Teekay GP, the general partner of Teekay LNG Partners, said that it has issued approximately 0.93 million common units in a private placement to an institutional investor for proceeds of approximately $40 million.
The Partnership intends to use the proceeds from the sale of common units to partially fund its previously announced order of two fuel-efficient liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier newbuildings ordered in July 2013, scheduled for delivery in 2016, and for general partnership purposes.
