All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activity, events, or developments with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, or economic performance that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, or that address plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “initial,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “proposed,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things:

Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•risks related to shortages of LNG vessels worldwide;
•technological innovation which may render our anticipated competitive advantage obsolete;

•changes in legislation and regulations relating to the LNG industry, including environmental laws and regulations that impose significant compliance costs and liabilities;
•governmental interventions in the LNG industry, including increases in barriers to international trade;
•uncertainties regarding our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and attract sufficient capital resources to implement our projects;
•our limited operating history;
•our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
•risks related to doing business in, and having counterparties in, foreign countries;
•our reliance on the skill and expertise of third-party service providers;
•the ability of our vendors to meet their contractual obligations;
•risks and uncertainties inherent in management estimates of future operating results and cash flows;
•our ability to maintain compliance with our debt arrangements and other agreements;
•the potential discontinuation of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate;
•changes in competitive factors, including the development or expansion of LNG, pipeline and other projects that are competitive with ours;

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
NOTE 1 — GENERAL
The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Tellurian” and the “Company” as used in this report refer collectively to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity associated with Tellurian Inc.
Nature of Operations
We plan to develop, own and operate a global natural gas business and to deliver natural gas to customers worldwide. Tellurian is developing a portfolio of natural gas production, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets, including an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and an associated pipeline (the “Driftwood pipeline”) in southwest Louisiana. Tellurian intends to develop the Driftwood pipeline as part of what we refer to as the “Pipeline Network.” In addition to the Driftwood pipeline, the Pipeline Network is expected to include two pipelines, the Haynesville Global Access Pipeline and the Permian Global Access Pipeline, both of which are currently in the early stages of development. The Driftwood terminal, the Pipeline Network and certain natural gas production assets are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project”.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Liquidity
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have generated losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, and have an accumulated deficit. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues or other sources of liquidity that are sufficient to cover our future operating costs as they become due during the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements.
We are planning to generate proceeds from various potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, including our at-the-market program, equity-linked and debt securities or similar transactions, and have determined that it is probable that such proceeds will satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for at least twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate adequate proceeds to satisfy our obligations and accomplish our business objectives.
Use of Estimates
To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as issued by the FASB. This standard established the current expected credit loss model, a new impairment model for certain financial instruments, based on expected rather than incurred losses. Adoption of this standard had no impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 — PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
The components of prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Total property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 66,486 | | | $ | 153,040 | |
Land
We own land in Louisiana for the purpose of constructing the Driftwood Project.
Proved Properties Impairment
The carrying values of our proved natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the remaining carrying value may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2020, there were indicators that the carrying values of certain of our properties may be impaired as a result of depressed natural gas prices. We determined that these adverse market conditions represented a triggering event to perform an impairment assessment of our proved natural gas properties.
To determine whether impairment had occurred, we compared the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows from our natural gas properties to the carrying values of those properties. The estimated future cash flows used in the recoverability test are based on proved and, if determined reasonable by management, risk-adjusted probable and possible reserves and assumptions generally consistent with those used by us for internal planning and budgeting purposes. These include, among other things, the intended use of the asset, anticipated production from reserves, future market prices for natural gas adjusted for basis differentials, and future operating costs. Proved properties that have carrying amounts in excess of estimated future undiscounted cash flows are written down to fair value.
As of June 30, 2020, we recognized a total impairment charge of approximately $81.1 million primarily associated with our assets located in northern Louisiana. The impairment was recorded as a reduction to the assets’ carrying values to their estimated fair values of approximately $28.7 million. The estimated fair value of the impaired assets, as determined as of June 30, 2020, was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, as such, are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Key assumptions included in the calculation of the fair value included values for the following: (i) reserves; (ii) future commodity prices and (iii) future operating and development costs.
NOTE 4 — DEFERRED ENGINEERING COSTS
As of June 30, 2020, the deferred engineering balance of approximately $109.9 million represents detailed engineering services related to the planned construction of the Driftwood terminal. This balance will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching FID.

Other | 3,961 | | | 3,765 | |
Total other non-current assets | $ | 33,246 | | | $ | 36,755 | |
Land Lease and Purchase Options
We hold lease and purchase option agreements (the “Options”) for certain tracts of land and associated river frontage. Upon exercise of the Options, the leases are subject to maximum terms of 50 years, inclusive of various renewals which are at our sole discretion. Costs of the Options will be amortized over the life of the lease once obtained, or capitalized into the land if purchased.
Permitting Costs
Permitting costs primarily represent the purchase of wetland credits in connection with our permit application to the USACE in 2017 and 2018. These wetland credits will be applied to our permit in accordance with the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, which require us to mitigate the impact to Louisiana wetlands caused by the construction of the Driftwood Project. In May 2019, we received the USACE permit. The permitting costs will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching FID.
NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, as part of entering into the senior secured term loan credit agreement in 2018, we are required to enter into and maintain certain hedging transactions. As a result, we use derivative financial instruments, namely over the counter (“OTC”) commodity swap instruments (“commodity swaps”), to maintain compliance with this covenant. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Commodity swap agreements involve payments to or receipts from counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity, and include basis swaps to protect earnings from undue exposure to the risk of geographic disparities in commodity prices, as required by the negative covenant of the senior secured term loan credit agreement. The fair value of our commodity swaps is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including but not limited to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas forward curves and basis forward curves, all of which are validated against external sources at least monthly.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a net basis as they are with a single counterparty and subject to a master netting arrangement. The Company can net settle its derivative instruments at any time. As of June 30, 2020, we had a current asset of $1.9 million, net, with respect to the fair value of the current portion of our commodity swaps. The current asset is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gross current asset and current liability amounts as of June 30, 2020 are $2.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
We do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity swaps; therefore, all changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are recognized within Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a realized gain of $1.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, as well as an unrealized loss of $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of the commodity swaps in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivative contracts which result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be used or sold by the Company in the normal course of business are designated as normal purchases and sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. OTC arrangements require settlement in cash. Settlements of commodity derivative instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
With respect to the commodity swaps, the Company hedged 6.7 Bcf of its fixed price and basis exposure which represents a portion of its expected sales of equity production as of June 30, 2020. The open positions at June 30, 2020 had maturities extending through September 2021. For additional details, refer to Note 9, Borrowings.
NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
In conjunction with the dismissal of the litigation disclosed in Part I, Item 3, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we agreed to reimburse Martin Houston for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses he incurred during the litigation with Cheniere Energy, Inc. As of June 30, 2020, we have paid $2.5 million to third parties to settle outstanding amounts incurred by Mr. Houston for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. We estimate that we will pay an additional $2.6 million for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses which has been classified with Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have also agreed to reimburse Mr. Houston approximately $2.3 million for other expenses he incurred in connection with the lawsuit. This amount has been classified within Accounts payable due to related parties on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total accrued and other liabilities | $ | 41,195 | | | $ | 33,003 | |
Severance and Reorganization
We implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan (the “Reorganization Plan”) during the first quarter of 2020, and have incurred approximately $0.9 million and $6.4 million as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, of severance and reorganization charges due to reductions in workforce. The Reorganization Plan was implemented due to the sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices as well as the growing negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The charges are presented within the caption Severance and reorganization charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We expect to settle the remaining termination benefits by September 30, 2020. The severance and reorganization cash amounts provided to former employees have been settled and the remaining $1.9 million will be settled with the continued transfer of 1.6 million restricted stock units to former employees that may be settled, at our election, with either cash, stock or a combination thereof. We have settled $4.5 million of the severance and reorganization charges as of June 30, 2020.

The fair value of the Unsecured Warrant of approximately $16.1 million has been recognized as an original issue discount to the 2020 Unsecured Note. For more information about the Unsecured Warrant, see Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity.
The 2020 Unsecured Note contains certain cash sweep provisions requiring that a portion of the proceeds from certain of our equity offerings and convertible securities offerings be used to repay the outstanding principal balance through additional amortization payments not to exceed $8.0 million in total, subject to certain conditions. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information.
The lender may require us to repurchase the 2020 Unsecured Note upon a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2020 Unsecured Note) or an event of default at 105% and 115%, respectively, of the remaining outstanding principal balance. If an event of default occurs which cannot be cured within certain time periods, we have the right to pay cash, but to the extent that we do not pay in cash, the lender will have the right to convert the outstanding face amount into shares of our common stock based on a calculation defined in the 2020 Unsecured Note. We may prepay the 2020 Unsecured Note in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty.
2019 Term Loan
On May 23, 2019, Driftwood Holdings LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Driftwood Holdings”), entered into a senior secured term loan agreement (the “2019 Term Loan”) to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million. Fees associated with entering into the 2019 Term Loan of approximately $2.2 million have been capitalized as deferred

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
financing costs. The 2019 Term Loan agreement provided Driftwood Holdings the right to borrow an additional $15.0 million, which it did on July 16, 2019. The 2019 Term Loan bore a fixed annual interest rate of 12%, of which 4% Driftwood Holdings could add to the outstanding principal as paid-in-kind interest at the end of each reporting period. In addition to the fixed annual interest rate, upon maturity or early repayment of the 2019 Term Loan, Driftwood Holdings was also obligated to pay a final fee equal to 20% of the principal amount borrowed less financing costs and cash interest paid (the “Final Payment Fee”) to the lender. On February 28, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan which allowed us to enter into a land lease for the Driftwood Project. The First Amendment had no financial statement impact in regard to accounting for our Borrowings.
On March 23, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan. The outstanding principal balance as of the Second Amendment date was $75.0 million. The Second Amendment, among other things, made the following changes to the 2019 Term Loan:
•Extended the maturity date from May 23, 2020 to November 23, 2021;
•Modified the frequency of interest payments from quarterly to monthly;
•Modified the interest rate from 12% per annum, with the ability to defer 4% per annum as paid-in-kind, to 16% per annum, with the ability to defer 8% per annum as paid-in-kind;
•Required a principal payment of $3.0 million by April 22, 2020; and
•Reduced the required month-end collateral amount from $30.0 million to $12.0 million.
Upon entering into the Second Amendment, we repaid $2.0 million of the outstanding principal balance and issued 11,019,298 shares of our common stock in exchange for cancellation of the Final Payment Fee (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and all accrued paid-in-kind interest through March 22, 2020.
The Second Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification with no gain or loss recognized and any differences in fair value for amounts settled or paid being capitalized as part of the 2019 Term Loan debt issuance discount. The Second Amendment resulted in a $0.9 million increase in the debt issuance discount associated with the 2019 Term Loan.
Also, in conjunction with the Second Amendment, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Original Warrant”) previously issued as part of the 2019 Term Loan was replaced with a new warrant (the “Replacement Warrant”). The difference in fair value between the Original Warrant and the Replacement Warrant was an increase of approximately $0.3 million and has been recognized as a debt issuance discount to the 2019 Term Loan. Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, for further details.
On April 28, 2020, Driftwood Holdings entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the 2019 Term Loan, which became effective on April 29, 2020. In conjunction with the Third Amendment, we repaid $17.1 million of the outstanding principal balance. This principal repayment was made with the issuance of 9,348,706 shares of our common stock as well as a cash payment of $2.1 million.
In conjunction with the Third Amendment, we issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Third Amendment Warrant”) to the lender. The fair value of the Third Amendment Warrant of approximately $5.7 million has been recognized as an original issue discount to the 2019 Term Loan.
We may prepay the 2019 Term Loan in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the 2019 Term Loan are guaranteed by Tellurian Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Tellurian Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, other than Tellurian Production Holdings LLC (“Production Holdings”) and its subsidiaries, under one or more security agreements and pledge agreements.
2018 Term Loan
On September 28, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Production Holdings entered into a three-year senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “2018 Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million.
Our use of proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan is predominantly restricted to capital expenditures associated with certain development and drilling activities and fees related to the transaction itself and is presented within Non-current restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2020, unused proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan totaled $3.5 million and were classified as Non-current restricted cash.
We have the right, but not the obligation, to make voluntary principal repayments starting six months following the Closing Date in a minimum amount of $5 million or any integral multiples of $1 million in excess thereof. If no voluntary principal repayments are made, the principal amount, together with any accrued interest, is payable at the maturity date of September 28, 2021. The 2018 Term Loan can be terminated without penalty, with an early termination payment equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries

Amounts borrowed under the 2018 Term Loan are guaranteed by Tellurian Inc. and each of Production Holdings’ subsidiaries. The 2018 Term Loan is collateralized by a first priority lien on all assets of Production Holdings and its subsidiaries, including our proved natural gas properties.
Covenant Compliance
As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit agreements. Refer to Note 6, Financial Instruments, for details of hedging transactions, as of and for the period ended June 30, 2020, entered into as required by the 2018 Term Loan described above.
Fair Value
As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2020 Unsecured Note, on a discounted cash flow basis, was approximately $50.0 million as the 2020 Unsecured Note effective interest rate was higher than current market levels. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2019 Term Loan, on a discounted cash flow basis, was approximately $55.6 million as the 2019 Term Loan effective interest rate was higher than current market levels. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2018 Term Loan, on a discounted cash flow basis, was approximately $56.2 million as the 2018 Term Loan effective interest rate was higher than current market levels. The 2020 Unsecured Note, 2019 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan represent Level 3 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On April 23, 2019, we entered into a master LNG sale and purchase agreement and related confirmation notices (collectively, the “SPA”) with an unrelated third-party LNG merchant. Pursuant to the SPA, we committed to purchase one cargo of LNG per quarter through October 2022. The volume of each cargo is expected to range from 3.3 to 3.6 million MMBtu, and each cargo will be purchased under DES terms. The price of each cargo will be based on the JKM price in effect at the time of each purchase.
NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Issuance
On February 11, 2020, we sold 2,114,591 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering at a price of $6.36 per share. Net proceeds from this offering, after deducting fees and expenses, were approximately $13.1 million.
At-the-Market Program
We maintain an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock from time to time on Nasdaq. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 17,512,604 shares of our common stock under our at-the-market program for net proceeds of approximately $22.9 million. As of June 30, 2020, we have remaining availability under the at-the-market program to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to approximately $365.7 million. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
2020 Unsecured Note
As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, on April 29, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”), in conjunction with the issuance of the 2020 Unsecured Note, we issued a warrant providing the lender with the right to purchase up to 20.0 million shares of our common stock at $1.542 per share. The Unsecured Warrant, which vested on the Issuance Date, may not be exercised until October 29, 2020 and will expire five years after it becomes exercisable. The Unsecured Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a relative fair value of approximately $16.1 million on the Issuance Date and is not subject to subsequent remeasurement. The Unsecured Warrant has been classified as equity and is recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2019 Term Loan
As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, we have entered into three amendments to the 2019 Term Loan. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we replaced the previously issued Original Warrant, which provided the lender with the right to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share with the Replacement Warrant, which provides the lender with the right to purchase 9.0 million shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, we issued the Third Amendment Warrant which provides the lender with the right to purchase approximately 4.7 million shares of our common stock at $1.542 per share. The Third Amendment Warrant expires five years after the date of the Third Amendment. Half of the Third Amendment Warrant vested immediately, but may not be exercised until October 29, 2020, and the remaining half will vest, and become exercisable, on October 29, 2020.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The aggregate number of unvested shares of our common stock provided to the lender under the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant will be reduced proportionately as a result of any partial repayment of the 2019 Term Loan principal and, in the event the outstanding balance of the 2019 Term Loan is repaid in full, any unvested tranches will be canceled as of the date of such repayment. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate number of unvested shares of our common stock provided to the lender under the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant has been reduced by 0.2 million shares due to partial repayments of the outstanding principal balance.
The Replacement Warrant expires five years after the date of the Second Amendment and vests as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
Vesting | | Number of Shares |
Immediately | | 3,000 | |
September 23, 2020 | | 1,924 | |
March 23, 2021 | | 1,924 | |
June 23, 2021 | | 1,924 | |
Total | | 8,772 | |
The Replacement Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a fair value of approximately $3.6 million on the date of the Second Amendment. The difference between the fair values of the Original Warrant and the Replacement Warrant was an increase of approximately $0.3 million and has been classified as equity and recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, as the total amount of warrants is no longer fixed, approximately $2.4 million has been recognized within Accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be remeasured every period end until it vests. If the vesting event occurs, the applicable portion of the liability will be reclassified to equity and remeasured on said vesting date.
The Third Amendment Warrant was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that resulted in a fair value of approximately $5.7 million on the date of the Third Amendment. As only half of the Third Amendment Warrant has vested, and is therefore fixed, approximately $2.9 million has been classified as equity and recognized within Additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining approximately $2.8 million does not meet the fixed for fixed criteria for equity classification, and has been recognized within Accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be remeasured every period end unit it vests. If the vesting event occurs, a portion of the liability will be reclassified to equity and remeasured on said vesting date.
As of June 30, 2020, we have recognized an unrealized loss of approximately $2.0 million within Other income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement due to the remeasurement of the unvested portion of the Replacement Warrant and the Third Amendment Warrant.
Preferred Stock
In March 2018, we entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with BDC Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC (“Bechtel Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bechtel”), pursuant to which we sold to Bechtel Holdings approximately 6.1 million shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have dividend rights but do have a liquidation preference over holders of our common stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time after “Substantial Completion” of “Project 1,” each as defined in and pursuant to the LSTK EPC Agreement for the Driftwood LNG Phase 1 Liquefaction Facility, dated as of November 10, 2017, or at any time after March 21, 2028, we have the right to cause all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Preferred Stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
NOTE 12 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have granted restricted stock, restricted stock units and phantom units (collectively, “Restricted Stock”), as well as unrestricted stock and stock options, to employees, directors and outside consultants (collectively, the “grantees”) under the Tellurian Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Tellurian Investments Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Tellurian common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan is 40 million shares of common stock, and no further awards can be granted under the Legacy Plan.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Upon the vesting of restricted stock, shares of common stock will be released to the grantee. Upon the vesting of restricted stock units, the units will be converted into shares of common stock and released to the grantee. In March 2018, we began issuing phantom units that may be settled in either cash, stock, or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2020, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.
As of June 30, 2020, we had granted approximately 24.8 million shares of performance-based Restricted Stock, of which approximately 19.4 million shares will vest entirely based upon FID, as defined in the award agreements, and approximately 4.8 million shares will vest in one-third increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID. The remaining shares of performance-based Restricted Stock, totaling approximately 0.6 million shares, will vest based on other criteria. As of June 30, 2020, no expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.
As of June 30, 2020, we had granted approximately 12.2 million shares of time-based Restricted Stock. Of the total time-based grants, approximately 9.9 million shares have not yet vested and represent the settlement of the 2019 employee bonuses, which were included in our accrued liabilities balance as of December 31, 2019, and will vest in their entirety by May 31, 2021. The majority of the remaining shares were granted in connection with the Reorganization Plan we undertook and approximately 1.6 million have not yet vested and will vest in their entirety by September 30, 2020. For further information about the Reorganization Plan, see Note 8, Accrued and Other Liabilities.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the recognized share-based compensation expense related to all share-based awards totaled approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $193.4 million. Further, the approximately 37.0 million shares of performance-based and time-based Restricted Stock, as well as approximately 1.4 million stock options outstanding, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES
Due to our cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
We experienced ownership changes as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in 2017, and an analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of our NOLs was performed at that time. It was determined that IRC Section 382 will not limit the use of our NOLs over the carryover period. We will continue to monitor trading activity in our shares that may cause an additional ownership change, which may ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.
NOTE 14 — LEASES
Finance Leases
Our land leases are classified as financing leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term up to 40 years, as well as to terminate the lease within five years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, and that our termination rights will not be exercised, and we have therefore included those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2020, our weighted-average remaining lease term for our financing leases was approximately fifty-one years. As none of our finance leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at June 30, 2020, was approximately 13%.
As of June 30, 2020, our financing leases had a corresponding right of use asset of approximately $20.2 million recognized within Property, plant and equipment, net, and a total lease liability of approximately $13.5 million which is recognized in Other non-current liabilities, approximately $13.5 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our finance lease costs, which are associated with the interest on our lease liabilities, were approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid approximately $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in cash for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities, all of which are presented within the finance section of our cash flows.
Operating Leases
Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right of use assets and lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2020, our weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was approximately six years. As none of our operating leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at June 30, 2020, was approximately 8%.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
As of June 30, 2020, our operating leases had a corresponding right of use asset of approximately $12.7 million recognized within Other non-current assets and a total lease liability of approximately $14.6 million which is recognized between Accrued and other liabilities, approximately $1.9 million, and Other non-current liabilities, approximately $12.7 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our operating lease costs were $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and $1.4 million, and $1.4 million, respectively, in cash for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities, all of which are presented within operating cash flows.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Equity Offering
On July 24, 2020, we completed a registered direct offering pursuant to which we sold 35,000,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $1.00 per share. Net proceeds from this transaction were approximately $32.5 million.
2020 Unsecured Note
As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, the 2020 Unsecured Note is subject to certain cash sweep provisions. Due to the amount of proceeds generated from the sale of our common stock under our at-the-market program in June, as well as the equity offering completed on July 24, 2020, these cash sweep provisions were triggered on July 1, 2020 and August 3, 2020 requiring us to make a total of $8.0 million in additional repayments of the outstanding principal balance. As a result of these additional repayments, the final pa
