CJNP Japanese Financing

 

On June 11, 2018, we refinanced our 2007-built VLGC, the Captain John NP, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement and a bareboat charter agreement (the “CJNP Japanese Financing”). In connection therewith, we transferred the Captain John NP to the buyer for $48.3 million and, as part of the agreement, CJNP LPG Transport LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, bareboat chartered the vessel back for a period of 6 years, with purchase options from the end of year 2 through a mandatory buyout by 2024. We continue to technically manage, commercially charter, and operate the Captain John NP. We received $21.7 million in cash as part of the transaction with $26.6 million to be retained by the buyer as a deposit (the “CJNP Deposit”), which can be used by us towards the repurchase of the vessel either pursuant to an early buyout option or at the end of the 6-year bareboat charter term. The refinancing proceeds of $21.7 million increased our unrestricted cash after we prepaid $22.3 million of the 2017 Bridge Loan on June 4, 2018 using cash on hand prior to the closing of the CJNP Japanese Financing (see “Prepayment of the 2017 Bridge Loan” below). This transaction will be treated as a financing transaction and the Captain John NP will continue to be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. This debt financing has a fixed interest rate of 6.0%, not including estimated financing costs of $0.1 million, monthly broker commission fees of 1.25% over the 6-year term on interest and principal payments made, broker commission fees of 1.0% of an exercised purchase option excluding the CJNP Deposit, and a monthly fixed straight-line principal obligation of approximately $0.1 million over the 6-year term with a balloon payment of $13.0 million.

The refinancing proceeds of $20.6 million increased our unrestricted cash after we prepaid $21.2 million of the 2017 Bridge Loan on June 20, 2018 using cash on hand prior to the closing of the CMNL Japanese Financing (see “Prepayment of the 2017 Bridge Loan” below). The remaining proceeds were, or will be, used to pay legal fees associated with this transaction and for general corporate purposes.
