Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective October 4, 2022, Excelerate Vessel Company Limited Partnership, a Marshall Islands limited liability company (“EE Vessel Co.”), a subsidiary of Excelerate Energy Limited Partnership (“EELP”), the entity through which Excelerate Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) conducts its business, entered into a Shipbuilding Contract (the “Agreement”) with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Korea (the “Builder”). The Agreement provides for the Builder to construct one new 170,000 CBM LNG Floating Storage Regasification Unit (the “FSRU”) for a cost subject to adjustment and currently expected to be approximately US$330 million. Payment is due in five installments with the final installment due concurrently with the delivery of the vessel. The Builder is obligated to provide a refund guarantee to EE Vessel Co. to secure the refund of the purchase price installments prior to the delivery of the FSRU, if EE Vessel Co. becomes entitled to the same as a result of Builder default or other defined circumstances.

The Builder is required to deliver the FSRU on or before June 30, 2026. The risk of loss or damage to the FSRU remains with the Builder until the FSRU is delivered and accepted by EE Vessel Co. The Agreement provides for customary warranties of the Builder related to the FSRU’s design, construction, materials, and workmanship, and provisions addressing potential delay in delivery of the FSRU and remedies in the event of default by either party. Together with the Agreement, EELP has provided a guaranty of EE Vessel Co.’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

The forgoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
