FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Proxy Statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “commit,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods.

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: our early stage of development with no material revenue expected until 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 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 volatility of natural gas prices and its potential adverse effect on our financial condition and operations; 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 concentration of all our assets and operations in the Beetaloo, making us susceptible to region-specific risks; 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; 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 goals to offset Scope 1 and 2 emissions in our upstream business, based in an equity share approach, which may increase our production costs; the increased attention to ESG matters and environmental conservation measures that could adversely impact our business operations; risks related to our corporate structure; risks related to our common stock and CDIs; and the other risk factors discussed in the this Proxy Statement and the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward-looking statements contained in this document, except as required by law.

THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS” FORMAT BELOW IS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. YOU SHOULD READ THIS ENTIRE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why am I receiving these materials?

We are distributing our proxy materials because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders as of the Record Date (or their duly appointed proxy holder) may attend, vote, and submit questions virtually during the Annual Meeting by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBN2024. To log in, stockholders (or their authorized representatives) will need the control number provided on their proxy card. If you are not a stockholder or do not have a control number (including Holders of CDIs), you may still access the meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to submit questions or vote at the meeting. The meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Central time on Monday, November 4, 2024 (being 9:00 a.m. AEDT on Tuesday, November 5, 2024). We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time.

During the meeting, we will spend up to 15 minutes answering stockholder questions that comply with the meeting rules of procedure. The rules of procedure, including the types of questions that will be accepted, will be posted on the Annual Meeting website. To ensure the orderly conduct of the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit questions in advance. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition. Stockholders must have available their control number provided on their proxy card to ask questions during the meeting.

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Annual Meeting?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during check-in or during the meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual stockholder meeting login page: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBN2024.

FOR

What happens if other business not discussed in this Proxy Statement comes before the meeting?

The Company does not know of any business to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement. If other business properly comes before the meeting under our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), and rules established by the SEC, the proxies will use their discretion in casting all the votes that they are entitled to cast.

Who is entitled to vote?

As of the Record Date, 14,224,274 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Only holders of record of our Common Stock as of the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our Common Stock held by such stockholder on the Record Date. No cumulative voting rights are authorized. Each CDI holder is entitled to direct the Depositary Nominee to vote one vote for every 200 CDIs held by such holder on the Record Date.

What does it mean to be a holder of CDIs?

CDIs are issued by the Company through the Depositary Nominee and traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. If you own CDIs, then you are the beneficial owner of one share of Common Stock for every 200 CDIs that you own. The Depositary Nominee, or its custodian, is considered the stockholder of record for the purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the Depositary Nominee, or its custodian, as to how to vote the shares of Common Stock underlying your CDIs. As a beneficial owner, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting as a guest.

However, because you are not a holder of Common Stock, if you personally want to vote the shares of Common Stock underlying your CDIs at the Annual Meeting, you must inform the Depositary Nominee via the CDI Voting Instruction Form that you wish to nominate yourself (or another person) to be appointed as the Depositary Nominee’s proxy for the purposes of virtually attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.

Under the rules governing CDIs, the Depositary Nominee is not permitted to vote on your behalf on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting unless you specifically instruct the Depositary Nominee how to vote. We encourage you to communicate your voting instructions to the Depositary Nominee in advance of the Annual Meeting to ensure that your vote will be counted by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form and returning it in accordance with the instructions specified on that form.

How do I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?

If you are a holder of record of shares of Common Stock, you may direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the proxy card to vote by Internet or by telephone, or by signing, dating, and mailing a proxy card.

If you hold your shares in street name via a broker, bank, or other nominee, you may direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting by signing, dating, and mailing your voting instruction card. Internet or telephonic voting may also be available. Please see your voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee for further details.

How do I vote during the Annual Meeting?

Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted if you are attending the Annual Meeting by entering the 15-digit control number found on your proxy card when you log in to the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBN2024.

Shares held in street name through a brokerage account or by a broker, bank, or other nominee may only be voted at the Annual Meeting by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee issued in your name from the record holder (your bank, broker or other nominee).

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote in advance, as described above under “How do I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?” so that your vote will be counted if you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote if I hold CDIs?

Each CDI holder is entitled to direct the Depositary Nominee to vote one vote for every 200 CDIs held by such holder on the Record Date. Persons holding CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting as guests. Holders of CDIs may direct the Depositary Nominee to vote their underlying Common Stock at the Annual Meeting by completing and returning the CDI Voting Instruction Form to Boardroom Pty Ltd (“Boardroom”), the agent the Company has designated for the collection and processing of voting instructions

from the Company’s CDI holders. Votes must be received by Boardroom by no later than 4:00 p.m. Central time on Saturday, November 2, 2024 (being 9:00 a.m. AEDT on Sunday, November 3, 2024) (48 hours prior to the date of the Annual Meeting) in accordance with the instructions on the CDI Voting Instruction Form.

Alternatively, CDI holders can inform the Depositary Nominee via the CDI Voting Instruction Form that they wish to nominate themselves (or another person) to be appointed as the Depositary Nominee’s proxy for the purposes of virtually attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy or CDI Voting Instruction Form?

You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

delivering to the attention of the Secretary at the address on the first page of this Proxy Statement a written notice of revocation of your proxy;

delivering to us an authorized proxy bearing a later date (including a proxy over the Internet or by telephone); or

attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically, as indicated above under “How do I vote during the Annual Meeting?,” but note that attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee.

If you are a holder of CDIs and you direct the Depositary Nominee to vote by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form, you may revoke those instructions by delivering to Boardroom a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the CDI Voting Instruction Form previously sent, which notice must be received by no later than 4:00 p.m. Central time on Thursday, October 31, 2024 (being 9:00 a.m. AEDT on Friday, November 1, 2024).

What is a broker nonvote?

Brokers, banks, or other nominees holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner (other than the Depositary Nominee) may vote those shares in their discretion on certain “routine” matters even if they do not receive timely voting instructions from the beneficial owner. With respect to “nonroutine” matters, the broker, bank, or other nominee is not permitted to vote shares for a beneficial owner without timely received voting instructions. The only routine matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting is the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (Proposal Two). Each of the other Proposals are nonroutine matters.

A broker nonvote occurs when a broker, bank, or other nominee does not vote on a nonroutine matter because the beneficial owner of such shares has not provided voting instructions with regard to such matter. A broker, bank, or other nominee may exercise its discretionary voting authority on Proposal Two because Proposal Two is a routine matter, and as such, there will be no broker nonvotes on Proposal Two. Broker nonvotes may occur as to the other Proposals or any other nonroutine matters that are properly presented at the Annual Meeting. The effect of broker nonvotes on each of the other Proposals is described below.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or by proxy, of the holders of not less than a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Your shares are counted as being present if you participate virtually at the Annual Meeting and cast your vote online during the meeting prior to the closing of the polls by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TBN2024, or if you vote by proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by returning a properly executed and dated proxy card or voting instruction form by mail.

What vote is required to approve each matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting?

To ensure that all of your shares or CDIs are voted, please complete, sign, date, and return one proxy card or CDI Voting Instruction Form for each account or use the proxy card for each account to vote by Internet or by telephone.

How will my shares be voted if I return a blank proxy card or a blank CDI Voting Instruction Form?

If you are a holder of record of our Common Stock and you sign and return a proxy card or CDI Voting Instruction Form or otherwise submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. If you hold your shares in street name via a broker, bank, or other nominee and do not provide the broker, bank, or other nominee with voting instructions (including by signing and returning a blank voting instruction card), your shares:

will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum;

will be voted in accordance with the broker’s, bank’s, or other nominee’s discretion on “routine” matters, which includes the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (Proposal Two); and

will not be counted in connection with the other Proposals or any other nonroutine matters that are properly presented at the Annual Meeting. For each of these proposals, your shares will be treated as “broker nonvotes.”

Our Board knows of no matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than Proposals identified in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting upon which a vote properly may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by us will be voted with respect thereto as permitted and in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders.

Who is making this solicitation and who will pay the expenses?

This proxy solicitation is being made on behalf of the Board. The Company will pay for the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on the Company’s behalf by directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. We have hired D. F. King & Co., Inc., 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10005, to solicit proxies. We will pay D.F. King & Co., Inc. a fee of $7,000.00 plus expenses for these services. Arrangements may be made with brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to send proxy materials to their principals, and we may reimburse them for their expenses.

Who will count the vote?

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., or its appointed representative, will serve as the inspector of elections and will certify the voting results.

Will a stockholder list be available for inspection?

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for inspection by stockholders for any purpose germane to the meeting for 10 business days prior to the Annual Meeting, at Tamboran Resources Corporation, Suite 01, Level 39, Tower One, International Towers Sydney, 100 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. AEDT.

You will need the control number included on your proxy card, or voting instruction form, or otherwise provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one Proxy Statement and one Annual Report to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another stockholder and receive only one set of proxy materials but would like to request a separate copy of these materials, please contact our mailing agent, Broadridge, by calling (866) 540-7095 or writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and an additional copy of proxy materials will be promptly delivered to you. Similarly, if you receive multiple copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, you may also contact Broadridge at the above telephone number or address. If you own shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

When are stockholder proposals due for the 2025 annual meeting of the stockholders?

A stockholder desiring to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Any such proposal must be received by the Company no later than June 19, 2025. The Company requests that all such proposals be addressed to the “Corporate Secretary” at Tamboran Resources Corporation, Suite 01, Level 39, Tower One, International Towers Sydney, 100 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000, and be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Stockholders wishing to submit proposals or director nominations outside the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Corporate Secretary and follow the procedures contained in the Company’s Bylaws.

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of timely notice.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

In connection with our solicitation of proxies for our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, we intend to file a proxy statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL ONE:

TO APPROVE, THE ELECTION OF THE COMPANY’S THREE CLASS I DIRECTORS, BEING EACH

OF: (1) FREDRICK BARRETT, (2) PATRICK ELLIOTT, (3) STEPHANIE REED

General

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will vote on the three Class I directors for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. ASX Listing Rule 14.5 requires that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each Annual Meeting. Further, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third Annual Meeting following their appointment of 3 years, whichever is longer.

The directors named herein have agreed to serve, if elected, until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal. There are no family relationships between or among any of our executive officers, nominees, or continuing directors.

The election of each director will be voted on separately.

If a proposal to elect a director is approved, the director will be appointed for a three-year term as outlined above. If a proposal to elect a director is not approved, the director will not be appointed and will cease to be a director, and the board may be required to take steps to fill that vacancy.

The following table sets forth information with respect to our director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board believes sound corporate-governance processes and practices, as well as high ethical standards, are critical to handling challenges and to achieving business success. We embrace leading governance practices and conduct ongoing reviews of our governance structure and processes to reflect changing circumstances. Below are highlights of our corporate-governance practices and principles.

Director Independence

The majority of the members of the Board are “independent” in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the following directors is an independent director of the Company under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange: Richard Stoneburner, Fredrick Barrett, Ryan Dalton, Patrick Elliott, Andrew Robb, and David Siegel. Joel Riddle, our current Managing Director and CEO, is not independent. The Board has determined that, other than John Bell and Stephanie Reed, none of our directors has any material relationships with the Company other than their roles as directors.

In making such determinations, the Board considered the relationships that each such director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining independence. The Board determined that Mr. Siegel is independent as the ORRIs granted to Mr. Siegel’s children were consideration in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement completed in 2021 and not direct compensation. Further, no royalty payments have been made to Mr. Siegel or his children. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for further information.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board may elect one or more of its members to serve as Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board. The Board has elected Richard Stoneburner to serve as the Chairman and Joel Riddle as the Chief Executive Officer. Our Bylaws provide that the Chief Executive Officer shall report directly to the Chairman and, if present and in the absence of the Chairman, preside at meetings of the stockholders and of the Board.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for the oversight of risk, while management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk. The Board, directly and through its committees, carries out its oversight role by regularly reviewing and discussing with management the risks inherent in the operation of our business and applicable risk mitigation efforts. Management meets regularly to discuss the Company’s business strategies, challenges, risks and opportunities and reviews those items with the Board at regularly scheduled meetings. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation plans and arrangements, including whether the Company’s incentive compensation plans encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking. The Audit & Risk Management Committee is responsible for overseeing our risk assessment and management processes related to, among other things, our financial reports and record-keeping, major litigation and financial risk exposures, information technology risks, including cybersecurity and data privacy risks and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Nominations & Governance Committee is responsible for risk oversight associated with corporate governance practices and the composition of our Board and its committees. The Sustainability Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s sustainability policies and reviewing and updating the Company’s Sustainability Plan.

Evaluations of the Board of Directors

The Board evaluates its performance and the performance of its committees and individual directors on an annual basis through an evaluation process administered by our Nominations & Governance Committee. The Board discusses each evaluation to determine what, if any, actions should be taken to improve the effectiveness of the Board or any committee thereof or of the directors.

Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance

Directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. During fiscal year 2024, our Board had eight Board meetings. During fiscal year 2024, each member of our Board attended at least 75% of all Board and relevant Committee meetings held during the period in which such director served. Our independent directors hold regularly scheduled executive sessions without our management present. These executive sessions of independent directors are chaired by our Chairman of the Board.

Board Attendance at Annual Stockholders’ Meeting

Each director is encouraged and generally expected to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting.

Board Committees

Our Board has established an Audit & Risk Management Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominations & Governance Committee and a Sustainability Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board are described below. Copies of the charters of the committees are available on the investor relations page of our website at https://ir.tamboran.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. The information in or accessible through our website is not incorporated into, and is not considered part of, this Proxy Statement. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

The following table provides current membership and meeting information for fiscal year 2024 for each of these committees of our Board with directors marked with an asterisk (*) identified as committee chair:

Audit & Risk Management Committee

Messrs. Elliott, Barrett, Siegel and Dalton are the members of the Audit & Risk Management Committee. Mr. Elliott is the Chairman of the Audit & Risk Management Committee.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which are available on our website at https://ir.tamboran.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. The information in or accessible through our website is not incorporated into, and is not considered part of, this Proxy Statement.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the framework for our corporate governance along with our Charter, Bylaws, committee charters and other key governance practices and policies. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines cover a wide range of subjects, including the conduct of Board meetings, independence and selection of directors, Board membership criteria, and Board committee composition.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is applicable to our directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of the Company’s business. Any waiver of this Code of conduct for any individual director or officer of our Company must be approved, if at all, by our board of directors. Any such waivers granted, as well as substantive amendments to this Code, will be publicly disclosed by appropriate means in compliance with applicable listing standards and SEC rules.

Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging of Company Securities

We have adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy and Procedures. The information is not considered part of this Proxy Statement. This policy, among other things, prohibits officers, directors, employees, contractors, and any other person designated as being subject to this policy by the Senior Counsel or his or her designee, from engaging in hedging transactions, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, or other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities. Officers, directors, and employees of the Company are also subject to pre-clearance procedures with respect to all transactions involving the Company’s securities.

Stockholder and Interested Party Communications

We have adopted a policy regarding stockholder and interested party communications with the Board (the “Interested Party Communications Policy”), which is available on our website at https://ir.tamboran.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. Under the Interested Party Communications Policy, any stockholder or other interested party may communicate directly with the independent members of the Board and the lead independent director, if any, about corporate governance, corporate strategy, Board-related matters or other substantive matters that our Senior Counsel, lead independent director, if any, and chairman of the Board consider to be important for the director(s) to know, by addressing any communications to the intended recipient by name or position in care of: Senior Counsel, rohan.vardaro@tamboran.com.

The Senior Counsel will initially receive all interested party communications and will review the communications for compliance with the Interested Party Communications Policy. Communications that are deemed to comply with the Interested Party Communications Policy and to be appropriate for delivery will be forwarded to the Board or the relevant director(s). The Senior Counsel may consult with the chairman of the Board and lead independent director, if any, when determining whether a communication is appropriate for

delivery. The Senior Counsel or his or her designee will send an acknowledgment of receipt to each interested party that submits a communication. The acknowledgement will indicate that communications deemed to comply with the Interested Party Communications Policy and to be appropriate for delivery to directors under the Interested Party Communications Policy will be so delivered, but that it is not the practice of the directors to respond individually to the communications. Communications deemed to comply with the Interested Party Communications Policy and to be appropriate for delivery will be delivered to the directors on a periodic basis, generally in advance of each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Concerns relating to accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters or questionable financial practices will be handled in accordance with the procedures established by the Audit & Risk Management Committee with respect to such matters.

For June 2023 through March 2024, Mr. Riddle’s annual base salary was $430,237, Mr. Dyer’s base salary was $344,190, and Mr. Thibodeaux’s base salary was $404,250 (Messrs.

Annual Bonuses

We provide annual incentive cash bonuses to our named executive officers under our short-term incentive plan, which we refer to as our “STI Plan.” Under the STI Plan, annual bonuses are determined based on achievement of Company results using strategic objectives and metrics, as described below. Commencing in January 2024, we began awarding bonuses under our STI Plan based on calendar year performance. In 2024, the level of achievement of corporate goals resulted in a payout of 100% of each named executive officer’s target bonus. The amounts of such bonuses paid to our named executive officers are set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation.”

Equity Compensation

On August 6, 2024, following the IPO, the end of the 2024 fiscal year and the compensation committee approval, equity awards under our 2024 Incentive Award Plan were granted to each of Messrs. Riddle, Dyer and Thibodeaux covering an aggregate of 200,000, 110,000 and 90,000 shares of our Common Stock, respectively. 50% of the shares were granted to each of our named executive officers in the form of time-vesting restricted stock units which will vest on the third anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the executive’s continued service through such date. The remaining 50% of the shares were granted in the form of performance stock units, and will be eligible to vest at the end of a three-year performance period if and to the extent that our total shareholder return for such period falls in the top-quartile relative to the US Small Cap Index, and subject to the executive’s continued employment through the end of such period. These equity awards are intended to align the executives’ incentives with the achievement of our business objectives over this three-year vesting period.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

We contribute to the Australian superannuation defined contribution scheme that provides eligible Australian employees (including Mr. Riddle and, as of February 2024, Mr. Dyer) with an opportunity to save for retirement on a pre-tax basis. We pay superannuation in accordance with legislative requirements and our minimum contribution is set by legislation. We offer flexibility for salary sacrifice to be added to the superannuation scheme and any actual increase in our contribution to the superannuation scheme is subject to legislative rules at the time.

With respect to our eligible employees in the United States (including Mr. Thibodeaux), we maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan. Mr. Thibodeaux is eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. Currently, we match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan up to 4% of the employee contributions, capped at the annual IRS limits ($13,800 currently), and these matching contributions are fully vested as of the date on which the contribution is made. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan, and making matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including Mr. Thibodeaux, in accordance with our compensation policies.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites and Tax Equalization Arrangements

Health/Welfare Plans.

All of our eligible U.S. employees, including Mr. Thibodeaux, may participate in the following health and welfare plans:

medical dental and vision benefits;

short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

life insurance.

All of our eligible Australian employees, including Messrs. Riddle and Dyer, may participate in the following health and welfare plans:

life and total permanent disablement cover; and

salary continuance cover.

We believe the perquisites described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our named executive officers.

Tax Equalization Arrangements

Consistent with arrangements with other employees on rotational assignments, in connection with Mr. Thibodeaux’s rotational assignment from the United States to Australia during the 12-month period beginning in January 2023, TR Ltd. has agreed to provide Mr. Thibodeaux with tax equalization at U.S. income tax rates for the employment income earned relating to the assignment. The scope of income subject to the arrangement is limited to the fixed base salary earned during assignment. The effect of the tax equalization arrangement is to make relevant payments to Mr. Thibodeaux such that Mr. Thibodeaux will be responsible for the same level of income and social security taxes on his Tamboran employment income as he would have incurred had he solely worked in the United States.

PROPOSAL TWO:

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING

JUNE 30, 2025.

Our Board and the Audit & Risk Management Committee are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, as the independent public accounting firm to conduct the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Stockholder ratification of such appointment is not required by our Bylaws or any other applicable legal requirement. However, our Board is submitting the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit & Risk Management Committee will reconsider whether to continue to retain Ernst & Young LLP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit & Risk Management Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit & Risk Management Committee believes that such a change should be made. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make statements if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

On August 13, 2024, the Board approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

We were billed by Ernst & Young LLP in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 as follows:


	Fiscal Years Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Audit fees	$	1,373,064	$	102,227
Audit-related fees	$	11,932		—
Tax fees		—	$	5,564
All other fees	$	531,567	$	3,435
Total fees	$	1,916,564	$	111,276

Audit fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for the year ended June 30, 2024, consisted of $102,277 related to the audit of the year ended June 30, 2023, $701,513 related to the audit of the year ended June 30, 2024, consents and other items related to our Form 10-K filing. All other fees were for professional services rendered in connection with certain S-1 and S-8 registration statements. There were no other audit-related fees, tax fees, or any other fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP during the year ended June 30, 2024.

Determination of Independence

In considering the nature of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit & Risk Management Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit & Risk Management Committee discussed these services with our independent registered public accounting firm and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence.

Additional information concerning the Audit & Risk Management Committee and its activities can be found in the following sections of this Proxy Statement: “Corporate Governance—Audit & Risk Management Committee” and “Report of the Audit & Risk Management Committee.”

Preapproval Policy

According to policies adopted by the Audit & Risk Management Committee and ratified by our Board, to ensure compliance with the SEC’s rules regarding auditor independence, all audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be preapproved by the Audit & Risk Management Committee. The Audit & Risk Management Committee has established a general preapproval policy for certain audit and non-audit services, up to a specified amount for each identified service that may be provided by the independent auditors.

The Audit & Risk Management Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of all services provided by Ernst & Young LLP during the year ended June 30, 2024. The Audit & Risk Management Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Audit & Risk Management Committee

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OUR AUDIT & RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial-reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, and applicable laws and regulations. The Audit & Risk Management Committee is responsible for appointing, compensating, overseeing, and, where appropriate, discharging and replacing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent accounting firm”). In addition, the Audit & Risk Management Committee is involved in the selection of the lead audit engagement partner whenever a rotational change is required by applicable law or listing standards or for any other reason. The independent accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, once applicable, the independent accounting firm will express its own opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit & Risk Management Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes.

The function of the Audit & Risk Management Committee is not intended to duplicate or attest as to the activities of management and the independent accounting firm, nor can the Audit & Risk Management Committee certify that the independent accounting firm is “independent” under applicable rules. The Audit & Risk Management Committee serves a board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel, and direction to management and the independent accounting firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the independent accounting firm, and the experience of the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s members in business, financial, and accounting matters.

In this context, the Audit & Risk Management Committee met and held numerous discussions with management and the independent accounting firm during fiscal year 2024. Management represented to the Audit & Risk Management Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and the Audit & Risk Management Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accounting firm. The Audit & Risk Management Committee discussed with the independent accounting firm matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The independent accounting firm also provided to the Audit & Risk Management Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and the Audit & Risk Management Committee discussed with the independent accounting firm the firm’s independence.

Based upon the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s discussion with management and the independent accounting firm and the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent accounting firm on the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Audit & Risk Management Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 23, 2024.

PROPOSAL THREE:

TO RATIFY AND APPROVE, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 7.4 AND FOR ALL OTHER

PURPOSES, OF THE PRIOR ISSUANCE OF 489,088 SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON

STOCK TO H&P, UPON THE CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE.

Our Board is asking our stockholders to ratify and approve, under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, the issuance of 489,088 shares of Common Stock to H&P by the Company on June 29, 2024, upon conversion of the Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $9,390,500.00 million.

On June 23, 2023, the Company’s predecessor, Tamboran Resources Limited, entered into a funding arrangement with Helmerich & Payne International Holdings, LLC upon which it agreed to issue unsecured subordinated convertible notes to raise up to a maximum of US$9,000,000. Helmerich & Payne International Holdings, LLC is an existing Stockholder of the Company who, as at June 23, 2023, held approximately 7.48% of Tamboran Resources Limited’s entire issued ordinary share capital. Helmerich & Payne International Holdings, LLC also has a nominee director currently serving on the Board of the Company. The funding arrangement between Tamboran Resources Limited and Helmerich & Payne International Holdings, LLC was approved by Tamboran Resources Limited’s shareholders in general meeting on August 21, 2023.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 requirements

On June 4, 2024, the parties agreed to revise such arrangement and the Company issued the Convertible Note to H&P, using its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Convertible Note was issued in exchange and satisfaction of mobilization and related expenses incurred by the Company for the transportation of an H&P super-spec FlexRig® Flex 3 Rig from the United States to the Northern Territory and is guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. On June 28, 2024, the Convertible Note converted into an aggregate of 489,088 shares of Common Stock (the “H&P Common Stock”) at a conversion price of US$19.20 for the aggregate principal amount of US$9,390,500.00 (the “ Principal Amount”).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed entity can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

As the issue of the Convertible Note did not fall within any of the specified exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and it has not yet been approved by Stockholders, the issue of the Convertible Note has used up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and has thereby reduced the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Stockholder approval over the 12-month period from the date of issue of the Convertible Note.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, where the Company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities (made without Stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued by the Company in any 12-month period within the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

However, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if:

the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

the issue is subsequently approved or ratified by shareholders.

The Convertible Note was issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and is therefore included in the calculation of the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. There was no breach of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as a result of the issue of the Convertible Note.

Tamboran wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

The purpose of this proposal is to seek ratification and approval, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, of the issue of the H&P Common Stock. If approved, the H&P Common Stock be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby increasing the Company’s ability to issue additional equity securities without shareholder approval.

If not approved, the H&P Common Stock be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby limiting the Company’s ability to issue additional equity securities without shareholder approval.

Additional information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this proposal:

the H&P Common Stock was issued to H&P, who is not a related party of the Company;

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS (OTHER THAN MR. JOHN BELL, WHO ABSTAINS GIVEN HIS PERSONAL INTEREST IN THIS PROPOSAL) RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 7.4 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, THE PRIOR ISSUE OF 489,088 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO H&P, UPON THE CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE.

PROPOSAL FOUR:

TO APPROVE, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.11 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, OF THE ISSUANCE OF 312,500 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (WHICH MAY BE REPRESENTED BY CDIS) TO DALY WATERS ENERGY, LP (OR ITS NOMINEE) IN SATISFACTION OF CERTAIN

PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE TB1 JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT).

Sheffield Holdings, LP and Mr. Bryan Sheffield are a substantial (10%+) Stockholder who has nominated two directors to the Board. Mr. Bryan Sheffield has ultimate control of voting decisions of Formentera Investments LLC, which is the sole general partner of Formentera Australia Fund I GP, LP, which is the sole general partner of Daly Waters Energy, LP. On June 3, 2024, Daly Waters Energy, LP entered into a Deed of Amendment and Restatement of the Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement (the “JVSA”).

Concurrent with our IPO, Daly Waters Energy, LP agreed to accept the issue of 312,500 shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of US$24, being a total of US$7.5 million in shares of Common Stock (the “Daly Waters Placement Common Stock”) in satisfaction of obligations under the JVSA, provided that the gross proceeds resulting from the offering were at least $75 million (the “Daly Waters Placement”).

This Proposal seeks the approval of Stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to grant shares of Common Stock of the Company to Daly Waters Energy, LP.

ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

10.11.1

a related party;

10.11.2

a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder;

10.11.3

a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder and who has nominated a director to the board pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

10.11.4

an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

10.11.5

a person whose relationship with the person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Stockholders,

unless it obtains the approval of Stockholders.

The issue of the shares of Common Stock to Daly Waters Energy, LP’s under the Daly Waters Placement falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12, therefore requiring the approval of Stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

This Proposal seeks the required Stockholder approval for the issue the Daly Waters Placement Common Stock pursuant to the Daly Waters Placement for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes.

Effect of this Proposal

If this Proposal is passed by Stockholders, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Daly Waters Placement Common Stock pursuant to the Daly Waters Placement.

As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Daly Waters Placement Common Stock pursuant to Daly Waters Placement (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 therefore applies), the issue of the Daly Waters Placement Common Stock will not use up any of the Company’s 25% placement capacity.

If this Proposal is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Daly Waters Placement Common Stock under the Daly Waters Placement to Daly Waters Energy, LP. In these circumstances, the Company will be unable to waive the obligations provided under the JVSA.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, we confirm the following information:

The shares of Common Stock will be issued to Daly Waters Energy, LP.

(i)

Daly Waters Energy, LP falls within the category set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4 by virtue of being an associate of Sheffield Holdings, LP and Mr. Bryan Sheffield.

(ii)

Sheffield Holdings, LP and Mr. Bryan Sheffield fall within the category set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3 by virtue of being a substantial (10%+) Stockholder who has nominated a director to the Board.

312,500 fully paid shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Daly Waters Placement.

The Daly Waters Placement Common Stock will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

The issue price will be US$24.00 per share of Common Stock, being a total of US$7.5 million.

The Daly Waters Placement Common Stock are being issued to Daly Waters Energy, LP in satisfaction of obligations under the JVSA in connection with the Daly Waters Placement.

A summary of the material terms of the JVSA is set out in at Schedule 3 of this Proxy Statement.

A voting exclusion applies to this Proposal and is included above.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

As set forth in “—Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” in this Proxy Statement, Ms. Reed is a current director of the Company and a nominee set forth in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Bryan Sheffield’s nomination right. Ms. Reed is an affiliate of Daly Waters Energy, LP.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS (OTHER THAN SHEFFIELD HOLDINGS, LP, MR. BRYAN SHEFFIELD OR STEPHANIE REED, WHO ABSTAIN GIVEN THEIR PERSONAL INTEREST IN THIS PROPOSAL) RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.11 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, THE ISSUANCE OF 312,500 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (WHICH MAY BE REPRESENTED BY CDIS) TO DALY WATERS, LP (OR ITS NOMINEE).

PROPOSAL FIVE:

TO APPROVE, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (WHICH MAY BE REPRESENTED BY CDIS) TO MR. RYAN DALTON (OR HIS NOMINEE) UP TO A VALUE OF US$200,000 IN EACH FISCAL YEAR DURING THE THREE YEAR PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF THIS ANNUAL MEETING (BEING IN AGGREGATE UP TO A VALUE OF US$600,000) UNDER THE 2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, IN LIEU OF THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF DIRECTORS FEES OTHERWISE PAYABLE TO HIM BY THE COMPANY AT HIS ELECTION.

This Proposal seeks the approval of Stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to:

permit Mr. Ryan Dalton to elect to receive up to US$200,000 of his directors’ fees in each fiscal year during the three year period from the date of this Annual Meeting (being in aggregate up to US$600,000 in the three year period) in the form of shares of Common Stock or CDIs of the Company (the “Director Securities”) rather than in the form of a cash payment of that amount for 50% or 100% of his Directors’ fees accrued, pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

If Stockholder approval is obtained, the relevant securities will be issued under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

The purpose of allowing Mr. Ryan Dalton to elect to be issued Director Securities is to promote ownership in the Company and to align his interests with those of Stockholders by linking part of his remuneration to the long-term success of the Company and its financial performance. If Mr. Ryan Dalton elects to be issued securities in the Company, it will also reduce the cash component of the directors’ fees that the Company will need to provide to Mr. Ryan Dalton and thereby increase the Company’s funds that are available for working capital.

Restriction on ability to issue securities without approval

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that the Company must not permit a director or an associate of a director of the Company to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of the Stockholders. The Plan is an ‘employee incentive scheme’ for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.

Further, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company from issuing in any 12-month period new shares, or securities convertible to shares, which are equivalent in number to more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of the 12-month period without the prior approval of Stockholders, unless the issue of equity securities is subject to an exception. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14 provides that where an issue of securities is approved by Stockholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, it will be exempt from the Company’s 15% placement capacity restriction.

Effect of this Proposal

If this Proposal is approved, the Company will be able to issue securities in the Company to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his respective nominee) over a period of three years from the date of the Annual Meeting without:

needing to obtain additional Stockholder approval under Chapter 10 of the ASX Listing Rules for each issue of securities; or

impacting the Company’s placement capacity limit under ASX Listing Rules 7.1.

If this Proposal is not approved, no securities in the Company will be able to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) as contemplated by this Proxy Statement.

If this Proposal is approved by Stockholders, there is, however, no obligation for Mr. Ryan Dalton to elect to be issued securities in the Company and in such circumstances he will receive the relevant amount of his directors’ fees by way of a cash payment in the normal course.

Maximum Number of Director Securities to be Issued

During the three-year period contemplated by this Proposal, Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) will be entitled to be issued Director Securities up to the value of $200,000 per fiscal year. By delivering notice to the Company’s Secretary, Mr. Ryan Dalton may elect to be issued Director Securities in a single tranche or multiple tranches throughout each fiscal year (up to the maximum aggregate value of US$200,000 per fiscal year).

The number of Director Securities to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) at a particular time will be determined in accordance with the following formula (“Formula”):

DS = A / B

Where:


		DS		means the number of Director Securities to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee), rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

		A		means the amount of directors’ fees that Mr. Ryan Dalton has elected to receive in the form of Director Securities rather than in cash.

		B		means the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock trading on the NYSE over the 5 trading days immediately before the date on which Mr. Ryan Dalton advises the Company that he wishes to apply a specified portion of his directors’ fees to be issued Director Securities (“5 Day VWAP”).

Set out below are example calculations of the number of Director Securities that may be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) during any given fiscal year, based on the Formula.

Example 1:

If, by way of example, Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) was to be issued Director Securities equal to his maximum annual entitlement (i.e. US$200,000) in one tranche and the election to be issued such Director Securities was made on September 1, 2024 the number of Director Securities that would be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) in respect of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 would be calculated in accordance with the Formula as follows:

A = US$200,000

B = US$26 (this is an example 5 Day VWAP only)

DS = 7,693 shares of Common Stock / 1,538,600 CDIs rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (being the result of dividing A by B)

Example 2:

If, by way of example, Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) was issued Director Securities equal to the maximum annual entitlement (i.e. US$200,000) pursuant to multiple tranches throughout the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the number of Director Securities that would be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) for that fiscal year would be calculated in accordance with the Formula as follows:

First tranche – August 2024

A = US$50,000

B = US$27 (this is an example 5 Day VWAP only)

DS = 1,852 shares of Common Stock / 370,400 CDIs rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (being the result of dividing A by B)

Second tranche – November 2024

A = US$50,000

B = US$28 (this is an example 5 Day VWAP only)

DS = 1,786 shares of Common Stock / 357,200 CDIs rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (being the result of dividing A by B)

Third tranche – February 2025

A = US$50,000

B = US$29 (this is an example 5 Day VWAP only)

DS = 1,725 shares of Common Stock / 345,000 CDIs rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (being the result of dividing A by B)

Fourth tranche – July 2025

A = US$50,000

B = US$30 (this is an example 5 Day VWAP only)

DS = 1,667 shares of Common Stock / 333,400 CDIs rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (being the result of dividing A by B)

As a result, the aggregate number of Director Securities to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) over the course of the fiscal year ending 30 June 2025 would be 7,030 shares of Common Stock / 1,406,000 CDIs

It is important that Stockholders note that the above calculations are examples only and the number of Director Securities issued will depend on the actual 5 Day VWAP when Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) elects to be issued Director Securities and, as a result, the number of Director Securities actually issued may vary materially from the numbers set out above.

Additional information required under ASX Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and 10.15, the following information is provided:

The Directors Securities are proposed to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee). Mr. Ryan Dalton is a director of the Company, and therefore falls into the category under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (or CDIs representing the underlying shares of Common Stock) that may be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee) under the Plan pursuant

to this Proposal will be determined in accordance with the Formula set out above. Over the three-year approval period, this amounts to that number of shares of Common Stock (or CDIs) that is equal in value up to US$600,000.

Mr. Ryan Dalton’s total current remuneration package is US$88,425.00.

No securities have previously been issued to any person under the Plan. Options in Tamboran Resources Limited, the Company’s predecessor, were granted to certain employees and Directors in May 2021.

(i)

As a result of the re-domiciliation of the Company’s predecessor, Tamboran Resources Limited, from Australia to the United States, the abovementioned securities were exchanged for equivalent securities in the Company in accordance with the exchange ratios detailed in the Tamboran Resources Limited Scheme Booklet dated October 27, 2023. No Options have been exercised by any Directors as at the date of this Proxy Statement. The current interests of each of the directors of the Company have been disclosed to ASX and are available on ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au.

Any Director Securities to be issued to Mr. Ryan Dalton (or his nominee), if approved under this Proposal, will be issued no later than three years after the date of the Annual Meeting.

No cash consideration, as securities will be issued to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay an equivalent amount of directors’ fees to Mr. Ryan Dalton.

No cash consideration will be paid in exchange for the issue of any Director securities, as the securities will be issued to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay an equivalent amount of directors’ fees to Mr. Ryan Dalton.

The Company confirms the following:

details of any securities issued under the Plan in accordance with this Proposal will, if approved by Stockholders, be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which such securities were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14; and

(ii)

any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after this Proposal are approved and who were not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of that person.

A copy of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement at Schedule 2.

A voting exclusion statement applies to this Proposal and is included above.

SCHEDULE TWO – THE PLAN

PURPOSE

The Plan’s purpose is to provide eligible Service Providers the opportunity to participate in the growth and profits of the Company and to attract, motivate, and retain the services of such persons to promote the long term success of the Company. Capitalized terms used in the Plan are defined in Article XI.

ELIGIBILITY

Service Providers are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein.

ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

Administration. The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions and reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award Agreement as it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions, nor grant any Awards, that would violate any Applicable Law in the United States or, while the Company is listed on the ASX, would contravene the ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.

Appointment of Committees. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Board or the Administrator may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or one or more committees of officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) officers of the Company (or non-employee Directors) to whom the authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. The Board or the Administrator, as applicable, may rescind any such delegation, abolish any such Committee or committee and/or re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority at any time.

STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article VIII and further subject to the terms of this Article IV, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be equal to the Overall Share Limit. Shares issued under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.

Share Recycling. If all or any part of an Award expires, lapses or is terminated, exchanged for or settled in cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan. In addition, Shares delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the

Company by a Participant to satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of an Award and/or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award (including Shares retained by the Company from the Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation) will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for grant under Section 4.1 and shall not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof; and (ii) Shares purchased on the open market by the Company with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options.

Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no more than 5,000,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or equity securities, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other equity or equity-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has equity securities available under a pre-existing plan approved by equityholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the equity securities available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the equityholders of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above); provided that Awards using such available Shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Service Providers prior to such acquisition or combination.

Non-Employee Director Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may establish compensation for non-employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in the Plan and/or pursuant to a written nondiscretionary formula established by the Administrator (the “Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Policy”). The sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Awards granted to a non-employee Director as compensation for services as a non-employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $1,000,000 (the “Director Limit”). The Administrator may make exceptions to the Director Limit in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous compensation decisions involving non-employee Directors.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to Service Providers subject to the limitations in the Plan, including any limitations in the Plan that apply to Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, and

the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose, and which amount shall be payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement. At all times while the Company is subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Administrator may not grant Options if to do so would result in there being more Options issued and outstanding than underlying Shares in the Company, except as permitted under the ASX Listing Rules.

Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option (subject to Section 5.6) or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

Duration. Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 5.6, the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless determined otherwise by the Company, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (other than an Incentive Stock Option) (i) the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by Applicable Law, as determined by the Administrator, or (ii) Shares may not be purchased or sold by the applicable Participant due to any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended until the date that is 30 days after the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement, as determined by the Company, to the extent permitted under, and subject to any limitations provided under, Applicable Law and provided that such extension would not result in the imposition of taxes or penalties by operation of Section 409A. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (i) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (ii) the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire ninety (90) days following such Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to exercise any Option or Stock Appreciation Right issued to the Participant shall terminate immediately upon such violation, unless the Administrator otherwise determines.

Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or its Agent) a written notice of exercise, in a form the Administrator approves (which may be electronic and provided through the online platform maintained by an Agent), signed or submitted by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full (i) as specified in Section 5.5 for the number of Shares for which the Award is exercised and (ii) as specified in Section 9.5 for any applicable taxes. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

Payment Upon Exercise. Subject to Section 10.8, any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) and Applicable Laws, the exercise price of an Option must be paid by online payment through the Agent’s electronic platform or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent (or, in each case, if the Company has no Agent accepting payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company) or by:

cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Administrator may limit the use of one of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted;

if there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator;

to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the delivery date;

to the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

to the extent permitted by the Administrator, and solely with respect to Options that are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, electing to receive, without payment of a cash exercise price, the number of Shares determined in accordance with the formula A = B (C-D) / C. Where: A = the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant; B = the number of Shares otherwise issuable upon the Options being exercised; C = the Fair Market Value of one Share determined as of the date of delivery of the exercise notice; and D the Exercise Price. For example, if a Participant intended to exercise 100 Options where each Option had an Exercise Price of $1.00 and gave an entitlement to 1 Share, and the current Fair Market Value of a Share was $1.25, then the formula described above would be applied as follows: A = 100 (1.25 – 1.00) / 1.25. “A” would equal 20, and therefore the Participant, on cashless exercise would be issued 20 Shares.

to the extent permitted by the Administrator, other than for Participants subject to Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries, delivery of a promissory note, in a form determined by or acceptable to the Administrator, or any other property that the Administrator determines is good and valuable consideration; or

to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the above payment forms approved by the Administrator.

New Issues – Options. While the Company is subject to the ASX Listing Rules, no Participant shall have the right to participate in new issues of Shares to existing holders of Shares (e.g. a “rights offering”) with respect to Shares subject to his or her Option, unless the Participant has exercised the Option and is registered as the holder of the underlying Shares prior to the record date for the determination of entitlements to participate in the new issue.

Amendment or Cancellation of Options. While the Company is subject to the ASX Listing Rules: (a) Under no circumstances may the terms of any outstanding Option be amended or modified so as to have any of the following effects unless the amendment or modification is made to comply with the ASX Listing Rules or unless

otherwise permitted by the ASX Listing Rules or by a waiver granted by the ASX: (i) reducing the exercise price of an Option, (ii) increasing the period for exercise of an Option without the approval of the Administrator, as provided in Section 9.6, or (iii) increasing the number of Shares received on exercise of an Option. Further, any other amendment or modification to the terms of any Option can only be made with stockholder approval or on the provision of a waiver granted by ASX from the ASX Listing Rules; (b) under no circumstances may any amendment or modification be made to the terms of an Option which has the effect of cancelling the Option unless (i) stockholder approval has been obtained for the cancellation of the Option, or (ii) no consideration is provided to the Participant in connection with the cancellation of the Option, or (iii) the amendment or modification is made to comply with the ASX Listing Rules; and (c) the per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option and/or the number of Shares over which an Option can be exercised may be changed in accordance with ASX Listing Rules.

Options over Percentages. At all times while the Company is subject to the ASX Listing Rules, no Option can be exercisable over a percentage of the Company’s capital.

Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to Employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (i) two years from the grant date of the Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including by becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant (or to require forfeiture of such Shares) if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant to Service Providers Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award, as set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator will determine and set forth in the Award Agreement the terms and conditions for each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Plan.

Restricted Stock.

Rights as Stockholders. Subject to the Company’s right of repurchase as described above, upon issuance of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan.

Dividends. Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all ordinary cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise in the Award Agreement. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any award of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid to holders of Common Stock prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Participant holding such Restricted Stock to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied. All such dividend payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to the dividend payment becomes nonforfeitable.

Stock Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock certificates issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

Restricted Stock Units.

Settlement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. Restricted Stock Units may be settled in cash or in Shares, as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Stockholder Rights. A Participant will have no rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to any Restricted Stock Unit unless and until the Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit.

Dividend Equivalents. For clarity, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions applicable to the underlying Award are satisfied. All such Dividend Equivalent payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to the Dividend Equivalent payment becomes nonforfeitable in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or unless deferred in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A.

OTHER STOCK OR CASH BASED AWARDS; DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

7.1 Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive Shares to be delivered in the future and including annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified Performance Criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s) (which may be based on the Performance Criteria), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. In addition, the Company may adopt subplans or programs under the Plan pursuant to which it makes Awards available in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

7.2 Dividend Equivalents. A grant of Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock or Cash Based Award may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents, and no dividends or Dividend Equivalents

shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are paid and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions applicable to the underlying Award are satisfied. All such Dividend Equivalent payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to the Dividend Equivalent payment becomes nonforfeitable in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK

AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, the Administrator will equitably adjust each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the Award’s exercise price or grant price (if applicable), granting new Awards to Participants, and/or making a cash payment to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 8.1 will be nondiscretionary and final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change), is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles:

To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or equivalent value thereof in cash, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article IV on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued, including pursuant to any Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price or applicable performance goals), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards. In this respect, where the ASX Listing Rules apply, the Administrator shall make such adjustments as are necessary and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules to the number, class or type securities that are subject to the Award, the exercise price or purchase price of the Award and such other adjustments as are appropriate in the discretion of the Board and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Such adjustments may provide for the elimination of fractional securities that may otherwise be subject to Awards without payment;

To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or

To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.

Effect of Non-Assumption in a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Award is not continued, converted, assumed or replaced with a substantially similar award by (a) the Company, or (b) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”), and provided that the Participant has not had a Termination of Service, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, such Award shall become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Award shall lapse, in which case, such Award shall be canceled upon the consummation of the Change in Control in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock (i) which may be on such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock under the Change in Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may provide, and (ii) determined by reference to the number of Shares subject to such Award and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the Change in Control under Section 409A (to the extent applicable to such Award) without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A (including payments as a result of any termination of “nonqualified deferred compensation” Awards permitted under Section 409A in connection with a Change in Control), the timing of such payments shall be governed by the applicable Award Agreement (subject to any deferred consideration provisions applicable under the Change in Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which the Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Award at the time of the Change in Control is equal to or less than zero, then such Award may be terminated without payment. The Administrator shall determine whether an Assumption of an Award has occurred in connection with a Change in Control.

Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of Common Stock, including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction, for administrative convenience, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award for up to 60 days before or after such transaction.

General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 8.1 or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number

of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Article VIII.

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

Transferability. Except as the Administrator may determine or provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except for certain beneficiary designations, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable only by the Participant. Any permitted transfer of an Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law, and such Award transferred to a permitted transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant and the Participant or transferor and the receiving permitted transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a Participant’s authorized transferee that the Administrator specifically approves.

Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement, which may be written or electronic, as the Administrator determines. The Award Agreement will contain the terms and conditions applicable to an Award. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

Termination of Status. The Administrator will determine how a Participant’s Disability, death, retirement, an authorized or unauthorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award (including whether and when a Termination of Service has occurred) and the extent to which, and the period during which the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable.

Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations based on the applicable statutory withholding rates (or such other rate as may be determined by the Administrator after considering any accounting consequences or costs) from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. Subject to Section 10.8 and any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations through the Agent’s electronic platform or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent (or, in each case, if the Company has no Agent accepting payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company) or (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by check made payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Company may limit the use of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, (iii) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including

electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator, or (iv) to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the foregoing payment forms approved by the Administrator. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be so delivered or retained pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery or retention no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America), and for clarity, may be less than such maximum individual statutory tax rate if so determined by the Administrator. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (ii) above by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award creating the tax obligation and there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable Participant’s behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.

Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option; provided that only the Board may and shall retain the exclusive power to increase the period for exercise of an Option beyond the time period(s) specified in the applicable Award Agreement (and in no event may the Board extend such period beyond the original 10-year term applicable to such Option). The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article VIII or pursuant to Section 10.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or (ii) cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any Applicable Laws. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

Cash Settlement. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of the Plan, the Administrator may provide, in an Award Agreement or subsequent to the grant of an Award, in its discretion, that any Award may be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof.

Broker-Assisted Sales . In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 9.5: (i) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (ii) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (iii) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (iv) to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company or its Subsidiary will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (v) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (vi) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

MISCELLANEOUS

No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate their respective relationships with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan.

No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Laws require, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

Effective Date and Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan will become effective on the day prior to the Public Trading Date (the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Board adopted the Plan or (ii) the date the Company’s stockholders approved the Plan, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted under the Plan after 10 years from the earlier of (i) the date the Board adopted the Plan or (ii) the date the Company’s stockholders approved the Plan, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Plan will not become effective, no Awards will be granted under the Plan will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that no amendment, other than (i) as permitted by the applicable Award Agreement, (ii) as provided under Section 10.6 and 10.15, or (iii) an amendment to increase the Overall Share Limit, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after the Plan’s termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters; provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the Overall Share Limit or the Director Limit.

Section 409A.

General. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 10.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under the Plan that may be made in installments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

Separation from Service. If an Award is subject to and constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a termination of a Participant’s Service Provider relationship will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the termination of the Participant’s Service Provider relationship. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”

Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award subject to Section 409A to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his, her or its capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold

harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

Lock-Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any underwriter representative or otherwise, in connection with registering the offering of any Company securities under the Securities Act, prohibit Participants from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any Shares or other Company securities during a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of a Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or such longer period as determined by the underwriter.

Compliance with ASX Listing Rules. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, while the Company is listed on the ASX, the rights of a person holding Options and the terms of any such Options (and, to the extent required by the ASX Listing Rules, the rights of a recipient of other Awards and the terms of any other Awards) must be amended by the Company to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganization of capital at the time of the reorganization, and each Option holder and recipient of any other Award by participating in this Plan is deemed to have consented to any such amendments. To the extent that the terms of the relevant Option or other Award do not permit the Option or Award to be treated in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the terms of that Option or Award must be amended so that the Option or other Award can be treated in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Compliance. No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, no Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Dividend Equivalent Right or any other Award shall be granted or settled, no Award shall be amended in any way, no Shares shall be issued, no certificates for Shares shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party and the rules of all stock exchanges on which the Company’s securities may be listed (including, while the Company’s securities are listed on the ASX, the ASX Listing Rules). The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any stock certificate evidencing Shares issued pursuant to an Award may bear such legends and statements as the Administrator may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and to reflect any other restrictions applicable to such Shares as the Committee otherwise deems appropriate. No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, no Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Dividend Equivalent Right or any other Award shall be granted or settled, no Award shall be amended in any way, no Shares shall be issued, no certificate for Shares shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent, waiver or approval as the Administrator may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters (including, while the Company’s securities are listed on the ASX, any consent, waiver or approvals required under the ASX Listing Rules).

Listing Rules. While the Company’s securities are listed for trading on any securities exchange or market (including, without limitation, ASX), the Company and the Administrator must not make any amendments to this Plan or any Award or issue any Awards or take any other action unless such action complies with the relevant listing rules of such securities exchange.

Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this section by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security number, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to

implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents provided for in this Section 10.9 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. If the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents provided for in this Section 10.9, the Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary) that the Administrator has approved, the Plan will govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that the specific provision of the Plan will not apply. For clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of any additive language contained in an Award Agreement or other written agreement which provides supplemental or additional terms not inconsistent with the Plan.

Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

Claw-back Provisions. All Awards (including, without limitation, any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by a Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with Applicable Laws (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) as and to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy or the Award Agreement.

Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in conformance with Applicable Laws. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AUSTRALIAN SERVICE PROVIDERS

Pursuant to section 10.5 of the Tamboran Resources Corporation 2024 Equity Award Plan (the “Plan”), this Addendum shall apply to all Awards granted to Service Providers who are Australian citizens or permanent residents (an “Australian Participant”). This Addendum shall supplement the Plan, and, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, will otherwise supersede any conflicting provisions of the Plan, regarding any Australian Participant. Capitalized terms used in this Addendum and not defined herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Plan.

ADVICE

1.1 Advice. There may be legal and tax consequences associated with participation in the Plan. Australian Participants should ensure that they understand these consequences before accepting an invitation to participate in the Plan. Any advice given by or on behalf of the Company is general advice only and Australian Participants should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.

ARTICLE I.

GRANT OF AWARDS TO AUSTRALIAN PARTICIPANTS

1.1 Form of Award Agreement. An offer of an Award to an Australian Participant must be in writing and be subject to any terms or restrictions determined by the Administrator.

1.4 CDIs to be Allocated to Australian Participants. (A) Subject to clause 2.4(B), whilst the Company is listed on ASX, each Award may entitle an Australian Participant to the issue of CDIs unless the Administrator determines otherwise. (B) Australian Participants may, by written notice to the Company, request to receive shares of common stock in the Company on the vesting or exercise of an Award in lieu of CDIs (as applicable) and approval of this request shall be in the Company’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE III.

CASHLESS EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

3.1 Cashless exercise of Options. (A) Subject to the Listing Rules, at any time during the Exercise Period in respect of an Australian Participant’s vested options, the Australian Participant may exercise any or all of those vested Options by: (i) paying the Exercise Price to the Company in the manner directed by the Administrator and providing the Company with a completed exercise notice in the form determined by the Administrator; or (ii) in lieu of paying the cash Exercise Price, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit an Australian Participant to elect to receive, without payment of a cash Exercise Price, the number of Securities determined in accordance with the following formula:

Where:


		*B(C-D)*
A	=	C


A =		the number of Securities to be issued to the Australian Participant;

B =		the number of Securities otherwise issuable upon the Options being exercised

C =		the Market Value of one Securities determined as of the date of delivery of the exercise notice; and

D =		the Exercise Price.

Worked example:

For example, if an Australian Participant intended to exercise 100 vested options where each Option had an Exercise Price of $1.00 and gave an entitlement to 1 CDI, and the current Market Value of a CDI was $1.25, then:

B = 100

C = $1.25

D = $1.00

and the formula described above would be applied as follows:

A =

100 (1.25 – 1.00)

1.25

“A” would equal 20, and therefore the Australian Participant, on cashless exercise would be issued 20 CDIs.

ARTICLE IV.

TAXATION ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Withholding. If a Group Company is obliged, or reasonably believes it may have an obligation, as a result of or in connection with: (a) the grant of an Award to an Australian Participant, or the vesting or exercise

of an Award; (b) the payment of any cash amount to an Australian Participant; or; (c) the Allocation of Securities to, or on behalf of, an Australian Participant to account for income tax or employment taxes under any wage, withholding or other arrangements or for any other tax, social security contributions or levy or charge of a similar nature (the “Tax Liability”), then the Group Company is entitled, at their election, to: (i) withhold such amounts and make such arrangements as it considers necessary; or (ii) be reimbursed by the Australian Participant, for the amount or amounts so paid or payable.

4.2 Reimbursement of Tax Liability. Where clause 4.1 applies, the Group Company is not obliged to grant the Award, pay the relevant amount or Allocate the relevant Securities to the Australian Participant unless the Group Company is satisfied that arrangements have been made for withholding, payment or reimbursement of the Tax Liability. Those arrangements may include, at the Group Company’s election: (a) the Australian Participant forgoing their entitlement to an equivalent number of Securities that would otherwise be Allocated to them; (b) a reduction in any amount that is otherwise payable to the Australian Participant; or (c) the sale, on behalf of the Australian Participant, of Securities Allocated or otherwise to be Allocated to them. Where this happens, the Australian Participant will also reimburse the costs of the sale, including any stamp duty or brokerage, in addition to the Tax Liability.

4.3 Tax Information. Australian Participants acknowledge that the Company may have reporting obligations in relation to participation in the Plan. Australian Participants authorise the Company to provide information regarding their participation in the Plan to any tax authority or other person to the extent required by law or by the official policy of the tax authority or a government agency.

4.4 Transfers outside Australia. If an Australian Participant is transferred to work for a Group Company outside Australia and, as a result of that transfer, would: (a) suffer a tax disadvantage in relation to their Awards which is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrator; or (b) become subject to restrictions on their ability to deal with the Awards, or to hold or deal in the Securities or the proceeds of the Securities acquired on vesting or exercise, because of the laws of the country to which they are transferred, then, if the Australian Participant continues to hold an office or employment with a Group Company, the Administrator may decide that the Awards will vest or, in the case of Exercisable Awards, may be exercised on a date the Administrator determines before or after the transfer takes effect. The Awards will vest to, or on behalf of, the Australian Participant to the extent permitted by the Administrator and will not lapse as to the balance. The Exercisable Awards may be exercised to the extent permitted by the Administrator.

ARTICLE V.

AWARDS FOR MONETARY CONSIDERATION

5.1 Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act. If Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act and any amending instrument is relied on by the Company for the issue of Awards to Australian Participants for Monetary Consideration under the Plan, then the Administrator shall not invite an Australian Participant to participate in the Plan if the total number of Securities issued would exceed the issue cap specified in the Company By-laws (if any) or, if the Company By-laws do not specify an issue cap, the percentage prescribed in section 1100V(2) of the Corporations Act.

ARTICLE VI.

RESALE RESTRICTIONS

6.1 Resale restrictions. Following the exercise of an Award and the Allocation of CDIs, if the Company is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or such a notice for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the CDIs does not require disclosure to investors, CDIs issued on exercise of an Award may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at

its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act. The Company is authorised by the holder to apply a holding lock on the relevant CDIs during the period of such restriction from trading.

ARTICLE VII.

FORFEITURE OF AWARDS

7.1 Termination of service. Where an Australian Participant who holds Awards becomes a Leaver, all unvested Awards will automatically be forfeited by the participant, unless the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that Special Circumstances apply. “Special Circumstances” for the purposes of this clause 7.1 may include a Participant becoming a Leaver due to death, redundancy, permanent disability, mental incapacity, retirement or any other circumstances the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

7.2 Fraudulent or dishonest actions. Where the Administrator determines that an Australian Participant has: (a) acted fraudulently or dishonestly; (b) breached his or her duties or obligations to any Group Company; or (c) done an act which brings any Group Company into disrepute, the Administrator will deem all unvested Awards held by that participant to have been forfeited.

7.3 Failure to Satisfy Vesting Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement or determined by the Administrator, an Award which has not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Administrator determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable Vesting Condition has not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date.

7.4 Insolvency. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement or determined by the Administrator, an Award held by an Australian Participant in accordance with the Plan will be forfeited immediately in the event the participant becomes bankrupt or insolvent (as applicable).

7.5 Other forfeiture events. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan, any Award which has not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the Expiry Date.

7.6 Voluntary forfeiture. An Australian Participant may by written notice to the Company voluntarily forfeit their Awards for no consideration.

7.7 Effect of Forfeiture. Where an Award has been forfeited in accordance with the Plan: (a) the Award will automatically lapse; (b) the participant or their agent or attorney must sign any transfer documents required by the Company to effect the forfeiture of that Award; and (c) the Company will not be liable for any damages or other amounts to the participant in respect of that Award.

ARTICLE VIII.

Checkerboard Strategy		Checkerboard Strategy means an approach to dealing with the permits whereby Tamboran and DWE pursue a split of 50% of Tamboran B2 Pty Ltd’s (“TB1 Operator”) interest in the permits such that the title and ownership of the permits will be split evenly, as between Tamboran and Daly Waters, in terms of equity interest and operated blocks in respect of the specific area. Pursuant to the JVSA, if the parties do not implement the Checkerboard Strategy by December 31, 2024 due to either: (i) ministerial approval to effectuate the Checkerboard Strategy having not been obtained; or (ii) the New Area Joint Venture having not been approved and given effect to under the joint operating agreement dated 2 May 2014 between TB1 Operator and Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited (“JOA”), then, by no later than February 15, 2025, Tamboran shall either: (a) pay DWE a cash payment of US$7.5 million; or (b) subject to shareholder approval, issue CDIs to DWE with a value of US$15 million, with a deemed issue price per share equivalent to the volume weighted average price of CDIs traded on the securities exchange on which Tamboran is listed at the time during the 30 days on which sales in CDIs were recorded prior to December 31, 2024.
