NextDecade Engages Societe Generale and Macquarie Capital as Financial Advisors for Rio Grande LNG
NextDecade, LLC announced that it has appointed Societe Generale and Macquarie Capital to act as joint financial advisors in conjunction with the anticipated debt and equity financing for the construction of its Rio Grande LNG and Rio Bravo Pipeline projects.

“We are pleased to bring our expertise to NextDecade as they move towards their final investment decision,” said Brent Wahl, Senior Managing Director at Macquarie Capital. “NextDecade’s commitment to proven technology along with their strong industry and commercial relationships make Rio Grande an attractive LNG project.”

Societe Generale and Macquarie Capital have each played extensive roles advising and participating in debt and equity financing for large-scale infrastructure and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) projects. To date, Societe Generale has acted as Joint Lead Arranger in the financing and development of all LNG projects that have been commissioned in North America. For two of these LNG Projects, Societe Generale acted as Sole Financial Advisor and assisted the sponsors in raising approximately $25 billion in capital. Globally, Societe Generale has worked on over 45 transactions in the LNG sector. Macquarie Capital is a global leader in infrastructure advisory with extensive experience in the LNG sector, including raising over $3 billion of equity and mezzanine financing on Freeport LNG (Trains 1 – 3) in Project Finance International’s 2014 Deal of the Year (Americas).

NextDecade CFO Ben Atkins said, “Societe Generale and Macquarie Capital’s combined experience and collaborative approach will help ensure that NextDecade optimizes its cost of capital and minimizes its execution risk.”

NextDecade submitted its pre-filing application for Rio Grande LNG with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in March 2015 and its formal application was submitted in May 2016. The Rio Grande LNG project is believed to be among the leaders of the second wave of U.S. LNG export projects and is being permitted for up to 6 liquefaction trains each with nominal output capacity of 4.5 million tons per annum (“MTPA”). In August 2016, NextDecade was granted authorization to export up to 27 MTPA of LNG for a 30-year term by the U.S. Department of Energy.

On April 18, 2017, NextDecade announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Harmony Merger Corp. (NASDAQ: HRMN, HRMNU, and HRMNW) (“Harmony”). Harmony is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, whose objective is to take a company public via a reverse merger. The proposed merger, which was first announced on March 13, 2017, is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2017.
