Venture Global, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Venture Global, Inc. announced that its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC (CP2) amended and upsized its project financing on March 13, 2026, closing Project Facilities totaling $20.7 billion to fund Phases 1 and 2 of the CP2 natural gas liquefaction and export facility and the related CP Express pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The financing increases the existing Phase 1 construction/term facility and adds a Phase 2 construction/term facility, and also expands the working capital facility.

Key Details

• Total Project Facilities: $20.7 billion (construction term loans + working capital facility).
• Construction facilities: Phase 1 original facility was $11.25B; an additional $7.85B Phase 2 construction/term facility was added.
• Working capital facility: increased from $850.0M by $750.0M.
• Draw and repayment terms: Phase 1 loans drawable until the earlier of Phase 1 date-certain (Jan 23, 2030) or project completion; Phase 2 until Phase 2 date-certain (Sep 30, 2030) or completion. All loans due in full by July 28, 2032; prepayment permitted (subject to breakage fees).
• Pricing and security: Loans priced at SOFR or base rate plus margins (SOFR margin 2.25%–2.75%; base rate margin 1.25%–1.75%). Obligations guaranteed by Venture Global CP Express, LLC and CP2 Procurement, LLC and secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets and equity interests of CP2 and the guarantors.
• Covenants: customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit additional indebtedness, liens, asset dispositions and restricted payments. A press release announcing the close was filed as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters
This financing provides concrete, committed funding for construction of the CP2 LNG project and related pipeline, materially reducing project funding risk by securing long‑term, large-scale debt. For investors, the deal increases consolidated secured obligations and creates liens and covenants that can limit the company’s flexibility until project obligations are repaid (by 2032). Interest exposure is tied to SOFR or base rates plus set margins, so future interest expense will vary with market rates.
