Golar Power transaction closes

HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We refer to the press release dated June 20, 2016 which announced the launch of Golar Power, a 50/50 partnership with Stonepeak Ltd.

The transaction completed on July 6. Golar Power has received the proceeds of a $100 million preferred note from Stonepeak and Golar LNG Limited has received $116 million in respect of its sale of 50% of the shares in Golar Power. After settlement of transaction related fees and Golar's contribution to the working capital of Golar Power, approximately $104 million will be added to Golar LNG Limited's liquidity.

Golar Power expects to execute contracts for the conversion of its first LNG carrier to a FSRU shortly.
