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.
