Note 1 – Basis of presentation
The condensed financial statements represent the financial information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X 5-04 for Venture Global, Inc. ("Venture Global" or "the Parent Company"). Venture Global was formed by the managing members of Venture Global Partners II, LLC ("VG Partners") on September 19, 2023.
On January 27, 2025, the Parent Company effectuated an approximately 4,520.3317-for-one forward stock split (the "Stock Split") of its Class A common stock following the effectiveness of the Parent Company's IPO which was completed on January 27, 2025. All Class A common stock share and per share amounts in these condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Stock Split. See Note 5 – Subsequent Eventsfor further discussion of the IPO.
Reorganization
In September 2023, Venture Global was party to certain reorganization transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions") whereby Legacy VG Partners, a then wholly-owned subsidiary of VG Partners and the controlling shareholder of VGLNG, merged with and into Venture Global (the "2023 Merger"), with VG Partners receiving 2.0 billion shares of Venture Global's Class A common stock, after giving effect to the Stock Split, in exchange for 100% of its equity interests in Legacy VG Partners. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the non-controlling VGLNG shareholders, holding 84,272 shares of VGLNG's issued and outstanding Series C common stock, received 381 million shares of Class A common stock of Venture Global, in a 4,520.3317-for-one exchange, after giving effect to the Stock Split, for their shares of VGLNG (the "NCI Acquisition"). All shares of Series A, Series B and Series C common stock of VGLNG were retired upon completion of the Reorganization Transactions in September 2023. No cash was exchanged as part of the Reorganization Transactions and Venture Global incurred $40 million of third-party transaction costs in connection with its formation and the issuance of its shares of Class A common stock.
The 2023 Merger was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Prior to the 2023 Merger, Venture Global, as a standalone entity, had no operations and had no assets or liabilities. The financial results and other information included in the condensed financial statements for periods prior to the Reorganization Transactions were applied on a retrospective basis and are reflective of VG Partners.
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, Venture Global adopted the 2023 Plan, which replaced the Predecessor Plan. Under the 2023 Plan, all options previously granted and then outstanding under the Predecessor Plan (representing options to purchase 86,664 shares of VGLNG's Series A common stock) were automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, or a on a 4,520.3317-for-one basis after giving effect to the Stock Split, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Predecessor Plan, into options to purchase shares of Venture Global's Class A common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Plan. There were no other material differences between the terms and conditions of the 2023 Plan and the Predecessor Plan. The 2023 Plan provides for the issuance of approximately 429 million shares, after giving effect to the Stock Split, of Venture Global's Class A common stock. As noted in Note 5 – Subsequent Events, no further awards may be granted under the 2023 Plan.
In the condensed financial statements, the Parent Company's investment in subsidiaries are presented at the net amount attributable to Venture Global under the equity method of accounting.
