We refer to the press release issued by Golar LNG Limited (the Company)
on December 23, 2009 regarding Golar LNG Energy Limited ("Golar Energy") shares.
The Companys shares will be trading ex-dividend on January 5, 2010. The record date is January 7, 2010.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are
based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including the Company management's examination of historical operating
trends. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties
and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond
its control, the Company cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish
these expectations, beliefs or intentions.
Included among the factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this press release are the following: inability of the Company to obtain financing for the new building vessels at all or on favourable terms; changes in demand; a material decline or prolonged weakness in rates for LNG carriers; political events affecting production in areas in which natural gas is produced and demand for natural gas in areas to which our vessels deliver; changes in demand for natural gas generally or in particular regions; changes in the financial stability of our major customers; adoption of new rules and regulations applicable to LNG carriers and FSRU's; actions taken by regulatory authorities that may prohibit the access of LNG carriers or FSRU's to various ports; our inability to achieve successful utilisation of our expanded fleet and inability to expand beyond the carriage of LNG; increases in costs including: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs and maintenance; changes in general domestic and international political conditions; the current turmoil in the global financial markets and deterioration thereof; changes in applicable maintenance or regulatory standards that could affect our anticipated dry-docking or maintenance and repair costs; our ability to timely complete our FSRU conversions; failure of shipyards to comply with delivery schedules on a timely basis and other factors listed from time to time in registration statements and reports that we have filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Registration Statement on Form 20-F and subsequent announcements and reports. Nothing contained in this press release shall constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
