Share purchase plan

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “will,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our current projections or expectations of future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. It is possible that the Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the failure to consummate the PIPE or transactions related to the SPP, our early stage of development with no material revenue expected until mid-calendar year 2026 and our limited operating history; the substantial additional capital required for our business plan, which we may be unable to raise on acceptable terms; our strategy to deliver natural gas to the Australian East Coast and select Asian markets being contingent upon constructing additional pipeline capacity, which may not be secured; the absence of proved reserves and the risk that our drilling may not yield natural gas in commercial quantities or quality; the uncertainty in estimating the characteristics of our property; the speculative nature of drilling activities, which involve significant costs and may not result in discoveries or additions to our future production or reserves; the challenges associated with importing U.S. practices and technology to the Northern Territory, which could affect our operations and growth due to limited local experience; the critical need for timely access to appropriate equipment and infrastructure, which may impact our market access and business plan execution; the operational complexities and inherent risks of drilling, completions, workover, and hydraulic fracturing operations that could adversely affect our business; the uncertainty of our industry as a whole; the volatility of natural gas prices and its potential adverse effect on our financial condition and operations; the difficulty in executing our business strategy if we cannot manage our future growth effectively, our inability to obtain the commercial contracts necessary to facilitate direct delivery of our natural gas production on commercially reasonable terms; the risks of construction delays, cost overruns, and negative effects on our financial and operational performance associated with midstream projects; the potential fundamental impact on our business if our assessments of the Beetaloo are materially inaccurate; the uncertainties in estimating existing quantities of proved and possible reserves; our dependence on certain members of management and our technical team; our limited control over properties operated by others or through joint ventures; the concentration of all our assets and operations in the Beetaloo, making us susceptible to region-specific risks; our inability to make accretive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses or assets; operating hazards that could result in liabilities for which we may not have adequate insurance coverage; the risks inherent to the exploration and production of natural gas; delays and cost overruns resulting from the long term development schedule of natural gas projects; the substantial doubt raised by our recurring operational losses, negative cash flows, and cumulative net losses about our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to attract a third-party partner and secure permitting to develop an additional LNG export terminal on Australia’s northern coast; financial crises; events outside our control, such as epidemics, geopolitical instability, or terrorist attacks; cybersecurity threats and disruptions, as well as any compromised information or systems resulting from such disruptions; potential legal proceedings that result in liabilities; risks related to corporate social responsibility and our estimates thereof; complex laws and regulations that could affect our operational costs and feasibility or lead to significant liabilities; community opposition that could result in costly delays and impede our ability to obtain necessary government approvals; exploration and development activities in the Beetaloo that may lead to legal disputes, operational disruptions, and reputational damage due to native title and heritage issues; the requirement to produce natural gas on a Scope 1 net zero basis upon commencement of commercial production, with internal net zero goals, which may increase our production costs; the increased attention to ESG matters and environmental conservation measures that could adversely impact our business operations; restrictions and delays that may result from federal and local initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing; reduced demand for the natural gas we produce or increased compliance costs due primarily to risks related to climate change; limitations on our ability to pursue business strategies if we incur costs related to a failure to comply with environmental, health or safety regulations; potential future regulation by the Northern Territory of Australia; unanticipated water and waste disposal costs as a result of increased water-related laws and regulations; restrictions on drilling, completion, production or related activities intended to protect certain species of wildlife; increased costs of compliance with evolving data privacy laws; risks related to our corporate structure; risks related to our common stock and CDIs; and the other risk factors discussed in this report and the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the filings made by Tamboran with the SEC, which are available to the public. Tamboran undertakes no obligation to, and does not intend to, update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after this press release. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.
This announcement was approved and authorised for release by Dick Stoneburner, the Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Tamboran Resources Corporation.
