Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies

The Company may be involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including governmental and administrative investigations, inquiries and proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental and other claims. The Company will recognize a loss contingency in the consolidated financial statements when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will disclose any loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized.

Venture Global SPA

In February 2023, we executed a 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement with Venture Global LNG (the “Venture Global SPA”). Under the Venture Global SPA, Excelerate will purchase 0.7 MT per annum of LNG on a free-on-board basis from the Plaquemines LNG facility in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Our purchase commitment will be based on the final settlement price of monthly Henry Hub natural gas futures contracts plus a contractual spread. Using Henry Hub natural gas futures pricing as of December 31, 2023, our average annual commitment is estimated to be approximately $249.0 million. The start of this commitment, however, is dependent on the LNG facility becoming operational, which is not expected in the next twelve months.
