The Partnership was formed by Höegh LNG Partners Ltd. ("Höegh"). According to the complaint, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omitted to disclose that: (1) the Partnership was facing issues with the PGN FSRU Lampung charter (the "Charter"); (2) as a result, the charterer would commence arbitration to declare the Charter null and void; (3) the Partnership would need to find alternative refinancing for its PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility; (4) the PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility matured in September 2021, not October 2021 as previously stated; (5) the Partnership would be forced to accept less favorable refinancing terms with regards to the PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility; (6) Höegh would not extend the revolving credit line to the Partnership past its maturation date; (7) Höegh would have very limited capacity to extend any additional advances to the Partnership beyond what was currently drawn under the facility; (8) the Partnership would essentially end distributions to common unitholders; (9) the COVID-19 pandemic was not the sole or root cause of the Partnership's issues in Indonesia; and (10) neither the auditing, taxes, nor maintenance of the Charter were the root causes of the Partnership's issues in Indonesia.
On July 27, 2021, the Partnership issued a press release revealing that its Board of Directors had reduced its quarterly cash distribution to $0.01 per common unit, down from a distribution of $0.44 per common unit in the first quarter of 2021. The Partnership also revealed that it had received notice from Höegh that the Partnership's revolving credit line would not be extended when it matured on January 1, 2023. On this news, the Partnership's common unit price fell $11.57 per common unit, or 64%, to close at $6.30 per common unit on July 28, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume, damaging investors.
