/PRNewswire/ -- Flex LNG Ltd ("Flex LNG" and/or the "Company")
(NYSE: FLNG) (OSE: FLNG) is pleased to announce today that the
aggregate $430 million of new
financings announced in the Q2-2024 report have been completed
according to plan with net proceeds of about $97 million.
On September 24, 2024, the new
$270 million bank facility financing
Flex Aurora and Flex Ranger was completed, and the previous
$375 million bank facility was repaid
in full. Consequently, the Flex Endeavour was unencumbered at end
of Q3-2024.
On October 3, 2024, the Company
successfully closed the new $160
million JOLCO lease for Flex Endeavour at very attractive
terms.
As announced in the Q2-2024 earnings presentation, Flex LNG had
a cash balance of $370 million on
June 30, 2024, thus with the
completion of these refinancings, the Company will add to an
already substantial cash balance.
Knut Traaholt, CFO of Flex LNG
Management AS, commented:
"We are pleased to have completed another round of refinancings
at very attractive terms. We highly appreciate the efforts of all
involved parties for another smooth closing, and we welcome a new
international shipping bank to our banking group. We are grateful
for the trust and strong support from our banks and lease providers
which have resulted in a very attractive funding platform for Flex
