据彭博社9月23日消息,亿万富豪约翰·弗雷德里克森与埃克斯马集团取消了成立LNG公司的协议,该公司原计划拥有13艘轮船,市值23亿美元。
弗雷德里克森旗下的佛雷斯(Flex)LNG公司与埃克斯马集团资产组合的消息发布于7月份,原计划将进行尽职审查。
佛雷斯LNG公司在对奥斯陆证交所的一份声明中表示:“双方在最终交易文件上产生了分歧,之前公布的交易难以完成。”
在最初的协议中,总部位于安特卫普的埃克斯马集团要向弗雷德里克森控股的佛雷斯LNG公司转移资产,换取该公司的3.237亿新股(占比64.6%)。弗雷德里克森旗下的Geveran有限公司目前是佛雷斯公司的最大股东,持股81.5%,原计划在重新命名的埃克斯马LNG有限公司中占股30.7%。

Fredriksen, Exmar Cancel Deal to Form $2.3 Billion LNG Company
Billionaire John Fredriksen and Exmar NV canceled a deal to create a liquefied natural gas company that would have had 13 vessels and an enterprise value of $2.3 billion.
The combination of Fredriksen’s Flex LNG Ltd and Exmar assets was announced in July and was subject to due diligence.
“The parties have failed to agree on the definitive transaction documents and the previously announced transaction will not be completed,” Flex LNG said in a statement to the Oslo Bourse.
In the original deal, Antwerp-based Exmar was to transfer its assets to Fredriksen-controlled Flex LNG in return for 323.7 million new shares in the company, giving it a 64.6 percent stake. Fredriksen’s Geveran Trading Co. Ltd., currently the biggest owner of Flex with 81.5 percent of the shares, was to hold 30.7 percent in the re-named Exmar LNG Ltd. combination.
