Anti Hoarding Mechanism

8

Anti hoarding mechanism: Background

Dragon granted exemption from regulated TPA February 2005− Ofgem granted exemption on understanding that Dragon would be “providing facilities for

secondary trading and anti-hoarding mechanisms”

BG and Petronas as Primary Shippers have right to sell capacity to third parties (secondary trading)

A “last resort” product - only needed if Primary Shippers not using capacity or bilateral secondary trading negotiations not concluded

Primary Shippers involvement is critical given need to empty storage tanks

Dragon and the Primary Shippers have developed an effective anti hoarding mechanism− Worked with regulatory consultants to ensure best practice

9

Anti hoarding mechanism: Product Design

FIRM PRODUCT: Consisting of berth slot with equivalent storage and send out− Each Primary Shipper (BG or Petronas) responsible for managing and auctioning their own berth

slots

BILATERAL CONTRACT: Agreement between relevant Primary Shipper (BG or Petronas) and third party, avoids 3 way agreement with Dragon.

SPACE: Primary Shipper will ensure there is sufficient space in the tank to accept a cargo

DELIVERY: Primary Shipper will take delivery of LNG at the import terminal

REDELIVERY: Gas will be redelivered to the third party customer at the NBP on a flat basis over a 10 day period after the vessel has completed offloading− Third party does not need to book UK entry capacity − Simple pass through of transport related charges

− Third Party applicants can become qualified bidders with a Primary Shipper at any time subject to meeting the Primary Shipper’s criteria (e.g. credit, vessel vetting)

− Information to start qualification process will be available on website

AUCTION: Qualified Bidders will be notified of an auction at least 12 days before the slot− Timetable varies according to business days− Auction specific details including timetable, reserve price, etc. notified to Qualified Bidders− Each Primary Shipper sets the reserve price for its slots; this takes into account the market value

of the slot and the cost of emptying tanks
