New Fortress Energy Inc. (“NFE,” together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global integrated gas-to-power infrastructure company that seeks to use natural gas to satisfy the world’s large and growing power needs and is engaged in providing energy and development services to end-users worldwide seeking to convert their operating assets from diesel or heavy fuel oil to LNG. The Company has liquefaction, regasification and power generation operations in the United States, Jamaica and Brazil. Subsequent to the Mergers (defined below), the Company now has marine operations with vessels operating under time charters and in the spot market globally.

On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisitions of Hygo Energy Transition Ltd. (“Hygo”) and Golar LNG Partners LP (“GMLP”); referred to as the “Hygo Merger” and “GMLP Merger,” respectively and, collectively, the “Mergers”. NFE paid $580 million in cash and issued 31,372,549 shares of Class A common stock to Hygo’s shareholders in connection with the Hygo Merger. NFE paid $3.55 per each common unit of GMLP outstanding and for each of the outstanding membership interests of GMLP’s general partner, totaling $251 million. The Company also repaid certain outstanding debt facilities of GMLP in conjunction with closing the GMLP Merger. The results of operations of Hygo and GMLP have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the Mergers.

As a result of the Mergers the Company acquired one operating FSRU terminal in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Facility”), a 50% interest in a 1.5GW power plant in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Power Plant”), as well as two other FSRU terminals in development in Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Facility”) and Santa Catarina, Brazil (the “Santa Catarina Facility”).

The Company acquired the Nanook, a newbuild FSRU moored and in service at the Sergipe Facility.  In addition to the Nanook, the Company acquired a fleet of six other FSRUs, six LNG carriers and an interest in a floating liquefaction vessel, the Hilli Episeyo (the “Hilli”), which liquefies and stores LNG at sea and transfers it to LNG carriers that berth while offshore, each of which are expected to help support our existing facilities and international project pipeline. The majority of the FSRUs are operating in Brazil, Kuwait, Indonesia, Jamaica and Jordan under time charters, and uncontracted vessels are available for short term employment in the spot market.

The Company currently conducts its business through two operating segments, Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships. The business and reportable segment information reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews and manages the business.
