AI云服务公司Nebius（NBIS.O）周四表示，已从花旗获得35亿美元融资额度，用于为其数据中心的持续开发和GPU采购提供资金，该公司正争相扩大产能。
AI cloud services firm Nebius (NBIS.O) on Thursday said it had secured a $3.5 billion financing facility from Citi to fund continued development of its data centres and GPU purchases as it races to expand capacity.
这一消息公布之际，上周与AI基础设施相关的股票出现抛售，此前竞争对手CoreWeave发行的债券价值大幅下跌。CoreWeave通常与Nebius一同被归为顶尖的“新云”（neocloud）公司之列，这类公司正在建设专门面向AI的数据中心。
The announcement comes against the backdrop of a selloff in shares last week related to AI infrastructure, after bonds issued by rival CoreWeave fell sharply in value. CoreWeave is usually grouped with Nebius as among the top "neocloud" firms that are building data centres specialized for AI.
Nebius的新融资额度期限为364天，初始利率为期限SOFR基准利率加2.75%。
The new Nebius facility matures in 364 days and carries an initial interest rate of 2.75% over the term SOFR benchmark rate.
这家总部位于阿姆斯特丹的公司表示，这笔融资将使其在为进一步融资的时间和结构安排上拥有更大灵活性，以支持2027年及以后的增长。其资金来源还包括客户预付款和经营现金流。
The Amsterdam-based company said the financing would give it greater flexibility over the timing and structure of further fundraising to support growth in 2027 and beyond. Its funding sources also include customer prepayments and operating cash flow.
首席运营官奥菲尔·纳韦表示，Nebius还有其他融资选择，包括以与投资级客户（其中包括微软（MSFT.O）和Meta（META.O））签订的逾400亿美元长期合同为抵押进行借款。
Chief Operating Officer Ophir Nave said Nebius had other financing options available, including borrowing against more than $40 billion in long-term contracts with investment-grade customers, which include Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Meta (META.O) .
纳韦在一份声明中说：“这笔融资额度提供了额外资金，以支持我们近期的产能建设。”在8月发行57.5亿美元可转换债券后，该公司目前约有100亿美元未偿还可转换债券债务。
"This facility provides additional financing to support our near-term capacity build-out," Nave said in a statement. The company has around $10 billion in convertible bond debt outstanding following a $5.75 billion issue in August.
