Vltava Fund, in its Q4 2021 investor letter, mentioned Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP) and discussed its stance on the firm. Teekay LNG Partners L.P. is a Bermuda-based marine energy transportation, storage & production company with a $1.4 billion market capitalization.

Here is what Vltava Fund has to say about Teekay LNG Partners L.P. in its Q4 2021 investor letter:
“In the final quarter of the year, we sold quite against our will both common and preference shares of Teekay LNG Partners (TGP). I say against our will because in January TGP will be taken over by a private equity fund and its shares will be withdrawn from trading on a stock exchange. Transactions of this sort happen from time to time, and this is nothing unusual. What we find disagreeable in this case is the price at which the takeover is taking place. In our opinion, the USD 17 price is far below the value and potential of the company, and we are racking our brains to understand what motivated the main shareholder, who controlled more than 40% of TGP shares, to sell at such a price. TGP was a solidly profitable investment for us. Nevertheless, we had expected to earn much more from it through coming years. Fortunately, it is not a problem at the moment to find a good place in the market for the cash obtained from the sale of TGP.”
