Navigator Gas Announces Signing of Non-Binding Letter of Intent for Sale of Eight Gas Vessels and Its Shareholding in Unigas Joint Venture

LONDON, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Navigator Holdings Ltd. (“Navigator Gas” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NVGS), the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers, today announces that yesterday, April 14, it signed a non-binding letter of intent with Bernhard Schulte (Singapore) Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Bernhard Schulte”) and Sloman Neptun Schiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft (“Sloman Neptun” and, together with Bernhard Schulte, the “Buyers”) for the sale by the Company to the Buyers of eight gas carriers (the “Vessels”) as well as the Company’s shareholding in the Unigas International B.V. joint venture (the “Unigas Pool”), which currently commercially manages the Vessels, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $183 million (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The eight Vessels intended to be sold as part of the Proposed Transaction are summarised in the table below:

Vessel	Capacity (m 3 )	Year Built
Happy Pelican	6,800	2012
Happy Penguin	6,800	2013
Happy Condor	9,000	2008
Happy Osprey	12,000	2013
Happy Kestrel	12,000	2013
Happy Peregrine	12,000	2014
Happy Albatross	12,000	2015
Happy Avocet	12,000	2017

On completion of the Proposed Transaction, Navigator Gas will fully exit the Unigas Pool, which will continue to operate with the remaining existing partners, Sloman Neptun and Bernhard Schulte. The proceeds from the Proposed Transaction are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

The Proposed Transaction is consistent with the Company’s ongoing focus on fleet optimization and disciplined capital allocation. The Vessels, with an average age of 13 years, represent non-core tonnage, and the Proposed Transaction will allow the Company to focus on its long-term fleet strategy which is centered on growing and consolidating handysize and midsize ethylene-capable vessels.

The Company expects the Proposed Transaction to be value accretive, with each of the Vessels anticipated to be sold at approximately net asset value (NAV), reflecting a disciplined approach to capital stewardship, whilst also further optimising the balance sheet, enhancing shareholder value, and supporting ongoing fleet renewal, including investment in newer and more efficient vessels in line with our strategy.

Mads Peter Zacho, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“As our business continues to develop, it is important that our fleet composition and capital allocation remain tightly aligned with our long-term strategic direction. This step reflects a clear focus on simplifying our portfolio and concentrating on assets that best support our core activities, while maintaining the flexibility to continue refreshing the fleet and positioning Navigator Gas for sustainable long-term performance. We are grateful to our Unigas partners for the constructive and long-standing relationship we have shared over many years.”

The Proposed Transaction is subject to the execution of definitive vessel and share sale documentation, approval by the boards of directors of Navigator Gas, Bernhard Schulte and Sloman Neptun, any regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The parties anticipate closing the Proposed Transaction by the fourth quarter of 2026.

About Navigator Gas

Navigator Holdings Ltd. (described herein as “Navigator Gas” or the “Company”) is the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers and a global leader in the seaborne transportation services of petrochemical gases, such as ethylene and ethane, liquefied petroleum gas and ammonia and owns a 50% share, through a joint venture, in an ethylene export marine terminal at Morgan’s Point, Texas on the Houston Ship Channel, USA. Navigator Gas’ fleet consists of 55 semi- or fully-refrigerated liquefied gas carriers, 24 of which are ethylene and ethane capable. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the fleet will consist of 47 semi- or fully-refrigerated liquefied gas carriers, 16 of which are ethylene and ethane-capable. The Company plays a vital role in the liquefied gas supply chain for energy companies, industrial consumers and commodity traders, with its sophisticated vessels providing an efficient and reliable ‘floating pipeline’ between the parties, connecting the world today, creating a sustainable tomorrow.
