NVIDIA commits another $1.5bn to SB Energy, conditional on IPO
The private placement agreement is separate from NVIDIA’s $1.5bn prepaid equity forward funded in August.
SB Energy’s August 31 registration statement disclosed a $1.5 billion private placement commitment from NVIDIA. The August 17 agreement provides for non-voting Class N shares at the IPO price, conditional on the public offering closing and other contractual conditions.
This is additional to NVIDIA’s $1.5 billion prepaid equity forward funded in August. Together the two contracts represent $3 billion of investment arrangements; the IPO-linked placement was a commitment rather than completed cash proceeds.
