TB1
Tamboran (B1) Pty Ltd (“TB1”) is a 50/50 joint venture between the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Tamboran (West) Pty Ltd (“TR West”), and Daly Waters Energy, LP (“DWE”) governed by the terms of a joint venture
and shareholders agreement originally dated September 18, 2022, as amended and restated on June 3, 2024 and further
amended and restated on May 12, 2025 (as so amended and restated, the “TB1 JVSA”). On March 20, 2026, the parties
entered into a Deed of Addendum to the TB1 JVSA (the “JVSA Addendum”), which further amended the TB1 JVSA. In
determining the primary beneficiary of TB1, the Company considered those activities which most significantly impact the
economic performance of TB1, including, for example, which entity serves as the manager, determination of the strategy
and direction of TB1, and the power to create a budget.
The Group is the sole manager of TB1, responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of TB1. The Group, as
manager, also prepares the work plans and budget of TB1. As such, the Group has the power to direct those activities
which most significantly impact TB1’s economic performance and therefore is the primary beneficiary of TB1. As a result,
the results of TB1 have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. TB1 has no assets
that are collateral for or restricted solely to settle its obligations. The creditors of TB1 do not have recourse to the Group’s
general credit.
The Group also assessed which party to the TB1 JVSA has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the
benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The future profits and losses of TB1 are shared by the
Group and DWE in proportion to their respective equity interest in TB1, however, to date the Group has contributed a
greater proportion of the capital and has no ability to recoup any of the excess funding the Group has made to TB1 from
DWE and therefore has a greater exposure to absorb losses.
Checkerboard Strategy means an approach to dealing with EPs 76, 98 and 117 whereby Tamboran and Daly Waters
pursue a split of 50% of TB1 Operator’s 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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the following material developments occurred with respect to TB1 and the
Checkerboard Strategy:
The JVSA Addendum, among other things, reshaped and expanded the Dev A++ Area by approximately 100,000 acres
and rebranded it as the “Phase 2 Development Area” or “P2DA.” The JVSA Addendum also provides for the
realignment of beneficial interests in certain Checkerboard Blocks upon satisfaction of specified conditions, including
completion of the Group’s acquisition of Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd (see Note 3).
Also on March 20, 2026, TR West, the Company, DWE and Elliott Energy I Pty Ltd (“Elliott”) entered into a Deed of
Addendum to the Asset Sale Agreement dated May 12, 2025 (the “ASA Addendum”). The ASA Addendum extended
the Dev A++ end date to December 31, 2026 and the C10 end date to December 31, 2027, and added approximately
100,000 acres of additional acreage at the same $150 per acre consideration.
On March 23, 2026, TB2 entered into the Checkerboard Sale and Purchase Deed (Stage 1) to effectuate the transfer of
interests in the North and South First Strategic Development Areas (“FSDAs”) plus P2DA and Beetaloo Central
Development Area (“BCD Area”) to the relevant parties in accordance with the Checkerboard Strategy. As of March
31, 2026, the Checkerboard Strategy remains subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions precedent.
On March 25, 2026, TB2 entered into the Checkerboard Sale and Purchase Deed (Stage 2) to effectuate the transfer of
interests in the remaining BJV areas (outside of the FSDAs, P2DA and BCD Area) to the relevant parties in
accordance with the Checkerboard Strategy. As of March 31, 2026, the Checkerboard Strategy remains subject to
regulatory approvals and other conditions precedent.
On March 30, 2026, Tamboran (Beetaloo) Pty Limited entered into a Farm-In Agreement with DWE to farm down
approximately 10,000 acres of its working interest across the FSDAs and BCD Area. The Farm-In Agreement provides
for a staged earn-in of up to approximately $28.5 million, subject to structured off-ramp provisions. Completion is
subject to certain conditions precedent, including closure of the Group’s acquisition of Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
Pursuant to the JVSA Addendum, if the transfer of retention licenses has not occurred by September 30, 2026, DWE
would have the right, under the TB1 JVSA, to assume the role of Manager. In such event, the Group would no longer have
the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact TB1’s economic performance and would no longer be
considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Group would be required to deconsolidate TB1 and recognize its
remaining interest as an equity method investment.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of TB1’s assets and liabilities included in the Group’s
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Tamboran SPCF Pty Ltd
In October 2024, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Tamboran SPCF Pty Ltd (“TR SPCF”), entered
into a Unit Holders and Shareholders Deed with Daly Waters Infrastructure, LP (“DWI”) for the establishment of a trust
(“SPCF Sub Trust”) to be owned 50%/50% by the Group and DWI to own the SPCF. In determining the primary
beneficiary of the SPCF Sub Trust, the Company considered those activities that most significantly impact the economic
performance of the SPCF, including, for example, which entity serves as the manager, determination of the strategy and
direction of the SPCF, and the power to create a budget.
The Group was appointed as manager of the SPCF Sub Trust responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of
the SPCF. The Group, as manager, also prepares the work plans and budget of the SPCF Sub Trust. As such, the Group has
the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact the SPCF’s economic performance and therefore is the
primary beneficiary of the SPCF Sub Trust. As a result, the results of SPCF Sub Trust have been included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. SPCF Sub Trust has no assets that are collateral for or
restricted solely to settle its obligations. The creditors of SPCF Sub Trust do not have recourse to the Group’s general
credit.
The Group also assessed which party to the SPCF Sub Trust has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive
the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The future profits and losses of SPCF Sub Trust are
shared by the Group and DWI in proportion to their respective equity interest in SPCF Sub Trust, and both parties have no
ability to recoup any funding the Group has made to SPCF.
