We present the discovery of a substellar companion to the primary host lens in the microlensing event MOA-2012-BLG-006. The companion-to-host mass ratio is 0.016, corresponding to a companion mass of \(\approx8~M_{\rm Jup} (M_*/0.5M_\odot)\). Thus, the companion is either a high-mass giant planet or a low-mass brown dwarf, depending on the mass of...
