东芝将在美LNG业务出售给道达尔

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气9月2日报道，日本东芝公司完成了从美国液化天然气业务的退出。

该公司周一表示，已与法国巨头道达尔在新加坡的子公司道达尔亚洲天然气电力公司就东芝美国液化天然气公司的全部股份达成了购并销售协议。

今年6月，东芝和道达尔签署了这项协议，同意东芝集团与LNG业务相关的所有合同，要么全部转让给道达尔，要么全部取消，这笔资金将为东芝美国液化天然气公司与自由港液化天然气公司签订的液化收费协议所规定的所有义务提供替代担保，以取代东芝当时的现有担保。

东芝表示，随着所有必要要求和条件的完成，包括担保解除，转让已经完成。

在转让完成后，东芝美国液化天然气公司已经从东芝集团中分离出来，东芝将在2019财年(截止2020年3月31日)的合并财务报表中计入约900亿日元(8.469亿美元)的相关支出。

Toshiba closes U.S. LNG business sale to Total

Japan’s Toshiba Corporation completed its withdrawal from the liquefied natural gas business in the United States.

The company said on Monday it has concluded the purchase and sales agreement with Total Gas & Power Asia, a Singapore-based unit of the French giant Total, for all the shares of Toshiba America LNG Corporation.

When signing the deal in June, Toshiba and Total also agreed that all the contracts related to the LNG business entered into by Toshiba Group would either be transferred to Total or canceled and that Total would provide a substitute guarantee to replace Toshiba’s then-existing guarantee for all of the Toshiba America LNG’s obligations under a liquefaction tolling agreement with Freeport LNG Liquefaction 3.

With the completion of all necessary requirements and conditions including the guarantee release, the transfer has been completed, Toshiba said.

Following the completion of the transfer, Toshiba America LNG has been deconsolidated from Toshiba Group, and Toshiba will record a loss including related expenses of approximately 90 billion yen ($846.9 million) in its consolidated business financials of the fiscal year 2019, ending March 31, 2020.
