Notes
Release is a presentation dated September 25, 2026. Cash balance figures include adjustment for Daly Waters Infrastructure LP’s 50% share of restricted cash. Certain working interests are subject to completion of minority shareholder compulsory acquisition of Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited and conditional upon completion of acreage transactions with DWE. During commissioning period, Tamboran and DWE receive 75% of gas price due to interruptible gas supply; take-or-pay provisions apply to 40 TJ/d contract upon commencement of supply period. Company expects some revenue and costs related to Pilot Project will be capitalized to Balance Sheet during commissioning rather than flowing through Income Statement under US GAAP.
