The facility removes near-term equity dilution risk and signals lender confidence in Nebius's AI cloud strategy. Watch for deployment pace of proceeds into GPU/data center capacity and any future asset-backed financing tied to the $40B+ customer contracts. The step-up interest rate structure creates incentive to refinance within 12-18 months.

Nebius Group N.V. announced a $3.5 billion senior secured bridge facility from Citi, with a 364-day maturity (extendable to October 2027) and interest at Term SOFR + 2.75%-3.50%. The proceeds will fund data center development, GPU procurement, and general corporate purposes, supporting the company's AI cloud capacity build-out.
