挪威Flex筹集3亿美元以购买更多LNG船

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月11日奥斯陆报道，挪威出生的亿万富翁John Fredriksen控股的FLEX LNG已经筹集了3亿美元的私募股权，以帮助支付5艘价值9.18亿美元的新船费用。

Fredriksen的公司通常会在晚些时候增发高收益债券和银行贷款，以支付股票销售不包括的成本。

Flex表示，当这些船只在2020年和2021年从韩国大宇（Daewoo）和现代（Hyundai）的船厂交付时，Flex LNG将拥有一支13艘船的船队。

Fredriksen本人以1亿美元的价格买入了该公司的股票，将其在该公司的整体持股比例从49.9%降至44.6%。

Billionaire Fredriksen's Flex raises $300 mln for more LNG ships

Flex LNG, controlled by Norwegian-born billionaire John Fredriksen, has raised $300 million in a private placement of shares to help pay for five new vessels costing $918 million, it said on Thursday.

Fredriksen’s companies typically add high-yield bond issues and bank loans at a later time to pay the cost not covered by share sales.

When the vessels are delivered from the yards of South Korea’s Daewoo (DSME) and Hyundai (HHI) in 2020 and 2021, Flex LNG will have a fleet of 13 ships, Flex said.

Fredriksen himself bought shares for $100 million, cutting his overall stake in the firm to 44.6 percent following the placement from 49.9 percent.​
