* The commercial loan tranche matures earlier of the two dates, with the remaining balancing maturing at the latter date.
** This represents the total loan facilities drawn down by subsidiaries of ICBC and by CCBFL which we consider as VIEs. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, as we are expected to absorb the majority of the VIEs’ losses and residual gains associated with the vessels sold and leased backed from them. Accordingly, these VIEs and their related loan facilities are consolidated in our results. In consolidating these VIEs, on a quarterly basis, we must make assumptions regarding (i) the debt amortization profile; (ii) the interest rate to be applied against the VIEs’ debt principal; and (iii) the VIE’s application of cash receipts. Our estimates are therefore dependent upon the timeliness of receipt and accuracy of financial information provided by these lessor VIE entities. Upon receipt of the audited financial statements of the lessor VIEs, we will make a true-up adjustment for any material differences.

* In March 2016, we completed the refinancing of the Golar Seal, which provided approximately $50 million excess cash to liquidity.
** In July 2016, we closed the transaction forming the 50/50 joint venture, Golar Power, with investment vehicles affiliated with the private equity firm Stonepeak, and, as part of the transaction, we deconsolidated the net assets relating to the Golar Celsius and Golar Penguin (see note 7). The Golar Celsius and Golar Penguin debts were assumed by Golar Power, however we continue to guarantee this debt.
*** In March 2014, we sold the Golar Igloo to Golar Partners. The Golar Igloo debt of $161.3 million was assumed by Golar Partners.
**** In January 2015, we completed the sale of our interests in the companies that own and operate the Golar Eskimo to Golar Partners. The adjusted consideration for the sale was $388.8 million less Golar Partners’ assumption of the Golar Eskimo debt (see note 6).
