Hoegh LNG Partners, LP (ticker HMLP) is currently out on its IPO roadshow and looking to raise $192 million by selling 9.6 million common units (before the over-allotment) at a mid-point price of $20 with an indicated mid-point yield of 6.75%. They expect to price the deal Wednesday August 6.
HMLP is a growth-oriented limited partnership formed by Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. (Oslo Børs symbol: HLNG), a leading floating LNG service provider, to own, operate and acquire floating storage and regasification units (“FSRUs”), LNG carriers and other LNG infrastructure assets under long-term charters, which are defined as charters of five or more years. At the closing of this offering, interests in their initial fleet of FSRUs will be contributed to HMLP by Höegh LNG. HMLP’s initial fleet will consist of modern FSRUs that operate under long-term charters with major energy companies or utilities. HMLP intends to grow its business in the FSRU, LNG carrier and LNG infrastructure market through acquisitions from Höegh LNG and third parties. HMLP also believes it can grow organically by continuing to provide reliable service to customers and leveraging Höegh LNG’s relationships, expertise and reputation.
