| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On
July 13, 2022, Tellurian Production LLC (“Tellurian Production Company”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Tellurian Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with privately
held EnSight IV Energy Partners, LLC and EnSight Haynesville Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Seller”). Pursuant
to and subject to the terms and conditions of the PSA, Tellurian Production Company has agreed to acquire from the Seller for $125 million
in cash (the “Base Purchase Price”) certain assets in Louisiana, including, but not limited to, oil and gas leases,
wells, surface interests, facilities, equipment, and mineral interests (the “Asset Purchase”). The Base Purchase Price
is subject to customary upward or downward adjustments based on certain revenues and costs attributable to the purchased assets prior
to and after the economic effective date of August 1, 2022. In addition, if the average NYMEX
Henry Hub settlement price for natural gas for the eight contract months beginning August 2022 and ending March 2023 is greater
than a specified threshold, then an additional contingent cash payment of $7.5 million will be made by Tellurian Production Company
to the Seller.
The assets to be purchased
include approximately 5,000 net acres and 44 producing wells with current net production of approximately 45 million cubic feet of natural
gas per day. Pursuant to the PSA, concurrently with the execution of the PSA, Tellurian Production Company made a cash deposit in the
amount of $12.5 million (the “Deposit”), creditable against the amount required to be paid by it at the closing
of the Asset Purchase. The Seller will be entitled to receive the Deposit if Tellurian Production Company fails to consummate the Asset
Purchase under certain conditions.
The PSA contains various representations,
warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations of Tellurian Production Company and the Seller that are customary in transactions
of this type. The closing of the Asset Purchase is subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among
others, the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties contained in the PSA and each party’s compliance with
its covenants and agreements contained in the PSA in all material respects. In addition, the PSA contains certain customary termination
rights for Tellurian Production Company and the Seller, including the right of either party to terminate in the event that the Asset Purchase
has not been completed by September 30, 2022.
The foregoing description
of the terms and conditions of the PSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the PSA, a
copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On July 13, 2022, the
Company issued a press release relating to the Asset Purchase and posted a new corporate presentation to its website. A copy of the press
release and the corporate presentation are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
The information set forth
in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information set forth in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished
and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
