Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: NextDecade Corporation
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: August 27, 2021
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement (ATM Sales Agreement)
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or specific debt levels. The primary financial metric disclosed is the authorization of a potential capital raise:
- Maximum Offering Size: Up to $50.0 million in aggregate offering price of common stock.
- Commission Rate: Up to 2.0% of gross proceeds payable to the sales agent.
Material Changes
On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into an "At-The-Market" (ATM) Sales Agreement with Virtu Americas LLC. This agreement allows the Company to issue and sell shares of its common stock through Virtu as a sales agent or directly to Virtu as a principal. This represents a new financing mechanism rather than a change in historical operating performance.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: The Company intends to use net proceeds from any sales under the agreement for general corporate purposes, including:
- Increasing working capital.
- Financing ongoing operating expenses and overhead.
- Funding capital expenditures.
- Repayment of debt.
- Acquisitions and investments in subsidiaries.
Flexibility: The Company has no obligation to sell any shares and may suspend the offering at any time upon notice.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Monitor future filings (e.g., Form 424B5) to track actual sales volume and proceeds generated under this agreement.
