Borrowings bear interest at SOFR or base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%b per annum for SOFR-based loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans, subject to reductions of up to 1.00% per annum based on achieving certain ratings requirements. VGLNG may prepay without premium or penalty.
The accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) states that proceeds are expected to fund certain project costs for the CP2 and Plaquemines bolt-on expansions before their respective final investment decisions.
