Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1 — GENERAL

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.

Nature of Operations

We plan to develop, own and operate a global natural gas business and to deliver natural gas to customers worldwide. Tellurian is developing a portfolio of natural gas production, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets, including aan LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and an associated pipeline (the “Driftwood pipeline”) in southwest Louisiana. Tellurian plans to develop the Driftwood pipeline as part of what we refer to as the “Pipeline Network.” The Driftwood terminal, the Pipeline Network and ~~certain~~required natural gas production assets are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim financial statements 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, ~~2019.~~2020.

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.

Liquidity

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were 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 generated losses and negative cash flows from operations, and have an accumulated deficit. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues ~~or other sources of liquidity that are~~ sufficient to ~~cover~~satisfy our ~~future operating costs~~obligations and ~~obligations as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements.~~fund working capital needs.

We are planning to generate proceeds from ~~various potential financing transactions, such as utilizing~~ our at-the-market program ~~equity issuances, equity-linked and debt securities or similar transactions,~~ and have determined that it is probable that such proceeds will satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for at least twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. We also continue to evaluate generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions to fund our obligations and working capital needs.

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.

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~Credit Losses~~

~~On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~, as issued by the FASB. This standard established the current expected credit loss model, a new impairment model for certain financial instruments, based on expected rather than incurred losses. Adoption of this standard had no impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 2 — PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Land

We own land in Louisiana for the purpose of constructing the Driftwood Project.

~~Proved Properties Impairment~~

The carrying values of our proved natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the remaining carrying value may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2020, there were indicators that the carrying values of certain of our properties may be impaired as a result of depressed natural gas prices. We determined that these adverse market conditions represented a triggering event to perform an impairment assessment of our proved natural gas properties.

To determine whether impairment had occurred, we compared the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows from our natural gas properties to the carrying values of those properties. The estimated future cash flows used in the recoverability test are based on proved and, if determined reasonable by management, risk-adjusted probable and possible reserves and assumptions generally consistent with those used by us for internal planning and budgeting purposes. These include, among other things, the intended use of the asset, anticipated production from reserves, future market prices of natural gas adjusted for basis differentials, and future operating costs. Proved properties that have carrying amounts in excess of estimated future undiscounted cash flows are written down to fair value.

During the second quarter of 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $81.1 million primarily associated with our assets located in northern Louisiana. The impairment was recorded as a reduction to the assets’ carrying values to their estimated fair values of approximately $28.7 million. The estimated fair value of the impaired assets, as determined as of June 30, 2020, was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, as such, are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Key assumptions included in the calculation of the fair value included values for the following: (i) reserves; (ii) future commodity prices and (iii) future operating and development costs.

NOTE 4 — DEFERRED ENGINEERING COSTS

~~As of September 30, 2020, the deferred~~Deferred engineering ~~balance~~costs of approximately ~~$110.5~~$110.6 million, ~~represents~~represent detailed engineering services related to the planned construction of the Driftwood ~~terminal. This~~terminal as of March 31, 2021. The balance in this account will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching ~~FID.~~an affirmative FID by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Land Lease and Purchase Options

We hold lease and purchase option agreements (the “Options”) for certain tracts of land and associated river frontage. Upon exercise of the Options, the ~~respective~~ leases ~~will be~~are subject to maximum terms of 50 years ~~inclusive~~(inclusive of various renewals, ~~which are~~ at ~~our sole discretion.~~the option of the Company). Costs of the Options will be amortized over the life of the lease once obtained, or capitalized into the cost of land if purchased.

Permitting Costs

Permitting costs primarily represent the purchase of wetland credits in connection with our permit application to the USACE in 2017 and 2018. These wetland credits will be applied to our permit in accordance with the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, which require us to mitigate the potential impact to Louisiana wetlands that might be caused by the construction of the Driftwood Project. In May 2019, we received the USACE permit. The permitting costs will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching ~~FID.~~an affirmative FID by the Company’s Board of Directors.

NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, as part of entering into the senior secured term loan credit agreement in 2018, we are required to enter into and maintain certain hedging transactions. As a result, we use derivative financial instruments, namely OTC commodity swap instruments (“commodity swaps”), to maintain compliance with this covenant. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity swap agreements involve payments to or receipts from counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity, and include basis swaps to protect earnings from undue exposure to the risk of geographic disparities in commodity prices, as required by the negative covenant of the senior secured term loan credit agreement. The fair value of our commodity swaps is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is based on standard industry income

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

approach models that use significant observable inputs, including but not limited to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas forward curves and basis forward curves, all of which are validated against external sources at least monthly.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a net basis as they are with a single counterparty and subject to a master netting arrangement. The Company can net settle its derivative instruments at any time. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had a current liability, net of ~~$1.1~~$0.1 million, and a non-current liability, net of $0.1 million, with respect to the fair value of the current and non-current portion of our commodity swaps. ~~The current liability is classified within Accrued and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

We do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity swaps; therefore, all changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are recognized within Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we recognized a realized gain of ~~$1.0~~$0.4 million, ~~and $4.8 million, respectively,~~ as well as an unrealized loss of ~~$2.9~~$1.1 million ~~and $4.6 million, respectively,~~ related to the changes in fair value of the commodity swaps in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivative contracts which result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be used or sold by the Company in the normal course of business are designated as normal purchases and sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. OTC arrangements require settlement in cash. Settlements of commodity derivative instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

With respect to the commodity swaps, the Company hedged ~~4.8~~5.6 Bcf of its fixed price and basis exposure, which represents a portion of its expected sales of equity production as of ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The open positions ~~at September 30, 2020~~as of March 31, 2021 had maturities extending through September ~~2021. For additional details, refer to Note 9,~~ ~~Borrowings~~.2022.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In conjunction with the dismissal of ~~the~~prior litigation, ~~disclosed in Part I, Item 3, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,~~ we agreed to reimburse the ~~Vice-Chairman~~Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors, Martin Houston, for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses he incurred during the litigation. As of September 30, 2020, we have paid approximately $5.1 million to third parties to settle outstanding amounts incurred by Mr. Houston for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. We have also agreed to pay Mr. Houston approximately $2.3 million for other expenses he incurred in connection with the litigation. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021 a balance of approximately ~~$1.4~~$0.5 million remained owed to Mr. Houston and has been classified within Accounts payable due to related parties on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan

On March 12, 2021 (the “Extinguishment Date”), we finalized a voluntary repayment of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the 2019 Term Loan. A total of approximately $43.7 million was repaid to the lender throughout the first quarter of 2021 to satisfy the outstanding borrowing obligation. The extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan resulted in an approximately $2.1 million gain, which was recognized within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As a result of repaying the outstanding balance prior to its contractual maturity, an approximately $4.4 million in unamortized DFC and discount were included in the computation of the gain from the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan as of March 31, 2021.

The holder of the 2019 Term Loan held approximately 3.5 million unvested warrants that had a fair value of approximately $6.3 million as of the Extinguishment Date. Due to the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan, all the unvested warrants were contractually terminated (the “Terminated Warrants”), and their respective fair value was included in the computation of the gain on extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan.

The fair value of the Terminated Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Full Repayment of the 2020 Unsecured Note

On ~~April 29,~~March 31, 2020, we ~~issued a zero coupon $56.0~~made the final contractually required amortization payment of $4.0 million ~~face amount senior unsecured note (the “2020 Unsecured Note”) to an unrelated third party. Net proceeds raised from~~under the 2020 Unsecured Note were approximately $47.4 million, after deducting approximately $2.6 million in fees and $6.0 million in original issue discount. The 2020 Unsecured Note requires it to be repaid in installments on the first day of every month and these repayments began on June 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had repaid $26.5 millionterms of the 2020 Unsecured Note, ~~and the remaining repayments are scheduled as follows (in thousands):~~

Period Periodic Amount Total Amount
October 1, 2020 $ 5,000 $ 5,000
November 1, 2020 4,500 4,500
December 1, 2020 – April 1, 2021 4,000 20,000
Total remaining amortization payments $ 29,500

~~Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)~~

The 2020 Unsecured Note contains certain cash sweep provisions requiring that a portion of the proceeds from certain of our equity offerings and convertible securities offerings be used to repay the outstanding principal balance through additional amortization payments. Due to the amount of proceeds generated from the sale of our common stockthereby satisfying all financial obligations under our at-the-market program in June 2020, as well as the equity offering completed on July 24, 2020, these cash sweep provisions were triggered on July 1, 2020 and August 3, 2020, requiring us to make the maximum amount of additional amortization payments for a total of $8.0 million in additional repayments of the outstanding principal balance. As a result of these additional repayments, the final payment associated with the 2020 Unsecured ~~Note is scheduled to occur on April 1, 2021 instead of June 1, 2021 as originally scheduled. For more information about the transactions that triggered the cash sweep provisions, see Note 11,~~ ~~Stockholders’ Equity.~~

In conjunction with the 2020 Unsecured Note, we issued to the lender a warrant to purchase 20.0 million shares of our common stock (the “Unsecured Warrant”). The fair value of the Unsecured Warrant of approximately $16.1 million has been recognized as an original issue discount to the 2020 Unsecured Note. ~~For more information about the Unsecured Warrant, see Note 11,~~ ~~Stockholders’ Equity.~~

The lender may require us to repurchase the 2020 Unsecured Note upon a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2020 Unsecured Note) or an event of default at 105% and 115%, respectively, of the remaining outstanding principal balance. If an event of default occurs which cannot be cured within certain time periods, we have the right to pay in cash. However, to the extent that we do not pay in cash, the lender will have the right to convert the outstanding face amount into shares of our common stock based on a formula defined in the 2020 Unsecured Note. We may prepay the 2020 Unsecured Note in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty.

~~2019 Term Loan~~

On May 23, 2019, Driftwood Holdings LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Driftwood Holdings”), entered into a senior secured term loan agreement (the “2019 Term Loan”) to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million. Fees associated with entering into the 2019 Term Loan of approximately $2.2 million have been capitalized as deferred financing costs. The 2019 Term Loan agreement provided Driftwood Holdings the right to borrow an additional $15.0 million, which it did on July 16, 2019. The 2019 Term Loan bore a fixed annual interest rate of 12%, of which 4% Driftwood Holdings could add to the outstanding principal as paid-in-kind interest at the end of each reporting period. In addition to the fixed annual interest rate, upon maturity or early repayment of the 2019 Term Loan, Driftwood Holdings was also obligated to pay a final fee equal to 20% of the principal amount borrowed less financing costs and cash interest paid (the “Final Payment Fee”) to the lender. On February 28, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan which allowed us to enter into a land lease for the Driftwood Project. The First Amendment had no financial statement impact in regard to accounting for our borrowings.

On March 23, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan. The outstanding principal balance as of the Second Amendment date was $75.0 million. The Second Amendment, among other things, made the following changes to the 2019 Term Loan:

•~~Extended the maturity date from May 23, 2020 to November 23, 2021;~~

•~~Modified the frequency of interest payments from quarterly to monthly;~~

•~~Modified the interest rate from 12% per annum, with the ability to defer 4% per annum as paid-in-kind, to 16% per annum, with the ability to defer 8% per annum as paid-in-kind;~~

•~~Required a principal payment of $3.0 million by April 22, 2020; and~~

•~~Reduced the required month-end collateral amount from $30.0 million to $12.0 million.~~

Upon entering into the Second Amendment, we repaid $2.0 million of the outstanding principal balance and issued 11,019,298 shares of our common stock in exchange for cancellation of the Final Payment Fee and all accrued paid-in-kind interest through March 22, 2020.

The Second Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification with no gain or loss recognized, and differences in fair value for amounts settled or paid were capitalized as part of the 2019 Term Loan debt issuance discount. The Second Amendment resulted in an increase of approximately $0.9 million in the debt issuance discount associated with the 2019 Term Loan.

Also, in conjunction with the Second Amendment, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Original Warrant”) previously issued as part of the 2019 Term Loan was replaced with a new warrant (the “Replacement Warrant”). The difference in fair value between the Original Warrant and the Replacement Warrant was an increase of approximately $0.3 million and has been recognized as a debt issuance discount to the 2019 Term Loan. Refer to Note 11, ~~Stockholders’ Equity, for further details.~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)~~

On April 28, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan, which became effective on April 29, 2020. In conjunction with the Third Amendment, we repaid $17.1 million of the outstanding principal balance. This principal repayment was made with the issuance of 9,348,706 shares of our common stock as well as a cash payment of $2.1 million.

In conjunction with the Third Amendment, we issued to the lender a common stock purchase warrant (the “Third Amendment Warrant”). The fair value of the Third Amendment Warrant of approximately $5.7 million was recognized as an original issue discount to the 2019 Term Loan.

On September 21, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan. The Fourth Amendment extended the maturity date of the 2019 Term Loan from November 23, 2021 to March 23, 2022. In conjunction with the Fourth Amendment, we repaid $12.0 million of the outstanding principal balance.

We may prepay the 2019 Term Loan in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the 2019 Term Loan are guaranteed by Tellurian Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Tellurian Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, other than Tellurian Production Holdings LLC (“Production Holdings”) and its subsidiaries, under one or more security agreements and pledge agreements.

2018 Term Loan

On September 28, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Tellurian Production Holdings LLC (“Production Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a three-year senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “2018 Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million.

Our use of proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan is predominantly restricted to capital expenditures associated with certain development and drilling activities and fees related to the transaction itself. ~~At September 30, 2020,~~As of March 31, 2021, unused proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan totaled $3.4 million and were classified as Non-current restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have the right, but not the obligation, to make voluntary principal repayments starting six months following the Closing Date in a minimum amount of $5.0 million or any integral multiples of $1.0 million in excess thereof. If no voluntary principal repayments are made, the principal amount, together with any accrued interest, is payable at the maturity date of

September 28, 2021. The 2018 Term Loan can be terminated without penalty, with an early termination payment equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest.

Amounts borrowed under the 2018 Term Loan are guaranteed by Tellurian Inc. and each of Production Holdings’ subsidiaries. The 2018 Term Loan is collateralized by a first priority lien on all assets of Production Holdings and its subsidiaries, including our proved natural gas properties.

On February 18, 2021, we voluntarily repaid approximately $43.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan outstanding principal balance. As a result of this voluntary repayment, we recognized an approximately $0.5 million loss, which was netted against the gain on extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan, and presented within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on this partial extinguishment due to the pro-rata recognition of the unamortized DFC and discount associated with the 2018 Term Loan. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information.

The carrying value of the 2018 Term Loan approximates its fair value.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

~~2020 Unsecured Note~~2019 Term Loan

During the first quarter of 2021, the lender of the 2019 Term Loan purchased approximately 6.0 million shares of our common stock for total proceeds of approximately $8.2 million. As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, ~~on April 29,~~ the 2019 Term Loan has been repaid in full and the lender no longer holds any warrants.

2020 ~~(the “Issuance Date”), in~~Unsecured Note

In conjunction with the issuance of the 2020 Unsecured Note, we issued a warrant providing the lender with the right to purchase up to 20.0 million shares of our common stock at $1.542 per ~~share.~~share (the “2020 Warrant”). The ~~Unsecured~~2020 Warrant ~~which~~ vested ~~on the Issuance Date, may not be exercised until October 29, 2020~~immediately and will expire ~~five years after it becomes exercisable.~~in October 2025. The Unsecured Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a relative fair value of approximately $16.1 million on the Issuance Date and is not subject to subsequent remeasurement. The Unsecured2020 Warrant has been ~~classified as equity and is recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

~~2019 Term Loan~~

~~As discussed in Note 9,~~ ~~Borrowings, we have entered into 4 amendments to~~excluded from the ~~2019 Term Loan. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we replaced the previously issued Original Warrant, which provided the lender with the right to purchase up to 1.5 million shares~~computation of ~~our common stock at $10.00~~diluted loss per share with the Replacement Warrant, which provides the lender with the right to purchase 9.0 million shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, we issued the Third Amendment Warrant which provides the lender with the right to purchase approximately 4.7 million shares of our common stock at $1.542 per share. The Third Amendment Warrant expires five years after the date of the Third Amendment. Half of the Third Amendment Warrant vested immediately, but may not be exercised until October 29, 2020, and the remaining half will vest, and become exercisable, on October 29, 2020.

The aggregate number of unvested shares of our common stock provided to the lender under the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant will be reduced proportionately as a result of any partial repayment of the 2019 Term Loan principal and,because including it in the ~~event~~computation would have been antidilutive for the outstanding balance of the 2019 Term Loan is repaid in full, any unvested tranches will be canceled as of the date of such repayment. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate number of unvested shares of our common stock provided to the lender under the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant has been reduced by approximately 2.0 million shares due to partial repayments of the outstanding principal balance.

~~The Replacement Warrant expires five years after the date of the Second Amendment and vests as follows (in thousands):~~


~~Vesting~~						~~Number of Shares~~
~~Immediately~~						~~3,000~~
~~March 23, 2021~~						~~1,924~~
~~June 23, 2021~~						~~1,924~~
~~Total~~						~~6,848~~

The Replacement Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a fair value of approximately $3.6 million on the date of the Second Amendment. The difference between the fair values of the Original Warrant and the Replacement Warrant was an increase of approximately $0.3 million and has been classified as equity and recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, as the total number of warrants was no longer fixed, approximately $2.4 million was recognized as a liability on the date of the Second Amendment. This liability is remeasured every period end while it remains unvested, and if the vesting event occurs, the applicable portion of the liability will be remeasured on said vesting date and reclassified to equity. As of September 30, 2020, we have

~~Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)~~

~~recognized approximately $2.3 million within Accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with the Replacement Warrant.~~

The Third Amendment Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a fair value of approximately $5.7 million on the date of the Third Amendment. As only half of the Third Amendment Warrant has vested, and is therefore fixed, approximately $2.9 million has been classified as equity and recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining approximately $2.8 million did not meet the fixed for fixed criteria for equity classification, and was recognized as a liability on the date of the Third Amendment. This liability is remeasured every period end while it remains unvested and if the vesting event occurs, the applicable portion of the liability will be remeasured on said vesting date and reclassified to equity. As of September 30, 2020, we have recognized approximately $1.1 million within Accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with the Third Amendment Warrant.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized an unrealized gain of approximately $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, within Other income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement due to the remeasurement of the unvested portion of the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant.periods presented.

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 Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, 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 1-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 1-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 12 ~~— SEVERANCE AND REORGANIZATION~~

We implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan during the first quarter of 2020 due to the sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices as well as the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have satisfied all amounts owed to former employees as of September 30, 2020 and incurred approximately $6.4 million of severance and reorganization charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to reductions in workforce. The charges are presented within the caption Severance and reorganization charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

~~NOTE 13~~ — 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 (collectively, the “grantees”) 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 granted 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, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had approximately ~~28.3~~29.7 million shares of performance-based Restricted Stock outstanding, of which approximately ~~19.4~~19.3 million shares will vest entirely at FID, as defined in the award agreements, and approximately ~~8.2~~9.8 million shares will vest in one-third increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID. The remaining shares of performance-based Restricted Stock, totaling approximately ~~0.7~~0.6 million shares, will vest based on other criteria. As of ~~September 30, 2020, no~~March 31, 2021, 0 expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had approximately ~~8.4~~2.3 million shares of time-based Restricted Stock outstanding.

March 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately ~~$196.0~~$202.2 million. Further, the approximately ~~36.7~~32.0 million shares of performance-based and time-based Restricted Stock, as well as approximately ~~1.4~~11.2 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.

NOTE 1413 — 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

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 1514 — LEASES

Finance Leases

Our land leases are classified as financing leases and include ~~one~~1 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. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term for our financing leases was approximately fifty years. As none of our finance leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, was approximately 13%.

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our financing leases had a corresponding right of use asset of approximately ~~$20.1~~$19.9 million, which is recognized within Property, plant and equipment, net, and a total lease liability of approximately $13.5 million, which is recognized in Other non-current liabilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid approximately $0.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in cash for amounts included in the measurement of finance lease liabilities, all of which are presented within the finance section of our cash flows.respectively.

Operating Leases

Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include ~~one~~1 or more options to extend the lease term for 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 of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was approximately ~~six~~five years. As none of our operating leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, was approximately 8%.

~~Upon entering into the Second Amendment,~~2021, we repaid ~~$2.0~~a total of approximately $102.7 million ~~of the~~in outstanding principal balance ~~and issued 11,019,298 shares~~ of our ~~common stock for relief~~borrowing obligations. As of ~~the Final Payment Fee (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan) and all accrued paid-in-kind interest through~~ March ~~22, 2020.~~

31, 2021, we had one term loan outstanding with an outstanding balance of $17.0 million. On April ~~28, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into~~23, 2021, the ~~third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan which became effective on April 29, 2020. In conjunction with the Third Amendment, we repaid $17.1 million of the~~remaining outstanding principal balance using approximately 9.3 million shares of our common stock and $2.1 million in cash and a warrant to purchase approximately 4.7 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $1.542. The number of shares issuable under the warrant may be reduced if we make any partial cash repayment of the 2019 Term Loan principal prior to its vesting in full on October 29, 2020.

As a result of the principal repayments associated the Third and Fourth Amendments, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock issuable under the warrants held by the lender were reduced by approximately 2.0 million. For further information regarding the remaining warrants, see Note 11, ~~Stockholders’ Equity, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

~~2020 Unsecured Note~~

On April 29, 2020, we issued a zero coupon $56.0 million senior unsecured note (the “2020 Unsecured Note”) to a third party, raising proceeds of approximately $47.4 million, net of approximately $2.6 million in fees. We also issued the lender a warrant to purchase 20.0 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $1.542 per share. The 2020 Unsecured Note is subject to certain cash sweep provisions and a portion of the 2020 Unsecured Note must be paid on the first day of every month, beginning on June 1, 2020. Due to the amount of proceeds generated from the sale of our common stock under our at-the-market program in June 2020, as well as the equity offering completed on July 24, 2020, these cash sweep provisions were triggered on July 1, 2020 and August 3, 2020, requiring us to make a total of $8.0 million in additional repayments of the outstanding principal balance. As a result of these additional repayments, the final payment associated with the 2020 Unsecured Note is scheduled to occur on April 1, 2021 instead of June 1, 2021 as originally scheduled.

~~Equity Offering~~

On July 24, 2020, we completed a registered direct offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 35,000,000 million shares of our common stock at an offering price of $1.00 per share. Net proceeds from the transaction were approximately $32.8 million.

~~LNG Marketing~~

~~In July 2020, we purchased the first cargo of LNG pursuant to the master LNG sale and purchase agreement entered into on April 23, 2019. This cargo~~ was ~~subsequently sold to an unrelated third party resulting in revenue of approximately $7.0 million.~~

~~Restructuring~~

In March 2020, we implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan (the “Reorganization Plan”) and incurred approximately $6.4 million of severance and reorganization charges due to a reduction in workforce. The Reorganization Plan has been implemented due to the sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices as well as the growing negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have satisfied all amounts owed to former employees.voluntarily repaid.

Since January 1, ~~2020,~~2021, and through ~~the date of this filing,~~April 30, 2021, we have sold approximately ~~23.2~~46.5 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market program for total proceeds of approximately ~~$28.2~~$104.3 million, net of approximately ~~$0.9~~$3.2 million in fees and commissions. We plan to enter into a new at-the-market equity offering program shortly after the filing of this report.

As of March 31, 2021, we had total indebtedness of $17.0 million that is scheduled to be repaid within the next twelve months. We also had contractual obligations associated with our finance and operating leases totaling $107.4 million, of which $4.8 million is scheduled to be paid within the next twelve months.

On April 23, 2021, the remaining indebtedness balance of $17.0 million was voluntarily repaid.

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

We are planning to generate proceeds from our at-the-market program and have determined that it is probable that such proceeds will satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for at least twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. We also continue to evaluate generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions to fund our obligations and working capital needs.

Capital Development Activities

The activities we have proposed will require significant amounts of capital and are subject to risks and delays in completion. We have received all regulatory approvals 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.

We currently estimate the total cost of the Driftwood Project to be approximately ~~$28.9~~$24.7 billion, including owners’ costs, transaction costs and contingencies but excluding interest costs incurred during construction of the Driftwood terminal and other financing costs. We have entered into four LSTK EPC agreements currently totaling $15.5 billion, or $561 per tonne, with Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc. (“Bechtel”) for construction of the Driftwood terminal. The proposed Driftwood terminal will have a liquefaction capacity of up to approximately 27.6 Mtpa and will be situated on approximately 1,000 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.

In addition, ~~the~~part of our strategy involves acquiring additional natural gas ~~production activities we are pursuing will require considerable capital resources.~~properties, including properties in the Haynesville shale trend. We intend to pursue potential acquisitions of such assets, or public or private companies that own such

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

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

assets, in 2021. We would 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 relative to the detailed engineering work and other developmental costs, natural gas development costs, and general and administrative costs through the use of cash on hand, proceeds from operations, and proceeds from completed and future issuances of securities by us. 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 short- and medium-term 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.

We currently expect that our long-term capital requirements will be financed by proceeds from future debt, equity and/or equity-linked transactions. In addition, part of our financing strategy is expected to involve seeking equity investments by LNG customers at a subsidiary level. If the types of financing we expect to pursue are not available, we will be required to seek alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Our consolidated net loss was approximately ~~$29.5~~$27.0 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of approximately ~~$39.6~~$40.7 million during the same period in ~~2019.~~2020. The decrease in net loss of approximately ~~$10.1~~$13.7 million is primarily a result of the following:

•~~Increase~~Decrease of approximately ~~$4.9~~$5.5 million in ~~total revenue, which is primarily attributable~~severance and reorganization charges due to the ~~sale~~lack of ~~an LNG cargo in~~these activities during the current ~~period compared to no sales in the prior~~ period.

•~~Increase of approximately $7.0 million in cost of sales, which is attributable to the costs associated with the sale of an LNG cargo.~~

•Decreases of approximately ~~$11.6~~$2.1 million and approximately ~~$9.9~~$3.0 million in general and administrative expenses and development expenses, respectively, due to an overall decrease in business activities during the quarter.

~~Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

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

•Decrease of approximately ~~$3.9~~$3.2 million in DD&Adue to the lower net book value utilized in the calculation when compared to the prior period.

•Increase of approximately $9.9 million in interest expense, net, which is primarily attributable to the amortization of the discount associated with the 2020 Unsecured Note which was absent in the prior period.

Our consolidated net loss was approximately $199.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of approximately $114.2 million during the same period in 2019. The increase in net loss of approximately $84.8 million is primarily a result of the following:

•A one-time impairment charge of $81.1 million related to our proved natural gas properties. This impairment charge was a result of depressed natural gas prices caused by the combined impact of increased production and falling demand brought about by current economic conditions. For further information regarding this impairment charge, see Note 3, ~~Property, Plant and Equipment, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

•~~Increase of approximately $9.9 million in cost of sales primarily attributable to the costs associated with the sale of an LNG cargo.~~

•~~Charges of approximately $7.4 million in connection with related party transactions compared to zero in the prior period. For further information regarding these related party charges, see Note 7,~~ ~~Related Party Transactions, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

•Severance and reorganization charges of approximately $6.4 million were incurred during the period in connection with the Reorganization Plan. For further information regarding the Reorganization Plan, see Note 12, ~~Severance and Reorganization, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

•Increase of approximately $23.5 million in interest expense, net, which is primarily attributable to both the 2019 Term Loan and 2020 Unsecured Note incurring interest charges during the current period compared to only a portion of the 2019 Term Loan incurring charges during the prior period.

The increase in expenses above was partially offset by an increase in total revenue of approximately $9.2 million due primarily to the sale of an LNG cargo and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $24.5 million as well as an approximate $20.1 million decrease in development expenses due to an overall decrease in business activities during the period.

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, ~~2019,~~2020, as ~~amended, except for the risk factors discussed below.~~

~~Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as the currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, may adversely affect our efforts to reach a final investment decision with respect to the Driftwood Project.~~

Pandemics or disease outbreaks such as the currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak may have a variety of adverse effects on our business, including by depressing commodity prices and the market value of our securities and limiting the ability of our management to travel to meet with partners and potential partners. Prospects for the development and financing of the Driftwood Project are based in part on factors including global economic conditions that have been, and are likely to continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional effects of the pandemic on our business may include limits on the ability of our employees, or those of partners or vendors, to provide necessary services due to illness or quarantines and governmental restrictions on travel, imports or exports or financial transactions.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic, actions that have been and may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on the businesses of our customers, and the duration of the resulting macroeconomic conditions, all of which are uncertain and are difficult to predict at this time.

~~Declines in the prices we receive for our natural gas production may result in reductions in our reserves.~~

The quantity and value of our natural gas reserves depend in significant part on the prices we receive for our natural gas production. Absent a significant increase in those prices, the proved undeveloped reserves reflected in the December 31, 2020 annual reserve report may be substantially reduced relative to the proved undeveloped reserves included in our December 31, 2019 reserve report, and the PV-10 and standardized measure value of our reserves may decline accordingly.amended.
