New Fortress Energy LLC Announces Definitive Offering Terms for Initial Public Offering


New Fortress Energy LLC (NASDAQ: NFE) ("New Fortress" or the "Company") announced today that following its recent nine-day roadshow, it has filed an amendment to its registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC (News - Alert)") in connection with the definitive offering terms of its initial public offering of Class A shares representing limited liability company interests in New Fortress (the "Class A shares"). New Fortress is offering 20,000,000 Class A shares at an initial public offering price of $15.00 per share. New Fortress expects to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection with the effectiveness of the registration statement on those deal terms. In addition, New Fortress intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Class A shares at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Class A shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "NFE."

New Fortress has included in the registration statement the initial public offering price and the number of shares offered and specific language under Rule 473(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), such that the registration statement is expected to become automatically effective, pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 459 under the Securities Act, on February 13, 2019. While President Trump announced today a three-week agreement to reopen the federal government, it is not clear how quickly the SEC may be able resume normal operations. If the SEC does resume normal operations sufficient to complete the offering without reliance on automatic effectiveness, New Fortress intends to pursue alternatives to obtain effectiveness of the registration statement prior to February 13, 2019.
