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 First Container Terminal ("FCT"), the Company's 100% subsidiary, has today registered a prospectus for a Rouble-denominated Bond Program with the Central Bank of Russia. The Program, which will be commenced only if market conditions present suitable opportunity for such a step, provides FCT with the potential to issue bonds in six tranches of 5 billion Russian roubles each for a total amount of up to 30 billion Russian roubles over a period of up to three years.

The move has been taken with the aim of facilitating greater financial flexibility and diversification of the debt portfolio of the Group. Proceeds from such bond issuance, if implemented, are expected to be used for the refinancing of the existing debt of the Group.
