Golar LNG has finalized terms on a $500 million senior unsecured notes offering, locking in a 7.5% coupon with settlement expected October 8, 2026. The pricing comes just three days after the company announced fixed income investor meetings and follows a $600 million revolving credit facility closed in August. The proceeds strengthen liquidity at a time when the company has disclosed a going concern risk tied to funding its FLNG growth program, including a fourth FLNG unit ordered for approximately $2.45 billion.
