ATHENS, Greece June 12, 2014 - Dynagas LNG Partners LP (Dynagas Partners) (NASDAQ: DLNG) announced today that it has priced its previously announced underwritten public offering of 4,800,000 common units representing limited partner interests at $22.79 per common unit.

Dynagas Partners intends to fund the balance of the purchase with a new $340 million senior secured revolving credit facility which Dynagas Partners plans to enter following the completion of this offering. The new $340 million senior secured revolving credit facility will also be used to refinance $214.1 million currently outstanding under Dynagas Partners existing senior secured revolving credit facility. In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, the net proceeds from this offering will be used for general partnership purposes.

Forward-Looking Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, projects, forecasts, may, should and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our 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 which 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. These forward-looking statements, which include, among other things, the proposed public offering of common units and the entry into the proposed senior secured credit facility, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the outcome to be materially different, including Dynagas Partners not completing the offering or the Acquisition. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
