On March 7, 2017, Don Alan Turkleson was appointed to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tellurian Inc. (the “Corporation”). No family relationships exist between Mr. Turkleson and any of the Corporation’s directors and executive officers. To the Corporation’s knowledge, there are no arrangements between Mr. Turkleson and any other person pursuant to which he was nominated as a director, nor are there any transactions to which the Corporation is or was a participant and in which Mr. Turkleson has a material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Board has appointed Mr. Turkleson to serve as Chair of the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), replacing Martin Houston, who served as a member of the Audit Committee pursuant to a temporary exemption provided by applicable NASDAQ rules. Mr. Turkleson will serve as the Corporation’s audit committee financial expert.

Mr. Turkleson is expected to participate in the Corporation’s standard director compensation programs when they are determined, and to enter into its standard form of director indemnification agreement.
