That age in the LMC could possibly make it one of the younger globulars. The older ones in the Milky Way formed quicker due to larger concentrated mass and a more "volatile" environment (everything was pretty hectic some 12 Gyrs ago).
Many of the younger globulars within the Milky Way are captured for this same reason; galactic accretion!
