Description of FLNG 2 Preferred Equity
The FLNG 2 Preferred Interests consist of one class of two hundred thousand (200,000) non-convertible voting perpetual preferred limited liability company membership interests in FLNG 2 Parent. The FLNG 2 Preferred Interests are subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of FLNG 2 Parent, and are, with respect to rights upon any liquidation, senior to all existing and future equity securities of FLNG 2 Parent (including the common interests of FLNG 2 Parent), unless otherwise approved or consented to by the holders of at least a majority of the FLNG 2 Preferred Interests (the “Required Preferred Members”). The holders of the FLNG 2 Preferred Interests are entitled to 100% of the voting power for the board of directors of FLNG 2 Parent. The amended and restated limited liability company agreement of FLNG 2 Parent (the “A&R FLNG 2 Parent LLCA”) contains certain protective consent rights requiring the prior affirmative vote or written consent of the Required Preferred Members for specified actions, including with respect to amendments and modifications of the A&R FLNG 2 Parent LLCA, changes to the capital structure of FLNG 2 Parent, authorization or issuance of new or reclassified equity securities of FLNG 2 Parent and transfers of common interests of FLNG 2 Parent.. On the Closing Date, FLNG 2 Parent entered into back-to-back preferred equity arrangements with respect to the FLNG 2 Preferred Interests with FLNG 2.
FLNG 2 Parent generally has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem each of the outstanding FLNG 2 Preferred Interests in cash at any time and from time to time, in full or in part, at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference of $1,000 per FLNG 2 Preferred Interest. For so long as any FLNG 2 Preferred Interests remain outstanding, no later than five (5) business days following the receipt by FLNG 2 Parent or any of its subsidiaries of any portion of the net proceeds from any asset sale, FLNG 2 Parent shall deliver a redemption notice providing for the payment in cash of each FLNG 2 Preferred Interest’s pro rata share of such net proceeds (after taking into account any cash required or elected to be paid or reserved pursuant to the FLNG 2 Credit Agreement). No distributions shall be made on common interests of FLNG 2 Parent or any other equity securities junior to the FLNG 2 Preferred Interests at any time that any FLNG 2 Preferred Interests remain outstanding.
The foregoing description of the A&R FLNG 2 Parent LLCA and the FLNG 2 Preferred Interests is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R FLNG 2 Parent LLCA, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 and which is incorporated by reference herein.
The offer and sale of the shares of CoreCo common stock, CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and FLNG 2 Preferred Interests in connection with the Transaction are being made in reliance upon an exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. Any shares of CoreCo common stock deliverable upon conversion of shares of the CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Any shares of CoreCo common stock issued in connection with the settlement of the EB-5 Loan Agreement will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Resignation of Directors
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, each of Desmond Iain Catterall, David J. Grain, C. William Griffin, Timothy W. Jay, Randal A. Nardone and Katherine E. Wanner resigned from their positions as members of the Board of Directors, as well as their respective positions as members of various committees thereof, in each case, effective on the Closing Date substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction. No decision to resign resulted from any disagreement with the Company or its management.
Appointment of Directors
On the Closing Date, immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, the Board of Directors decreased its size from eight (8) members to seven (7) members.
Immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, the Board of Directors appointed Anthony M. Abate (62), Douglas S. Aron (52), Maria V. Gordon (52), Steven J. Pully (66) and William P. Wall (64) (each, a “New Director”) to serve as directors of the Company to fill the five (5) vacancies created by the aforementioned resignations.
The initial term of each New Director will continue until the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. In accordance with the RSA discussed above in Item 1.01, the holders of a majority of the outstanding debt under the Revolving Credit Agreement designated Mr. Pully for appointment to the Board of Directors, and holders of a majority of the outstanding debt under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement, together with holders of a majority of the outstanding New 2029 Notes, designated Ms. Gordon and Messrs. Abate, Aron and Wall for appointment to the Board of Directors, with Mr. Wall designated as Non-Executive Chair of the Board of Directors, and designated Charles M. Sledge to continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Sledge presently intends to remain a member of the Board of Directors through December 31, 2026. The Company also understands Mr. Sledge is expected to serve on the board of directors of BrazilCo.
Ms. Gordon and Messrs. Pully and Aron will serve as members of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Pully serving as chair. Ms. Gordon and Messrs. Abate and Sledge will serve as members of the Compensation Committee, with Mr. Abate serving as chair. Messrs. Abate, Aron and Wall will serve as members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with Mr. Wall serving as chair.
The Board of Directors has determined that each New Director is an “independent” director under the Company’s Corporate Governance guidelines and the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, as well as the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC. There are no transactions to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which any New Director has a material interest.
In connection with their appointment to the Board of Directors, the Company entered into its standard indemnification agreement (“Indemnification Agreements”) with each of the New Directors, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. These Indemnification Agreements require the Company to indemnify each New Director to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to the Company, and to advance certain expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
Replacement of Non-Employee Director Cash Compensation Program
In connection with and effective as of the consummation of the Transaction, the newly-constituted Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, terminated the Company’s existing non-employee director compensation program and replaced it with a new program (the “New Director Compensation Program”). Under the New Director Compensation Program, the New Directors, together with Mr. Sledge (the “Non-Executive Directors”), are eligible to receive annual cash retainers (prorated for any partial years of service) of $150,000, with the Non-Executive Chair of the Board of Directors receiving an additional annual cash retainer of $150,000 for service as chair. The Non-Executive Chair of the Board of Directors and the other Non-Executive Directors are also eligible to receive an annual equity equivalent value cash retainer of $450,000 and $250,000, respectively, until the Compensation Committee determines to replace the annual equity equivalent value cash retainers with equity or equity-based awards of appropriate value. The Non-Executive Directors are further eligible to receive the following additional annual cash fees for committee service: Audit Committee – $60,000 (Chair), $20,000 (member); Compensation Committee – $30,000 (Chair), $10,000 (member); and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee – $25,000 (Chair), $10,000 (member). For a period following the consummation of the Transaction determined by the Compensation Committee, the Non-Executive Chair of the Board of Directors will forego any annual cash fees for committee service and instead receive an additional annual service fee of $150,000, while the other Non-Executive Directors will each receive an additional annual service fee of $60,000.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On the Closing Date, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The A&R Certificate of Incorporation became effective upon filing.
Among other amendments, the A&R Certificate of Incorporation effected a reverse stock split of the NFE common stock at a ratio of 1-for-50 (the “Reverse Split”), which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 17, 2026 and by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2026. The CoreCo common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the existing ticker symbol “NFE” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on the Closing Date. The new CUSIP number for the CoreCo common stock is 644393308.
The A&R Certificate of Incorporation includes a Certificate of Designation of Series A Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), establishing the rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations of the CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing. The Certificate of Designation authorizes up to 2,639,716 shares of CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock. The information contained in Item 3.02 of this Current Report relating to the CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock is incorporated herein by reference.
Other material amendments effected by the A&R Certificate of Incorporation include: (i) removal of the existing staggered board of directors structure; (ii) provision for the election of directors by a majority of the total votes that may be cast in the election of directors by holders of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote, replacing the existing plurality voting standard; (iii) increase of the minimum size of the Board of Directors from one director to three directors; (iv) provision for exculpation of certain of the Company’s officers from liability to the extent permitted by Delaware law, substantially aligning the protections for the Company’s officers with those currently afforded to the Company’s directors; (v) removal of any and all references to shares of the Company’s Class B common stock; and (vi) provision that holders of shares of CoreCo common stock will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the A&R Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of shares of preferred stock or other classes or series of capital stock if the holders of such affected classes or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such classes or series, to vote thereon pursuant to the A&R Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company also unanimously adopted the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “A&R By-Laws”).
The foregoing descriptions of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation and A&R By-Laws are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation and A&R By-Laws, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 and which are incorporated by reference herein.

The Company is furnishing as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K certain information (the “Cleansing Information”) previously shared with certain of the Company’s existing creditors regarding the continuing liquidity needs of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain details relating to one or more potential capital raises to support the Company’s continuing operations, together with the CoreCo Capital Raise. The Cleansing Information also includes certain information relating to BrazilCo’s liquidity and capital needs.
The Cleansing Information was prepared solely to facilitate discussions with parties subject to confidentiality agreements and was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, and the Cleansing Information should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The Cleansing Information should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any third party considers the Cleansing Information to be material non-public information or a reliable prediction of future events, and the Cleansing Information should not be relied upon as such. The Cleansing Information includes certain values for illustrative purposes only, and such values are not the result of, and do not represent, actual valuations, estimates, forecasts or projections of the Company or any third party and should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any third party makes any representation to any person regarding the accuracy or completeness of any Cleansing Information or undertakes any obligation to update the Cleansing Information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Cleansing Information was prepared or conveyed or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even if any or all of the assumptions underlying the Cleansing Information become or are shown to be incorrect.
The foregoing description of the Cleansing Information is qualified by reference to the complete presentation of the Cleansing Information, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in this Current Report and the exhibits attached hereto are not an offer to sell or exchange, or solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities.
Right of participation in Capital Raise Term Loans
Plan Creditors receiving New CoreCo Take-Back Term Loans under the Restructuring Plans may participate in their pro rata share of the Capital Raise Senior Term Loans.
Plan Creditors receiving CoreCo Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock as consideration under the Restructuring Plans may participate in their pro rata share of the Capital Raise Junior Term Loans.

Final allocations and transfer of participations are expected to be made on September 22, 2026.
Cautionary Note on Information Regarding Projections
The financial projections, prospective financial information and forecasts (collectively, the “Projections”) included in the Cleansing Information were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for the presentation and preparation of “prospective financial information.” The Company generally does not publicly disclose detailed prospective financial information. The Projections were prepared solely for the limited purpose of providing information in connection with the Company’s discussions about a potential transaction and should not be relied on to make an investment decision with respect to the Company.
The Projections have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. The Projections do not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Neither the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent accountant has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections and, accordingly, none has expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability and none assumes any responsibility for the Projections.
The inclusion of the Projections should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any other person considered, or now consider, the Projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and does not constitute an admission or representation by any person that the expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions that underlie such forecasts remain the same as of the date of this Current Report, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.
The estimates and assumptions underlying the Projections are subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company and may not prove to be accurate. The Projections also do not reflect future changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that may occur and that was not anticipated at the time this information was prepared. The Projections are not, and should not be regarded as, a representation that any of the expectations contained in, or forming a part of, the Projections will be achieved. The Projections are forward-looking in nature. Further, the Projections relate to multiple future years and such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each succeeding day.
The Projections include non-GAAP financial measures, as described in the Cleansing Information. The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between the non-GAAP financials measures included in the Projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
The information contained in Item 7.01 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 of Item 9.01 of this Current Report, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information contained in Items 7.01 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 of Item 9.01 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document or filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
