Golar LNG Partners mulls bond issue

Bermuda-based Golar LNG Partners said it is contemplating issuing new senior unsecured bonds in the Norwegian bond market.

The bonds will be denominated in US dollars and mature in May 2020. The net proceeds from the bond issue shall be used to repay debt, including shareholder loans, and for general corporate purposes, Golar LNG Partners said in a statement on Monday.

Danske Bank Markets, DNB Markets, Nordea Markets and Pareto Securities are acting as Joint Bookrunners for the bond issuance. DVB Capital Markets and Fearnley Securites are acting as Co-Managers.

The bonds will be offered in the United States only to qualified institutional investors (or QIBs) as defined in Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 concurrently with bonds offered outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act, the company added.
