Natural gas supply

The Company has entered into natural gas forward purchase contracts for the supply of feed gas to its LNG projects. The Company intends to take physical delivery of the contracted quantities through March 2032 at a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price for natural gas.

Firm transportation agreements

The Company has entered into long-term natural gas firm transportation service agreements with various pipeline companies to secure the natural gas transportation requirements for its LNG projects through April 2050.

Credit arrangements

The Company has entered into certain credit arrangements to secure the transportation of natural gas. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum undiscounted potential exposure associated with these arrangements was $260 million. This amount is not currently recognized as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. To date, no amounts have been drawn against these arrangements.

Litigation

The Company is involved in certain claims, suits, and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for litigation and claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
of loss can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance that these accrued liabilities will be adequate to cover all existing and future claims or that the Company will have the liquidity to pay such claims as they arise.

Where no accrued liability has been recognized, it may be reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. This could require the Company to pay damages or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of December 31, 2025.

Disputes with certain customers under the Calcasieu Project's post-COD SPAs are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for discussion of certain disputes with customers.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
