Favorable environment to substantially grow Chart’s existing LNG business with potential new

opportunities in marine and industrial applications

Energy Bill currently before Congress could significantly boost natural gas vehicle (NGV)

adoption in U.S., driving a multi-year build-out of LNG production, storage and distribution

infrastructure and creating additional market opportunities for Chart

China has already begun investing in substantial NGV fueling infrastructure resulting in

recent order activity
