* The Hilli was sold to Golar Hilli Corporation prior to the commencement of her conversion to a FLNG. Keppel Shipyard Limited and Black & Veatch hold the remaining 10% and 1% interest, respectively, in the issued share capital of Golar Hilli Corporation.

** In September 2015, Golar acquired the remaining 40% interest in Golar Wilhelmsen Management AS. In December 2015, the company was renamed Golar Management Norway AS (or "GMN").

*** The above table excludes mention of the lessor variable interest entities (''lessor VIEs'') that we have leased vessels from under finance leases. The lessor VIEs are wholly-owned, newly formed special purpose vehicles ("SPVs") of financial institutions. While we do not hold any equity investments in these SPVs, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of these lessor VIEs and accordingly have consolidated these entities into our financial results. Refer to note 4 for additional detail.
