Crown LNG Announces Execution of Final Agreements to Acquire Kakinada and Grangemouth LNG Import Terminal Assets
01 Novembro 2024 - 5:15PM
Crown LNG Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: CGBS) (“Crown” or “Crown LNG”),
a leading provider of LNG liquefaction and regasification terminal
technologies for harsh weather locations, today announced the
conclusion of two strategic acquisition agreements forming the
basis of Crown LNG's entry into the global LNG infrastructure
network: KGLNG and Grangemouth. The KGLNG agreement finalizes the
acquisition of all shares of KGLNG, which owns the operating
license for the Company’s planned LNG import terminal in Kakinada,
India. The Grangemouth agreement finalizes the acquisition of LNG
import terminal assets in Grangemouth, Scotland from GBTron Lands
Limited.
The Kakinada project, located on the East coast
of India, is licensed to operate 365 days a year, a first for the
harsh weather prone area. Imported gas from the planned terminal
would reach demand centers via the East-West Pipeline, helping to
support the Indian government’s drive to more than double the share
of natural gas in the country’s energy mix to 15% by 2030.
Total consideration for the KGLNG acquisition
will be made in shares of Crown LNG equal to $60 million.
The Grangemouth project, located on the East
coast of Scotland, seeks to support the UK’s increasing drive for
energy security post-Brexit and in the context of geopolitical
impacts on energy markets. Currently, the UK relies on just three
facilities for all of the country’s LNG imports, which increased
74% from 2021 to 2022.
Total consideration for the GBTron acquisition
will be made in shares of Crown LNG equal to $25 million.
“We are excited and proud to announce the
execution of these two transactions and move these two projects
down the path,” said Swapan Kataria, Chief Executive Officer of
Crown LNG. “With Crown LNG and our subsidiaries now firmly in
control of the Kakinada and Grangemouth projects, we look forward
to driving the success of these two transformative projects for
both India and the UK.”
