Flex LNG Ltd. ("Flex LNG" or the "Company") (NYSE/OSE: FLNG) is pleased to
announce the signing and successful completion of the $175 million JOLCO lease
financing for the vessel Flex Courageous. The refinancing generated net proceeds
of approximately $42 million, extends debt maturity to 2035 and will
significantly reduce the cost of debt by ~1.5% p.a.

The refinancing of Flex Courageous follows the announcement of up to 10 years of
additional backlog for the vessel. This JOLCO lease marks the first of three
planned vessel refinancings under the Balance Sheet Optimization Program 3.0,
introduced in the Q1-2025 presentation after securing up to 37 years of combined
contract backlog across the three vessels.

The Company remains on track to complete the refinancing of Flex Resolute and
Flex Constellation in the second half of 2025. The combined refinancing efforts
are expected to release $120 million in net proceeds, while also extending debt
maturities and reducing the overall cost of debt.

At the end of Q1-2025, Flex LNG held a cash balance of $410 million. The
proceeds from this transaction further support the Company's strong liquidity
position, financial flexibility at highly attractive terms and supported by the
substantial charter backlog.

Knut Traaholt, CFO of Flex LNG Management AS, commented:

"We are pleased to have completed our first refinancing of 2025 at very
attractive terms. We sincerely appreciate the continued trust and support from
our banking partners and lease providers. With this transaction completed, we
now turn our attention to the planned refinancings of Flex Resolute and Flex
Constellation, continuing our efforts to further strengthen Flex LNG's financial
platform."
