Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the approval of the Restructuring Plan creditors.

Previous report

Pursuant to Part 26A of the UK Companies Act 2006, in order for the CoreCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Global and the creditors subject to the CoreCo Plan, either: (a) a majority representing 75% in value of each class of CoreCo Plan creditors present and voting at the meeting ordered to be summoned by the UK High Court votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan; or (b) a majority representing 75% in value of at least one class of CoreCo Plan creditors votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan and the UK High Court is satisfied that: (i) that class would receive a payment and/or have a genuine economic interest in NFE Global in the relevant alternative, and (ii) each dissenting class would be no worse off under the CoreCo Plan than in the relevant alternative; the BrazilCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Brazil Newco and the creditors subject to the BrazilCo Plan, a majority representing 75% in value of the class of BrazilCo Plan Creditors votes in favor of the BrazilCo Plan, (the “BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval”). In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, the Restructuring Plans must then be sanctioned by an order of the UK High Court, and an official copy of the order must be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales for registration. The Restructuring Plans are conditional upon each other. If the Restructuring Plans become effective (i) the CoreCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the CoreCo Plan, and (ii) the BrazilCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the BrazilCo Plan, in both cases from the effective date of the Restructuring Plans. Although creditors that are party to the RSA are expected to vote in favor of the Restructuring Plans, in the event that the RSA was terminated in accordance with its terms, any Restructuring Plan creditor that was party to the RSA would cease to be bound by its obligation to support the Restructuring Plans. If the BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval is not obtained, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented. Even if the CoreCo Plan creditors approve the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan creditors approve the BrazilCo Plan, the Restructuring Plans may be objected to and may not be completed. If the CoreCo Plan is approved at the creditor meetings for the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan is approved at the creditor meeting for the BrazilCo Plan, it is possible for a person with an interest in the relevant Restructuring Plans (whether a Restructuring Plan creditor or otherwise) to lodge objections to the relevant Restructuring Plans with the UK High Court, and, if such objections have been lodged, to attend or be represented at the Restructuring Plans sanction hearing to make representations that the relevant Restructuring Plans should not be approved and/or to appeal against the granting of the sanction order. Therefore, there can be no assurance that objections will not be made at or before t…

Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the sanction of the UK High Court.

Previous report

In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, they must receive the sanction of the UK High Court. The UK High Court will not sanction the Restructuring Plans unless it is satisfied that the correct procedures have been followed, the proposed arrangements are fair and that there are no other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be approved. There can be no assurance that the UK High Court will determine that the Restructuring Plans are fair or that the UK High Court will not conclude that there are other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be sanctioned. If the UK High Court does not exercise its discretion to sanction the Restructuring Plans, or sanctions either Restructuring Plans subject to conditions or amendments which: (i) the Company deems unacceptable; or (ii) would have (directly or indirectly) a material adverse effect on the interests of any Restructuring Plan creditor and such conditions or amendments are not approved by the Restructuring Plan creditors, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented.

The Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or enforced in the United States or Mexico.

Previous report

It is contemplated that the PlanCos will seek recognition of the Restructuring Plans under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, there is a possibility that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court will not recognize the Restructuring Plans under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the view expressed in the foreign expert opinion obtained by the PlanCos, if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court declines to issue the U.S. Chapter 15 recognition order, the Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or be enforceable against a Restructuring Plan creditor in the United States. In these circumstances, the Restructuring Plan creditors would not be prevented from trying to enforce their rights in the applicable courts, as they otherwise would be if the U.S. Chapter 15 recognition order were granted. The PlanCos intend to obtain a foreign expert opinion that the Restructuring Plans will be recognized in Mexico. Notwithstanding the view expressed in the foreign expert opinion, the Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or be enforceable against a Restructuring Plan creditor in Mexico. In these circumstances, the Restructuring Plan creditors would not be prevented from trying to enforce their rights in the applicable courts.

Previous wording

On March 17, 2026, we entered into a RSA with certain of our key creditors, which contemplates a comprehensive restructuring of our principal funded debt obligations. The Company intends to implement the Restructuring Transaction through UK court-sanctioned Restructuring Plans promoted by two indirect subsidiaries, with recognition sought in the U.S. under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which will bind all lenders and noteholders and release the Company and all guarantors from obligations under the relevant debt instruments. For further discussion on the RSA, the Restructuring Plans and the Restructuring Transaction, see Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 17, 2026, we entered into a RSA with certain of our key creditors, which contemplates a comprehensive restructuring of our principal funded debt obligations. Although the Company has received approval of the Restructuring Transaction through the UK court-sanctioned Restructuring Plans promoted by two indirect subsidiaries, which has been recognized in the United States under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which will bind all lenders and noteholders and release the Company and all guarantors from obligations under the relevant debt instruments, there remain risks that the Restructuring Transaction will not be completed. For further discussion on the RSA, the Restructuring Plans and the Restructuring Transaction, see Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Previous wording

The successful implementation of the RSA, the Restructuring Plans and the Restructuring Transaction is critical to our ability to continue as a going concern and is subject to numerous conditions, milestones, and approvals, including the consent of various creditor groups, certain stockholder approvals and approval by the UK High Court and U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and regulatory authorities. Failure to satisfy or obtain waivers for these conditions or to meet required milestones could result in the termination of the RSA, loss of creditor support, or inability to consummate the Restructuring Transaction as contemplated. There can be no assurance that the Restructuring Transaction will be completed on the terms described, on the anticipated timeline, or at all. Failure to consummate the Restructuring Transaction would result in the Company being required or compelled to pursue alternative in-court restructuring initiatives to preserve value, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the value of our securities and likely result in no recovery to stockholders.

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, management has concluded that, our current liquidity and forecasted cash flows from operations are not probable to be sufficient to support, in full, obligations as they become due over the next twelve-month period, and there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Restructuring Transaction is not consummated as contemplated, the Company will be required or compelled to pursue alternative in-court restructuring initiatives to preserve value, which would have a material and adverse impact on stockholders and likely result in no recovery to stockholders. The process of implementing the Restructuring Transaction and the associated Restructuring Plans is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for sanction by the UK High Court, recognition in the United States under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and approval of several stockholder proposals. See “Risks Related to our Business—We are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with the Restructuring Transaction, the Restructuring Plans and the RSA.” There is no assurance that these approvals will be obtained on the anticipated timeline or at all. The Company and its creditors must also negotiate and finalize definitive documentation, and any failure to reach agreement or to satisfy the process milestones could result in termination of the RSA, after which creditors may pursue enforcement actions that could accelerate the Company’s financial distress. In addition, volatility in financial markets, changes in interest rates, or adverse economic developments could impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital or refinance obligations, even during the restructuring process. The Company must also meet a consolidated minimum liquidity threshold at closing, and if this threshold is not met, it may be required to raise additional capital under tight time constraints, which may not be possible on acceptable terms.

Even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, the Company will continue to face substantial risks. Its future performance will depend on its ability to execute its revised business plan, which may be subject to operational, regulatory, and market risks, and it may require additional funding in the future to support operations, capital expenditures, or growth initiatives. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. The new debt and equity instruments issued in the restructuring may impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, asset sales, and distributions. The restructuring will result in significant dilution to existing equity holders, and the value of new equity securities may be volatile and subject to further decline. In addition to the Restructuring Transaction and the separation of BrazilCo, the Company continues to actively consider and evaluate further opportunistic strategies that seek to optimize the value of CoreCo’s portfolio, while providing additional liquidity and cash flow to the remaining CoreCo business. These strategies may include the sale of certain CoreCo assets, capital raising transactions or other strategic transactions. However, there are inherent uncertainties regarding the ability of CoreCo to effect any such transactions, and substantial risks relating to the ability of CoreCo to realize the anticipated benefits of pursuing one or more of these strategies. As such, even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, substantial risks will remain that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and events of default under the Company’s debt agreements, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will issue to these lenders and noteholders CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock that is mandatorily convertible after three years into a number of shares of Class A common stock representing 87% of the fully-diluted Class A common stock outstanding as of the closing of the Restructuring Transaction (after giving effect to the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be issued on the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction and shares authorized under the Incentive Plan), and holders of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the Class A common stock during the first three years. Additionally, the Company will issue to certain existing lenders and noteholders shares of Class A common stock representing 65% of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction (before giving effect to shares authorized under the Incentive Plan or any conversion of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock into the Company’s Class A common stock). If approved, the number of shares reserved under the Incentive Plan would represent approximately 10% of the Class A common stock outstanding as of the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction (before giving effect to any conversion of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock). These parties may (subject to any contractual limitations, if applicable) seek to sell their shares. Other stockholders may also seek to sell shares held by them following, or in anticipation of, the completion of the Restructuring Transaction. Sales of substantial amounts of Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, coupled with the increase in the outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock relative to shares outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Furthermore, because of the nature of our infrastructure, we are dependent on interconnection with transmission systems and other infrastructure projects of third parties, including our customers, and/or governmental entities. Such third-party projects can be greenfield or brownfield projects, including modifications to existing infrastructure or increases in capacity to existing facilities, among others, and are subject to various construction risks and additional operational monitoring and balancing requirements that may impact the design of facilities to be constructed. Delays from such third parties or governmental entities could prevent connection to our projects and generate delays in our ability to develop our own projects. In addition, a primary focus of our business is the development of projects in foreign jurisdictions, including in locations where we have no prior development experience, and we expect to continue expanding into new jurisdictions in the future. These risks can be increased in jurisdictions where legal processes, language differences, cultural expectations, currency exchange requirements, political relations with the U.S. government, changes in the political views and structure, government representatives, new regulations, regulatory reviews, employment laws and diligence requirements can make it more difficult, time-consuming and expensive to develop a project. See “–Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate—We are subject to the economic, political, social and other conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate.”

Our operations are, and will be, dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in the markets in which we operate. In the United States, due mainly to a historic abundant supply of natural gas and discoveries of substantial quantities of unconventional or shale natural gas, imported LNG has not developed into a significant energy source. The success of the domestic liquefaction component of our business plan is dependent, in part, on the extent to which natural gas can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced in the United States at a lower cost than the cost to produce some domestic supplies of other alternative energy sources, and that it can be transported at reasonable rates through appropriately scaled infrastructure. LNG prices have increased materially in the past, including in August 2021 through the end of 2022, and global events, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and global inflationary pressures, have generated further energy pricing volatility, which have had and may in the future have an adverse effect on market pricing of LNG and global demand for our products, as well as our ability to remain competitive in the markets in which we operate. Potential expansion in the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world where we may operate is primarily dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in those geographical locations. For example, in the Caribbean, due mainly to a lack of regasification infrastructure and an underdeveloped international market for natural gas, natural gas has not yet developed into a significant energy source. In Brazil, hydroelectric power generation is the predominant source of electricity and LNG is one of several other energy sources used to supplement hydroelectric generation. The success of our operations is dependent, in part, on the extent to which LNG can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced internationally and delivered to our customers at a lower cost than the cost to deliver other alternative energy sources.

The design, construction and operation of our infrastructure, facilities and businesses, including our FSRUs, FLNG units and LNG carriers, the import and export of LNG, exploration and development activities, and the transportation of natural gas, among others, are highly regulated activities at the national, state and local levels and are subject to various approvals and permits. The process to obtain the permits, approvals and authorizations we need to conduct our business, and the interpretations of those rules, is complex, time-consuming, challenging and varies in each jurisdiction in which we operate. We may be unable to obtain such approvals on terms that are satisfactory for our operations and on a timeline that meets our commercial obligations. Many of these permits, approvals and authorizations require public notice and comment before they can be issued, which can lead to delays to respond to such comments, and even potentially to revise the permit application. Jurisdiction-specific employment, labor, and subcontracting laws may also affect contracting strategies and impact construction and operations. We may also be (and have been in select circumstances) subject to local opposition, including citizens groups or non-governmental organizations such as environmental groups, which may create delays and challenges in our permitting process and may attract negative publicity, which may create an adverse impact on our reputation. In addition, such rules change frequently and are often subject to discretionary interpretations, including administrative and judicial challenges by regulators, all of which may make compliance more difficult and may increase the length of time it takes to receive regulatory approval for our operations, particularly in countries where we operate, such as Mexico and Brazil. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain approval of all applications or receive the required permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies related to our projects with favorable terms on a timely basis or at all. We cannot make any assurance as to if or when we will receive these permits, which are needed prior to commencing certain construction activities related to our projects. Any administrative and judicial challenges to our permits can delay and protract the process for obtaining and implementing permits and can also add significant costs and uncertainty. We cannot control the outcome of any review or approval process, including whether or when any such permits and authorizations will be obtained, the terms of their issuance, or possible appeals or other potential interventions by third parties that could interfere with our ability to obtain and maintain such permits and authorizations or the terms thereof. Furthermore, we are developing new technologies and operate in jurisdictions that may lack mature legal and regulatory systems and may experience legal instability, which may be subject t…

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, include our San Juan Facility, La Paz Facility and certain industrial end-users, and exclude developments in our Puerto Sandino Facility, Barcarena Facility, Santa Catarina Facility and Ireland Facility. Mexico and Puerto Rico have historically experienced economic volatility and the general condition and performance of their economies, over which we have no control, may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Mexico and Puerto Rico are subject to acts of terrorism or sabotage and natural disasters, in particular hurricanes, extreme weather conditions, crime and similar other risks which may negatively impact our operations in the region. See “—Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate—We are subject to the economic, political, social and other conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate.” We may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls. For instance, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations, sanctions, tariffs, and application thereof. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs intended to address trade deficits and inconsistent economic treatment of importation between the United States and other countries. In response, China, among others, has announced retaliatory tariffs against certain imports from the United States. Although we are continuing to evaluate the impact of these evolving developments, we cannot provide any assurance about the ultimate outcome or impact of these developments or other changes in trade policies, including the imposition, application or enforceability of tariffs between the United States and other countries. Furthermore, changes to trade policies, retaliatory measures, the ability to obtain refunds for previously paid tariffs that have subsequently been invalidated or prolonged uncertainty in trade relationships may negatively impact our operations and financial results, including through resulting supply chain disruptions, increased economic nationalism, negative macroeconomic conditions and increased operational complexity and costs.

We analyze and seek to implement innovative and new technologies that complement our businesses to reduce our costs, achieve efficiencies for our business and our customers and advance our long-term goals, such as our ISO container distribution system, our Fast LNG solution and our green hydrogen project. The success of our current operations and future projects will depend in part on our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry. We have developed our Fast LNG strategy to procure and deliver LNG to our customers more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional LNG procurement and delivery strategies used by other market participants. See “—Our Fast LNG technology a new strategy and may encounter unforeseen or unknown operational risks.” We continue to develop our ISO container distribution systems in the various markets where we operate. We expect to make additional investments in this field in the future. Because these technologies are innovative, we may be making investments in unproven business strategies and technologies with which we have limited or no prior development or operating experience. As an investor in these technologies, it is also possible that we could be exposed to claims and liabilities, expenses, regulatory challenges and other risks. We may not be able to successfully develop these technologies, and even if we succeed, we may ultimately not be able to realize the time, revenues and cost savings we currently expect to achieve from these strategies, which could adversely affect our financial results.

We have developed our Fast LNG strategy to procure and deliver LNG to our customers more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional LNG procurement and delivery strategies used by other market participants. Our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry may be adversely affected by unforeseen and unknown operational risks. We have commenced operations at our first Fast LNG facility. We are exploring opportunities to sell and complete development of our second FLNG facility and are therefore subject to construction risks, risks associated with third-party contracting (including the risk that we will not be able to execute contracts with third parties that are necessary to develop the project) and service providers, permitting and regulatory risks. See “—We are subject to various construction risks” and “—We depend on third-party contractors, operators and suppliers.” Because our Fast LNG technology is a new strategy, we are also exposed to unknown and unforeseen risks associated with the development of new technologies, including failure to meet design, engineering, or performance specifications, incompatibility of systems, inability to contract or employ third parties with sufficient experience in technologies used or inability by contractors to perform their work, delays and schedule changes, high costs and expenses that may be subject to increase or difficult to anticipate, regulatory and legal challenges, instability or clarity of application of laws, rules and regulations to the technology, and added difficulties in obtaining or securing required permits or authorizations, among others. For example, in April 2024, we experienced an incident involving equipment failure during the commissioning of our Fast LNG project in Altamira, Mexico, which delayed our commencement of operations and resulted in increased costs and delay of commencement of revenue generating activity. See “—Failure to obtain and maintain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies and third parties on favorable terms could impede operations and construction.” The success and profitability of our Fast LNG technology is also dependent on the volatility of the price of natural gas and LNG compared to the related levels of capital spending required to implement the technology. Natural gas and LNG prices have at various times been and may become volatile due to one or more factors. Volatility or weakness in natural gas or LNG prices could render our LNG procured through Fast LNG too expensive for our customers, and we may not be able to obtain our anticipated return on our investment or make our technology profitable. In addition, we may seek to construct and develop liquefaction units as part of our Fast LNG in jurisdictions which could potentially expose us to increased political, economic, social and legal instability, a lack of regulatory clarity of application of laws, rules and regula…

Hydraulic Fracturing. Certain of our suppliers of natural gas and LNG employ hydraulic fracturing techniques to stimulate natural gas production from unconventional geological formations (including shale formations), which currently entails the injection of pressurized fracturing fluids (consisting of water, sand and certain chemicals) into a well bore. Moreover, hydraulically fractured natural gas wells account for a significant percentage of the natural gas production in the U.S.; the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported in 2016 that hydraulically fractured wells provided two-thirds of U.S. marketed gas production in 2015. Hydraulic fracturing activities can be regulated at the national, federal or local levels, with governmental agencies asserting authority over certain hydraulic fracturing activities and equipment used in the production, transmission and distribution of oil and natural gas, including such oil and natural gas produced via hydraulic fracturing. Such authorities may seek to further regulate or even ban such activities.

More recently, the DRBC has stated that it will consider new regulations that would ban natural gas production activity, including hydraulic fracturing, in the basin. If additional levels of regulation or permitting requirements were imposed on hydraulic fracturing operations, natural gas prices in North America could rise, which in turn could materially adversely affect the relative pricing advantage that has existed in recent years in favor of domestic natural gas prices (based on Henry Hub pricing).

We conduct business throughout the world, and our business activities and services are subject to various applicable import and export control laws and regulations of the United States and other countries, particularly countries in the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and the other countries in which we seek to do business. We must also comply with trade and economic sanctions laws, including the U.S. Commerce Department’s Export Administration Regulations and economic and trade sanctions regulations maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. For example, in 2018, U.S. legislation was approved to restrict U.S. aid to Nicaragua and between 2018 and 2022, U.S. and European governmental authorities imposed a number of sanctions against entities and individuals in or associated with the governments of Nicaragua and Venezuela. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022, U.S., European, U.K. and other governmental authorities imposed a number of sanctions against entities and individuals in Russia or connected to Russia, including sanctions specifically targeting the Russian oil and gas industry. Violations of governmental export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations could result in negative consequences to us, including government investigations, sanctions, criminal or civil fines or penalties, more onerous compliance requirements, loss of authorizations needed to conduct aspects of our international business, reputational harm and other adverse consequences. Moreover, it is possible that we could invest both time and capital into a project involving a counterparty who may become subject to sanctions. If any of our counterparties becomes subject to sanctions as a result of these laws and regulations, changes thereto or otherwise, we may face an array of issues, including, but not limited to, (i) having to suspend our development or operations on a temporary or permanent basis, (ii) being unable to recuperate prior invested time and capital or being subject to lawsuits, or (iii) investigations or regulatory proceedings that could be time-consuming and expensive to respond to and which could lead to criminal or civil fines or penalties.
