Please find attached for a quick summary of relevant news pertaining to the LNG industry and infrastructure sector. Domestically, Trump's infrastructure plan proposed streamlining of environmental review and permitting processes, which could be beneficial to projects such as LNG terminal and NG pipeline projects that are currently taking years to go through approval. Trump's infrastructure plan also shift most ownership / financial responsibility to the state/local governments, which might be favorable to private sector investors in terms of 1). quantity of potential projects to choose from, 2). incentive and flexibility local authorities willing to give, and 3). greater efficiency, more certainty, and shorter lead time on project execution. Internationally, Chinese buyer, for the first time, signed a long-term purchase agreement with U. S. LNG provider. The timing of this deal is worth noting: China is facing the challenge of energy security and energy source diversification amidst a breach of contract by China's #1 gas supplier, Turkmenistan, this winter. This unexpected disruption has led to shortage and skyrocketed price. As China is experiencing an structural shift in its energy mix (consumption pattern), the demand for U. S. LNG will continue to remain robust. As such, all of the above mentioned factors are in our favor, in support of our investment thesis in natural gas (NG)/LNG along with our pursuit of energy and infrastructure related opportunities at large.
