NextDecade Corporation (NextDecade or the Company) (NASDAQ: NEXT) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Rio Grande LNG Super Holdings, LLC, has entered into a credit agreement with General Atlantic Credit's (“GA Credit”) Atlantic Park Fund that provides for a $175 million senior secured loan (the “Senior Loan”).

Proceeds from the Senior Loan were disbursed at closing on December 31, and net proceeds, after fees and related transaction expenses, will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s existing $50 million revolving credit facility and $12.5 million interest term loan, and to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including development expenses for expansion trains 4 and 5 at the Rio Grande LNG Facility.
