important step in executing NEXTDC’s Capital Plan and further strengthens the Company’s long-term capital structure. We are delighted with the strong support received from institutional and high net worth investors, which is further validation of our growth strategy and the long-term trajectory of the Australian data centre market.

What’s next for NEXTDC?

NEXTDC is focused on executing its capital plan to fund the next stage of growth, including record contracted utilisation across its data centre portfolio. The increased liquidity positions the company to seize new opportunities, support large-scale developments, and stay at the forefront of Australia’s fast-evolving data infrastructure sector.

Investors can expect NEXTDC to continue seeking innovative ways to diversify funding, maintain flexibility, and strengthen its leadership position in the Australian and Asia Pacific data centre market.
