May 5 (Reuters) - Australian data center operator NEXTDC (NXT.AX) said on Tuesday it ‌has secured A$1.8 billion ($1.29 billion) in ‌new senior debt facilities to support capital expenditure ​required for recent customer contract wins and ongoing data center developments.

The move follows a sweeping A$1.5 billion entitlement offer and ‌an additional commitment ⁠of A$700 million by Canada's La Caisse last month.

• Upon ⁠financial close, NEXTDC's total available senior debt facilities will increase from A$6.4 billion to ​A$8.2 billion.

• ​NEXTDC said ​in mid-April that its ‌pro forma contracted utilisation, the total power capacity formally signed up by customers, jumped by roughly 60% to 667 megawatts (MW) as of March 31, compared with ‌end-December 2025.

• The company's ​estimated pro forma 30 ​June 2026 ​liquidity, including cash and undrawn ‌facilities, will increase to approximately ​A$8.4 billion.

• ​A general syndication of the new facilities will commence shortly, with financial ​close expected ‌in July 2026.
