July 10 : Australian data center operator NEXTDC said on Friday it had signed new senior debt facilities of A$2.3 billion ($1.60 billion) to support capital expenditure required for recent customer contract wins and ongoing data center developments.

• The new facilities mark an A$500 million increase to the A$1.8 billion of commitments announced in May.

• "The upsize reflects continued strong support from a broad syndicate of domestic and international banks," the company said.

• Upon financial close, NEXTDC's total available senior debt facilities will increase from A$6.4 billion to A$8.7 billion.
