L.P. (the &#147;Partnership,&#148; &#147;CPLP&#148; or &#147;we&#148; / &#147;us&#148;) (NASDAQ: CPLP), an international owner of ocean-going vessels, today announced that it has agreed to acquire three 174,000 cubic meter (&#147;cbm&#148;) latest
generation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">X-DF</FONT> LNG carriers from CGC Operating Corp. (the &#147;Seller&#148;), for total consideration of $599.5&nbsp;million comprised of (i) $147.1&nbsp;million of cash on hand, (ii)&nbsp;the assumption of
the $427.4&nbsp;million of secured debt, (iii)&nbsp;the issuance of $15.0&nbsp;million of new common units of CPLP at a premium to the current trading unit price and (iv) $10.0&nbsp;million of unsecured, interest free seller financing. The three
vessels are the LNG/C Aristos I built in 2020, and the LNG/C Aristarchos and the LNG/C Aristidis I built in 2021, all three constructed at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (&#147;Hyundai&#148;). The LNG/C Aristos I and the LNG/C Aristarchos are
expected to be delivered to the Partnership by September&nbsp;15, while the LNG/C Aristidis I is expected to be delivered by the end of November 2021. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The LNG/C Aristos I and the LNG/C Aristidis I are under long-term time charters with BP Gas Marketing Limited (&#147;BP&#148;), which together with the first
two optional periods, expire in October 2027 and December 2027, respectively. In view of the structure of the BP charters, we believe that </P>

<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
the first two optional periods are highly likely to be exercised under most market conditions. BP holds additional options, which could extend the charter of the vessels to October 2032 and
December 2032, respectively. The LNG/C Aristarchos is under a long-term time charter with Cheniere Marketing International LLP (&#147;Cheniere&#148;), which expires in February 2025. Cheniere holds two <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-year</FONT>
options beyond that. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total contracted revenue for all three vessels under the charters is approximately $391.0&nbsp;million, the average remaining
charter duration is 5.6 years and average daily rate across all three vessels is approximately $67,630 per day. These figures are inclusive of the first two optional periods under the BP charters. This translates into an increase of approximately
86% in contracted revenues compared to the Partnership&#146;s current fleet, with an expected increase of the remaining charter duration to 4.6 years. The acquisition will also reduce the average fleet age from 10.4 years to 8.8 years. Importantly,
the LNG/C vessels are expected to be approximately 23% more energy efficient compared to the 2020 fleet average of CPLP in terms of their Annual Efficiency Ratio (&#147;AER&#148; &#150; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">g-CO2</FONT> /ton mile) and
are expected to further reduce the environmental footprint of the Partnership in terms of other greenhouse emissions, as their primary propulsion fuel is natural gas. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the transaction and consistent with the Partnership&#146;s growth strategy, the Partnership secured an option to acquire an additional
three <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">X-DF</FONT> LNG sister vessels at an average price of $207.7&nbsp;million per vessel with contracted revenues of approximately $429.0&nbsp;million (&#147;Optional Vessels&#148;) and an average daily rate across
all three vessels of approximately $70,650 per day. The Optional Vessels are all built in 2021 and are chartered to BP, Cheniere and Engie Energy Marketing Singapore Pte Ltd with a remaining charter duration of 6.3 years, which includes in the case
of the BP time charter the first two optional periods. The purchase option may be exercised individually as to any Optional Vessel at any time on or prior to November&nbsp;1, 2021. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Partnership has also obtained from Capital Maritime&nbsp;&amp; Trading Corp. (&#147;CMTC&#148;) a right of first offer on six vessels (&#147;ROFO
Vessels&#148;) comprising three 13,278 TEU eco container vessels with a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-year</FONT> charter to Hapag Lloyd Aktiengesellschaft and expected delivery between October 2022 and May 2023, and three LNG/C vessels with

</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are very pleased to have concluded this transformative transaction for the Partnership with the acquisition of these three, brand new, high
specification LNG carriers at a time, when the LNG market is exhibiting strong long-term fundamentals. The acquisition is transformative across all metrics, as it is expected to be highly accretive to our distributable cash flow and earnings per
unit, to renew the Partnership&#146;s fleet and replenish its earnings capacity, to enhance our cash flow visibility and diversify our customer base with investment grade counterparties. At the same time, it is an emphatic step towards reducing the
environmental footprint of the Partnership and being part of the transition to carbon neutral shipping.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Moreover, we have managed to complete
this transaction with minimal use of new equity, while securing for the Partnership additional growth opportunities through the Optional Vessels and ROFO Vessels, providing visibility of a robust pipeline of high-quality growth for the Partnership.
In the coming months, as we seek to raise external capital to potentially execute on these growth opportunities, our primary focus will continue to be on accretion to distributable cash flow per unit and earnings per unit recognizing the discrepancy
between our market equity valuation and our views on the intrinsic value and earnings potential of the Partnership.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Finally, the

have an outstanding principal amount of $123.0&nbsp;million in November 2021, when this vessel is expected to be delivered to the Partnership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Quarterly
principal repayments under the BOC lease amount to $3.2&nbsp;million and $3.1&nbsp;million decreasing to $2.4&nbsp;million and $2.3&nbsp;million from the fourth quarter of 2023 for the LNG/C Aristos I and the second quarter of 2024 for the LNG/C
Aristarchos respectively. At maturity on October 2027 and May 2028, the lease provides for a purchase obligation to acquire each vessel at the predetermined price of $83.4&nbsp;million and $83.5&nbsp;million respectively. In addition, the lease
agreement includes various purchase options commencing from the first-year anniversary of the lease. The BOC lease bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.70%. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The ING facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50%. Quarterly principal repayments amount to $2.4&nbsp;million through the fourth quarter of
2023, then decreasing to $1.7&nbsp;million. A balloon payment of $74.1&nbsp;million is payable together with the final quarterly installment in December 2027. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To be noted, the $15.0&nbsp;million of new common units to be issued as part of the consideration will be priced for purposes of the transaction at a 5%
premium to the Volume Weighted Average Price of the common units over the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">90-trading</FONT> day period ending two trading days prior to the applicable closing, but at a price of not less than $13.00 per common unit.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Seller financing component of the consideration will be unsecured, interest free and not required to be repaid for twelve months from the delivery of
the vessels. </P>
