IPM’s acquisition of Dunkerque LNG terminal reaches financial close

IPM concludes the acquisition of 39.24% of Dunkerque LNG SAS, the owner of the liquified natural gas
(LNG) terminal in northern France.

PARIS/LONDON/SEOUL (30.10.2018) – IPM Group, the fund management and advisory group based in London, Seoul
and Bratislava, has today reached financial close on the acquisition of 39.24% of Dunkerque LNG SAS from EDF and
Total, on behalf of a consortium of Korean investors in cooperation with Samsung Asset Management Co Ltd.

On the same day, EDF and Total sold their remaining 35.76% shareholding in Dunkerque LNG SAS to an investor group
led by gas infrastructure group Fluxys, already active in the operation of the terminal, in consortium with AXA
Investment Managers – Real Assets, acting on behalf of its clients, and Crédit Agricole Assurances. The Korean
consortium investment was supported by an acquisition loan, with Industrial Bank of Korea acting as mandated lead
arranger. Across the two transactions of the consortia, the aggregate enterprise value for the entire stake amounts
to €2.4 billion.

Dunkerque LNG terminal (www.dunkerquelng.com) in northern France is among the largest European terminals for
the import of liquified natural gas and is connected directly to the gas networks of France and Belgium, capable of
satisfying 20% of the total gas demands of those markets. The flexibility of the terminal and its connected
infrastructure also enables it to serve the gas markets of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and beyond.
The quality of the terminal’s design, the strength of the business and its operator, and the positive prospects for the
LNG market in Europe made it a compelling investment case for IPM Group’s investors.

As a result of the transactions concluded today, EDF and Total have exited their entire shareholdings in the terminal,
with the Fluxys consortium becoming the majority shareholder including Fluxys’ original 25% shareholding. The
terminal joins Fluxys group’s impressive portfolio of critical gas infrastructure which includes the Belgian gas grid, the
Interconnector pipeline between the UK and continental Europe, and the TENP, NEL and Transitgas pipelines in
Germany and Switzerland.

The sale by EDF and Total of their stakes in the terminal attracted some of the most renowned players in the
infrastructure finance sector. IPM Group is pleased to support Fluxys’ activities on this important part of Europe’s
energy infrastructure for its investors, and looks forward to working with them and Dunkerque LNG’s other
shareholders to ensure the terminal’s continuing and growing success.
