        新成立的CoolCo公司已经完成从百慕大（Bermuda）货主Golar LNG公司收购8艘液化天然气船（LNG carrier）计划中4艘船舶交易。

 

        去年年底，Golar LNG公司表示，它将把旗下8艘TFDE液化天然气船出售给一家名为Cool Company的新公司。除了Golar LNG公司外，东太平洋航运（Eastern Pacific Shipping）公司也为促进CoolCo公司发展产生了积极影响。

 

        双方于2022年1月26日就第一次收购的最终条款达成共识。

 

        本周初CoolCo公司完成了第一次收购，其涵盖了Golar子公司Golar Hull M2022的所有股份，该公司是液化天然气船“Golar Crystal”号的所有者。

 

        此后，CoolCo公司购买了以下三艘液化天然气船：“Golar Frost”号，“ Golar Seal”号以及“Golar Bear”号。

 

        第二次收购完成于3月7日，其涵盖了Golar子公司Golar LNG NB12的所有股份，该公司是液化天然气船“Golar Frost”的所有者。

 

        CoolCo公司于3月9日购买了Golar子公司Golar Hull M2021的全部股份，该公司是液化天然气船“Golar Seal”号的所有者。

 

        CoolCo公司紧接着第二天（即3月10日）便完成了第四次收购，其涵盖了Golar子公司Golar Hull M2027的所有股份，该公司是液化天然气船“Golar Bear”号的所有者。

 

        购买资金来自CoolCo公司高级担保银行的贷款，向Golar公司支付现金以及Golar公司以10美元的认购价格认购了CoolCo公司1,562,500股面值为1美元的新普通股。

 

        因此，现在CoolCo公司持有33,760,000股已发行股份。

 

        CoolCo公司也将在短期内完成其同意购买Golar其余四家船舶子公司的股权转让交易。

CoolCo wraps up 4th of 8 LNGC acquisitions from Golar LNG

 

The newly formed company CoolCo has wrapped four of eight LNG carrier acquisitions from Bermuda-based shipper Golar LNG.

 

At the end of last year, Golar LNG said it will separate eight of its TFDE LNG carriers into the new company called Cool Company. In addition to Golar LNG, Eastern Pacific Shipping also took on an active role in the further development of CoolCo.

 

The parties agreed on the final terms for the first acquisition on 26 January 2022.

 

The first completion of the acquisition took place earlier this week. It covered all of the shares in Golar’s subsidiary, Golar Hull M2022, which is the owner of the LNG tanker Golar Crystal.

 

After that, CoolCo bought the following LNG tankers: Golar Frost, Golar Seal, and Golar Bear.

 

The second completion took place on 7 March. It covered all of the shares in Golar’s subsidiary, Golar LNG NB12, which is the owner of the LNGC Golar Frost.

 

On 9 March, the company bought all of the shares in Golar’s subsidiary, Golar Hull M2021, which is the owner of the LNG tanker Golar Seal.

 

The following day, the fourth completion covered all of the shares in Golar’s subsidiary, Golar Hull M2027. This is the owner of the LNGC Golar Bear.

 

The purchase price was financed by a drawing under CoolCo’s senior secured bank facility, a cash payment to Golar and the subscription by Golar of 1,562,500 new common shares of $1 par value in CoolCo at a subscription price of $10.

 

Therefore, there are now 33,760,000 shares in issue in CoolCo.

 

The transfers of title to the shares in the remaining four ship subsidiaries of Golar which CoolCo has agreed to buy will also wrap up in the short term.
