natural gas (&#147;LNG&#148;) solutions, providing integrated services along the LNG value chain. We offer a full range of services, including floating storage and regasification units (&#147;FSRUs&#148;), LNG import infrastructure development and
LNG and natural gas supply. From our founding, we have focused on LNG solutions to markets in diverse environments across the globe, providing a lesser emitting form of energy to markets that often rely on coal as their primary energy source. At
Excelerate, we believe that access to energy sources such as LNG is critical to assisting markets with enhancing energy security and advancing their decarbonization efforts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business focuses on the integration of natural
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">gas-to-power</FONT></FONT> in the LNG value chain, and as part of this value chain, we operate at regasification terminals that utilize our FSRU fleet to serve economies throughout
the world. Our business is substantially supported by time charter and terminal use contracts, which are effectively long-term, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT></FONT> arrangements and provide
consistent revenue and cash flow from our high-quality customer base. As of December&nbsp;31, 2024, we operate a fleet of 10 purpose-built FSRUs, and since we began operations, we have completed more than 3,000 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ship-to-ship</FONT></FONT> transfers of LNG with over 50 LNG operators and have safely delivered more than 7,300&nbsp;billion cubic feet of natural gas through 16 LNG regasification terminals. We expect to bring online
Hull 3407, our newbuild FSRU currently being constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea, in 2026 to support our fleet expansion plans and to meet the growing need for floating regasification capacity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business spans the globe, with regional presences in 11 countries and an operational presence in Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Finland,
Germany, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates (&#147;UAE&#148;) and the United States. We are the largest provider of regasified LNG capacity in Argentina, Bangladesh, Finland and the UAE. We are also one of the largest providers of regasified LNG
capacity in Brazil, where we operate the largest FSRU, and Pakistan, where we have regasified more LNG than any other provider in the past 10 years. Our business strategy includes marketing natural gas and LNG, both of which offer a cleaner energy
source from which power can be generated consistently, through our infrastructure assets in the markets where we operate. The high value our customers place on our services has resulted in a reliable source of revenues to us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also procure LNG from major producers and sell natural gas through our LNG terminals. We believe that the commercial momentum that we have
established in recent years and the increasing need for access to LNG around the world have resulted in a significant portfolio of new growth opportunities for us to pursue. In addition to our FSRU and terminal services businesses and LNG and
natural gas sales, we plan to expand our business through investments LNG import and related infrastructure. </P>

strategy and is expected to drive greater demand for our core FSRU and terminal services business and establish Excelerate as a provider of &#147;last-mile&#148; LNG infrastructure in Jamaica. Additionally, the Pending Acquisition provides an
attractive downstream natural gas market for Excelerate&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-year</FONT> Venture Global LNG supply agreement and secures pull through demand and value-accretive offtake for our LNG supply portfolio. The Pending

liabilities associated with the Business prior to closing. The accuracy of our estimates of the potential <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT></FONT> direct margin generated by the Business is
inherently uncertain. Although we have conducted due diligence in connection with the Pending Acquisition, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may arise as a result of the consummation of the Pending
Acquisition. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If problems are identified after

integrating the Business into the Company may result in operational and other challenges, including the diversion of management&#146;s attention from ongoing business concerns; the diversion of resources to integration processes; the retention of
key management and other employees; the retention of existing business and operational relationships, including customers, suppliers and other counterparties; the attraction of new business and operational relationships; the possibility of faulty
assumptions underlying expectations regarding integration processes and associated expenses; the elimination of duplicative corporate or operational processes; potential limitations placed on our business by regulatory authorities; the possibility
that a failure to successfully integrate the Business into our internal control over financial reporting could compromise the integrity of our financial reporting; as well as unanticipated issues in integrating certain systems. An inability to
realize the full extent of the intended benefits of the Pending Acquisition, and any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and level of expenses and results of operations. In addition, the
integration may result in additional or unforeseen expenses. Although we expect the strategic benefits and additional operating cash flow to offset incremental transaction-related costs over time, if we are not able to adequately and effectively
address integration challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate operations or realize anticipated benefits of the integration of the Business. </P>

held by an investor that is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such
entity either (i)&nbsp;certifies that such entity does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; or (ii)&nbsp;provides certain information regarding the entity&#146;s &#147;substantial United States owners,&#148; which we or the
applicable withholding agent will in turn provide to the Secretary of the Treasury. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations or other guidance, may modify these
requirements. We will not pay any additional amounts to investors in respect of any amounts withheld. Withholding under FATCA may also apply to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our securities. However, under proposed
Treasury regulations, withholding on gross proceeds is not required. Although such regulations are not final, applicable withholding agents may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. If withholding under FATCA is
required on any payment in respect of our securities, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> investors not otherwise subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) may be required to seek a
refund or credit from the IRS. Each <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the possible implications of FATCA on such holder&#146;s investment in our securities. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition of our Class&nbsp;A Common Stock. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the respective
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it
is not a &#147;United States person&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;7701(a)(30) of the Code in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of
withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are changing the way the world accesses cleaner and more reliable energy by delivering regasified natural gas, benefiting hundreds of
millions of people around the world. From our founding, we have focused on providing flexible LNG solutions to markets in diverse environments across the globe, providing a lesser emitting form of energy to markets that often rely on coal as their
primary energy source. At Excelerate, we believe that access to energy sources such as LNG is critical to assisting markets in their decarbonization efforts, while at the same time promoting economic growth and improving quality of life. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have grown our business significantly since our first FSRU charter in 2003, and today, we are a profitable energy company with a
geographically diversified business model. Our business spans the globe, with regional offices in 11 countries and operations in Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Finland, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates and the United States. We are the largest
provider of regasified LNG in Argentina and Bangladesh and one of the largest providers of regasified LNG in Brazil and Pakistan, and we operate the largest FSRU in Brazil. We also lease an LNG terminal in Bahia, Brazil from Petr&oacute;leo
Brasileiro S.A. and, in December 2021, started importing LNG and selling natural gas to the Brazilian market. In December 2022, we began importing and selling natural gas and LNG into Europe via the Inkoo Terminal in Finland. We also have plans to
sell natural gas to other downstream customers in Brazil, Europe and Bangladesh. In each of these regions, we offer a cleaner energy source from which power can be generated consistently. The high value our customers place on our services has
resulted in a reliable source of revenues to us, while our global reach helps balance seasonal demand fluctuation among the geographies in which we operate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business focuses on the integration of the natural
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">gas-to-power</FONT></FONT> LNG value chain, and as part of this value chain, we operate regasification terminals in global economies that utilize our FSRU fleet. Our business is
substantially supported by time charter contracts, which are effectively long-term, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT></FONT> arrangements and provide consistent revenue and cash flow from our
high-quality customer base. As of March&nbsp;31, 2023, we operate a fleet of ten purpose-built FSRUs, have completed more than 2,500 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ship-to-ship</FONT></FONT> transfers of LNG with
over 40 LNG operators since we began operations and have safely delivered more than 6,000&nbsp;billion cubic feet of natural gas through 16 LNG regasification terminals. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also procure LNG from major producers and sell natural gas through our flexible LNG terminals. The commercial momentum that we have
established in recent years and the increasing need for access to LNG around the world have resulted in a significant portfolio of new growth opportunities for us to pursue. In addition to our FSRU and terminal services businesses and natural gas
sales, we plan to expand our business to provide customers with an array of products. We are evaluating and pursuing early-stage projects with opportunities in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our integrated LNG solutions are designed to avoid the roadblocks that routinely hinder the development of terminal, gas and power projects in
markets worldwide. We offer enhanced energy security and independence to the countries in which we operate, while playing a vital role in advancing their efforts to lower carbon emissions and comply with the Paris Agreement on climate change. From
our global experience, we see firsthand the impact of providing local communities with a reliable source of energy and the subsequent development of natural gas and power infrastructure to take advantage of the natural gas we deliver to them. With
improved access to cleaner and more reliable energy, countries are able to power industries, light homes and bolster economies. Additionally, some of the markets in which we operate lack developed energy infrastructure and therefore rely heavily on
our services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We seek to optimize our LNG portfolio and fleet flexibility to deliver the best solutions that scale with our
customers&#146; needs. We believe that LNG will play a critical part in the global transition to a lower-carbon future. Even the most aggressive scenarios that call for a larger role for renewables and new technology in decarbonization efforts fail
to achieve the Paris Agreement&#146;s goals without substantial growth in natural gas volumes, including in the form of LNG, through 2040. While more aggressive mandates to shift electricity </P>

to acquire our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids
and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. These provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of us that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including
those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Classified Board of Directors; Removal of

defined in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation), our board of directors is subject to annual elections. Each director will hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected
and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. During such time, directors may be removed with or without cause, and vacancies, including as a result of newly created directorships on the board of directors, may be filled
at any time by the stockholders or by remaining directors. For purposes of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the &#147;Trigger Date&#148; shall be defined as such time when EE Holdings (including its permitted transferees)
ceases to beneficially own at least 40% of the combined voting power of our then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in director elections. If Mr.&nbsp;Kaiser dies prior to the Trigger Date, for purposes of calculating the ownership
percentage, shares held by EE Holdings immediately prior to Mr.&nbsp;Kaiser&#146;s death shall be combined with any shares held by the George Kaiser Family Foundation (the &#147;Foundation&#148;) and its affiliates and, subsequently, based on the

During such time as our board is classified, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that any director may be removed for cause only and only by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the
voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, during such time, the classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for
stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. From and after the Trigger Date, vacancies, including as a result of newly created directorships on the board of directors, shall be filled at any time only by the remaining

chairperson of the meeting of stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if such rules and regulations are not followed. These

&#147;us,&#148; and &#147;our&#148; refer to Excelerate Energy, Inc. and not any of its subsidiaries. We may issue senior or subordinated debt securities. Neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any
of our property or assets. Thus, by owning a debt security, you will be one of our unsecured creditors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior debt securities will
constitute part of our senior debt, will be issued under a senior debt indenture described below and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will constitute part of our subordinated
debt, will be issued under a subordinated debt indenture described below and will be subordinate in right of payment to all of our &#147;senior debt,&#148; as defined in the indenture with respect to such subordinated debt securities. The prospectus
supplement for any series of subordinated debt securities or the information incorporated in this prospectus by reference will indicate the approximate amount of senior debt outstanding as of the end of the then most recent fiscal quarter. Neither
indenture will limit our ability to incur additional senior debt or other indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer to &#147;debt securities&#148; in

from our subsidiaries is the principal source of funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as our subsidiaries&#146; financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain
cash from our subsidiaries that we require to pay our debt service obligations, including payments on the debt securities. In addition, holders of the debt securities will have a junior position to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors
and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries on their assets and earnings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt indentures and their associated documents, including your

indenture, but also to &#147;reopen&#148; a previously issued series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. We will describe most of the financial and other specific terms of your debt security, whether it is a

you. The indentures and the debt securities will not limit our ability to incur other indebtedness or to issue other securities other than as specified in your debt security, as applicable. Also, unless otherwise specified below or in your

maturity, unless that amount is not determinable, in which case the principal amount of a debt security is its face amount. The term &#147;stated maturity&#148; with respect to any debt security means the day on which the principal amount of your
debt security is scheduled to become due. The principal may become due sooner, by reason of redemption, acceleration after a default or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the debt security. The day on which the principal actually becomes due,
whether at the stated maturity or earlier, is called the &#147;maturity&#148; of the principal. We also use the terms &#147;stated maturity&#148; and &#147;maturity&#148; to refer to the days when other payments become due. For example, we may refer
to a regular interest payment date when an installment of interest is scheduled to become due as the &#147;stated maturity&#148; of that installment. When we refer to the &#147;stated maturity&#148; or the &#147;maturity&#148; of a debt security
without specifying a particular payment, we mean the stated maturity or maturity, as the case may be, of the principal. </P>

each debt security only in registered form, without coupons, unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, we will issue each debt security in global&#151;i.e., book-entry&#151;form only, unless we specify
otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. Debt securities in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary, which will be the holder of all the debt securities represented by the global
security. Those who own beneficial interests in a global debt security will do so through participants in the depositary&#146;s securities clearance system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures
of the depositary and its participants. References to &#147;holders&#148; in this section mean those who own debt securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this purpose, and not those who own
beneficial interests in debt securities registered in street name or in debt securities issued in book-entry form through one or more depositaries. </P>

that may hold interests through those participants. In addition, ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a global debt security will be evidenced only by, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through,
records maintained by DTC or its nominee for a global debt security. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global debt security by persons that hold those interests through participants will be evidenced only by, and the transfer of that ownership
interest within that participant will be effected only through, records maintained by that participant. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of
their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the participants through which the beneficial owners entered the
transaction. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities they purchase in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global debt
security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will make payment of principal of, and interest on, debt securities represented by a global debt security registered in the

or interest on, a global debt security, DTC immediately will credit accounts of participants on its book-entry registration and transfer system with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective interests in the principal amount of that
global debt security, as shown in the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global debt security held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now
the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the sole responsibility of those participants, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect

global debt security shall be exchangeable except for another global debt security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global debt security
must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the global debt security or the indentures. </P>

interest in a global debt security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the debt securities or the indentures, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or
take that action. Additionally, those participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through those participants to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a &#147;banking
organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered
under the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions among its participants in securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants.
By doing so, DTC eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#146;s participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a
number of its participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and NYSE Amex Equities. Access to DTC&#146;s book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors may hold interests in the debt securities outside the U.S. through the Euroclear System (&#147;Euroclear&#148;) or Clearstream
Banking (&#147;Clearstream&#148;) if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in those systems. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests on behalf of their participants through

recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the withdrawal of preferred stock in exchange for depositary shares. The tax basis of each share of preferred stock to an exchanging owner of depositary shares will be, upon such exchange, the
same as the aggregate tax basis of the depositary shares exchanged. The holding period for preferred stock in the hands of an exchanging owner of depositary shares will include the period during which such person owned such depositary shares. </P>
