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.
