• Höegh Gallant delivered from Hyundai Heavy Industries and directly employed on a short term charter as an LNG carrier
• The Company placed an order for its 7th FSRU with delivery first quarter 2017, in line with its business model and expansion plan
• The Company signed a Joint Development Agreement with the project sponsor for a second North American FLNG project
• Bondholders approved all proposed amendments to the NOK 750 million bond agreement (the "Bond Agreement"), giving the Company increased flexibility in executing its growth strategy and dividend policy

Subsequent Events

"This quarter was marked by several significant milestones, including that the FSRU Independence started generating income and contributed to an improved EBITDA. The net result is, however, adversely impacted by impairment charges, of which the majority relates to intangible assets capitalized pre-IPO in 2008 and 2009. HLNG has now entered the operating phase of its current FSRU expansion program and expects to grow the Company's EBITDA several times over the next couple of years. This transition of the Company is further marked by our first quarterly dividend payment of USD 0.1 per share. And, most importantly, as shown by the decision to order our 7th FSRU, we will continue to leverage our position as the leading provider of FSRU services in order to reach our objective of doubling our fleet within the next 4 year period."
