The executed EPC contract with General Electric, which makes up approximately 80% of the project cost, has been structured on a non-recourse basis to the sponsors Golar Power and Ebrasil with all liabilities limited to the project level (CELSE). &#160;</p><p align="justify">Located near Aracaju, the state capital of Sergipe, the 1,516 megawatt power station will be the largest thermal power station in South America. The project will supplement hydropower during dry seasons and help to meet growing demand for electricity in the region.&#160; Capital expenditure for the power station and terminal including taxes and financing costs is estimated at BRL4.3 billion, equal to US$1.3 billion at current exchange rates. Scheduled to deliver power to 26 committed off-takers for 25 years from 2020 in accordance with previously executed PPA contracts awarded by the Brazilian government in 2015, the power project will generate a projected annual EBITDA of BRL1.1 billion based on no dispatch with further upside based on dispatch. Payments under the executed PPA are inflation indexed and provide for pass through changes in commodity prices to the PPA counterparties. </p><p align="justify">In connection with the Sergipe FID, Golar Power has entered into an Agreement to charter Golar Nanook, the November 2017 delivering new-build FSRU, for 25 years. The annual EBITDA contribution for Golar Power is currently projected to be US$39 million with upside potential for Golar Power from FSRU capacity not utilised by the Sergipe power plant.</p><p align="justify">Golar Power has also increased its ownership in the Sergipe Project from 25% to 50%. The final price to be paid for the shares will depend on the performance of the project and the structure includes an option, which if exercised, limits the price to US$50 million. As Golar Power had previously committed to finance the selling shareholders' equity contribution in the project, the ownership uplift is expected to have a limited cash impact on Golar Power during construction.&#160; The total equity funding from Golar Power remains unchanged at an expected US$165 million.</p><p align="justify">Golar LNG Limited has a 50% ownership interest in Golar Power. The remaining 50% is held by Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners. Golar Power will own 50% of the Sergipe project and 100% of the associated FSRU.</p><p align="justify">Golar Power CEO Eduardo Antonello commented "We are very enthusiastic with the FID of Porto de Sergipe and fully committed to deliver the plant and terminal in accordance with the original budget and schedule. The project shows very solid economics and provides a strong financial foundation for Golar Power. Through this project, Golar Power is developing a very robust and replicable structure to enable the most comprehensive, cost-efficient and flexible integrated gas-to-power solutions globally. We see a huge market to develop cheaper and cleaner energy solutions."</p><p><b>FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS</b><br>This press release contains certain forward-looking statements concerning future events and Golar's operations, performance and financial condition.
