Golar LNG Limited announces strategic review to maximize stakeholder value and appoints Goldman Sachs as financial advisor

Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ: GLNG) ("Golar" or the "Company") today announced its

Board of Directors has initiated a formal process to evaluate strategic

alternatives for the Company. As previewed on the 4(th) Quarter 2025 results,

this review aims to accelerate the FLNG growth pipeline and maximize shareholder

value, reflecting Golar's successful transition into a high-growth, pure-play

Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) company. To support this process, the

Company has appointed Goldman Sachs International as its financial advisor.

The strategic review will include a comprehensive evaluation of the Company's

platform, including its industry-leading FLNG technology, long-term contract

backlog, and growth pipeline. Potential alternatives to be explored include, but

are not limited to, a sale of the Company, a merger or other business

combination, divestiture of assets, or further optimization of the corporate

structure. The Company will target solutions that unlock shareholder value and

enable faster roll-out of Golar's FLNG growth pipeline.

The Company notes there is no set timetable for the conclusion of this strategic

review, and there can be no assurance that the process will result in any

specific transaction or other strategic outcome. The company will provide no

additional comment or commentary until the review is completed.
