(a)    Net proceeds received for the disposal of 50% in Golar Power
The table below shows the purchase consideration we received for the disposal of a 50% interest in the ordinary share capital in Golar Power that was acquired by Stonepeak:

Consideration received from Stonepeak

Less: Fee paid in relation to the transaction (see note 31)
(3,000
)
Net proceeds
113,000


(b)    Fair value of the retained investment in Golar Power
The fair value of our retained investment, being the 50% interest in the ordinary share capital in Golar Power has been recorded at $116 million. The fair value was determined with reference to the consideration of $116 million we received from Stonepeak pertaining to the 50% ordinary share capital interest they acquired. Thus given that this was negotiated between third parties, this is representative of fair value.
(c)    Fair value of counter guarantees from Golar Power
A number of counter guarantees were entered into by Golar Power for the benefit of Golar LNG, specifically to reimburse Golar for the historic legacy debt guarantees discussed in (e) below. In aggregate, based on the agreed premiums the fair value of these counter guarantees were calculated as $3.7 million.

The table below shows the underlying carrying value of Golar Powers' net assets at the deconsolidation date:
