LPG Fundamentals

9

Hundreds of millions of people around the world use LPG at home for applications such as cooking and heating.

LPG is the preferred alternative automotive transportation fuel and is increasingly being used as a marine fuel.

Millions of businesses rely on LPG. It is the ideal fuel choice for businesses that are not connected to an existing electrical grid.

Farmers across the world rely on LPG to meet the challenge of staying competitive in the modern agricultural environment

Industries such as aerosol, refrigeration, and chemical feedstock all look to LPG to provide sustainable fuel alternatives

What is LPG?Liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") is a fossil fuel made during natural gas processing and oil refining. LPG is a by product of both oil and natural gas production and more than two-thirds of the LPG people use is extracted directly from the earth. The rest of it is manufactured indirectly from crude oil refining.

Why use LPG?LPG is cleaner than coal and oil and an alternative to gasoline. It generates less air pollution and produces fewer emissions of carbon dioxide. LPG is also highly portable, making it a convenient source of energy usable in remote places where ordinary gas supplies are unavailable or have been interrupted.

Illustrative increase from Korean PDH Plant

• Korean market is saturated but saw a major increase in demand this year from a new PDH facility

• PDH importers require high purity propane, best sourced from the US or Middle East

Japan Upgrades cracker capacity

• Japan’s Idemitsu Kosan’s JV with Mitsui Chemicals recently announced plans to expand the processing of propane at Idemitsu’s naphtha cracker

• The upgrade will boost the Cracker’s capacity to process propane as feedstock by three or four times.

• It will mainly rely on LPG imports for feedstock rather than a small quantity of LPG produced at the plant

India LPG import forecast (Million MT)

• The Modi Government aggressively promoting LPG penetration in rural areas calling 2016 “the year of the LPG Consumer”

• The Indian government’s subsidized LPG connection scheme has issued 30.3 million connections since its inception in March 2016 and the country now has at least 181 million subsidized connections

• Original target of new connections under latest scheme was increased from 50 million to 80 million by May 2019, suggesting there is plenty of upside for Indian LPG

• Non subsidized market growing due to lower international LPG prices

• Increased tax on gasoline has also led to increased LPG auto-gas consumption

• Paradip refinery startup marks last major domestic supply addition supporting further imports

• Seaborne LPG imports into India were up 8% in 2015, from 8.32mm tons to 8.97mm tons

• The surge in LPG demand and imports has come on the back of the governments’ subsidized Kerosene-to-LPG conversion program

• Lower prices have brought Pertamina’s imports back into profit in spite of the subsidy program

• The program is regionally limited through 2017 with the program being extended further into the eastern islands from 2018 onwards

Power Generation Fueling Demand in Ghana and Virgin Islands

23

Vitol Power Conversion: Virgin Island GE LPG Power Plant: Ghana

• In late October, the Ghanaian government approved the development of the 400 megawatt Bridge Power plant at Ghana’s Tema port.

• Once both stages have been completed, the power plant will account for 14% of electricity capacity but Ghana has plans to double total capacity, leaving room for further LPG power projects

• The success of the power generation project could lead to other countries in the continent adopting the model to supplement their insufficient power supplies.

• Vitol is leading the transformation of the power sector in the US Virgin Islands

• Upon completion of the $150mm project, Virgin Island power consumers can expect savings of up to 30%

• Since July 2016, both St. Thomas and St Croix have the majority of their electricity needs from propane

• Green house gas emissions slated to decline 20%

Key Factors Favoring LPG Adoption for Power Generation and Retail Consumption

Strong Fundamentals for Continued LPG Adoption

Each year, around 3.5 million premature deaths can be attributed to household air pollution resulting from the traditional use of solid fuels, such as fuelwood and charcoal.

Four out of five people in sub-Saharan Africa rely on the traditional use of solid biomass, mainly fuelwood, for cooking.

Nearly 3.1 billion people, or 43% of the global population, still rely on polluting fuels (i.e. biomass, coal, kerosene) and technologies for cooking - a major source of household air pollution.

2017

• Incremental VLGC fleet growth has been absorbed without severely impacting utilization thus far (i.e. demand for seaborne transport continues to grow in excess of fleet growth)

• The Panama Canal Authority is increasing rates for neo-Panamax VLGCs by 29% starting in October 2017. This equates to an increase of ~$2.2/t. Currently, we estimate that 33% of traffic through the expanded canal is VLGCs, second only to container ships. The increased fees, alongside increased competition from other sectors, could result in a reduction in VLGC transits which would increase ton mile demand as those ships would then likely transit around the Cape of Good Hope, adding an additional 20-25 days transit time.

Recent Financing Developments: Continuing to Enhance Balance Sheet Flexibility

29

• On May 31, 2017, Dorian LPG announced an agreement with its lenders under its $758 million facility to relax certain covenants of the 2015 Debt Facility and have also agreed to release $26.8 million of restricted cash to be applied towards future debt repayments, interest and certain fees.

• On June 7, 2017, the Company announced that it repaid its RBS debt facility at 96% of the then outstanding principal amount with a new $97 million bridge loan facility from DNB. As part of the refinancing, $6 million of cash previously restricted was released and used as unrestricted cash.

• On August 25, 2017, the Company announced that it had filed to issue up to $40 million of equity pursuant to an “at the market” (“ATM”) offering.

• On November 7, 2017, the Company refinanced a three-year-old VLGC, the Corsair, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement and a bareboat charter agreement that valued the vessel at $65 million. We will bareboat charter the vessel back for a period of 12 years, with purchase options from the 2nd

anniversary of the transaction. The underlying interest rate is 4.9% and the underlying amortization profile is 16 years. The cash refinancing proceeds of $52.0 million were used to repay $30.1 million of the 2017 Bridge Loan’s then outstanding principal amount.
