Höegh LNG : Fixed income investor meetings

Hamilton, Bermuda 14 January 2020 - Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. ("Höegh LNG") has mandated Danske Bank, DNB Markets, Nordea, Swedbank and ABN AMRO to arrange a series of fixed income investor meetings commencing today. Subject to inter alia market conditions, a NOK denominated 5-year senior unsecured bond issue may follow.  

In conjunction with the potential bond issue, the company may consider a conditional buyback of HLNG02 (ISIN: NO0010739683) maturing 5 June 2020. Subject to a successful issuance of new bonds, the company plans to exercise the call option in whole or in parts to repay HLNG02 bonds at the prevailing call price (101.00% of par value). The proceeds from the potential bond issue will be used for refinancing of existing debt and general corporate purposes. 

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice earlier this morning where Höegh LNG reported it has received confirmation of final credit approval for an up to USD 80 million revolving credit facility. The facility will be secured by the company’s common units in Höegh LNG Partners LP and will be used to refinance part of the HLNG02 bond loan and general corporate purposes.
