•risks related to shortages of LNG vessels worldwide;

•technological innovation which may render our anticipated competitive advantage obsolete;

•risks related to a terrorist or military incident involving an LNG carrier;

•changes in legislation and regulations relating to the LNG industry, including environmental laws and regulations that impose significant compliance costs and liabilities;

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 a portfolio of LNG marketing and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and related pipelines. The Driftwood terminal and related pipelines are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project.” We refer to the Driftwood Project as the “Business.” 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.

Upstream Sale

On May 28, 2024, Tellurian Production LLC (“Tellurian Production Company”) and Tellurian Operating LLC (together with Tellurian Production Company, “Seller”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with Aethon United BR LP and Aethon III BR LLC (collectively, “Buyer”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell its upstream and related midstream assets in the Louisiana region of the Haynesville Shale to Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $260.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments (the “Upstream Sale”). The Upstream Sale closed on June 28, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been revised to reflect the effect of the Upstream Sale. The Upstream Sale was disclosed in prior periods as part of Management’s plans to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, for further information.

Merger Agreement

On July 21, 2024, Tellurian entered into a Merger Agreement with Woodside. Refer to Note 17, Subsequent Events.

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, 2023.

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. 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.

There has been no change to our significant accounting policies as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, except as follows:

Discontinued Operations

The divestiture of a disposal group which represents a strategic shift to the Company’s operations and financial results is presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain or loss recognized is recognized as the consideration received from the sale less its net carrying value, and direct costs incurred to sell. Adjustments to amounts reported in discontinued operations are presented in subsequent periods. Interest costs associated with debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction are allocated to the discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group related to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Working capital that is not part of the disposal group is retained by the Company and presented as continuing operations. Cash flows from discontinued and continuing operations are presented on a consolidated basis within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Segments

Following the Upstream Sale, the Company conducts its operations as a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis in our strategy to manage the Company.

We are not required to disclose the information prescribed by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, for a reportable segment that qualifies for discontinued operations reporting. In addition, segment information for periods prior to the sale of a reportable segment is not required to be restated in the comparative periods.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Going Concern

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. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205”), the Company evaluates whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has generated losses and cash outflows from operations. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to satisfy our obligations and fund working capital needs as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

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, the discontinued upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering programs. Our evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of activities that have not been fully implemented or are not within the Company’s direct control. Through the date of this filing, the Company has undertaken the following actions to improve its available cash balances and liquidity:

•From January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, raised net proceeds of approximately $66.9 million from the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs; and

•On June 28, 2024, we closed the Upstream Sale and used approximately $229.9 million of the net proceeds to retire the then-outstanding principal obligations under the Company’s 10% Senior Secured Notes.

On July 21, 2024, Tellurian entered into a Merger Agreement with Woodside. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Woodside Energy (USA), Inc. agreed to provide the Company with a bridge loan to continue Driftwood Project construction activities and fund working capital needs. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for defined terms and additional information. Management is planning to alleviate substantial doubt by closing the Merger with Woodside during the fourth quarter of 2024. However, completing the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including Tellurian shareholder approval and regulatory approvals, which are not within the Company’s control and, therefore, cannot be deemed probable in accordance with ASC 205. As a result, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the date of this filing.

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.

NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Natural Gas Financial Instruments

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities was to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from commodity price risk due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The Company has used 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no open natural gas financial instrument positions.

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 9, Borrowings, we determined that the Senior Notes and Convertible 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):

Amortization of the borrowings’ DFC is a component of Interest expense, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company amortized approximately $3.5 million and $6.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We amortized approximately $0.7 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025

On August 15, 2023, we issued and sold in a private placement approximately $83.3 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Secured Convertible Notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Secured Convertible Notes” or “Convertible Notes”). The Secured Convertible Notes have quarterly interest payments due in cash on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year.

The holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert the notes into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $1.05 per share of common stock (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, at any time until the second trading day immediately prior to the maturity date, with the number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion limited to approximately 42.7 million shares (the “Conversion Feature”). 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.

Following a full exercise of the Conversion Feature, the balance of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes will remain outstanding as a non-convertible instrument. The Convertible Notes, including the non-convertible component of those notes, are required to be paid monthly over a period of 10 months beginning on January 1, 2025. The current portion of the

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Convertible Notes that is contractually scheduled to amortize within one year is classified as a current borrowing in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $81.0 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. As of June 30, 2024, we remained in compliance with all covenants under the Convertible Notes.

Senior Secured Notes due 2025

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”).

January 2024 & February 2024 Amendments

On January 2, 2024, we amended the supplemental indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Convertible Notes and issued approximately 47.8 million shares of common stock to partially repay approximately $37.9 million of Senior Notes principal plus accrued interest of approximately $7.5 million. As a result of the partial redemption, we recognized a $4.6 million Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On February 22, 2024, we executed an additional amendment (the “February Amendment”) to the notes. At closing, we paid $4.0 million of a conditional top-up payment in cash, with the remaining balance of approximately $11.8 million added to the aggregate Senior Notes principal amount in March 2024. In April 2024, the quarterly cash interest and cash shortfall due related to the first quarter of 2024 of approximately $2.5 million and $6.0 million were added to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes, respectively.

June 2024 Senior Notes Retirement

On June 28, 2024, approximately $240.0 million of the net cash proceeds from the Upstream Sale were used to fully retire and discharge all of the Company’s then-outstanding obligations under the Senior Notes, comprised of approximately $229.9 million in aggregate principal amount, $5.6 million in accrued interest, and $4.5 million in share coupon cash shortfall amount (the “Debt Payoff”). We recognized a Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of approximately $10.8 million, comprised of the unamortized Senior Notes DFC.

The Senior Notes and Convertible Notes required a non-recourse pledge of our equity interest in the principal properties of the Company comprising the Driftwood Project and were also collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in Tellurian Production Holdings LLC and mortgages of the material real property oil and gas assets of Tellurian Production Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (together, the “Collateral”). As a result of the Debt Payoff, the Collateral was released and replaced by $35.0 million in cash held in a blocked and restricted account. The amount shall be reduced to $25.0 million when the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes is less than $50.0 million. The blocked and restricted account will be released upon the full satisfaction of the Convertible Notes.

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.

On March 28, 2023, the Company paid 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, we wrote off approximately $2.8 million of prorated unamortized DFC, which was recognized within Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The issuance of the Senior Notes and Convertible Notes resulted in the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s outstanding principal repayment obligation under the Extinguished Convertible Notes.

Embedded Derivatives

As part of the issuance of the Senior Notes and Convertible 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 notes. The Share Coupon was fully satisfied as part of the February Amendment. 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 previously issuable for that quarter (the “Cash Shortfall Payments”). Upon any retirement, redemption, or conversion of the Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, the Company will issue any and all unpaid Cash Shortfall Payments (the “Make Whole”).

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

The Company evaluated the potential embedded features within the host contracts and determined that the Conversion Feature, Cash Shortfall Payments and the Make Whole embedded features continued to require bifurcation as a single unit of account from the host contracts and accounted for them separately at fair value. See Note 6, Financial Instruments, for more information on the fair value measurement of the 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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, the closing market price was $17.75 per Senior Unsecured Note.

NOTE 10 — 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 June 30, 2024, no amounts were drawn under this credit line.

Minimum Volume Commitments

The Company was subject to gas gathering commitments with unrelated companies that provided 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 June 30, 2024 is approximately $4.9 million.

NOTE 11 — 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. On December 30, 2022, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering program for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $500.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued approximately 10.1 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued approximately 29.6 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $17.8 million. On May 3, 2024 we terminated this at-the-market equity offering program.

On March 15, 2024, we entered into a new at-the-market equity offering program with capacity to raise aggregate sales proceeds of up to approximately $366.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued approximately 93.0 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $49.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, this at-the-market equity offering program had remaining capacity to raise aggregate sales proceeds of up to approximately $316.6 million.

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. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

NOTE 12 — 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 June 30, 2024, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 25.4 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 10.0 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 June 30, 2024, no expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.

As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $170.4 million. Further, approximately 25.4 million shares of primarily performance-based Restricted Stock, as well as approximately 0.7 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. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

NOTE 13 — INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

On November 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Tellurian Incentive Compensation Program (the “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”). 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”). There were no LTI awards granted for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2023. 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.

The Company recognized compensation expense (income) as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 14 — 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 15 — 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.

On July 21, 2024, the Company executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Woodside Energy Holdings (NA) LLC (“Woodside Holdings”) and Woodside Energy (Transitory) Inc. (“Woodside Sub”, and together with Woodside Holdings “Woodside”), pursuant to which, Woodside Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodside. As set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock and Restricted Stock will, subject to customary exceptions, be converted into the right to receive $1.00 per share in cash. Each share of Tellurian’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive $8.16489 per share in cash. The Merger is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including Tellurian shareholder approval and regulatory approvals.

Bridge Loan Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Tellurian entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement” or “Loan Agreement”) with Woodside Energy (USA), Inc. pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $230.0 million, of which $75.2 million was funded on July 22, 2024. The remainder may be requested by Tellurian in subsequent draws. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable on the last business day of each month in cash or in kind, at the Company’s option. The obligations under the Loan Agreement will be secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Loan proceeds are to be used to continue Driftwood Project construction activities and fund working capital needs. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement will mature on the earliest of (i) December 15, 2024, subject to extension in certain circumstances, (ii) 30 days after the valid termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason thereunder, and (iii) the date of any acceleration of the Loan Agreement obligations during the continuation of an event of default.

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

Our Business

Since the Upstream Sale, the Company has become a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis in the execution of our strategy to manage the Company.

We expanded our engagement with a strategic advisor to include a broader spectrum of opportunities, including a potential sale of the Company. Refer to Overview of Significant Events and Note 17, Subsequent Events.

Overview of Significant Events

Merger Agreement

Bridge Loan Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Tellurian entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) with Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $230.0 million. Refer to Note 17, Subsequent Events.

Sale of Upstream Assets

On June 28, 2024, we closed the sale of our upstream assets for an aggregate purchase price of $260.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement (the “Upstream Sale”). Refer to Note 1, General - Upstream Sale, and Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

Debt Retirement

Net cash proceeds from the Upstream Sale were used to retire all of the Company’s then-outstanding principal obligations under the Senior Notes of approximately $229.9 million (the “Debt Payoff”). Refer to Note 9, Borrowings.

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

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. To date, we have been 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, the discontinued upstream operations and the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs. 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 June 30, 2024, we had total borrowing obligations of approximately $143.5 million. The Convertible Notes require us to maintain a restricted minimum cash balance of $35.0 million. See Note 8, Borrowings. We also had contractual obligations associated with our finance and operating leases totaling $383.6 million, of which $15.2 million is scheduled to be paid within the next twelve months. Our current capital resources consist of approximately $19.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and approximately $22.6 million of accounts receivable.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had generated losses and cash outflows from operations. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to satisfy our obligations and fund working capital needs as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

•From January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, raised net proceeds of approximately $66.9 million from the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs; and

On July 21, 2024, Tellurian entered into a Merger Agreement with Woodside. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Woodside Energy (USA), Inc. agreed to provide the Company with a bridge loan to continue Driftwood Project construction activities and fund working capital needs. Management is planning to alleviate substantial doubt by closing the Merger with Woodside during the fourth quarter of 2024. However, completing the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including Tellurian shareholder approval and regulatory approvals, which are not within the Company’s control and, therefore, cannot be deemed probable in accordance with ASC 205. As a result, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the date of this filing. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for defined terms and additional information.

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.

We anticipate funding our more immediate liquidity requirements for the construction of the Driftwood terminal and working capital needs through the use of cash on hand and proceeds from the Bridge Loan Agreement. Investments in the construction of the Driftwood terminal are and will continue to be significant, but the size of those investments will depend on, among other things, Driftwood Project financing developments including closing the Merger with Woodside and other liquidity considerations.

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 June 30, 2024. 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, 2023 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates and accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2024, 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 6, 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 President and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. 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, 2023, other than as follows:

We will be subject to business uncertainties while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect our businesses.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees and those that do business with us may have an adverse effect on Tellurian. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause those who transact with us to seek to change their existing business relationships with us. We may face challenges in retaining key personnel during the pendency of the Merger due to uncertainties about future roles, responsibilities, and potential organizational changes. This could result in the loss of institutional knowledge, disruption to our operations, and difficulty in executing our business strategies. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from entering into certain corporate transactions, entering into certain material contracts, making certain capital expenditures, incurring certain indebtedness and taking other specified actions without the consent of Woodside, and generally requires us to continue our operations in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of the Merger. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities and alternative financing sources prior to the completion of the Merger.

We may be the subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We and/or our respective directors and officers may be subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger. Such litigation is common in connection with acquisitions of public companies, regardless of the merits of the underlying transaction. While we will evaluate and defend against any actions vigorously, the costs of the defense of such lawsuits and other effects of such litigation could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not be completed. Failure to complete, or significant delays in completing, the Merger could negatively affect the trading prices of our securities and our future business and financial results, and potentially trigger acceleration of our bridge loan obligations.

Completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including (i) the receipt of the required approval from Tellurian stockholders, (ii) the absence of any law or order that enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) the receipt of specified regulatory approvals, including from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be completed.

If the Merger is not completed, or if there are significant delays in completing the Merger, the trading price of our securities and our future business and financial results could be negatively affected, and we may be subject to several risks, including the following:

•the requirement that we pay Woodside a termination fee of approximately $36.1 million under certain circumstances provided in the Merger Agreement;

•adverse reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the prices of our securities due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be completed;

•having to pay certain significant costs relating to the Merger, regardless of whether the Merger is completed;

•the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Merger rather than our operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; and

•the accelerated maturity of our Bridge Loan obligations, potentially requiring immediate refinancing or repayment.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from submitting a competing proposal that might result in greater value to our stockholders than the Merger, or may result in a potential competing acquirer of the Company proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire us than it might otherwise have proposed to pay. These provisions include a general prohibition on us from soliciting or, subject to certain exceptions relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by our Board of Directors, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any competing proposal or offer for a competing transaction.

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

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

None that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024, that was not previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company.

None that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

CHANGE ORDER


PROJECT NAME: Driftwood LNG Phase 1 OWNER: Driftwood LNG LLC CONTRACTOR: Bechtel Energy Inc. DATE OF AGREEMENT: November 10, 2017			CHANGE ORDER NUMBER: CO-013 DATE OF CHANGE ORDER:

The Agreement between the Parties is changed as follows:

In accordance with Section 5.1 of the Agreement, the Parties agree to enter into this CO-013 defining the LNTP No. 3 Work as defined and detailed below:

I.OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

Prior to Contractor’s commencement of the Work specified in Exhibit C (LNTP No. 3 Work) attached to and made a part of this CO-013 (“LNTP No. 3 Work”), Owner shall comply with its relevant obligations defined in the Agreement, including Section 5.2A.

Contractor shall not be obligated to commence Work under this LNTP No. 3 until the Monthly Payment for Month 2 identified in Exhibit A (LNTP No. 3 Payment Schedule) attached to and made a part of this CO-013 (the “Second Monthly Payment”) has been received by Contractor in cleared funds.

A.Scope Modifications

None.

B.Agreement Terms Modifications

None with respect to Owner Responsibilities.

C.Commercial Impacts

None.

II.LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED NO. 3 (LNTP NO. 3)

A.LNTP No. 3 Work Schedule

Subject to Section I (Owner Responsibilities) above, Contractor will:

1.Commencement of Work:

Contractor shall commence with the performance of the LNTP No. 3 Work on the date the Second Monthly Payment is received pursuant to I.A above (“LNTP No. 3 Commencement”).

2.Completion of Work:

Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to achieve completion of LNTP No. 3 Work by August 31, 2024.

B.Agreement Schedule Modifications

None.

C.Agreement Terms Modifications

None.

D.Commercial Impacts

Owner acknowledges and agrees Contractor has used and is continuing to use reasonable efforts to progress the Work of LNTP No. 2 (including under Change Orders CO-011 and CO-012) and such Work is separate and apart from this LNTP No. 3.

III.SCOPE OF LNTP No. 3 WORK

A.LNTP No. 3 Site

For the purpose of the LNTP No. 3 Work and subject to the terms of the Agreement (including Section 3.24), Owner shall, at LNTP No. 3 Commencement, provide Contractor with access to and care and custody of the LNTP No. 3 Site (as defined below), and such access shall be sufficient to permit Contractor to progress with the LNTP No. 3 Work on a continuous basis without material interruption or interference by others in accordance with Section 4.3A of the Agreement.

Pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Agreement, Owner has provided to Contractor in Exhibit B (LNTP No. 3 Site Legal Description and Survey) attached to and made a part of this CO-013 (i) the legal description of the Site for the LNTP No. 3 Work (“LNTP No. 3 Site”); and (ii) a survey of the LNTP No. 3 Site showing the boundaries of the LNTP No. 3 Site and one survey control point. Contractor has received and reviewed the provided legal description and survey of the LNTP No. 3 Site and determined that Owner has satisfied such obligation and that no adjustments are required for Contractor to perform the LNTP No. 3 Work in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement (as amended by this CO-013). To the extent any existing above-ground structures or utilities are shown in the survey, Contractor shall independently verify the locations of such existing structures and utilities.

B.Scope of LNTP No. 3 Work

The LNTP No. 3 Work is defined in Exhibit C to this CO-013. The Work authorized under LNTP No. 2 (including work detailed in Change Order No. 11 (CO-011) and Change Order No. 12 (CO-012)) is separate and apart from the Work authorized under this LNTP No. 3. If: (i) Contractor does not complete the LNTP No. 3 Work by the completion date identified in Section II.A; (ii) the Monthly Payment for all months identified in Exhibit A to this CO-013 have been received by Contractor in cleared funds; and (iii) Contractor has not received further Limited Notice to Proceed or Notice to Proceed from Owner, then, as Owner’s sole remedy, Contractor shall, at its option either (y) credit Owner for all incomplete LNTP No. 3 Work for which Owner compensated Contractor based on mutual agreement of such incomplete Work (both acting reasonably), or (z) absent such mutual agreement, complete the LNTP No. 3 Work. If Contractor elects to complete the incomplete LNTP No. 3 Work and does so partially, Owner shall receive a credit for the portion of LNTP No. 3 Work that remains incomplete after Contractor's efforts to complete such Work. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor reserves the right to complete the LNTP No. 3 Work in its sole discretion. If Contractor has received further Limited Notice to Proceed or Notice to Proceed from Owner, then, subject to the Parties’ rights under the Agreement, the Parties agree that Owner shall have

fully compensated Contractor for the completion of all LNTP No. 3 Work and Contractor agrees to complete all incomplete LNTP No. 3 Work as part of the Work under such Limited Notice to Proceed or Notice to Proceed.

Pursuant to Section 3.2(G) and Attachment 16 (Contractor Permits) of the Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that it has obtained or will obtain all Contractor Permits that are necessary for the performance of the LNTP No. 3 Work and will continue to maintain such permits throughout performance of the LNTP No. 3 Work.

C.Agreement Terms Modifications

None.

D.Commercial Impacts

None.

IV.LNTP NO. 3 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

From LNTP No. 3 Work Commencement through completion of the LNTP No. 3 Work, Contractor shall maintain only those insurance coverages identified in Attachment 15 (Insurance) of the Agreement that are required for the LNTP No. 3 Work subject to the following modifications:

1)Clause 1.A.4: Excess Liability with a limit of Thirty Million US Dollars ($30M) per occurrence and in the aggregate;

2)Clause 1.A.9: Builder’s Risk Insurance Sum Insured of One Hundred Fifty Million US Dollars ($150M) including a Windstorm/Water Damage sublimit of Twenty-Five Million US Dollars ($25M);

4)Clause 1.A.11: Marine Cargo insurance for the replacement value of each shipment on a C.I.F. basis plus Ten percent (10%) with a maximum limit of Twenty-Five Million US Dollars ($25M) per conveyance;

5)Clause 1.A.12: Marine Cargo Delayed Startup Insurance will not be procured for this LNTP No. 3 Work;

6)Clause 1.A.13: Marine General Liability with a limit of Fifty Million US Dollars ($50M) per occurrence and in the aggregate; and

7)Clause 1.A.14: Contractor’s Pollution Liability with a limit of Ten Million US Dollars ($10M) per occurrence and in the aggregate.

A.Agreement Terms Modification

None.

B.Commercial Impacts

None.

V.LNTP NO. 3 PAYMENT SCHEDULE; TERMINATION

Subject to the terms of the Agreement (including Section 7.2D) as applicable for this LNTP No. 3, Owner shall pay Contractor the amounts specified in the table attached as Exhibit A to this CO-013 no later than the twenty-fifth (25th) Business Day of the month in which the payment is due, except for the Second Monthly Payment which shall be paid before commencement of the LNTP No. 3 Work as required by Section I of this CO-013.

Subject to Section III of this CO-013, Contractor shall credit Owner for all amounts paid for the LNTP No. 3 Work by representing such amounts in Contractor’s first invoice following NTP under “9. Less Previous Invoices” according to Schedule 9-2 (Form of Contractor’s Invoice) of the Agreement. Any Contract Price adjustments after the effective date of this CO-013 shall exclude all amounts paid by Owner to Contractor for the LNTP No. 3 Work.

Owner, in its sole discretion, may terminate the LNTP No. 3 Work at any time after commencement of the LNTP No. 3 Work, without cause, by providing at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice to the Contractor. As consideration for the right to terminate the LNTP No. 3 Work, Owner shall, upon the effective date of termination, pay to Contractor the lump-sum demobilization fee as specified in Exhibit A (“Demobilization Fee”), which shall be deemed to cover all costs and expenditures of Contractor in completely demobilizing Construction Equipment and Contractor Group personnel from the LNTP No. 3 Site; provided, that, if the LNTP No. 3 Work terminates before the end of any month, the Demobilization Fee for the period from the beginning of such month to the effective date of termination shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. The Parties intend the Demobilization Fee to be liquidated damages constituting compensation, and not a penalty. The Parties acknowledge and agree that damages resulting from termination pursuant to this Section II.D would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Demobilization Fee is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that may arise from such termination. Owner’s payment of the Demobilization Fee is the Owner’s sole liability and entire obligation and the Contractor’s exclusive remedy for any termination by Owner under this Section II.D. For avoidance of doubt, the payment schedule and demobilization fee (Exhibit A) for LNTP No. 3 is in addition to and does not replace the Owner’s existing obligations under LNTP No. 2 (CO-012) which remain in effect and continuing.

A.Agreement Payment Schedule Modifications

None.

B.Agreement Terms Modifications

None.

C.Commercial Impacts

None.

VI.OTHER COMMERCIAL ITEMS

Notwithstanding the Contract Price set out below, the bid validity for the Contract Price and Project Schedule proposal issued by Contractor on or about August 4, 2023, expired on December 15, 2023, and is no longer valid. The Owner shall not issue NTP until the Parties agree to a Pre-NTP Refresh Adjustment and Risk Sharing Mechanisms as set out in CO-011, and the lack of a Party’s agreement shall not be subject to Owner’s right to issue a unilateral Change Order.

A.Scope Modifications

None.

B.Agreement Terms Modifications

None.

C.Commercial Impacts

GENERAL	Jun. 30, 2024
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 a portfolio of LNG marketing and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and related pipelines. The Driftwood terminal and related pipelines are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project.” We refer to the Driftwood Project as the “Business.” 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. Upstream Sale On May 28, 2024, Tellurian Production LLC (“Tellurian Production Company”) and Tellurian Operating LLC (together with Tellurian Production Company, “Seller”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with Aethon United BR LP and Aethon III BR LLC (collectively, “Buyer”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell its upstream and related midstream assets in the Louisiana region of the Haynesville Shale to Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $260.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments (the “Upstream Sale”). The Upstream Sale closed on June 28, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been revised to reflect the effect of the Upstream Sale. The Upstream Sale was disclosed in prior periods as part of Management’s plans to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, for further information. Merger Agreement On July 21, 2024, Tellurian entered into a Merger Agreement with Woodside. Refer to Note 17, Subsequent Events. 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, 2023. 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. 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. There has been no change to our significant accounting policies as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, except as follows: Discontinued Operations The divestiture of a disposal group which represents a strategic shift to the Company’s operations and financial results is presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain or loss recognized is recognized as the consideration received from the sale less its net carrying value, and direct costs incurred to sell. Adjustments to amounts reported in discontinued operations are presented in subsequent periods. Interest costs associated with debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction are allocated to the discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group related to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Working capital that is not part of the disposal group is retained by the Company and presented as continuing operations. Cash flows from discontinued and continuing operations are presented on a consolidated basis within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Segments Following the Upstream Sale, the Company conducts its operations as a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis in our strategy to manage the Company. We are not required to disclose the information prescribed by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, for a reportable segment that qualifies for discontinued operations reporting. In addition, segment information for periods prior to the sale of a reportable segment is not required to be restated in the comparative periods. Going Concern 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. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205”), the Company evaluates whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has generated losses and cash outflows from operations. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues that is sufficient to satisfy our obligations and fund working capital needs as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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, the discontinued upstream operations, and the sale of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering programs. Our evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of activities that have not been fully implemented or are not within the Company’s direct control. Through the date of this filing, the Company has undertaken the following actions to improve its available cash balances and liquidity: •From January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, raised net proceeds of approximately $66.9 million from the sale of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs; and •On June 28, 2024, we closed the Upstream Sale and used approximately $229.9 million of the net proceeds to retire the then-outstanding principal obligations under the Company’s 10% Senior Secured Notes. On July 21, 2024, Tellurian entered into a Merger Agreement with Woodside. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Woodside Energy (USA), Inc. agreed to provide the Company with a bridge loan to continue Driftwood Project construction activities and fund working capital needs. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for defined terms and additional information. Management is planning to alleviate substantial doubt by closing the Merger with Woodside during the fourth quarter of 2024. However, completing the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including Tellurian shareholder approval and regulatory approvals, which are not within the Company’s control and, therefore, cannot be deemed probable in accordance with ASC 205. As a result, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the date of this filing. 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.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY	NOTE 11 — 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. On December 30, 2022, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering program for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $500.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued approximately 10.1 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued approximately 29.6 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $17.8 million. On May 3, 2024 we terminated this at-the-market equity offering program. On March 15, 2024, we entered into a new at-the-market equity offering program with capacity to raise aggregate sales proceeds of up to approximately $366.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued approximately 93.0 million shares of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program for net proceeds of approximately $49.0 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 14 — 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. 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.

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, 2023. 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. 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.
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations The divestiture of a disposal group which represents a strategic shift to the Company’s operations and financial results is presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain or loss recognized is recognized as the consideration received from the sale less its net carrying value, and direct costs incurred to sell. Adjustments to amounts reported in discontinued operations are presented in subsequent periods. Interest costs associated with debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction are allocated to the discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group related to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Working capital that is not part of the disposal group is retained by the Company and presented as continuing operations. Cash flows from discontinued and continuing operations are presented on a consolidated basis within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Segments	Segments Following the Upstream Sale, the Company conducts its operations as a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis in our strategy to manage the Company. We are not required to disclose the information prescribed by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, for a reportable segment that qualifies for discontinued operations reporting. In addition, segment information for periods prior to the sale of a reportable segment is not required to be restated in the comparative periods.
