Hamilton, Bermuda - January 27, 2015 Golar LNG Partners LP (NASDAQ: GMLP) announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash distribution with respect to the quarter ended December 31, 2014 of $0.5625 per unit. This represents an increase of $0.015 per unit, or approximately 2.7%, from the third quarter 2014 distribution. This cash distribution will be paid on February 13, 2015 to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 5, 2015. In December 2014, in the Partnership's announcement of the acquisition of the Golar Eskimo, the Partnership stated that its management intended to recommend to the Partnership's board an increase in the Partnership's quarterly cash distribution of between $0.0275 and $0.0325 (or an annualized increase of between $0.11 and $0.13) for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The Partnership's board has however decided to approve an earlier commencement of $0.015 of the increase for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, with the balance of the increase to be considered by the board for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The decision to advance part of the distribution is supported by anticipated strong distribution coverage for the fourth quarter of 2014. Any such further distribution increase would be conditioned upon, among other things, the commencement of the Golar Eskimo's operations, the approval of such increase by the board and the absence of any material adverse developments or potentially attractive opportunities that would make such an increase inadvisable.
