$82.3 million of shipyard and engineering costs, including long-lead items, incurred in connection with the pre-redeployment refurbishment project of FLNG Hilli in preparation for her 20-year bareboat charter agreement with SESA commencing in 2027 (December 31, 2025: $38.5 million);

(3) Included in “Other” as of June 30, 2026 are:
$26.6 million of capitalized initial direct costs in connection with securing the FLNG Hilli and FLNG Esperanza bareboat charter agreements with SESA. These costs resulted from a January 2026 settlement agreement relating to success-based fees payable to third-party consultants in connection with our Latin America FLNG business development. The settlement agreement became effective upon satisfaction of the related conditions precedent in April 2026. The settlement consideration consisted of a $10.0 million cash payment and 750,000 RSUs, of which 300,000 RSUs amounting to $16.6 million vested upon grant. The final vesting milestone for the remaining RSUs is the COD for the two FLNGs to operate in Argentina, thereby aligning the consultants’ interests with our objective of achieving COD on schedule;
$5.0 million investment in pooled investment fund entity, measured at cost; and
$4.5 million prepaid insurance relating to FLNG Esperanza (December 31, 2025: $2.4 million).
