Golar Bear refinancing
In June 2020, we refinanced the Golar Bear facility and concurrently entered into an agreement to bareboat charter the vessel with AVIC for $110.0 million and drawdown $100.0 million. The facility has a term of seven years and bears a fixed interest rate of 4.64%.

Margin loan refinancing

In March 2020, the unit price of Golar Partners common units which we own and which are pledged as security for the Margin Loan facility, fell below a defined threshold and triggered a mandatory prepayment option for the lenders. The lenders agreed to amend the existing terms of the Margin Loan facility rather than exercise that option. We prepaid a portion of the facility and released the associated restricted cash, reducing the principal to $30.0 million from $100.0 million and removed the mandatory prepayment clause. The facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.95%.

Golar Viking facility

In January 2020, we refinanced the Golar Viking facility and concurrently entered into an agreement to bareboat charter the vessel with CSSC and drawdown $56.0 million. During the nine months period ended September 30, 2020, we have further drawdown $60.2 million from the $75.0 million conversion tranche facility.
