Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1 — GENERAL

Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a Houston-based company that is developing and plans to operate a portfolio of natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”), related pipelines and upstream natural gas assets (collectively referred to as the “Business”). The Driftwood terminal and related pipelines are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project.”

The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Tellurian” and the “Company” as used in this report refer collectively to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity associated with Tellurian Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have historically generated losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to cover our future operating costs and obligations as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. To date, the Company has been meeting its liquidity needs primarily from cash on hand and the combined proceeds generated by debt and equity issuances, upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering programs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $59.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.7 million of accounts receivable, which we expect will not be sufficient to satisfy its obligations, fund its working capital needs and allow it to remain compliant with debt covenants and liquidity thresholds for twelve months after the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The analysis used to determine the Company's ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash sources that management expects to be available within the next twelve months but are outside of the Company's direct control.

The Company plans to mitigate these conditions by generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions, managing certain operating and overhead costs, refinancing the Replacement Notes, offering equity interests in the Driftwood Project and, if necessary, exploring opportunities to monetize all or a portion of its upstream natural gas assets (collectively “Management’s Plans”). The Company's ability to effectively implement Management’s Plans, should the Company choose to do so, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with market demand for our equity and debt securities, commodity prices and other factors affecting natural gas markets. As of the date of this filing, Management’s Plans have not been implemented to alleviate the conditions which raise substantial doubt. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Amortization of the borrowings’ premium and DFC is a component of Interest expense, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We amortized approximately $1.3 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we amortized approximately $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025 (Extinguished)

On June 3, 2022, we issued and sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due May 1, 2025 (the “Extinguished Convertible Notes”). Net proceeds from the Extinguished Convertible Notes were approximately $488.7 million after deducting fees and expenses. The Extinguished Convertible Notes had quarterly interest payments due on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year and on the maturity date. DFC of approximately $11.5 million were capitalized.

Partial Redemption

On March 27, 2023, the holder of the Extinguished Convertible Notes delivered to the Company notice to redeem $166.7 million of the initial principal amount of the Extinguished Convertible Notes at par, plus accrued interest (the “Redemption Amount”). On March 28, 2023, the Company irrevocably deposited the Redemption Amount of approximately $169.1 million in order to satisfy the redemption and retirement of $166.7 million principal amount of the Extinguished Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest. As a result of paying the Redemption Amount prior to the Extinguished Convertible Notes’ contractual maturity, the Company wrote off approximately $2.8 million of prorated unamortized DFC, which was recognized within Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Extinguishment

On August 15, 2023, we issued and sold in a private placement $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) and approximately $83.3 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Convertible Notes”) due October 1, 2025 (collectively the “Replacement Notes”). The issuance of the Replacement Notes to the holder of the Extinguished Convertible Notes resulted in the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s outstanding principal repayment obligation under the Extinguished Convertible Notes. As a result, the Company recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $29.5 million in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Senior Secured Notes due 2025

The Senior Notes have quarterly interest payments in cash due on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing in October 2023. DFC of approximately $20.1 million were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. Holders of the Senior Notes may force the Company to redeem the applicable Senior Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change or (ii) an event of default. On or after October 1, 2024, the holders of the Senior Notes may redeem up to the entire principal amount of the Senior Notes for a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s

liquidity falls below (a) $200.0 million, if the Secured Convertible Notes are not outstanding at such time, or (b) $250.0 million, if any of the Secured Convertible Notes are outstanding at such time. The Company may provide written notice to each holder of the Senior Notes calling all of such holder’s Senior Notes for redemption for a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Optional Redemption”).

Our borrowing obligations under the Senior Notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in Tellurian Production Holdings LLC (“Tellurian Production Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian Inc. Tellurian Production Holdings owns all of the Company’s upstream natural gas assets described in Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Senior Notes contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we remained in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $231.2 million. The Level 3 fair value was estimated based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including our stock price and inputs that are not observable in the market.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025

The Secured Convertible Notes have quarterly interest payments in cash due on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing in October 2023. The holders of the Secured Convertible Notes have the right to convert the notes into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 512.8205 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.95 per share of common stock) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company will force the holders of the Secured Convertible Notes to convert all of the notes if the trading price of our common stock closes above 300% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days and certain other equity conditions are satisfied. Holders of the Secured Convertible Notes may force the Company to redeem the applicable Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change or (ii) an event of default. On or after October 1, 2024, the holders of the Secured Convertible Notes may redeem up to the entire principal amount of the notes for a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s liquidity falls below (a) $75.0 million, if the Senior Notes are not outstanding at such time, or (b) $250.0 million, if any of the Senior Notes are outstanding at such time.

Our borrowing obligations under the Secured Convertible Notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in Tellurian Production Holdings and mortgages of the material real property oil and gas assets of Tellurian Production Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (together, the “Collateral”). Tellurian Production Holdings owns all of the Company’s upstream natural gas assets described in Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Collateral will be removed as a secured obligation under the Secured Convertible Notes if the Senior Notes are no longer outstanding. The Secured Convertible Notes contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we remained in compliance with all covenants under the Secured Convertible Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Secured Convertible Notes was approximately $82.1 million. The Level 3 fair value was estimated based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including our stock price and inputs that are not observable in the market.

Replacement Notes Embedded Derivatives

As part of the issuance of the Replacement Notes, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate total of 25.7 million shares of its common stock (the “Share Coupon”) to the holders of the Replacement Notes. The Share Coupon is payable quarterly on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing on or before October 2023. To the extent that the average daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock of the Company during each quarter is less than $1.35, the Company will pay a cash amount equal to that difference multiplied by the number of shares issuable for that quarter (the “Cash Shortfall Payments”). Upon any retirement, redemption, or conversion of the Replacement Notes, the Company will issue any and all unpaid Share Coupon plus Cash Shortfall Payments, as applicable (the “Make Whole”).

The Company evaluated the potential embedded features within the Replacement Notes host contracts and determined that the Share Coupon, the Cash Shortfall Payments and the Make Whole embedded features required bifurcation as a single unit of account from the Replacement Notes and accounted for them separately at fair value. See Note 8, Financial Instruments, for more information on the fair value measurement of the Replacement Notes embedded derivatives.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028

On November 10, 2021, we sold in a registered public offering $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due November 30, 2028 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). Net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Notes were approximately $47.5 million after deducting fees. The underwriter was granted an option to purchase up to an additional $7.5 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes within 30 days. On December 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option and purchased an additional $6.5 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes resulting in net proceeds of approximately

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

$6.2 million after deducting fees. The Senior Unsecured Notes have quarterly interest payments due on January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year and on the maturity date. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are listed and trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “TELZ,” and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2023, the closing market price was $16.60 per Senior Unsecured Note.

At-the-Market Debt Offering Program

On December 17, 2021, we entered into an at-the-market debt offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time on the NYSE American, up to an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of additional Senior Unsecured Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold approximately $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of additional Senior Unsecured Notes for total proceeds of approximately $1.1 million after fees and commissions under our at-the-market debt offering program. On December 30, 2022, we terminated the at-the-market debt offering program.

NOTE 8 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Natural Gas Financial Instruments

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from commodity price risk due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The Company may use natural gas financial futures and option contracts to economically hedge the commodity price risks associated with a portion of our expected natural gas production. As of September 30, 2023, there were no open natural gas financial instrument positions.

LNG Financial Futures

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into LNG financial futures contracts to reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and to achieve more predictable cash flows relative to two LNG cargos that we were committed to purchase from and sell to unrelated third-party LNG merchants in the normal course of business in January and April 2022. As of September 30, 2023, there were no open LNG financial instrument positions.

Contingent Consideration

On August 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of certain natural gas assets in the Haynesville Shale basin (the “Asset Acquisition”). The Asset Acquisition included cash consideration payable to the sellers of $7.5 million (the “Contingent Consideration”) if the average NYMEX Henry Hub gas price for the contract delivery months beginning with August 2022 through March 2023 exceeded a specific threshold (the “Threshold”) per MMBtu. The Threshold was not met and, therefore, the Company is not obligated to pay the Contingent Consideration.

Embedded Derivatives

We evaluate embedded features within a host contract to determine whether they are embedded derivatives that should be bifurcated and carried separately at fair value. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As described in Note 7, Borrowings, we determined that the Replacement Notes contained embedded features which required bifurcation from the host contracts.

The following table presents the classification of the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

LNG financial futures	—		—
Current liabilities:
Contingent Consideration	—		118
Embedded derivatives	13,268		—
Long-term liabilities:
Embedded derivatives	22,496		—

The Company’s natural gas financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active exchange markets as of the balance sheet date and are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value of the Company’s embedded derivatives as of September 30, 2023 was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Trade Finance Credit Line

On July 19, 2021, we entered into an uncommitted trade finance credit line for up to $30.0 million that is intended to finance the purchase of LNG cargos for ultimate resale in the normal course of business. On December 7, 2021, the uncommitted trade finance credit line was amended and increased to $150.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, no amounts were drawn under this credit line.

Minimum Volume Commitments

The Company is subject to gas gathering commitments with unrelated companies which provide dedicated gathering capacity for a portion of the Upstream segment’s Haynesville Shale future natural gas production. The gas gathering agreements may require us to make deficiency payments to the extent the Company does not meet the minimum volume commitments per the terms of each contract. The estimated minimum volume deficiency liability as of September 30, 2023 is approximately $1.9 million.

NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At-the-Market Equity Offering Programs

We maintain at-the-market equity offering programs pursuant to which we sell shares of our common stock from time to time on the NYSE American. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 67.7 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs for net proceeds of approximately $299.7 million. On December 30, 2022, we terminated the Company’s then-existing at-the-market equity offering programs.

On December 30, 2022, we entered into a new at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its common stock from time to time on the NYSE American for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $500.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 36.3 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $46.2 million. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for further information.

Preferred Stock

In March 2018, we entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with BDC Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC (“Bechtel Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bechtel Energy Inc., pursuant to which we sold to Bechtel Holdings approximately 6.1 million shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have dividend rights but do have a liquidation preference over holders of our common stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time after “Substantial Completion” of “Project 1,” each as defined in and pursuant to the LSTK EPC Agreement for the Driftwood LNG Phase 1 Liquefaction Facility, dated as of November 10, 2017, or at any time after March 21, 2028, we have the right to cause all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Preferred Stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

NOTE 11 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have granted restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “Restricted Stock”), as well as unrestricted stock and stock options, to employees, directors and outside consultants under the Tellurian Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Tellurian Investments Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Tellurian common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan is 40 million shares of common stock, and no further awards can be made under the Legacy Plan.

Upon the vesting of restricted stock, shares of common stock will be released to the grantee. Upon the vesting of restricted stock units, the units will be converted into either cash, stock, or a combination thereof. As of September 30, 2023, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately 26.2 million shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock outstanding, of which approximately 14.9 million shares will vest entirely at FID, as defined in the award agreements, and approximately 10.8 million shares will vest in one-third increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID. The remaining shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock, totaling approximately 0.5 million shares, will vest based on other criteria. As of September 30, 2023, no expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.

As of September 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $172.6 million. Further, approximately 26.2 million shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock, as well as approximately 10.9 million stock options outstanding, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expenses as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Share-based compensation expense	$	196	$	1,034	$	1,375	$	2,753

NOTE 12 — INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

On November 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Tellurian Incentive Compensation Program (the “Incentive Compensation Program” or “ICP”). The ICP allows the Company to award short-term and long-term performance and service-based incentive compensation to full-time employees. ICP awards may be earned with respect to each calendar year and are determined based on guidelines established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Long-term incentive awards

Long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards under the ICP were granted in January 2022 in the form of “tracking units,” at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2021 LTI Awards”). Each such tracking unit has a value equal to one share of Tellurian common stock and entitles the grantee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the vesting date. These tracking units will vest in three equal tranches at the grant date and the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. Non-vested 2021 LTI Awards as of September 30, 2023 and awards granted during the period were as follows:

LTI awards under the ICP were granted in February 2023 in the form of “tracking units,” at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2022 LTI Awards”). Each such tracking unit has a value equal to one share of Tellurian common stock and entitles the grantee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the vesting date. These tracking units will vest in three equal tranches at the grant date and the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.

Non-vested 2022 LTI Awards as of September 30, 2023 and awards granted during the period were as follows:

	Number of Tracking Units (in thousands)	Price per Tracking Unit

Vested	(4,934)	1.63
Forfeited	(574)	1.48
Unvested balance at September 30, 2023	9,294	$	1.16

We recognize compensation expense for awards with graded vesting schedules over the requisite service periods for each separately vesting portion of the award as if each award was in substance multiple awards. Compensation expense for the first tranche of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards that vested at the grant date was recognized over the performance period when it was probable that the performance condition was achieved. Compensation expense for the second and third tranches of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation expense for unvested tracking units is subsequently adjusted each reporting period to reflect the estimated payout levels based on changes in the Company’s stock price and actual forfeitures.

The Company recognized compensation expense related to the second and third tranches of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards as follows (in thousands):

2021 LTI Awards	(298)		2,832		740		17,112

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Due to our cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We experienced ownership changes as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in 2017, and an analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of our NOLs was performed at that time. It was determined that IRC Section 382 will not limit the use of our NOLs over the carryover period. We will continue to monitor trading activity in our shares that may cause an additional ownership change, which may ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.

NOTE 14 — LEASES

Our Driftwood Project land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 40 years, as well as to terminate the lease within five years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options will be exercised and that our termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, included those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Our other land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 69 years or to terminate the lease within seven years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options and termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, excluded those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right of use assets and lease liabilities. As none of our leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate.

The following table shows the classification and location of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis presents management’s view of our business, financial condition and overall performance and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. This information is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our past development activities, current financial condition and outlook for the future organized as follows:

•Our Business

•Overview of Significant Events

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Capital Development Activities

•Results of Operations

•Recent Accounting Standards

Our Business

Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a Houston-based company that is developing and plans to operate a portfolio of natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”), related pipelines and upstream natural gas assets (collectively referred to as the “Business”). The Driftwood terminal and related pipelines are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project.” As of September 30, 2023, our upstream natural gas assets consisted of 31,149 net acres and interests in 159 producing wells located in the Haynesville Shale trend of northern Louisiana. Our Business may be developed in phases.

As part of our execution strategy, which includes increasing our asset base, we will consider various commercial arrangements with third parties across the natural gas value chain. We are also pursuing activities such as direct sales of LNG to global counterparties, trading of LNG, the acquisition of additional upstream acreage and drilling of new wells on our existing upstream acreage. We remain focused on the financing and construction of the Driftwood Project while managing our marketing & trading operations and upstream assets.

We manage and report our operations in three reportable segments. The Upstream segment is organized and operates to produce, gather, and deliver natural gas and to acquire and develop natural gas assets. The Midstream segment is organized to develop, construct and operate LNG terminals and pipelines. The Marketing & Trading segment is organized and operates to purchase and sell natural gas produced primarily by the Upstream segment, market the Driftwood terminal’s LNG production capacity and trade LNG.

We continue to evaluate the scope and other aspects of our Business in light of the evolving economic environment, dynamics of the global political landscape, needs of potential counterparties and other factors. How we execute our Business will be based on a variety of factors, including the results of our continuing analysis, changing business conditions and market feedback.

Overview of Significant Events

Debt Refinancing

On August 15, 2023, we issued and sold $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) and approximately $83.3 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Convertible Notes”) due October 1, 2025 (collectively the “Replacement Notes”). The issuance of the Replacement Notes resulted in the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s outstanding principal repayment obligation under the Extinguished Convertible Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We are currently funding our operations, development activities and general working capital needs through our cash on hand and the combined proceeds generated by debt and equity issuances, upstream operations and the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program. We currently maintain an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which we may sell our common stock from time to time. As of the date of this filing, we have availability to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $425.8 million under this at-the-market equity offering program.

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2023, we had total borrowing obligations of approximately $391.0 million. Certain of our borrowing obligations require us to maintain a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. We also had contractual obligations associated with our finance and operating leases totaling approximately $394.9 million, of which approximately $15.1 million is scheduled to be paid within the next twelve months. The partial redemption of the Extinguished Convertible Notes, continued expenses associated with the construction of the Driftwood Project, the development of natural gas properties and declines in natural gas prices have significantly reduced our cash on hand. Our current capital resources consist of approximately $59.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.7 million of accounts receivable, which we project will not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations, fund our working capital needs and allow us to remain compliant with debt covenants and liquidity thresholds for twelve months after the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

We plan to mitigate these conditions by generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions, managing certain operating and overhead costs, refinancing the Replacement Notes, offering equity interests in the Driftwood Project and, if necessary, exploring opportunities to monetize all or a portion of our upstream natural gas assets (collectively “Management’s Plans”). The Company's ability to effectively implement Management’s Plans, should the Company choose to do so, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with market demand for our equity and debt securities, commodity prices and other factors affecting natural gas markets. As of the date of this filing, Management’s Plans have not been implemented to alleviate the conditions which raise substantial doubt.

We remain focused on the financing and construction of the Driftwood Project while managing our marketing & trading operations and upstream assets.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of our cash and cash equivalents and costs and expenses for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Cash used in operating activities	$	(2,708)	$	(65,719)
Cash used in investing activities	(295,377)		(386,130)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(121,519)		789,333
Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(419,604)		337,484
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of the period	508,468		307,274
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of the period	$	88,864	$	644,758
Net working capital	$	(59,976)	$	371,009

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by approximately $63.0 million compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to net changes in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 2022. For further information regarding the net changes in the Company’s working capital, see Note 15, Additional Cash Flow Information, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by approximately $90.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was primarily due to decreased acquisition and development of natural gas properties of approximately $107.0 million in the current period, as compared to approximately $236.6 million in the prior period. The decrease was partially offset by the funding of Driftwood Project construction activities of approximately $168.2 million in the current period, as compared to approximately $117.8 million of funding of Driftwood Project construction activities and land purchases and land improvements of approximately $19.4 million in the prior period.

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by approximately $910.9 million compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease is primarily due to approximately $166.7 million in borrowing principal repayments in the current period as compared to $489.7 million in net proceeds from borrowing issuances in the prior period. The decrease is also due to approximately $46.2 million in net proceeds from equity issuances as compared to approximately $299.7 million in the prior period. See Note 7, Borrowings and Note 10, Stockholders’ Equity, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our financing activities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Capital Development Activities

The activities we have proposed will require significant amounts of capital and are subject to completion risks and delays. We have received all regulatory approvals for the construction of Phase 1 of the Driftwood terminal and, as a result, our business success will depend to a significant extent upon our ability to obtain the funding necessary to construct assets on a commercially viable basis and to finance the costs of staffing, operating and expanding our company during that process. In March 2022, we issued a limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy Inc. under our Phase 1 EPC Agreement and commenced the construction of Phase 1 of the Driftwood terminal in April 2022.

We currently estimate the total cost of the Driftwood Project to be approximately $25.0 billion, including owners’ costs, transaction costs and contingencies but excluding interest costs incurred during construction and other financing costs. The proposed Driftwood terminal will have a liquefaction capacity of up to approximately 27.6 Mtpa and will be situated on approximately 1,200 acres in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The proposed Driftwood terminal will include up to 20 liquefaction Trains, three full containment LNG storage tanks and three marine berths.

Our strategy involves acquiring additional natural gas properties, including properties in the Haynesville Shale basin. We intend to pursue potential acquisitions of such assets, or public or private companies that own such assets. We expect to use stock, cash on hand, or cash raised in financing transactions to complete an acquisition of this type.

We anticipate funding our more immediate liquidity requirements for the construction of the Driftwood terminal, natural gas activities, and general and administrative expenses through the use of cash on hand, proceeds from operations, and proceeds from completed and future issuances of securities by us. Investments in the construction of the Driftwood terminal and natural gas development are and will continue to be significant, but the size of those investments will depend on, among other things, commodity prices, Driftwood Project financing developments and other liquidity considerations, and our continuing analysis of strategic risks and opportunities. Consistent with our overall financing strategy, the Company has considered, and in some cases discussed with investors, various potential financing transactions, including issuances of debt, equity and equity-linked securities or similar transactions, to support its capital requirements. The Company will continue to evaluate its cash needs and business outlook, and it may execute one or more transactions of this type in the future.

The most significant changes affecting our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, on a consolidated basis and by segment, are the following:

Upstream

•Decrease of approximately $37.9 million in Natural gas sales as a result of decreased realized natural gas prices partially offset by increased production volumes attributable to the acquisition of natural gas properties in 2022 and newly drilled and completed wells during 2023 and 2022.

20

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

•Increase of approximately $13.3 million in Operating expenses as a result of increased production volumes and approximately $3.2 million of natural gas drilling rig standby costs incurred during the current period.

•Increase of approximately $10.8 million in DD&A due to the acquisition of natural gas properties in 2022, increased capital expenditures during 2022 and 2023 and increased natural gas production volumes during the current period.

Consolidated

•Decrease of approximately $19.3 million in General and administrative expenses primarily attributable to decreased compensation expenses in the current period and the accrual of a $9.0 million donation to a university for global energy research in the prior period.

•Increase of approximately $15.1 million in Other income (expense), net primarily attributable to approximately $2.5 million of unrealized gains on embedded derivative liabilities in the current period as compared to $12.5 million of realized loss on natural gas financial instruments in the prior period.

•Increase of approximately $29.5 million in Loss on extinguishment of debt, net due to the extinguishment of the Company’s Extinguished Convertible Notes and issuance of the Replacement Notes.

Primarily as a result of the foregoing, our consolidated Net loss was approximately $65.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a Net loss of approximately $14.2 million during the same period in 2022.

The most significant changes affecting our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, on a consolidated basis and by segment, are the following:

Upstream

•Decrease of approximately $42.3 million in Natural gas sales as a result of decreased realized natural gas prices partially offset by increased production volumes attributable to the acquisition of natural gas properties in 2022 and newly drilled and completed wells during 2023 and 2022.

•Increase of approximately $41.5 million in Operating expenses primarily as a result of increased natural gas production volumes and approximately $6.9 million of natural gas drilling rig standby costs incurred during the current period.

•Increase of approximately $48.3 million in DD&A primarily attributable to a higher asset net book value utilized in the calculation of DD&A due to the acquisition of natural gas properties in 2022, increased capital expenditures during 2022 and 2023 and increased natural gas production volumes during the current period.

Marketing & Trading

•Decrease of approximately $121.0 million and approximately $131.7 million in LNG sales and LNG cost of sales, respectively, as a result of the absence of an LNG cargo that was sold during the first quarter of 2022.

Midstream

•Decrease of approximately $14.6 million in Development expenses primarily attributable to the capitalization of directly identifiable Driftwood Project costs as construction in progress during the current period, which were expensed in the prior period and $6.2 million in the cost of land and roads donated for public use in the state of Louisiana in the prior period.

Consolidated

•Decrease of approximately $11.6 million in General and administrative expenses primarily attributable to decreased compensation expenses in the current period and the accrual of a $9.0 million donation to a university for global energy research in the prior period.

•Increase of approximately $32.3 million in Loss on extinguishment of debt, net due primarily to the extinguishment of the Company’s Extinguished Convertible Notes and issuance of the Replacement Notes, which resulted in a loss of approximately $29.5 million in the current period.

•Increase of approximately $54.2 million in Other income (expense), net primarily attributable to approximately $23.3 million of realized gains on the settlement of natural gas financial instruments and $10.5 million of unrealized loss on natural gas financial instruments due to changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments during the current period as compared to $23.8 million of realized loss and $8.7 million of unrealized loss on natural gas financial instruments in the prior period.

As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated Net loss was approximately $152.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a Net loss of approximately $80.9 million during the same period in 2022.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Recent Accounting Standards

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no changes made by management to the critical accounting policies in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Please refer to the Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates section within Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates and accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2023, there were no open natural gas financial instrument positions. Accordingly, we do not believe that we hold, or are party to, instruments that are subject to market risks that are material to our Business. Refer to Note 8, Financial Instruments, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional details about our financial instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and Part II, Item 1A, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, other than as follows:

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To date, we have been meeting our liquidity needs primarily from cash on hand and the combined proceeds generated by debt and equity issuances, upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $59.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we expect will not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for the next twelve months. The Replacement Notes contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. We estimate that our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $83.0 million as of October 31, 2023. Notwithstanding October’s estimated higher cash balance over the prior month, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We continue to evaluate ways to generate additional proceeds from potential financing transactions, including but not limited to issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities or similar transactions, managing certain operating and overhead costs, refinancing the Replacement Notes, offering equity interests in the Driftwood Project and, if necessary, exploring opportunities to monetize all or a portion of our Upstream natural gas assets (“Management’s Plans”), to fund our obligations and working capital needs. Our ability to implement Management’s Plans, if we elect to do so, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with market demand for our equity and debt securities, commodity prices and other factors affecting natural gas markets. As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement Management’s Plans or otherwise obtain additional liquidity or refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

None that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, that was not previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company.

2.Commitment Period. The Commitment Period shall commence upon the date hereof and terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof, (ii) the termination of this Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof, and (iii) the termination of the Purchase Agreement (such period, the “Commitment Period”).

3.Conditions Precedent. Purchaser’s commitment to consummate the Sale-Leaseback Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent during the Commitment Period:

(a)the negotiation, execution and delivery of a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase and sale of the Property, consistent with the provisions set forth in this Commitment and the Term Sheet, and satisfaction of all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Sale-Leaseback Transaction set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Lease;

Property due to release to the environment, under conditions indicative of a release to the environment, or under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment, or (B) other adverse environmental matters with respect to the Property; and

(e) Evidence acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion that Tellurian or its affiliates have secured equity and debt commitments from other capital sources in a sufficient amount with respect to the development of the Driftwood project

If any one or more of the foregoing conditions precedent is not satisfied as of the consummation of the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, then (a) Purchaser may elect to waive (in writing) such condition and proceed with the consummation of the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (b) Purchaser shall not be required to consummate the Sale-Leaseback Transaction and this Commitment shall be terminated and of no further force or effect.

4.Closing: The closing of the Sale-Leaseback Transaction will occur in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

C.Confidentiality and Exclusivity

1.Confidentiality. This Commitment shall be subject to, and shall constitute “Confidential Information” under that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2023, between Tellurian and Blue Owl Real Estate Capital LLC (f/k/a Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC) (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tellurian may disclose the existence and execution (and, if applicable, termination) of this Commitment in a filing with the SEC and to prospective investors in the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, provided that no such disclosure shall refer in any manner to Blue Owl Real Estate or its affiliates nor include a copy of this Commitment or any portion hereof (redacted or otherwise) as an exhibit without Purchaser’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion, and, (ii) if this Commitment has not been terminated by the date on which Tellurian files its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2023, Tellurian may file this Commitment with such report, to the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations. Except as expressly set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Tellurian shall not (and shall cause its affiliates not to) make any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Commitment or the transaction contemplated hereby without Purchaser’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Commitment.

2.Exclusivity. During the period commencing upon the date hereof and terminating upon the date that is one (1) year after the date hereof (the “Exclusivity Period”), you and your affiliates, and your and your affiliates’ respective directors, employees, officers, partners with respect to the Property (e.g., joint venture partners), and principals (collectively, the “Tellurian Parties”) will negotiate exclusively with Purchaser with respect to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction on the terms set forth herein and in the Term Sheet and will not solicit, accept, negotiate, provide information for, or otherwise pursue or respond to (other than to reject), any offers for the sale and leaseback of, or substantially similar transaction with respect to, the Property.

30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 4140, Chicago, IL 60602 | 312.448.8122

D.Break Fee.

1.Seller’s Failure to Consummate with Purchaser. If, during the Exclusivity Period, (i) you breach the provisions of Section C.2 above or (ii) you consummate, or enter into a binding agreement to consummate, a sale-leaseback transaction or any equity or debt investment or financing or similar transaction with respect to, or otherwise in connection with or related to a final investment decision (or similar final decision to move forward with the construction) of, the Driftwood project (whether or not secured directly or indirectly by the Property or the direct or indirect owners of the Property or any interest therein) with a party other than Purchaser (a “Restricted Transaction”), and you do not enter into the Sale-Leaseback Transaction with Purchaser, then, upon such breach of the provisions of Section C.2 above or the consummation of such Restricted Transaction (as applicable), you will be obligated to pay to Purchaser a fee in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Break Fee”). Tellurian’s obligation to pay the Break Fee shall survive the termination or expiration of this Commitment. The parties acknowledge that Purchaser’s damages would be difficult to determine and that the Break Fee set forth above is a reasonable estimate of the damages resulting from a breach by the Tellurian Parties of Section C.2 above or the occurrence of a Restricted Transaction (as applicable).

2.Purchaser’s Failure to Consummate. If all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Sale-Leaseback Transaction during the Commitment Period are satisfied or waived in writing by Purchaser, and Purchaser fails to fund the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then Purchaser shall pay the Break Fee to Tellurian within five (5) business days after the earlier of (i) delivery of notice to Seller that Purchaser does not intend to consummate the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the closing date under the Purchase Agreement. Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Break Fee shall survive the termination or expiration of this Commitment.

E.Miscellaneous.

1.Prior Discussions. This Commitment (and the Term Sheet) supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, commitments, arrangements, negotiations or understandings, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect thereto.

2.Governing Law; Disputes. This Commitment (and the Term Sheet) shall be governed by the law of the State of New York. If this Commitment becomes the subject of a dispute, each of the parties hereto hereby waives trial by jury. This Commitment may be amended, modified or waived only in a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

3.No Assignment. This Commitment shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that any purported assignment by any party of this Commitment in contravention of this clause shall be null and void, provided further that (i) Tellurian may assign this Commitment (including the Term Sheet) to one or more of its affiliates without Purchaser’s consent, provided Tellurian is not released from its obligations hereunder and (ii) Purchaser may assign this Commitment (including the Term Sheet) to one or more of its affiliates without Tellurian’s consent, provided Purchaser is not released from its obligations hereunder.

8.Blue Owl Real Estate Not a Fiduciary.

TELLURIAN INC.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.: _____

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 20,000,000

Date of Issuance: April 29, 2020 (“Issuance Date”)

Tellurian Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, _______________, the registered holder hereof or its permitted and registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the date that is six months following the Issuance Date (the “Initial Exercisability Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), twenty million (20,000,000)duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), subject to adjustment as provided herein(the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 20. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of April 28, 2020 (the “Subscription Date”), by and between the Company, High Trail Investments SA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the other parties from time to time party thereto, (ii) the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-3ASR (File numbers 333-235793 and 333-269069) (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) and (iii) the Company’s prospectus supplements dated as of April 29, 2020 and December 30, 2022.

1.EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a)Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any Business Day and at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part in increments of 25,000 Warrant Shares, by delivery (whether via electronic mail or otherwise in accordance with Section 8) of a duly completed and executed written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following the delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor shall any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any Exercise Notice be required. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares and the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the

Company. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail a duly executed and completed acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice, in the form attached to the Exercise Notice, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). So long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Exercise Notice has been delivered to the Company, then on or prior to the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case following the date on which the Exercise Notice has been delivered to the Company, or, if the Holder does not deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Exercise Notice has been delivered to the Company, then on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) is delivered (such earlier date, or if later, the earliest day on which the Company is required to deliver Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 1(a) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any, including without limitation for same day processing. Upon delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise, as applicable), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record and beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised on the date of such delivery, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is physically delivered to the Company in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof (except for consents and waivers provided pursuant to Section 9), the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination; provided, however, that the

- 2 -

Company shall not be required to deliver Warrant Shares with respect to an exercise prior to the Holder’s delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) with respect to such exercise.

(b)Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.542 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c)Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If either (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, if (x) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue to the Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such Common Stock on the Company’s share register or (y) the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant or (II) a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Notice Warrant Shares”) is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares and (x) the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such registration statement becomes unavailable, to so notify the Holder and (y) the Company is unable to deliver the Exercise Notice Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Exercise Notice Warrant Shares to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” (provided that no Notice Failure shall be deemed to have occurred if the Exercise Notice Warrant Shares are freely tradeable upon issuance to the Holder notwithstanding the unavailability of a registration statement and such shares do not bear any restrictive legend) and together with the event described in clause (I) above, an “Exercise Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, if on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date either (I) (x) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company shall have failed to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, (y) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company shall have failed to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, or (II) if a Notice Failure occurs, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder pursuant to such exercise and which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In

- 3 -

and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Company’s current transfer agent participates in FAST. In the event that the Company changes transfer agents while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to select a transfer agent that participates in FAST. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall request its transfer agent to participate in FAST with respect to this Warrant. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) subject to the provisions of Section 1(d), switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise. In addition to the foregoing, but subject in each instance to the limitations set forth in Section 1(i) below, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to an Exercise Notice by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

(d)Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the applicable Exercise Notice Warrant Shares is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part (in increments of 25,000 Warrant Shares in the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant) and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

- 4 -

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B= as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day, (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, or (3) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day, or (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 1(c) and 4(b), in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise. Any Cashless Exercise of this Warrant shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder by an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a Cashless Exercise and not the number of Warrant Shares actually received by the Holder.

(e)Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.

(f)Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by

- 5 -

the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the other Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder the Aggregate Exercise Price (or applicable portion thereof) paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the Aggregate Exercise Price (or applicable portion thereof) paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 4.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the

- 6 -

provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to rely on the representations and other information set forth in any Exercise Notice and shall not be required to independently verify whether any exercise of this Warrant would cause the Holder (together with the other Attribution Parties) to collectively beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise or otherwise trigger the provisions of this Section 1(f).

(g)Required Reserve Amount.  So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g) be reduced other than in connection with any exercise of Warrants or such other event covered by Section 2(c) below.  The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Warrants based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants held by each holder thereof on the Issuance Date (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then held by such holders thereof (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

(h)Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action reasonably necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and the management of the Company shall recommend to the board of directors that it recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such Authorized Share Failure, if the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In addition to the foregoing, in the event of any Authorized Share Failure that results in the failure of the Company to deliver any shares of Common Stock that

- 7 -

would have otherwise been deliverable pursuant to an Exercise Notice (such shares the “Authorized Shares Failure Shares”), (1) the Company will promptly pay to the Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, cash in an amount equal (i) to the product of (x) the number of such Authorized Shares Failure Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the date the Holder delivered the applicable Exercise Notice hereunder (or, if such date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), minus (ii) if such exercise is not a cashless exercise the Aggregate Exercise Price applicable to such Authorized Shares Failure Shares, to the extent not previously paid; and (2) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in settlement of a sale by the Holder of such Authorized Shares Failure Shares, the Company will reimburse the Holder for (x) any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection with such purchases and (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate purchase price of such purchases over (B) an amount equal to (i) the product of (I) the number of such Authorized Shares Failure Shares purchased by the Holder; and (II) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the date the Holder delivered the applicable Exercise Notice hereunder (or, if such date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), minus (ii) if such exercise is not a cashless exercise, the Aggregate Exercise Price applicable to such Authorized Shares Failure Shares, to the extent not previously paid.

(i)Liquidated Damages Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) with respect to any particular Exercise Notice, the Holder shall not be entitled to recover any liquidated damages from the Company under Section 1(c) above in connection with any failure to deliver any Exercise Notice Warrant Shares to the Holder subject to such Exercise Notice until the aggregate liquidated damages for which the Company would otherwise be liable in respect of all failures to deliver Exercise Notice Warrant Shares hereunder (in the absence of this limitation) exceeds $25,000 (the “LD Threshold”), after which the Holder shall be paid the aggregate amount of all such liquidated damages in respect of all such failures to deliver Exercise Notice Warrant Shares hereunder from the first dollar thereof (including the amount of the LD Threshold), and (ii) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages (cumulatively, inclusive of any and all liquidated damages under Section 1(c)) for which the Company will be liable will in no event exceed the LD Cap.

(j)Taxes. For income tax purposes, the Holder agrees that the Company may withhold from any amounts payable to the Holder or its permitted assignee or permitted transferee any taxes to be withheld from such amounts; provided that the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Holder to reduce or eliminate the amounts required to be withheld.

2.ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) Intentionally omitted.

(b) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then-current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c ) Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be

- 8 -

proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

3.RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if, on or after the Subscription Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin-off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

4.PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a)Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time on or after the Subscription Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the

- 9 -

Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

(b)Fundamental Transaction.    In the event that the Company enters into a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) (the “Successor Entity Security”). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity to deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to provide the Holder with the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) (collectively, the “Corporate Event Consideration”) that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). The provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of

- 10 -

a Change of Control, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 30th day after public disclosure of the consummation of such Change of Control by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within ten (10) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Change of Control), an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the effective date of such Change of Control, payable in cash; provided, however, that, if the Change of Control is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Change of Control, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Change of Control, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Change of Control; provided, further, that if holder of Common Stock are not offered or paid any consideration in such Change of Control, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which entity may be the Company following such Change of Control) in such Change of Control.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

- 14 -

Warrant.

15.SEVERABILITY; CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

GENERAL

NOTE 1 — GENERAL

Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a Houston-based company that is developing and plans to operate a portfolio of natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”), related pipelines and upstream natural gas assets (collectively referred to as the “Business”). The Driftwood terminal and related pipelines are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project.”

The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Tellurian” and the “Company” as used in this report refer collectively to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity associated with Tellurian Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have historically generated losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to cover our future operating costs and obligations as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. To date, the Company has been meeting its liquidity needs primarily from cash on hand and the combined proceeds generated by debt and equity issuances, upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering programs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $59.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.7 million of accounts receivable, which we expect will not be sufficient to satisfy its obligations, fund its working capital needs and allow it to remain compliant with debt covenants and liquidity thresholds for twelve months after the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The analysis used to determine the Company's ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash sources that management expects to be available within the next twelve months but are outside of the Company's direct control.

The Company plans to mitigate these conditions by generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions, managing certain operating and overhead costs, refinancing the Replacement Notes, offering equity interests in the Driftwood Project and, if necessary, exploring opportunities to monetize all or a portion of its upstream natural gas assets (collectively “Management’s Plans”). The Company's ability to effectively implement Management’s Plans, should the Company choose to do so, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with market demand for our equity and debt securities, commodity prices and other factors affecting natural gas markets. As of the date of this filing, Management’s Plans have not been implemented to alleviate the conditions which raise substantial doubt. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Amortization of the borrowings’ premium and DFC is a component of Interest expense, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We amortized approximately $1.3 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we amortized approximately $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025 (Extinguished)

On June 3, 2022, we issued and sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due May 1, 2025 (the “Extinguished Convertible Notes”). Net proceeds from the Extinguished Convertible Notes were approximately $488.7 million after deducting fees and expenses. The Extinguished Convertible Notes had quarterly interest payments due on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year and on the maturity date. DFC of approximately $11.5 million were capitalized.

Partial Redemption

On March 27, 2023, the holder of the Extinguished Convertible Notes delivered to the Company notice to redeem $166.7 million of the initial principal amount of the Extinguished Convertible Notes at par, plus accrued interest (the “Redemption Amount”). On March 28, 2023, the Company irrevocably deposited the Redemption Amount of approximately $169.1 million in order to satisfy the redemption and retirement of $166.7 million principal amount of the Extinguished Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest. As a result of paying the Redemption Amount prior to the Extinguished Convertible Notes’ contractual maturity, the Company wrote off approximately $2.8 million of prorated unamortized DFC, which was recognized within Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Extinguishment

On August 15, 2023, we issued and sold in a private placement $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) and approximately $83.3 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Convertible Notes”) due October 1, 2025 (collectively the “Replacement Notes”). The issuance of the Replacement Notes to the holder of the Extinguished Convertible Notes resulted in the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s outstanding principal repayment obligation under the Extinguished Convertible Notes. As a result, the Company recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $29.5 million in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Senior Secured Notes due 2025

The Senior Notes have quarterly interest payments in cash due on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing in October 2023. DFC of approximately $20.1 million were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. Holders of the Senior Notes may force the Company to redeem the applicable Senior Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change or (ii) an event of default. On or after October 1, 2024, the holders of the Senior Notes may redeem up to the entire principal amount of the Senior Notes for a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s

liquidity falls below (a) $200.0 million, if the Secured Convertible Notes are not outstanding at such time, or (b) $250.0 million, if any of the Secured Convertible Notes are outstanding at such time. The Company may provide written notice to each holder of the Senior Notes calling all of such holder’s Senior Notes for redemption for a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Optional Redemption”).

Our borrowing obligations under the Senior Notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in Tellurian Production Holdings LLC (“Tellurian Production Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian Inc. Tellurian Production Holdings owns all of the Company’s upstream natural gas assets described in Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Senior Notes contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we remained in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $231.2 million. The Level 3 fair value was estimated based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including our stock price and inputs that are not observable in the market.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025

The Secured Convertible Notes have quarterly interest payments in cash due on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing in October 2023. The holders of the Secured Convertible Notes have the right to convert the notes into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 512.8205 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.95 per share of common stock) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company will force the holders of the Secured Convertible Notes to convert all of the notes if the trading price of our common stock closes above 300% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days and certain other equity conditions are satisfied. Holders of the Secured Convertible Notes may force the Company to redeem the applicable Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change or (ii) an event of default. On or after October 1, 2024, the holders of the Secured Convertible Notes may redeem up to the entire principal amount of the notes for a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s liquidity falls below (a) $75.0 million, if the Senior Notes are not outstanding at such time, or (b) $250.0 million, if any of the Senior Notes are outstanding at such time.

Our borrowing obligations under the Secured Convertible Notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in Tellurian Production Holdings and mortgages of the material real property oil and gas assets of Tellurian Production Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (together, the “Collateral”). Tellurian Production Holdings owns all of the Company’s upstream natural gas assets described in Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Collateral will be removed as a secured obligation under the Secured Convertible Notes if the Senior Notes are no longer outstanding. The Secured Convertible Notes contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash covenant of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we remained in compliance with all covenants under the Secured Convertible Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Secured Convertible Notes was approximately $82.1 million. The Level 3 fair value was estimated based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including our stock price and inputs that are not observable in the market.

Replacement Notes Embedded Derivatives

As part of the issuance of the Replacement Notes, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate total of 25.7 million shares of its common stock (the “Share Coupon”) to the holders of the Replacement Notes. The Share Coupon is payable quarterly on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year, commencing on or before October 2023. To the extent that the average daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock of the Company during each quarter is less than $1.35, the Company will pay a cash amount equal to that difference multiplied by the number of shares issuable for that quarter (the “Cash Shortfall Payments”). Upon any retirement, redemption, or conversion of the Replacement Notes, the Company will issue any and all unpaid Share Coupon plus Cash Shortfall Payments, as applicable (the “Make Whole”).

The Company evaluated the potential embedded features within the Replacement Notes host contracts and determined that the Share Coupon, the Cash Shortfall Payments and the Make Whole embedded features required bifurcation as a single unit of account from the Replacement Notes and accounted for them separately at fair value. See Note 8, Financial Instruments, for more information on the fair value measurement of the Replacement Notes embedded derivatives.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028

On November 10, 2021, we sold in a registered public offering $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due November 30, 2028 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). Net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Notes were approximately $47.5 million after deducting fees. The underwriter was granted an option to purchase up to an additional $7.5 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes within 30 days. On December 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option and purchased an additional $6.5 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes resulting in net proceeds of approximately

$6.2 million after deducting fees. The Senior Unsecured Notes have quarterly interest payments due on January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year and on the maturity date. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are listed and trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “TELZ,” and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2023, the closing market price was $16.60 per Senior Unsecured Note.

At-the-Market Debt Offering Program

On December 17, 2021, we entered into an at-the-market debt offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time on the NYSE American, up to an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of additional Senior Unsecured Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold approximately $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of additional Senior Unsecured Notes for total proceeds of approximately $1.1 million after fees and commissions under our at-the-market debt offering program. On December 30, 2022, we terminated the at-the-market debt offering program.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 8 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Natural Gas Financial Instruments

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from commodity price risk due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The Company may use natural gas financial futures and option contracts to economically hedge the commodity price risks associated with a portion of our expected natural gas production. As of September 30, 2023, there were no open natural gas financial instrument positions.

LNG Financial Futures

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into LNG financial futures contracts to reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and to achieve more predictable cash flows relative to two LNG cargos that we were committed to purchase from and sell to unrelated third-party LNG merchants in the normal course of business in January and April 2022. As of September 30, 2023, there were no open LNG financial instrument positions.

Contingent Consideration

On August 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of certain natural gas assets in the Haynesville Shale basin (the “Asset Acquisition”). The Asset Acquisition included cash consideration payable to the sellers of $7.5 million (the “Contingent Consideration”) if the average NYMEX Henry Hub gas price for the contract delivery months beginning with August 2022 through March 2023 exceeded a specific threshold (the “Threshold”) per MMBtu. The Threshold was not met and, therefore, the Company is not obligated to pay the Contingent Consideration.

Embedded Derivatives

We evaluate embedded features within a host contract to determine whether they are embedded derivatives that should be bifurcated and carried separately at fair value. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As described in Note 7, Borrowings, we determined that the Replacement Notes contained embedded features which required bifurcation from the host contracts.

The following table presents the classification of the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

Preferred Stock

In March 2018, we entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with BDC Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC (“Bechtel Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bechtel Energy Inc., pursuant to which we sold to Bechtel Holdings approximately 6.1 million shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have dividend rights but do have a liquidation preference over holders of our common stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time after “Substantial Completion” of “Project 1,” each as defined in and pursuant to the LSTK EPC Agreement for the Driftwood LNG Phase 1 Liquefaction Facility, dated as of November 10, 2017, or at any time after March 21, 2028, we have the right to cause all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Preferred Stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

We have granted restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “Restricted Stock”), as well as unrestricted stock and stock options, to employees, directors and outside consultants under the Tellurian Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Tellurian Investments Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Tellurian common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan is 40 million shares of common stock, and no further awards can be made under the Legacy Plan.

Upon the vesting of restricted stock, shares of common stock will be released to the grantee. Upon the vesting of restricted stock units, the units will be converted into either cash, stock, or a combination thereof. As of September 30, 2023, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately 26.2 million shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock outstanding, of which approximately 14.9 million shares will vest entirely at FID, as defined in the award agreements, and approximately 10.8 million shares will vest in one-third increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID. The remaining shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock, totaling approximately 0.5 million shares, will vest based on other criteria. As of September 30, 2023, no expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.

As of September 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $172.6 million.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

NOTE 12 — INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

On November 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Tellurian Incentive Compensation Program (the “Incentive Compensation Program” or “ICP”). The ICP allows the Company to award short-term and long-term performance and service-based incentive compensation to full-time employees. ICP awards may be earned with respect to each calendar year and are determined based on guidelines established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Long-term incentive awards

Long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards under the ICP were granted in January 2022 in the form of “tracking units,” at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2021 LTI Awards”). Each such tracking unit has a value equal to one share of Tellurian common stock and entitles the grantee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the vesting date. These tracking units will vest in three equal tranches at the grant date and the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. Non-vested 2021 LTI Awards as of September 30, 2023 and awards granted during the period were as follows:

LTI awards under the ICP were granted in February 2023 in the form of “tracking units,” at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2022 LTI Awards”). Each such tracking unit has a value equal to one share of Tellurian common stock and entitles the grantee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the vesting date. These tracking units will vest in three equal tranches at the grant date and the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.

Non-vested 2022 LTI Awards as of September 30, 2023 and awards granted during the period were as follows:

	Number of Tracking Units (in thousands)	Price per Tracking Unit
Balance at January 1, 2023	—	—
Granted	14,802	$	2.10
Vested	(4,934)	1.63
Forfeited	(574)	1.48
Unvested balance at September 30, 2023	9,294	$	1.16

We recognize compensation expense for awards with graded vesting schedules over the requisite service periods for each separately vesting portion of the award as if each award was in substance multiple awards. Compensation expense for the first tranche of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards that vested at the grant date was recognized over the performance period when it was probable that the performance condition was achieved. Compensation expense for the second and third tranches of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation expense for unvested tracking units is subsequently adjusted each reporting period to reflect the estimated payout levels based on changes in the Company’s stock price and actual forfeitures.

The Company recognized compensation expense related to the second and third tranches of the 2021 LTI Awards and the 2022 LTI Awards as follows (in thousands):

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Due to our cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We experienced ownership changes as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in 2017, and an analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of our NOLs was performed at that time. It was determined that IRC Section 382 will not limit the use of our NOLs over the carryover period. We will continue to monitor trading activity in our shares that may cause an additional ownership change, which may ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.

Leases

NOTE 14 — LEASES

Our Driftwood Project land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 40 years, as well as to terminate the lease within five years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options will be exercised and that our termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, included those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Our other land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 69 years or to terminate the lease within seven years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options and termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, excluded those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right of use assets and lease liabilities. As none of our leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

NOTE 16 — DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

The Upstream segment is organized and operates to produce, gather and deliver natural gas and to acquire and develop natural gas assets. The Midstream segment is organized to develop, construct and operate LNG terminals and pipelines. The Marketing & Trading segment is organized and operates to purchase and sell natural gas produced primarily by the Upstream segment, market the Driftwood terminal’s LNG production capacity and trade LNG. These operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. The remainder of our business is presented as “Corporate,” and consists of corporate costs and intersegment eliminations. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker does not currently assess segment performance or allocate resources based on a measure of total assets. Accordingly, a total asset measure has not been provided for segment disclosure.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.

Liquidity

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have historically generated losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to cover our future operating costs and obligations as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. To date, the Company has been meeting its liquidity needs primarily from cash on hand and the combined proceeds generated by debt and equity issuances, upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering programs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $59.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.7 million of accounts receivable, which we expect will not be sufficient to satisfy its obligations, fund its working capital needs and allow it to remain compliant with debt covenants and liquidity thresholds for twelve months after the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The analysis used to determine the Company's ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash sources that management expects to be available within the next twelve months but are outside of the Company's direct control.The Company plans to mitigate these conditions by generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions, managing certain operating and overhead costs, refinancing the Replacement Notes, offering equity interests in the Driftwood Project and, if necessary, exploring opportunities to monetize all or a portion of its upstream natural gas assets (collectively “Management’s Plans”). The Company's ability to effectively implement Management’s Plans, should the Company choose to do so, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with market demand for our equity and debt securities, commodity prices and other factors affecting natural gas markets. As of the date of this filing, Management’s Plans have not been implemented to alleviate the conditions which raise substantial doubt. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
