Golar LNG Limited (the “Company”) recently received a commitment from Citibank, N.A. to finance all or a portion of the remainder of the amounts outstanding under its convertible bonds through a new term loan credit facility of up to $150 million, contingent upon, among other things, the consummation of an offering of the Company’s common shares for at least $100 million of net proceeds, and which facility would have a term of three years, an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread, be secured by a specified number of the Company’s common units in Golar LNG Partners LP, and in certain cases, cash or cash equivalents, and be available for a single drawdown during a period that extends through to the maturity of its existing convertible bonds. The term loan credit facility remains subject to negotiation and execution of operative documents, including the credit agreement and security documents, each of which will include conditions, representations and warranties, covenants (including financial covenants and loan to value requirements), mandatory prepayment events, facility adjustment events, events of default and other provisions customary for a facility of this nature.

On November 14, 2016 the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
