NextDecade Corporation (the “Corporation”) is party to an Investment Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2017, by and between NextDecade, LLC and GE Oil & Gas, Inc. (“GE”), as amended by a letter agreement, dated as of April 17, 2017, by and among NextDecade, LLC, GE and the other parties thereto (the “Merger Letter Agreement”), and a letter agreement regarding the amendments to the Investment Agreement and Framework Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2017, by and between NextDecade, LLC and GE, and as assigned to and assumed by the Corporation pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2017, by and among Harmony Merger Corp., the Corporation’s predecessor, NextDecade, LLC and GE (the agreement, as so amended, assigned and assumed, the “Investment Agreement”), which contemplates a final equity investment by GE in the Corporation, with prior equity investments having been made by GE in NextDecade, LLC in exchange for certain equity interests in NextDecade, LLC (the “Previous Tranches”).
Pursuant to the Corporation’s Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 17, 2017, the equity interests in NextDecade, LLC acquired by GE under the Previous Tranches were canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Harmony Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and the predecessor of the Corporation (the “Shares”). However, the Investment Agreement provides that, following the consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Letter Agreement), the Corporation may call for an additional investment from GE in the amount of $10,000,000, and, in the event the Corporation calls for such additional investment, for the Corporation to issue to GE, and for GE to purchase from the Corporation, a number of Shares, calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Investment Agreement, as modified by Section 2(c) of the Merger Letter Agreement (the “Third Tranche Investment”) callable by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement.
On August 8, 2017, the Corporation called for an additional investment from GE in the amount of $10,000,000 in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement. On August 22, 2017, the Corporation issued 1,025,304 shares of the Corporation’s common stock in connection with the consummation of the Third Tranche Investment. The Corporation issued the foregoing shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction not requiring registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. The parties receiving the shares represented their intentions to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificates representing the shares. The parties also had adequate access, through business or other relationships, to information about the Corporation.
