September __, 2024
—AN URGENT MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS—
Dear Shareholder:
The special meeting of the shareholders of Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian”) to be held on October 3, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”) at which shareholders will consider matters relating to the merger pursuant to which a subsidiary of Woodside Energy Group Ltd will acquire all the outstanding shares of Tellurian (the “Merger”) is fast approaching. Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR all proposals on the agenda, including the Merger. Because failing to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Merger, your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own.
Upon completion of the Merger, you will be entitled to receive $1.00 in cash, without interest, and subject to deduction for any required tax withholding, for each share of Tellurian common stock that you own, representing (i) an approximately 75% premium to the $0.57 closing share price of Tellurian common stock on July 19, 2024, the last full trading day prior to the announcement of the Merger, and (ii) an approximately 48% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average closing share price of Tellurian common stock through that same date.
We urge you to cast your vote TODAY. To ensure that your vote is received in time, we encourage you to vote electronically--by telephone or via the Internet--by following the simple instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form. If you have received this letter by email, you may simply click the VOTE NOW button in the accompanying email.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
Tellurian, the members of Tellurian’s board of directors and certain of Tellurian’s executive officers are participants in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders in connection with the Merger. Tellurian filed a proxy statement (the “Transaction Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 27, 2024 in connection with the solicitation of proxies to approve the Merger at the Special Meeting to be held on October 3, 2024. Information regarding such participants, including their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is included in the Transaction Proxy Statement. To the extent that holdings of Tellurian’s securities by its directors and executive officers have changed since the amounts set forth in the Transaction Proxy Statement, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC.
On or about September 3, 2024, 2024, Tellurian mailed the definitive Transaction Proxy Statement to each stockholder entitled to vote at the Special Meeting to consider the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 21, 2024, by and among Woodside Energy Holdings (NA) LLC, Tellurian, and Woodside Energy (Transitory) Inc. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE TRANSACTION PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT TELLURIAN HAS FILED OR WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Stockholders may obtain, free of charge, the Transaction Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by Tellurian with the SEC in connection with the Merger at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of Tellurian’s definitive Transaction Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by Tellurian with the SEC in connection with the Merger will also be available, free of charge, at Tellurian’s investor relations website (https://tellurianinc.com).
