Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nebius Group N.V. states that two indirect subsidiaries, Nebius Compute II, LLC and Nebius Compute II Oy, have entered into a senior secured term loan facility of approximately $775 million with a syndicate of lenders led by MUFG. The asset-backed facility is secured by substantially all of each borrower’s assets and the borrowers’ shares, and bears interest at Term SOFR (with a 0.00% floor) plus a 2.50% margin for a one-month interest period, maturing on October 31, 2030. Covenants include a debt service coverage ratio of 1.15:1.00 and a minimum liquidity requirement, with customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

The company explains that the facility, its first senior secured debt financing, is primarily intended to finance and accelerate the global buildout of its full-stack AI cloud platform, backed by deployed GPU infrastructure and contracted cash flows from an investment-grade customer. Together with customer cash flows, the facility covers more than 100% of the capital expenditure for the underlying GPU infrastructure and is described as a framework for future asset-level financings on other long-term customer deployments. Nebius also notes that this information is incorporated by reference into its existing registration statements on Form F-3ASR and Form S-8.

Filing Explained

The amendment adds the facility disclosure to two registration statements; the filing does not establish that its $775 million capacity was drawn.

The amendment’s stated purpose is to incorporate the facility disclosure into Nebius’s existing Form F-3ASR and Form S-8 registration statements; it does not report a new share issuance. The financing remains at the entered-into facility stage.

Although the exhibit headline says Nebius “raises” $775 million, the operative filing describes an aggregate principal amount facility entered into by two subsidiaries. It does not state that any amount was borrowed or that proceeds were received, so the disclosed figure is facility capacity rather than established cash proceeds.

Facility Size approximately $775 million Aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loan facility
Interest Margin 2.50% per annum Margin over Term SOFR for a one-month interest period
SOFR Floor 0.00% Floor applied to Term SOFR in the interest calculation
Maturity Date October 31, 2030 Scheduled maturity of the senior secured facility
Debt Service Coverage Ratio 1.15:1.00 Required minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant
Additional Contracted Revenue more than $40 billion Additional contracted revenue from investment-grade customers
Capex Coverage more than 100% Facility plus customer cash flows vs. capex for GPU infrastructure
senior secured term loan facility financial
"The Facility Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount"
A senior secured term loan facility is a type of borrowed money that a company takes out, which is backed by its valuable assets like property or equipment. Because it is secured by these assets and ranks higher in repayment priority, it is considered safer for lenders and typically offers lower interest rates. For investors, it provides a relatively stable and priority claim on the company's assets if it encounters financial difficulties.
Term SOFR financial
"interest rate per annum equal to Term SOFR with a floor of 0.00% plus an applicable margin"
Term SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing money over a specific period, based on actual transactions in the financial markets. It is used by lenders and borrowers to set the interest rates on loans and financial contracts, helping to ensure rates are fair and transparent. For investors, understanding term SOFR helps gauge borrowing costs and the overall direction of interest rates in the economy.
debt service coverage ratio financial
"including a debt service coverage ratio of 1.15:1.00 and a minimum liquidity requirement"
Debt service coverage ratio measures how many times a company's available cash flow can pay its scheduled debt payments (interest plus principal). Think of it like checking how many months of take-home pay it would take to cover your mortgage and loan bills; a higher number means a bigger cushion against missed payments. Investors use it to gauge credit risk, the likelihood of default, and whether a company can afford dividends or new borrowing.
non-recourse guaranty financial
"the Company has provided a non-recourse guaranty for specified bad acts of the Borrowers"
asset-level financing financial
"providing a framework for Nebius to secure asset-level financing on other long-term customer deployments"
A financing arrangement where the loan or credit is secured by a specific tangible or financial asset—such as a building, a fleet of vehicles, or a pool of loans—rather than by a company’s overall credit. It matters to investors because the lender’s repayment depends primarily on the value and cash flow of that particular asset, so risk and recovery are more tied to the asset’s performance; think of it like borrowing against a single house rather than the whole household’s income.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Nebius raises $775 million in first secured debt financing to accelerate global buildout

 

  · Senior secured debt backed by GPU infrastructure and contracted cash flows

 

  · Demonstrates ability to fund growth at attractive terms

 

  · Repeatable financing framework for more than $40 billion of additional customer commitments

 

Amsterdam, July 17, 2026 — Nebius Group N.V. (Nasdaq: NBIS), the AI cloud company, today announced that it has entered into its first senior secured debt facility for approximately $775 million. Nebius intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to further accelerate the global build-out of its full-stack AI cloud platform.

 

The vehicle is backed by deployed GPU infrastructure and contracted cash flows from an agreement with an investment-grade customer. The facility matures October 31, 2030, and is priced at SOFR + 2.50%. Together with cash flows under the customer agreement, the facility covers more than 100% of the capital expenditure required to deploy the underlying GPU infrastructure.

 

As the contract is now in the servicing phase, this financing can be used to invest in capacity that will serve AI-native and enterprise customers on Nebius’s full-stack AI cloud platform.

 

The transaction enables Nebius to convert an operational infrastructure asset into growth capital, providing a framework for Nebius to secure asset-level financing on other long-term customer deployments. With more than $40 billion of additional contracted revenue from investment-grade customers such as Microsoft and Meta already in place, Nebius expects to raise more capital at similarly attractive terms. Nebius recently delivered the latest planned capacity tranche to Microsoft, and remains on track to deliver the remaining tranches consistent with the terms of the contracted schedule.

 

This funding strategy is consistent with Nebius’s focus on building a sustainable, profitable business through disciplined financing and a strong balance sheet.

 

Ophir Nave, Chief Operating Officer of Nebius, said:

 

"We are executing across all the areas that matter for growth: securing capacity, raising capital, strengthening our product offering, and developing other capital-efficient models to scale even further and faster.

 

 

 

 

“This financing is an important step in that strategy, and reinforces our confidence that our disciplined, diversified approach – from owned data centers to asset-light partnerships – together with robust demand for our high-value software stack, will enable us to build a sustainable AI cloud business with strong and durable margins.”

 

The transaction was significantly oversubscribed. The facility was led by MUFG as Structuring Agent, Sole Bookrunner, and Underwriter. MUFG, together with ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and HSBC acted as Mandated Lead Arrangers. Citi, Crédit Agricole CIB, ING, and Morgan Stanley, acted as Senior Lead Arrangers. Goldman Sachs also participated in the syndicate.
