AKD served as Dutch counsel to a conglomerate of banks and to the note holders, both represented by Morgan Stanley, in connection with the acquisition financing by New Fortress Energy Inc. (‘New Fortress Energy’) of Hygo Energy Transition Ltd. and Golar LNG Partners LP.

The Notes bear interest at 6.500% per annum and are secured by substantially the same collateral as the first lien obligations of New Fortress Energy under the USD 1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior secured notes due 2025 issued in 2020, in which AKD also advised Morgan Stanley as the agent of the note holders.
