Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements including analyses and other information based on

forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and statements relating to our future

prospects, developments and business strategies. Forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms

and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,”

“project,” “will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. The forward-looking

statements in this presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon

further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data

contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions

were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and

contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we

will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Actual results could differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or

more of the underlying assumptions or expectations proves to be inaccurate or is not realized. Our actual future

results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking

statements by these cautionary statements. We caution readers of this presentation not to place undue reliance

on forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date of

this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as

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.

U.S. as Global NGL / LPG Price Setter…

We believe the U.S. will become the global LPG market price setter given increasing supply at both

Mont Belvieu and the Northeast (Marcus Hook) coupled with a liquid trading market and active hedging

opportunities along the forward curves.

Increasing price

LPG Exports to Clear Market Existing Capacity

Mariner East 2 AltaGas Ridley Island

Pembina Prince Rupert

• We estimate current LPG export

capacity is running at ~91%

utilization (LPG nameplate

capacity est. at ~1,200 mb/d).

• Based on the ‘Base Case’ model,

increasing volumes of LPG

(propane and butane) will need to

be exported in order to clear the

market. The total volume is

expected to grow from ~1,000

mb/d in 2017 to ~1,300 mb/d in

2020 and ~1,500 mb/d in 2022.

The need to clear via exports

stems from the lack of

incremental domestic demand in

the face of increasing levels of

production.

• The Mariner East II start-up (est.

2018) will provide an outlet for

(initially) up to ~275 mb/d. We

expect this will provide some near

term relief to the Gulf Coast

terminals, although we expect

that Mariner East II will take some

time to fill up. Mariner East II is

expected to primarily export NGLs

produced in the Appalachian

region.

Base Case LPG Exports (mb/d)

Export capacity tightens. New capacity needed.

Chinese Consumers Continue to Drive LPG Demand

19Source: FGE, Platts

• While the restart of coal-fired plants to ease winter power shortages has probably dented Chinese residential heating

demand for LPG in the near term, demand from the petrochemical sector is set to rebound with new PDH and alkylation

unit start-ups due in 2018

• Residential LPG will still be required in more remote rural areas, where piped gas is unavailable or too costly to install,

but overall, chemicals will account for a growing share of China’s LPG demand, especially with a rapidly growing

petrochemical base in China.

• While no new PDH plants started up in China last year, both the 0.66 Mtpy Fujian Meide plant and Zhejiang Satellite’s

0.45 Mtpy expansion are expected to start up in H2 18

• State-owned refiners are also starting up an estimated 3.7 Mtpy of alkylation units, which will reduce refinery supplies of

butane currently sold to standalone deep-processing units, increasing the need for imported supplies. So, Chinese buyers

will remain a key source of demand throughout 2018

• Middle Eastern supply alone will not be able to meet demand

India LPG import forecast (Million MT)

• Indian LPG demand remained near record levels in December 2017, with consumption rising by 45 thousand b/d y/y in Q4

17.

• 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

• Demand from autogas and the private sector are set to grow amidst favourable auto-fuel economics and a 13% decline in

GST tax for private companies

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

• Seaborne LPG imports into India were up 17.1% in 2017, from 10.1mm tons to 11.9mm tons

Global PDH & Petchems also fueling demand

21

Illustrative increase from Korean PDH Plant

• Korean market is saturated but saw a major increase in

demand in 2017 from a new PDH facility

• PDH importers require high purity propane, best sourced from

the US or Middle East

• This year could be sustained by the ramp-up of SK Advanced’s

PDH plant, stronger heating demand due to frigid temperatures

(one of the coldest Januarys on record for Korea) and a growing

preference for LPG cracking among petrochemical plants

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

• According to data from Japan LP Gas Association, LPG

requirements were driven by residential heating demand

for propane.

• The cold weather combined with petro-chem demand for

Butane picking up on opportunistic switching due to high

Naphtha prices demand growth could see further increase

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.

85%

2016

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 increased rates for neo-Panamax VLGCs by 29% in October of 2017. This equates to an

increase of ~$2.2/t. Currently, we estimate that 28% of traffic through the expanded canal is VLGCs, second only to

container ships at 54%. The increased fees, alongside increased competition from other sectors like LNG, 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

• On November 7, 2017, the Company refinanced a 2014-built VLGC, the Corsair, pursuant to a memorandum of

agreement and a bareboat charter agreement that valued the vessel at $65 million. We bareboat chartered the vessel

back for a period of 12 years, with a mandatory buyout in 2029 and purchase options from the 2nd anniversary of the

transaction onwards. 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.

• On January 31, 2018, the Company refinanced a 2015-built VLGC, the Concorde, pursuant to a memorandum of

agreement and a bareboat charter agreement that valued the vessel at $70 million. We bareboat chartered the vessel

back for a period of 13 years, with a mandatory buyout in 2031 and purchase options from the end of the 3rd anniversary

of the transaction onwards. The underlying interest rate is 4.9% and the underlying amortization profile is 17.3years.

The cash refinancing proceeds of $56.0 million were used to repay $35.1 million of the 2015 Debt Facility’s then

outstanding principal amount.

• On March 16, 2018, the Company refinanced a 2015-built VLGC, the Corvette, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement

and a bareboat charter agreement, or the Corvette Japanese Financing. The refinancing proceeds of $56.0 million were

used to repay $33.7 million of the 2015 Debt Facility’s then outstanding principal amount. Pursuant to the 2015 Debt

Facility Amendment and in conjunction with this repayment, $1.6 million of restricted cash was released under the 2015

Debt Facility. The remaining proceeds were, or will be, used to pay legal fees associated with this transaction and for

general corporate purposes.

• The Company announced that it expects to enter into new financing arrangements to repay all outstanding amounts under

the DNB Bridge Loan before the end of the quarter ending June 30, 2018.
