Global Ports registers prospectus for Rouble-denominated Bond Program

Global Ports Investments PLC ("Global Ports" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the "Group" or the "Global Ports Group"; LSE ticker: GLPR) announces that Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company ("VSC"), the Company's 100% subsidiary, has today registered a prospectus for a Rouble-denominated Bond Program with the Central Bank of Russia. The Program provides VSC with the potential over a period of up to three years to issue bonds in six tranches of 5 billion Russian roubles each for a total amount of up to 30 billion Russian roubles with a maturity of up to 10 years.

The Program was initially envisaged as one of the means to optimize VSC's debt portfolio, which has instead been refinanced with the proceeds of the Group's recent Eurobond issue.
