NextDecade Announces Departure of COO Ivan Van der Walt

NextDecade Corporation (“NextDecade”) (NASDAQ: NEXT) announced today that its Chief Operating Officer, Ivan Van der Walt, will leave the company to pursue other opportunities, effective June 10, 2022. His legacy is the strong engineering, construction, and regulatory leadership team he assembled that is responsible for helping deliver the Rio Grande LNG export project and the development of NEXT Carbon Solutions proprietary processes.

“Ivan has helped grow NextDecade and his leadership has helped ensure we have the right team and processes in place to begin the construction of Rio Grande LNG in the second half of this year,” said Matt Schatzman, NextDecade’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Assuming the achievement of further LNG contracting and financing, NextDecade anticipates making a positive final investment decision (“FID”) on a minimum of two trains of the Rio Grande LNG export project in the second half of 2022, with FIDs of its remaining three trains to follow thereafter.
