The Financial Investor Subscription Agreement contemplates the potential accession thereto as a Financial Investor Member Owner by MIC TI Holding Company 2 RSC Limited, an ADGM Restricted Scope Company, with respect to a portion of the Financial Investor Member’s aggregate equity commitment. Also on August 7, 2025, NextDecade, through Sponsor, together with the ND Train 4 Member and Train 4 JVCo, entered into a subscription agreement (the “ND Subscription Agreement” and together with the Investor Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) whereby ND Train 4 Member agreed to provide an equity commitment of up to approximately $1.2 billion to finance the Train 4 Project in exchange for a 40% equity interest in Train 4 JVCo, with NextDecade’s economic interest increasing to 60% upon the achievement by Financial Investor Member of certain returns on its investment in the Train 4 Project.
The entry by the JV Members into the Investor Subscription Agreements constitutes their respective exercise of options to invest in Train 4 equity. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon the achievement of certain closing conditions, including the absence of material and adverse changes related to the Train 4 Project, the execution of suitable definitive financing documentation and the taking of a final investment decision on the Train 4 Project.
Each Investor Subscription Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. Pursuant to the Investor Subscription Agreements, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, (i) Sponsor and the ND Train 4 Member agreed to indemnify the applicable JV Members (or, in the case of the Financial Investor Member, the Financial Investor Member Owners) from and against losses resulting from any breaches by Sponsor or the ND Member of certain representations, warranties, and covenants under the Investor Subscription Agreements; and (ii) the applicable JV Members (or, in the case of the Financial Investor Member, the Financial Investor Member Owners) and certain related parties have agreed to severally indemnify Sponsor and the ND Train 4 Member from any losses resulting from the breach of certain fundamental representations and warranties by such applicable JV Member (and, in the case of the Financial Investor Member, the Financial Investor Member Owners).
