This Amendment No. 9 ("Amendment No. 9") amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on August 3, 2017, as amended (as amended, the "Statement"), and is filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Shares"), of NextDecade Corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Statement.
