Item 1. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release of Golar LNG Limited
(the "Company"), dated February 19, 2007.
Exhibit 99.1
Golar LNG Sells Newbuilding
Golar LNG is pleased to announce an agreement to sell its existing interest in
new building DSME hull number 2244 to Maran Gas for the gross consideration of
approximately $92.5 million, this represents an implicit vessel price of $201
million.
Golar estimates that its book cost of investment in this vessel at completion of
the sale will be approximately $51.5 million and this transaction therefore
represents a significant return on investment for shareholders.
In view of the fact that the Company has a number of open vessels exposed to the
spot market and the Company's investment plans in respect of its various LNG
infrastructure projects, this transaction is seen as an opportunity to
strengthen the Company's balance sheet as well as realize a significant profit
whilst not significantly reducing the Company's future business potential.
