NextDecade Corporation (“NextDecade”), formerly Harmony Merger

“Today marks an important milestone for NextDecade. As a public
company, NextDecade will be able to better serve its stakeholders
and realize its goal of providing competitively-priced LNG to the
global marketplace,” said Kathleen Eisbrenner, NextDecade’s Chief
Executive Officer.
Eric Rosenfeld, formerly Chief Executive Officer of Harmony and
now a member of NextDecade’s Board of Directors, added, “The LNG
industry is in the midst of a global transformation and the United
States is at the forefront of this changing industry. NextDecade is
ideally suited to capitalize on this movement with its advantaged
geographic location, experienced management team and advanced
project portfolio. We are thrilled to have completed our merger and
look forward to working together to bring new energy to our allies
and partners.”
As a result of the business combination closing, new CUSIP
numbers of 65342K 105 and 65342K 113 have been assigned to
NextDecade’s common stock and warrants. Information regarding the
transaction is available from NextDecade’s definitive proxy
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on June 29, 2017. Additional information on the transaction and
NextDecade’s special meeting held to approve the transaction,
including the results of such meeting, will be included in a
Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by NextDecade with the SEC
on or before July 28, 2017. All of the foregoing are or will be
available at www.sec.gov and at www.next-decade.com.
Since filing its formal Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(“FERC”) application in May 2016, NextDecade’s primary project, the
Rio Grande LNG project in South Texas, has made significant
commercial, engineering, environmental and regulatory progress.
NextDecade currently anticipates receiving full authorization from
all relevant permitting agencies in 2018, laying the groundwork for
a final investment decision that same year.
