#### NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT AND INFORMATION STATEMENT

#### WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
December 31, 2025

Dear Stockholder:

This notice of action by written consent and the accompanying information statement (the "Information Statement") is being furnished by the Board of Directors (the "BKV Board") of BKV Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("BKV," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), to the holders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2025 (the "Record Date") of the outstanding shares of BKV common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform BKV's stockholders that Banpu North America Corporation ("BNAC"), holder of approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock, acted by written consent (the "Written Consent") in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders effective as of November 4, 2025. The Written Consent approved the Company Stock Issuance (as defined below) to Banpu Power US Corporation ("BPPUS").

On October 29, 2025, BKV entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of BKV-BPP Power, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Power JV"), currently held by BPPUS upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the "Transaction"). Upon the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), the Power JV will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS.

The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing (the "Purchase Price"), which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock (the "Company Stock Issuance"). As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by $21.6609, which is the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading-day period ended October 28, 2025 (the "Closing Reference Price"). We plan to fund the cash consideration for the Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and the net proceeds from our recently completed underwritten public equity offering of 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Equity Offering"). We received net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $170.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

We were required to obtain stockholder approval of the Company Stock Issuance to ensure compliance with Section 312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Listed Company Manual, which requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or of securities convertible into Common Stock, where such securities are issued as consideration in a transaction or series of related transactions in which a director, officer or "substantial security holder" of BKV has a five percent or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in BKV or assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in a transaction or series of related transactions and the present issuance of Common Stock, or the number of shares of Common Stock into which the securities may be converted, could result in an issuance that exceeds either five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock or five percent of the voting power outstanding before such issuance. Because (i) BKV expects that the shares of Common Stock to be issued to BPPUS pursuant to

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the Company Stock Issuance will exceed five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance; (ii) BPPUS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banpu Power Public Company Limited ("BPP"), which is a subsidiary of Banpu Public Company Limited ("Banpu"), and Banpu is the ultimate parent company of both BKV and BNAC; and (iii) BNAC is a substantial security holder of BKV holding more than a five percent interest in BKV, the Written Consent was obtained to approve the consummation of the Company Stock Issuance.

This notice of action by Written Consent and the accompanying Information Statement are being furnished to you to inform you that the Company Stock Issuance has been approved by the holders of outstanding Common Stock having not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, BKV's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our "Certificate of Incorporation") and Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. BKV is not soliciting your consent or proxy in connection with the Company Stock Issuance and no consents or proxies are requested from stockholders. We expect to consummate the Company Stock Issuance concurrently with the Closing in the first quarter of 2026. However, there can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed at all, or if completed, that it will be completed by such time.

You are urged to read the Information Statement in its entirety for a description of the action taken by the holders of a majority of our Common Stock.

 **PLEASE NOTE THAT BNAC HAS VOTED TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE COMPANY STOCK ISSUANCE. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY BNAC IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT UNDER THE DGCL AND NYSE SECTION 312.03 FOR THE COMPANY STOCK ISSUANCE. CONSEQUENTLY, NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THE COMPANY STOCK ISSUANCE.** 

Under the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (our "Bylaws"), our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the Company Stock Issuance or the Transaction.

 **THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING FURNISHED TO YOU SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMING STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN PURSUANT TO SECTION 14C OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECTION 228 OF THE DGCL.** 

The Information Statement accompanying this letter provides you with more specific information concerning the Company Stock Issuance, the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. We encourage you to carefully read this Information Statement, the documents incorporated by reference in the Information Statement and the copy of the Purchase Agreement included as Annex A to the Information Statement. You may also obtain additional information about the Company from documents the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

By Order of the BKV Board of Directors

### BKV Corporation

#### 1200 17th St., Ste 2100 Denver, CO, 80202

#### INFORMATION STATEMENT
This information statement (the "Information Statement") is being furnished by the Board of Directors (the "BKV Board") of BKV Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("BKV," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), to the holders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2025 (the "Record Date") of the outstanding shares of BKV common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform BKV's stockholders that Banpu North America Corporation ("BNAC"), holder of approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock, acted by written consent (the "Written Consent") in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders effective as of November 4, 2025. The Written Consent approved the Company Stock Issuance (as defined below) to Banpu Power US Corporation ("BPPUS").

On October 29, 2025, BKV entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of BKV-BPP Power, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Power JV"), currently held by BPPUS upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the "Transaction"). Upon the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), the Power JV will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS.

The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing (the "Purchase Price"), which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock (the "Company Stock Issuance"). As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by $21.6609, which is the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading-day period ended October 28, 2025 (the "Closing Reference Price"). We plan to fund the cash consideration for the Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and the net proceeds from our recently completed underwritten public equity offering of 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Equity Offering"). We received net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $170.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

The Written Consent constitutes the consent of a majority of outstanding shares of our Common Stock and is sufficient under the DGCL, BKV's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our "Certificate of Incorporation") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Listed Company Manual to approve the Company Stock Issuance. Accordingly, the Company Stock Issuance will not be submitted to the other stockholders of BKV for a vote, and this Information Statement is being furnished to such other stockholders to provide them with certain information concerning the Company Stock Issuance in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

 **THE ACCOMPANYING MATERIAL IS BEING PROVIDED TO YOU FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.**

#### The Parties to the Transaction
BKV is a forward thinking, growth driven energy company focused on creating value for our stockholders through the organic development of our properties as well as accretive acquisitions. Our core business is to produce natural gas from our owned and operated upstream businesses, which are supported by our four business lines: natural gas production; natural gas gathering, processing and transportation (our "natural gas midstream business"); power generation; and carbon capture, utilization and sequestration ("CCUS"). We expect our owned and operated upstream and natural gas midstream businesses to achieve net zero scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by the early 2030s, and net zero scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by the late 2030s. We maintain a "closed-loop" approach to our net zero emissions goal through the operation of our four business lines. We are committed to vertically integrating portions of our business to reduce costs and improve overall commercial optimization of the full value chain. Our strategy is to create value for our stockholders by managing and growing our integrated asset base and focusing on our net zero objectives. BKV was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2020. We completed our initial public offering on September 27, 2024. BKV's Common Stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "BKV." Our principal executive offices are located at 1200 17th St., Ste 2100, Denver, CO, 80202 and our telephone number is (720) 375-9680.

The Temple Plants have baseload design heat rates of approximately 6,904 Btu/kWh and 6,950 Btu/kWh, respectively, which are below the ERCOT Combined Cycle Gas Turbines ("CCGT") average. The modern technology utilized at the Temple Plants enables them to respond to rapidly changing market signals in real time, ensuring the highest operational readiness during the time when electricity consumption peaks (in winter and summer), making the power plants well-suited to serve the various needs of the ERCOT market.

#### The Transaction
On October 29, 2025, BKV entered into the Purchase Agreement with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of the Power JV currently held by BPPUS upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Upon Closing, the Power JV will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS.

#### BKV Special Committee
On August 19, 2025, the BKV Board formed a special committee consisting of independent and disinterested directors (the "BKV Special Committee") and delegated to the BKV Special Committee the authority to, among other things, (i) determine whether to pursue a potential transaction to acquire equity interests in the Power JV from BPPUS; (ii) consider, evaluate, review, communicate and negotiate (or oversee the communications or negotiations) with respect to, or reject, the terms and conditions of such a potential transaction; and (iii) determine whether to recommend to the BKV Board the rejection or approval of such a potential transaction. The BKV Board also resolved not to approve or authorize such a potential transaction without a prior favorable recommendation of such action by the BKV Special Committee. The BKV Special Committee unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement, the A&R LLCA (as defined below), the Amended ASA (as defined below), the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and the BPP Letter Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") and the transactions contemplated thereby. Based on the recommendation of the BKV Special Committee, the BKV Board approved the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, approved the Company Stock Issuance, and recommended that BNAC vote in favor of the Company Stock Issuance by means of the Written Consent. The BKV Special Committee was advised by independent legal counsel and an independent financial advisor. For more information, see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Transaction" beginning on page [16](#tTHTR1).

#### Opinion of Financial Advisor to the BKV Special Committee

At the meeting of the BKV Special Committee on October 28, 2025 to evaluate and approve the Transaction, the BKV Special Committee received an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated October 28, 2025, from Moelis as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Purchase Price TEV (as defined below) to be paid by the Company. **The full text of Moelis' written opinion, dated October 28, 2025, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this Information Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis' opinion was provided for the use of the BKV Special Committee**

 **(solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Purchase Price TEV. Moelis' opinion is limited solely to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Purchase Price TEV to be paid by the Company and does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to the Company. Moelis' opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.** 

#### Approval of the Company Stock Issuance and the Transaction
 *BNAC Written Consent Approving the Company Stock Issuance* 

Effective November 4, 2025, BNAC delivered to BKV the Written Consent approving the Company Stock Issuance. As of November 4, 2025, BNAC held approximately 71% of the total outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, the approval of the Company Stock Issuance was effected in accordance with the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation, and the NYSE Listed Company Manual. No further approval of the BKV stockholders is required to approve the Company Stock Issuance. As a result, BKV has not solicited and will not be soliciting your vote for the approval of the Company Stock Issuance and does not intend to call a meeting of stockholders for purposes of voting on the approval of the Company Stock Issuance. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Written Consent will be of no further force and effect.

 *BPP Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders to Approve the Transaction* 

As parent company of BPPUS, BPP has agreed to (i) prepare and deliver notice of an extraordinary general meeting (the "BPP EGM") of its stockholders ("BPP Stockholders") in accordance with applicable Thai law and (ii) call, hold and convene the BPP EGM to consider and vote upon the Transaction. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SET, adoption and approval of the Transaction requires the affirmative vote of BPP Stockholders holding not less than 75% of the total votes of the BPP Stockholders attending the BPP EGM and having the right to vote, excluding the interested stockholders as required by Thai law ("BPP Stockholder Approval"). Banpu and BPP have announced a planned amalgamation, ahead of which Banpu conducted a tender offer process to obtain outstanding shares of BPP not already held by Banpu. Following the expiration of the tender offer period on December 23, 2025, Banpu announced that 378,460,106 shares of BPP would be acquired from stockholders of BPP who accepted the tender offer, and BPP reported that, upon the acquisition of such tendered shares and based on the total number of shares of BPP outstanding as of December 26, 2025, it is expected that approximately 8.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of BPP will not be held by Banpu. The reduction of outstanding shares not already held by Banpu may make the BPP Stockholder Approval more difficult to obtain. The BPP EGM is currently scheduled for January 2026. For more information, see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Transaction — *Approval of the Company Stock Issuance and the Transaction*" beginning on page [29](#tAOTC1).

#### General Effect on Rights of Existing Security Holders
The Company Stock Issuance will dilute the ownership and voting interests of BKV's existing stockholders. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock through the Company Stock Issuance. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. Based upon the net indebtedness of the Power JV as of September 30, 2025, approximately 5,309,105 shares of Common Stock would be issued to BPPUS at the Closing (assuming Closing Date (as defined below) indebtedness would be the same as at September 30, 2025). The ownership and voting interests of BKV's existing stockholders will be proportionally reduced by such amount. For more information, see the section of this Information Statement entitled "Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Transaction — *The Company Stock Issuance will dilute the percentage ownership interests of BKV's stockholders other than Banpu*" on page [12](#ttcsi1).

#### Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
Certain of BKV's directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of BKV's stockholders generally. These interests may present actual or potential conflicts of interest, and you should be aware of these interests. The members of the BKV Board and the BKV Special Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Transaction and deem the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and related agreements to be fair to, and in the best interests of, BKV and our stockholders. For more information, see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Transaction — *Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon*" beginning on page [30](#tIOCP1).

#### Accounting Treatment of the Transaction
Banpu indirectly holds the controlling financial interests in both BKV and BPPUS. As a result, the Transaction will be accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues, transfers of net assets between entities under common control are accounted for at the historical carrying values of the transferring entity as of the date of transfer, and no gain or loss is recognized. Therefore, in connection with the Transaction, BKV will recognize the difference between the consideration transferred and the historical carrying value of the net assets received as an adjustment to noncontrolling interest within equity. In addition, the Transaction will require BKV to retrospectively recast its financial statements to include the historical results of the Power JV for all periods during which BKV and the Power JV were under common control. As a result of the Transaction, BKV will be considered the primary beneficiary of the Power JV and will consolidate the Power JV's financials statements in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.

#### Conditions to the Transaction and Company Stock Issuance
Completion of the Transaction and, as a result, the Company Stock Issuance, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or prior to the Closing of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the BPP Stockholder Approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the absence of legal restraints preventing the consummation of the Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement (subject to certain qualifications);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the performance by the parties and BPP of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the BPP Letter Agreement, as applicable, in all material respects, including the entry by BKV and BPPUS into the A&R LLCA and the Registration Rights Agreement, and that BKV and the Power JV enter into the Amended ASA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • continued effectiveness of the Written Consent in accordance with its terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the mailing of this Information Statement by BKV at least twenty (20) business days prior to the Closing.

For more information, please see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Purchase Agreement — *Conditions to Completion of the Transaction and Company Stock Issuance"* beginning on page [38](#tCTCO).

#### Termination
The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including (i) the right of BKV to terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event of any material breach by BPPUS of the Purchase Agreement or by BPP of the BPP Letter Agreement, (ii) the right of BPPUS to terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event of any material breach by BKV of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) the right of either party to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Transaction has not been consummated before June 30, 2026.

information, please see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Purchase Agreement — *Termination of the Purchase Agreement*" beginning on page [38](#tTOTP).

#### Regulatory Approvals
Under Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") regulations, an entity holding private radio licenses for internal communications purposes generally must obtain the approval of the FCC before the direct or indirect transfer of control or assignment of those licenses. One or more subsidiaries of the Power JV holds an FCC license for private internal communications and, thus, must obtain prior FCC approval to assign or transfer indirect control of that license. The Company believes the parties will be able to obtain the required FCC approval.

#### BPP Letter Agreement
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, on October 29, 2025, BPP, BPPUS and BKV entered into a Letter Agreement (the "BPP Letter Agreement") whereby BPP agreed to (i) prepare and deliver notice of the BPP EGM in accordance with applicable Thai law and (ii) call, hold and convene the BPP EGM to consider and vote upon the Transaction. For further information see, "The Transaction — *BPP Letter Agreement*" beginning on page [32](#tBLA1).

#### Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement
At Closing, BKV and BPPUS will enter into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement governing the Power JV (the "A&R LLCA") to, among other things, (i) expand the purpose and powers of the Power JV to pursue additional strategic initiatives, (ii) provide that BKV will be entitled to appoint a majority of the board of managers (the "Power JV Board") of the Power JV, (iii) delegate the authority and responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business of the Power JV to BKV and (iv) provide BKV with the ability to unilaterally cause the Power JV to make strategic acquisitions or investments in new power generation assets, make capital expenditures for new development projects and enter into new joint venture or joint development projects with one or more third parties for new power generation opportunities. For further information see, "The Transaction — *Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement*" beginning on page [32](#tAARL1). A copy of the Form of A&R LLCA is also included as Annex C to this Information Statement.

#### Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Closing, BKV will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with BPPUS (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, BKV has agreed to, among other things, (i) provide BPPUS with certain Form S-3 demand and piggyback registration rights for our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company Stock Issuance, subject to customary cutbacks, lock-up periods, blackout periods and other limitations, (ii) pay certain registration expenses and (iii) provide BPPUS with customary indemnification rights. For further information see, "The Transaction — *Registration Rights Agreement"* beginning on page [34](#tRRA1).

#### Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement
In connection with Closing, BKV and the Power JV will enter into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, to be effective as of January 1, 2026 (the "Amended ASA"). The Amended ASA further amends the existing Administrative Services Agreement, entered into on December 1, 2021, and as amended from time to time to, among other things, expand the scope of services to be provided by BKV to the Power JV and to increase the fees paid to BKV by the Power JV thereunder. The Amended ASA term will automatically renew and extend for successive one-year periods until the Amended ASA is terminated pursuant to the terms therein. For further information see, "The Transaction — *Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement"* beginning on page [34](#tAARA1).

#### No Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights
Under the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (our "Bylaws"), our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the Company Stock Issuance or the Transaction.

#### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE TRANSACTION

#### Q:

#### Why am I being sent this Information Statement?
**A:**

This Information Statement is being furnished to you pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the DGCL to notify you of a corporate action taken by holders of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock pursuant to a Written Consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders. The action taken was to approve the Company Stock Issuance. We are making this Information Statement available to you on or about December 31, 2025. The Company is not soliciting your proxy or consent and you are not being asked to take any action in connection with this Information Statement.

#### Q:

#### Who is entitled to notice?
**A:**

Each holder of record of outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of the close of business on November 4, 2025, the Record Date, other than BNAC, is entitled to notice of the action taken pursuant to the Written Consent.

#### Q:

#### Why did the Company seek stockholder approval?
**A:**

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE. We were required to obtain stockholder approval of the Company Stock Issuance to ensure compliance with Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock where (1) such securities are issued as consideration in a transaction or series of related transactions in which a director, officer or "substantial security holder" of BKV has a five percent or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in BKV or assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in a transaction or series of related transactions and (2) the issuance of Common Stock could result in an issuance that exceeds either five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock or five percent of the voting power outstanding before such issuance. Because (i) BKV expects the shares of Common Stock to be issued to BPPUS pursuant to the Company Stock Issuance will exceed five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance, (ii) BPPUS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BPP, which is a subsidiary of Banpu, and Banpu is the ultimate parent company of both BKV and BNAC, and (iii) BNAC is a substantial security holder of BKV holding a more than five percent interest in BKV, the Written Consent was obtained to approve the consummation of the Company Stock Issuance.

#### Q:

#### What is the Company Stock Issuance?
**A:**

The Company Stock Issuance is the proposed issuance by BKV of a certain number of shares of our Common Stock to BPPUS. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock through the Company Stock Issuance. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. Based upon the net indebtedness of the Power JV as of September 30, 2025, approximately 5,309,105 shares of Common Stock would be issued to BPPUS at the Closing (assuming Closing Date indebtedness would be the same as at September 30, 2025).

#### Q:

#### What is the proposed Transaction?
**A:**

BKV intends to acquire one-half of the membership interests in the Power JV currently held by BPPUS such that, immediately following the Closing, the membership interests in the Power JV would be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS.

#### Q:

#### Do I need to consent or submit a proxy in relation to the Company Stock Issuance?
**A:**

No. BKV is not soliciting your consent or proxy in connection with the Company Stock Issuance and no consents or proxies are requested from stockholders.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Q:

#### Am I entitled to appraisal rights?
**A:**

No. Under the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the Company Stock Issuance or the Transaction.

#### Q:

#### When do you expect the Transaction and Company Stock Issuance to be completed?
**A:**

BKV anticipates that the Transaction will close and the Company Stock Issuance will be completed during the first quarter of 2026. However, there can be no assurances that the Transaction will be completed at all, or if completed, that it will be completed by such time. In order to complete the Transaction, BPP must obtain the requisite approval of its disinterested stockholders, and a number of other closing conditions under the Purchase Agreement must be satisfied or waived. See "The Purchase Agreement — *Conditions to Completion of the Transaction.*"

#### Q:

#### What is Householding?
**A:**

BKV has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called "householding." As permitted under the Exchange Act, in those instances where we are mailing a printed copy of this Information Statement, only one copy of this Information Statement is being delivered to stockholders that reside at the same address and share the same last name, unless such stockholders have notified BKV of their desire to receive multiple copies of this Information Statement. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs as well as natural resources.

BKV will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request and without charge, a separate copy of this Information Statement to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed to the address or telephone number below. Stockholders residing at the same address and currently receiving multiple copies of this Information Statement may contact BKV at the address or telephone number below to request that only a single copy of an Information Statement be mailed in the future.

#### RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Information Statement, including the risk factors contained in BKV's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, you should carefully review the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this Information Statement. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to BKV, or that are not currently believed to be important to you, if they materialize, may also adversely affect the Company Stock Issuance, the Transaction or BKV. See the section of this Information Statement entitled *"*Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on page [46](#tWYCF) for the location of information incorporated by reference into this Information Statement.

#### Risks Related to the Transaction

#### The Transaction is a related party transaction, which may create actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
The Transaction is considered a "Related Party" transaction pursuant to Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. BPPUS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BPP, which is a subsidiary of Banpu, and Banpu is the ultimate parent company of both BKV and BKV's majority stockholder, BNAC. Although BKV's Board implemented procedural safeguards, including the formation of the BKV Special Committee consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors, these overlapping relationships may create the perception that the Transaction was not negotiated at arm's length. Such perceptions could lead to negative stockholder sentiment, potential claims, or increased regulatory scrutiny.

 ***The consummation of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions that may not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis or at all, including the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the disinterested stockholders of BPP represented at the BPP EGM, and there can be no assurance as to when or if the Transaction will be completed.***

Although we expect to complete the Transaction in the first quarter of 2026, there can be no assurances as to the timing of the Closing or that the Transaction will be completed at all. The consummation of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, including the BPP Stockholder Approval. Some conditions, including the BPP Stockholder Approval, are beyond our control. Banpu and BPP have announced a planned amalgamation which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. Ahead of that transaction, Banpu conducted a tender offer process in December 2025 to acquire outstanding shares of BPP not already held by Banpu. Following the expiration of the tender offer period on December 23, 2025, Banpu announced that 378,460,106 shares of BPP would be acquired from stockholders of BPP who accepted the tender offer, and BPP reported that, upon the acquisition of such tendered shares and based on the total number of shares of BPP outstanding as of December 26, 2025, it is expected that approximately 8.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of BPP will not be held by Banpu. The reduction of outstanding shares not already held by Banpu may make the BPP Stockholder Approval more difficult to obtain.

The potential that any condition fails to be satisfied or waived in a timely manner, or at all, makes the completion and timing of the Transaction uncertain. In addition, the Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both parties, which if exercised will also result in the Transaction not being consummated. Any such termination or any failure to otherwise complete the Transaction could result in various consequences, including, among others: our business being adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the time and resources committed by our management to the Transaction, without realizing any of the benefits of completing the Transaction; being required to pay our legal, accounting and other expenses relating to the Transaction; the market price of our Common Stock being adversely impacted to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Transaction will be completed; and negative reactions from the financial markets and customers that may occur if the anticipated benefits of the Transaction are not realized. Such consequences could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For a more complete summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the completion of the Transaction, see "The Purchase Agreement — *Conditions to Complete the Transaction*."

#### We will incur significant Transaction and Transaction-related costs in connection with the Transaction.
We have incurred, and expect to incur additional, significant costs associated with the Transaction. Our fees and expenses related to the Transaction include financial advisor fees, filing fees, taxes and legal and accounting fees. Some of these fees will be paid regardless of whether the Transaction is consummated. Following the Closing, we expect to consolidate the financial statements of the Power JV with those of BKV. In addition, we expect that with our increased ownership of the Power JV, certain expenses related to operating the Power JV will increase. It is difficult to predict the total amount of costs related to the Transaction and the increased ownership of the Power JV following the Closing. Such costs may be significant and could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

#### The Company Stock Issuance will dilute the percentage ownership interests of BKV's stockholders other than Banpu.
If the Transaction is consummated, BKV expects to issue Common Stock to BPPUS through the Company Stock Issuance. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock through the Company Stock Issuance. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. Based upon the net indebtedness of the Power JV as of September 30, 2025, approximately 5,309,105 shares of Common Stock would be issued to BPPUS at the Closing (assuming Closing Date indebtedness would be the same as at September 30, 2025) which, based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 4, 2025, would increase Banpu's beneficial ownership of our Common Stock to approximately 68%. The Company Stock Issuance will cause a reduction in the relative percentage interest of BKV's current stockholders in BKV's earnings, if any, voting power, and market capitalization.

#### Risks Related to Our Joint Ownership of the Power JV

#### Following the Closing, we will continue to operate the Power JV through a joint venture in which we share control.
Following the Closing, the Company and BPPUS will own 75% and 25% of the Power JV, respectively. In accordance with the terms of the A&R LLCA, the Power JV will be managed by the Power JV Board, which will consist of twelve members, nine of whom will be appointed by us and three of whom are appointed by BPPUS. Of the nine members who will be appointed by us, one or more may be a director of Banpu.

The A&R LLCA will provide that BKV will be delegated the authority and responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business of the Power JV. For as long as BPPUS maintains an ownership interest in the Power JV of at least 10%, consent from at least one member of the Power JV Board appointed by BPPUS will be required for and BKV will not be entitled to unilaterally cause the Power JV to take certain specified actions, such as: (i) any sale of the Power JV or certain significant subsidiaries, or transfer of substantially all assets, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or similar business combination of the Power JV, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) any winding up, dissolution or liquidation or any commencement of or any filing or petition for a voluntary bankruptcy or reorganization; (iii) any amendment, restatement, or revocation of organizational documents, subject to certain exceptions; (iv) any material change in the nature of the business or purpose of the Power JV; (v) entry into certain related party transactions; (vi) the issuance, sale, repurchase, or redemption of any of the equity interests of the Power JV; (vii) the admission of any new member to the Power JV, subject to certain exceptions; (viii) the early termination without the Power JV Board approval of, or the execution or material amendment of, any material contract, subject to certain exceptions; (ix) the incurrence of certain indebtedness beyond certain thresholds; and (x) the making of certain capital calls.

We face certain risks associated with shared control of the Power JV, and BPPUS may at any time have economic, business, or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours.

#### Risks Related to Our Relationship with Banpu and its Affiliates

#### Banpu is our controlling stockholder and exercises a significant influence over us, and investors' ability to influence matters requiring stockholder approval may be limited.
As of December 4, 2025, Banpu indirectly owns approximately 66% of our outstanding Common Stock. Our outstanding Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. In addition, Banpu is the ultimate parent company of both BKV and BPP, and as a result, based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 4, 2025, and assuming approximately 5,309,105 shares are issued to BPP in the Company Stock Issuance (such number assumes Closing Date indebtedness would be the same as at September 30, 2025), Banpu's beneficial ownership of our Common Stock would increase to approximately 68% at Closing. As a result of this ownership, Banpu has a significant influence on our affairs and its voting power constitutes a significant majority percentage of any quorum of our stockholders voting on any matter requiring the approval of our stockholders. Such matters include the election of directors, the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the approval of mergers or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Banpu's control or significant influence over us also may delay, defer, or prevent an acquisition by a third party or other change of control of our Company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of Banpu, even if such events are in the best interests of our other stockholders.

In addition, under our Stockholder's Agreement, as long as BNAC and Banpu beneficially own 10% or more of our voting stock, BNAC will be entitled to designate for nomination to the BKV Board a number of individuals approximately proportionate to such beneficial ownership, provided that (i) from September 27, 2025 until the first date on which BNAC and Banpu beneficially own 50% or less of our voting stock, at least four board seats will not be BNAC designees, and (ii) from and after the first date on which BNAC and Banpu beneficially own 50% or less of our voting stock, a number of board seats equal to the minimum number of directors that would constitute a majority of the total number of directors comprising the BKV Board will not be BNAC designees.

Further, if any person or group (other than Banpu and its controlled affiliates, excluding portfolio companies and operating companies) acquires 35% or more of our equity interests, or if any person or group acquires a greater percentage of our equity interests than are then held by Banpu and its controlled affiliates (excluding portfolio companies and operating companies of Banpu), such event will be an event of default under our reserve-based lending agreement, originally entered into on June 11, 2024 and as further amended on October 27, 2025, among BKV, as guarantor, BKV Upstream Midstream, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the "RBL Credit Agreement"), which may result in the amounts owed by us thereunder to become immediately due and payable.

The interests of Banpu may differ from our interests or those of our other stockholders and the concentration of control in Banpu will limit other stockholders' ability to influence corporate matters. Banpu may take actions that our other stockholders do not view as beneficial or decline to take actions that our other stockholders view as beneficial, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, Banpu's control or significant influence over us may have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.

 ***Banpu's interests, including interests in certain corporate opportunities, may conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders. Conflicts of interest between us and Banpu could be resolved in a manner unfavorable to us and our other stockholders.***

Banpu could have interests that differ from, or conflict with, the interests of our other stockholders and could cause us to take certain actions even if the actions are not favorable to us or our other stockholders or are opposed by our other stockholders. Potential conflicts of interest or disputes may arise between Banpu and us in a number of areas relating to our past or ongoing relationships, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • tax, employee benefits, indemnification, and other matters arising from our status as a publicly traded company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • employee retention and recruiting;

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • corporate opportunities that may be attractive to both Banpu and us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the arrangements governing the Power JV and any other new commercial arrangements between the Company and affiliates of Banpu in the future; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • sales or other disposals by Banpu of all or a portion of its interest in us.

We may not be able to resolve potential conflicts and disputes with Banpu and even if we do, the resolution may be less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third party. Because we are controlled and significantly influenced by Banpu, we may not have the leverage to negotiate amendments to any of the agreements governing the Power JV (should any be required) on terms as favorable to us as those we would negotiate with an unaffiliated third party. As a result of Banpu's relationship with us, Banpu will have significant influence over our affairs and potentially those of the Power JV and could exercise such influence in a manner that is not in the best interests of our stockholders.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that Banpu will not engage in competition with us in the future. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Banpu nor its affiliates or any director who is not employed by us (including any non-employee director who serves as one of our officers in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which we or our affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with us or our affiliates. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that Banpu or its affiliates, or any non-employee director, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, or its, or his or her affiliates, or for us or any of our affiliates, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to us or any of our affiliates. They may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity.

Our Certificate of Incorporation also renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are, from time to time, presented to our officers, directors, or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders, or affiliates who are our, or our subsidiaries' employees.

Generally, neither Banpu nor our non-employee directors, who also are directors, officers, employees, agents, or affiliates of Banpu or its affiliates (other than us), will be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely due to the fact that any such person pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for, or recommends or transfers any corporate opportunity to, Banpu or its affiliates (other than us), rather than to us. This renunciation will not extend to corporate opportunities expressly offered to one of our non-employee directors solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer.

These provisions create the possibility that a corporate opportunity of our Company may be used for the benefit of Banpu and may significantly impair our ability to grow. In addition, Christopher Kalnin serves as a member of Banpu's Executive Committee with responsibilities to Banpu to, among other things, manage all aspects of Banpu's business in North America. Although our corporate opportunity policy requires Mr. Kalnin to present applicable business opportunities sourced by him to our Company before such opportunities may be presented to Banpu, Banpu or its affiliates may compete with us for acquisition or other business opportunities.

#### THE TRANSACTION

#### Overview
On October 29, 2025, BKV entered into the Purchase Agreement with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of the Power JV currently held by BPPUS upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Upon Closing, the Power JV will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. We plan to fund the cash consideration for the Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and the net proceeds from the Equity Offering. We received net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $170.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

This section of the Information Statement describes material aspects of the Transaction, including the Company Stock Issuance and the Transaction. This section may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire Information Statement and the documents incorporated herein by reference, including the full text of the Purchase Agreement and Moelis' opinion for a more complete understanding of the Transaction. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and Moelis' opinion are attached hereto as Annex A and Annex B, respectively. In addition, important business and financial information about BKV is included in or incorporated into this Information Statement by reference. See "Where You Can Find More Information" on page [46](#tWYCF).

#### Background of the Transaction
As part of BKV's ordinary course strategic planning process, the BKV Board regularly reviews and discusses with senior management and advisors BKV's near- and long-term strategy, performance and market positioning, as well as prospects for growth, value creation and long-term success across BKV's four business lines. These reviews include evaluation of various strategic alternatives for achieving long-term goals, including accretive acquisitions and other strategic transactions, as part of ongoing efforts to create value for BKV's stockholders by managing and growing our integrated asset base and focusing on our net zero objectives. In particular, the BKV Board and BKV's senior management have engaged in discussions on ways to accelerate the growth of BKV's power business in light of the long-term demand trends for power in the ERCOT market, the rising adoption of artificial intelligence technologies, the ongoing expansion of the data center sector in the region and the available capacity of the Temple Plants.

The Power JV was formed as a joint venture between BKV and BPPUS in 2021. Since that time, BKV has held a 50% ownership interest in the Power JV, with the other 50% owned by BPPUS. The Power JV owns the Temple Plants, which include two combined cycle gas turbine and steam turbine power plants located in the ERCOT North Zone in Temple, Texas. The Power JV is currently managed by the Power JV Board consisting of ten members, five of whom are appointed by BKV and five of whom are appointed by BPPUS. Of the five members appointed by BKV, one is a director of Banpu who also serves on the BKV Board. Currently, the Power JV may not take certain material actions without the unanimous consent of the members of the Power JV Board. As a result, BKV does not have the power to unilaterally cause the Power JV to take action to advance the development of the power business including, among other things, (i) the entry into material contracts, (ii) the making of strategic acquisitions or investments in new power generation assets, (iii) the making of capital expenditures for new development projects, (iv) the entry into any joint venture or joint development project with a third party for new power generation opportunities or otherwise, (v) the incurrence of debt financing, (vi) the making of any distributions to BKV and BPPUS, or (vii) the appointment or dismissal of, and the determination of compensation arrangements with, the Power JV's lead executive officer.

In June 2025, at BKV's annual executive leadership team long-term strategic planning meeting, BKV's senior management team raised and considered a potential transaction by which BKV would acquire 100% of, or a controlling interest in, the Power JV which they hoped would, among other things, be accretive to BKV's

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

share value by providing BKV stockholders with greater visibility and understanding into the power business' cash flow generation through financial consolidation, enable investors to better recognize the value of the power business within BKV's portfolio, and provide BKV with greater control over the power business to support continued high reliability of the Temple Plants and to pursue additional strategic acquisition, investment and commercial opportunities.

Following the June strategic planning meeting and leading up to the July meeting of the BKV Board, BKV's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Kalnin, at various times had discussions with each of the BKV Board members to raise the possibility of BKV exploring a transaction to acquire 100% of, or a controlling stake in, the Power JV, to explain the potential positive impact senior management believed such a transaction would have on the trading price of Common Stock, and to preview a potential transaction as a BKV Board agenda item to be discussed as a possible strategic alternative to the status quo at the July BKV Board meeting.

At a meeting of the BKV Board held on July 17, 2025, BKV's senior management presented to the BKV Board, among other things, the potential acquisition by BKV of 100% of, or a controlling interest in, the Power JV. It was also discussed at such meeting that, in light of Banpu's ultimate position as a controlling stockholder of both BKV and BPPUS, and pursuant to BKV's Related Party Transaction Policy, the potential transaction should be evaluated by the Audit Committee of the BKV Board or another committee of the BKV Board consisting entirely of independent and disinterested directors and that such committee would engage independent Delaware counsel and an independent financial advisor. It was also discussed that the consideration of such a transaction would require significant time commitments from the independent directors and, based on the analysis from BKV's independent compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, for director compensation in connection with special committee processes, the BKV Board approved a $5,000 fee to be paid to the independent directors per meeting attended in which the potential transaction is discussed.

In mid-July and early August 2025, after interviewing other potential advisors, the independent directors of the BKV Board engaged Morris, Nichols, Arsht and Tunnel LLP ("Morris Nichols") as their legal advisor and Moelis as their financial advisor due to, among other things, their extensive experience advising special committees and, in the case of Moelis, strong industry knowledge. The independent directors also reviewed the independence of these advisors, including through conflict of interest checks, and determined that both Morris Nichols and Moelis were independent from BKV and Banpu and its subsidiaries (including BPP, BPPUS and BNAC) for purposes of representing the independent directors. Following their engagement, representatives of Morris Nichols reviewed with the independent directors their fiduciary duties under Delaware law in considering the potential transaction.

On July 25, 2025, with the authorization of the independent directors, representatives of BKV senior management, Baker Botts L.L.P. ("Baker Botts"), legal counsel to BKV, and Morris Nichols had a call with representatives of Banpu to discuss a potential timeline for considering the potential transaction and the governance process for independent review of the potential transaction at each of BKV and BPP. No substantive terms of the transaction were discussed on this call. From time to time thereafter, similar calls addressing process matters and timing occurred among representatives of one or more of BKV senior management, Baker Botts, Morris Nichols, and Banpu.

On August 13, 2025, the independent directors held a meeting at which representatives of Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Moelis, Baker Botts, and BKV senior management, were present. At this meeting, the rationale for acquiring additional equity interests in the Power JV was discussed, which included, among other things, (i) that BKV's stockholders have demonstrated interest in BKV's power business and the potential for growth in Texas; (ii) that financial consolidation would allow BKV to better convey to the market the value of its power business; (iii) providing BKV with additional governance rights in the Power JV would allow BKV to directly advance BKV's long-term growth strategy for the power business and would allow the Power JV to move more quickly and tactically in pursuit of growing the power business and executing on new strategic opportunities; and (iv) BKV management's views on the current and future potential value of power generation assets.

During the August 19, 2025 meeting of the BKV Board, it was discussed that, at the recommendation of the Audit Committee, a separate committee consisting of each of BKV's independent and disinterested directors should be formed to continue to consider and evaluate a potential transaction to acquire additional interests in the Power JV. At the meeting, the BKV Board determined that it was in the best interest of BKV

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

and its stockholders (other than BNAC) to, and did, form the BKV Special Committee, and designated and appointed each of Joe Davis, Carla Mashinski, Sunit Patel, and Charles Miller III as members of the BKV Special Committee. The BKV Board determined that no member of the BKV Special Committee had any material interest in a potential transaction whereby BKV would acquire additional membership interests in the Power JV from BPPUS, or a material relationship with a person that had such a material interest. In addition, the BKV Board determined that each member of the BKV Special Committee satisfied the applicable criteria for determining director independence from BKV and BNAC and its affiliates under the NYSE rules.

The BKV Board delegated to the BKV Special Committee the authority to, among other things, (i) determine whether to pursue a potential transaction to acquire equity interests in the Power JV from BPPUS; (ii) consider, evaluate, review, communicate and negotiate (or oversee the communications or negotiations) with respect to, or reject, the terms and conditions of such a potential transaction; and (iii) determine whether to recommend to the BKV Board the rejection or approval of such a potential transaction. The BKV Board also resolved not to approve or authorize such a potential transaction without a prior favorable recommendation of such action by the BKV Special Committee.

On August 20, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis and Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Baker Botts and BKV senior management, were present. At this meeting, the extensive nature and scope of the BPPUS approval requirements in the existing governance structure of the Power JV was discussed, including the manner in which such approval requirements (i) restricted BKV's ability to pursue strategic alternatives and advance the Power JV business, (ii) prevented BKV from consolidating the financial results of the Power JV with its own financial results and (iii) limited day-to-day operating matters. The BKV Special Committee considered potential changes to the existing governance provisions to be implemented in connection with a transaction resulting in the acquisition by BKV of a controlling interest in the Power JV which would, among other things, provide BKV with the ability to unilaterally cause the Power JV to make strategic acquisitions or investments in new power generation assets, make capital expenditures for new development projects, and enter into new joint venture or joint development projects with one or more third parties for new power generation opportunities. As part of this consideration, the representatives of Moelis described takeaways from their review of similar joint ventures in the industry. The BKV Special Committee also considered a possible timeline for such a potential transaction as well as the regulatory requirements applicable to BPP under Thai law for a transaction of this nature, including the approval of any such transaction by BPP stockholders holding not less than 75% of the total votes of the disinterested BPP stockholders attending and having the right to vote at a meeting of BPP stockholders held for such purpose.

After representatives of BKV senior management and Baker Botts departed the meeting, the BKV Special Committee determined to authorize Baker Botts to deliver to BPP and BPPUS a draft term sheet detailing, among other things, the potential governance provisions considered at the meeting and a potential timeline for the potential transaction, but not including specific proposals on material economic terms, such as the amount of the JV Power interest to be acquired from BPPUS, the purchase price and the form of consideration (other than stating that a portion of the purchase price may be paid in Common Stock). The BKV Special Committee also determined to authorize BKV senior management (directly or through Baker Botts) to engage in negotiations with Banpu and its representatives regarding such term sheet and progress long-form agreements that reflect such negotiations, subject to certain negotiating guidelines and parameters.

By early September 2025, BPP had engaged AWR Lloyd ("AWR") to act as its financial advisor and Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP ("WBD") to act as its legal counsel in connection with the potential transaction. In addition, in September 2025, BPP also engaged Silom Advisory Company Limited ("Silom") to act as its independent financial advisor in connection with the potential transaction. From time to time thereafter, representatives of BKV, Baker Botts, Moelis, Morris Nichols, BPP, BPPUS, WBD, and AWR, or subsets thereof, participated in a series of discussions regarding the potential timeline and term sheet, including regarding the proposed governance provisions, transfer restrictions and related matters to be contained in the A&R LLCA and the Purchase Agreement.

On September 3, 2025, September 8, 2025 and September 11, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held meetings to consider the financial projections of the Power JV, including power generation projections, retail projections and solar projections, and BKV management's financial forecast with respect to the Power JV. Representatives of Morris Nichols attended all of these meetings throughout, and representatives of Moelis,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the BKV management team and Baker Botts attended portions of such meetings at the request of the BKV Special Committee. Among other things, the BKV Special Committee considered: (i) that certain inputs used to create the power generation projections were provided by recognized industry consultants; (ii) the expected increase in demand for power generation in ERCOT arising from an anticipated increase in artificial intelligence data centers, and how such anticipated increase and risks associated with it are reflected in the power generation projections; (iii) projected useful life assumptions for the Temple Plants; (iv) projected major maintenance and capital expenditures; and (v) a projected step-up in tax basis in connection with the potential transaction, which at that time was not reflected in the projections. Also at these meetings, the BKV Special Committee discussed drafts of the Purchase Agreement, A&R LLCA, and other transaction documents, including the terms of the "board reserved matters" to be included in the A&R LLCA that would require consent from at least one BPPUS designee.

During this time, BKV shared with AWR, BPP, and BPPUS due diligence information in response to information requests, including, following authorization of the BKV Special Committee, the Power JV financial projections prepared by BKV management.

On September 12, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Baker Botts and BKV senior management, were present. Representatives of Morris Nichols and Baker Botts updated the committee on negotiations of the term sheet, including the scope of the "board reserved matters" to be included in the A&R LLCA that would require consent from at least one BPPUS designee. Following discussion, the BKV Special Committee authorized representatives of Morris Nichols and Baker Botts to deliver a markup of the term sheet generally along the lines discussed at this meeting. Representatives of Moelis noted that Moelis had received from management updated projections for the Power JV showing the projected step-up in tax basis in connection with the potential transaction.

Representatives of BKV senior management and Baker Botts left the meeting, following which the representatives of Moelis reviewed with the BKV Special Committee materials containing Moelis' preliminary financial analysis. Among other things, it was observed that the discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses performed by Moelis utilize conservative assumptions provided by BKV senior management related to projected useful life for the Temple Plants, and assumed no terminal value or salvage value at the end of useful life. Following discussion, the BKV Special Committee provided Mr. Kalnin with authorization to negotiate a purchase price with BPP to be based on an implied enterprise value of up to $999 per kilowatt ("kW"), with the high end of that range to be used if deemed necessary by BKV senior management. The BKV Special Committee observed that it may be comfortable with a purchase price based on an implied enterprise value above $999 per kW, but determined not to authorize negotiations above that value at this time. The BKV Special Committee also authorized BKV senior management to suggest, subject to the BKV Special Committee's continued analysis and approval, an acquisition by BKV of 50% of BPPUS' interest in the Power JV, and a 50/50 mix of cash and stock consideration, which the BKV Special Committee noted were figures utilized by BKV senior management when initially proposing the potential transaction for consideration.

Following the meeting, Mr. Kalnin met with representatives of Banpu as part of his consideration of how best to negotiate with BPPUS. During such meeting, Mr. Kalnin communicated the purchase price range authorized by the BKV Special Committee and the representative of Banpu suggested that BPPUS is expecting a purchase price based on a materially higher enterprise valuation range.

At a BKV Board meeting held on September 16, 2025, members of BKV senior management provided an update to the BKV Board on the status of the proposed transaction, including a high-level description of the financial, commercial, and legal workstreams advancing the transaction. BKV senior management also provided the BKV Board an update on the targeted closing timeline. On September 18, 2025, Baker Botts shared an initial draft of the Purchase Agreement with BPP and WBD.

On September 19, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Baker Botts and BKV senior management, were present. Mr. Kalnin conveyed to the BKV Special Committee that, based on the September 18, 2025 discussions with the representatives of Banpu, recent and expected interest and continued growth in the ERCOT power market, the requisite minority vote required by BPP stockholders to approve the potential transaction and his

experience in prior negotiations with Banpu, he believed he could best negotiate for a purchase price near the BKV Special Committee's desired range by approaching BPPUS with a firm position for a transaction price at an implied enterprise value for the Power JV based on $1,000 per kW. Representatives of BKV senior management noted that BKV recently received updated inputs from its third-party energy management service provider reflecting the projected effects of recent federal legislation on the power generation and delivery industry that would likely result in increases to the cash flows reflected in the power generation projections. Further discussions took place regarding the amount of BPPUS's interest in the Power JV BKV should purchase and the form of consideration to be paid by BKV (including if Common Stock is utilized, how to value such Common Stock). After the representatives of Baker Botts and BKV senior management left the meeting, the BKV Special Committee discussed these issues further with representatives of Moelis and Morris Nichols. Following discussion, the BKV Special Committee determined to direct BKV management to negotiate (i) an implied enterprise value for the Power JV based on $1,000 per kW, (ii) a potential transaction contemplating the acquisition of 50% of BPPUS's limited liability company interests in the Power JV and (iii) for the consideration to be paid by BKV to consist of 50% of cash and 50% of Common Stock, with Common Stock valued based on a trailing volume-weighted average price ("VWAP"). With respect to valuing Common Stock based on a trailing VWAP, the BKV Special Committee observed that such approach was used in the recent Bedrock Acquisition, and representatives from Moelis added commentary regarding the number of equity analysts tracking, and volume of trading of, the Common Stock. Shortly thereafter, a revised term sheet proposing a purchase price based on such implied enterprise value and an initial draft of the A&R LLCA containing governance provisions consistent with the term sheet was delivered to BPPUS, BPP, and their advisors.

From September 22, 2025 to September 24, 2025, meetings were held at BPP's headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand and by telephonic conference to negotiate the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the A&R LLCA, and the other transaction documents. These meetings included representatives of BKV's, BPP's and BPPUS's management, as well as representatives of Baker Botts and WBD. During this time, updated drafts of the term sheet, Purchase Agreement, and A&R LLCA were delivered to BPPUS, BPP, and their advisors. During meetings BPPUS management indicated that BPPUS was seeking a purchase price based on an implied enterprise value materially higher than $1,000 per kW. BKV management and Baker Botts communicated to BPPUS and WBD that the BKV Special Committee would not approve a transaction above $1,000 per kW. The parties discussed generation capacity of the Temple Plants for purposes of determining the purchase price, including whether net capacity or gross capacity should be used for such purpose. BKV management and Baker Botts explained that the proposed purchase price was based on a net generation capacity of 1,500 MW. Also during these meetings negotiations focused on, among other things, BPPUS's desire to expand the scope of the board reserved matters that would require BPPUS consent and to limit BKV's ability to (i) unilaterally cause the Power JV to make strategic acquisitions or investments in new power generation assets, (ii) make capital expenditures for new development projects, (iii) enter into new joint venture or joint development projects with one or more third parties for new power generation opportunities and (iv) enter into other material contracts. BKV management and Baker Botts continued to communicate to BPPUS and WBD that the BKV Special Committee would not approve a transaction that limited BKV's ability to pursue such strategic growth opportunities as proposed by BPPUS. Negotiations among BKV, Baker Botts (with the input of Morris Nichols), BPP, BPPUS, and WBD on the term sheet and the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, A&R LLCA, and related transaction documents continued telephonically over the next several weeks through October 28, 2025.

Following the September in-person meetings, on September 30, 2025 and October 3, 2025, the BKV Special Committee met with representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, and for certain portions of such meetings, Baker Botts and BKV senior management, to discuss the negotiations to date. The BKV Special Committee confirmed its direction to negotiate the terms of the transaction documents with a focus on, among other things, maintaining BKV's ability to pursue strategic growth opportunities without consent from BPPUS.

On October 7, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis and Morris Nichols were present. Representatives of Moelis discussed with the BKV Special Committee that the assumed generation capacity Moelis had previously employed for purposes of its analysis, at the direction of BKV senior management, was based on recent operating data, whereas the term sheet and related long-form documents utilized net nameplate generation capacity for the Temple Plants of 1,500 MW, which would result

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

in a less-than 2% increase in implied enterprise value. The BKV Special Committee discussed the financial analysis of the Power JV as well as the potential impact of recent legislative updates on projected cash flows and the conservative nature of the assumptions provided by BKV senior management and reflected in Moelis' analyses, and, following such discussion, the BKV Special Committee determined to continue to negotiate for an implied enterprise value for the Power JV based on $1,000 per kW and a 1,500 MW generation capacity.

On October 8, 2025, Mr. Kalnin met with BPP senior management at BPP's headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand to further discuss the purchase price and the terms and conditions of the transaction documents. In particular, during such negotiations, BPP senior management agreed to a purchase price based on $1,000 per kW; however, negotiations focused on whether net versus gross generation capacity should be used for purposes of determining the enterprise value. In particular, BPP proposed the use of its historically disclosed combined gross installed capacity for the Temple Plants of 1,523 MW and BKV confirmed its purchase price proposal was based on a net nameplate capacity of 1,500 MW. Negotiations over the purchase price continued over the next several days, with BPP senior management making a counterproposal to use a generation capacity of 1,504 MW, which they indicated was the average of summer and winter gross capacities of the Temple Plants.

On October 13, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis and Morris Nichols were present, to discuss BPP senior management's counterproposal to use a generation capacity of 1,504 MW. Following discussion, the BKV Special Committee determined that it would be willing to accept a purchase price based on such an implied enterprise value, subject to satisfactory resolution of any open items in the transaction documents, particularly on the scope of "board reserved matters" that would require BPPUS consent.

On October 14, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, Baker Botts, and BKV senior management were present. At this meeting, BKV senior management reviewed with the BKV Special Committee options for funding the cash portion of the purchase price in the potential transaction, including negotiating an amendment to BKV's RBL Credit Agreement to increase the restricted payment basket ("RBL Credit Agreement Amendment").

Also on October 14, 2025, the BKV Board held a meeting at which BKV senior management provided updates to the BKV Board on the rationale, key terms and open points of the proposed transaction at that point. Senior management also discussed the BKV Special Committee's process and status of their determinations to date, and previewed the BKV Board approvals that would be required following recommendation of the transaction by the BKV Special Committee.

On October 23, 2025, the BKV Special Committee held a meeting at which representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Baker Botts and BKV senior management were present. The BKV Special Committee discussed the current status of the ongoing budgeting cycle for the Power JV, as well as the use of a twenty (20) day VWAP in valuing any BKV Common Stock to be issued in the potential transaction.

At its meeting on October 23, 2025, as well as at a subsequent meeting held on October 27, 2025, attended by representatives of Moelis, Morris Nichols, and for certain portions thereof, Baker Botts and BKV senior management, the BKV Special Committee received updates on the negotiation of the transaction documents and material open issues arising from such negotiations, including the financial hurdle necessary to allow BKV to trigger a drag-along right in the A&R LLCA, and provided direction to BKV senior management as to how to negotiate such open issues.

On October 27, 2025, BKV entered into the RBL Credit Agreement Amendment.

On October 28, 2025, the final open issues in the Purchase Agreement, A&R LLCA, and other transaction documents were resolved and the BKV Special Committee held a meeting with representatives of Morris Nichols, Moelis, and, for part of the meeting, BKV management and Baker Botts to review and discuss the final terms of the transaction documents.

At the request of the BKV Special Committee, representatives of Baker Botts, BKV management, and Morris Nichols provided an overview of the Transaction and terms of the Transaction Documents, including that the Purchase Agreement reflects the acquisition of a 25% interest in the Power JV for $376.0 million

(which reflects an implied enterprise value of the Power JV based on $1,000 per kW at an assumed 1,504 MW operating capacity) less 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, with the number of shares of Common Stock to be used to pay a portion of the Purchase Price based on a twenty (20) day VWAP ending on the date immediately prior to the execution date of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, representatives of Morris Nichols reviewed with the BKV Special Committee members their fiduciary duties under Delaware law in considering the potential transaction, and representatives of management confirmed their belief that the potential transaction will allow both for financial consolidation and for sufficient governance leeway for BKV to unilaterally cause the Power JV to take action to advance the development of the power business. Representatives of Moelis reviewed with the BKV Special Committee Moelis' financial analyses and delivered to the BKV Special Committee an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated October 28, 2025, addressed to the BKV Special Committee to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the "consideration" (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by BKV in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to BKV. Moelis's opinion is more fully described below under the section of this Information Statement entitled "— *Opinion of Financial Advisor to the BKV Special Committee"* and is attached as Annex B to this Information Statement.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the BKV Special Committee unanimously (i) determined that the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, BKV and BKV's stockholders (other than BNAC); and (ii) recommended that the BKV Board (a) approve and declare advisable the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) submit the proposal to approve the Company Stock Issuance to BKV's stockholders for approval, and (c) recommend that BNAC execute and deliver the Written Consent.

Following the meeting of the BKV Special Committee, and based on the unanimous recommendation of the BKV Special Committee, the BKV Board unanimously (i) determined that the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, BKV and BKV's stockholders in their capacity as such, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) directed that the proposal to approve the Company Stock Issuance be submitted to BKV's stockholders for approval and (iv) recommended that BNAC execute and deliver the Written Consent.

On October 29, 2025, each of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of BPP (such board, the "BPP Board" and such audit committee, the "BPP Audit Committee") and the BPP Board met and unanimously (i) determined that the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of BPP and the BPP stockholders, (ii) recommended to submit the Transaction to the BPP stockholders for BPP Stockholder Approval in accordance with applicable Thai law, and (iii) recommended that the BPP stockholders approve the Transaction.

On October 29, 2025, BNAC executed and delivered the Written Consent to BKV, and BKV and BPPUS executed the Purchase Agreement and the BPP Letter Agreement. Also on October 29, 2025, each of BKV and BPP issued press releases announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the BPP Letter Agreement and the pending Transaction. Additionally, BPP filed an information memorandum discussing the terms of the Transaction and BPP Board resolution with the SET, as required under Thai law, together with a proposed amalgamation transaction and tender offer between BPP and Banpu whereby they contemplate that BPP would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banpu in the third quarter of 2026.

#### Financial Projections
Although BKV has, from time to time, publicly provided limited full year financial guidance to our investors, BKV's management does not, as a matter of course, otherwise publicly disclose forecasts or internal projections as to future performance due to, among other things, the difficulty of predicting future financial performance and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may not be realized.

In connection with the Transaction, BKV provided certain non-public internal financial projections for the Power JV to the BKV Special Committee and Moelis, in its capacity as financial advisor to the BKV

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Special Committee, and following authorization of the BKV Special Committee, to BPP, AWR and Silom, each in its capacity as financial advisor to BPP. Such internal financial projections for the Power JV were prepared by BKV management and informed by the Power JV's management. A summary of these financial projections is included below to give BKV stockholders access to certain non-public information that was considered by the BKV Special Committee for purposes of evaluating the Transaction. These projections are not, and should not be viewed as, public guidance or targets and should not be regarded as an indication that BKV considers the financial projections to be predictive of actual future events.

The financial projections, while presented with numerical specificity, were based on numerous variables and assumptions, including about future performance, that are inherently uncertain and many of which are beyond BKV and the Power JV's control. The financial projections reflect numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments made by BKV management, based on information available at the time the financial projections were developed, with respect to industry performance and competition, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events and matters specific to the Power JV's business, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change, and many of which are beyond BKV and the Power JV's control. There can be no assurances that the financial projections accurately reflect future trends or accurately estimate the Power JV's future financial and operating performance.

The principal assumptions reflected in the BKV management forecast for the near term relate to an assumed generation capacity aligned with historical trends, maintaining existing hedge positions and power and fuel pricing assumptions based on August strip pricing. The principal assumptions reflected in the BKV management forecast for the longer term include: (1) those related to the Power JV's power generation capacity based on input from its third-party consultants, including supply and demand mechanics, transmission buildout, firm new build additions, announced plant retirements, regulatory impacts, cost of emissions, natural gas price projections, weather impacts to scarcity events and renewable and battery penetration to market, (2) fuel and power generation pricing expectations based on forward pricing curves, inflation expectations and assuming no hedges, (3) heat rates and fuel consumption based on Temple plant specifications and other operational factors, and (4) costs and expenses based on historical trends and assumed inflation factors.

The projections are based solely on the information available to BKV management at the time they were prepared and do not reflect changes, circumstance, developments or events that may have occurred after such date. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those contained in the projections. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these financial projections not to be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the Power JV's business, industry performance, general business and economic conditions, and other factors described in or referenced under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" herein as well as those detailed in BKV's public filings with the SEC, see the section of this Information Statement entitled "Information Incorporated by Reference" beginning on page [47](#tIIBR).

 **In addition, the financial projections may be affected by the Power JV's ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable periods. There can be no assurance that the projected results summarized below will be realized. Neither BKV, the Power JV nor any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from these financial projections, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the financial projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date such financial projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the financial projections are shown to be in error or no longer appropriate.** 

The financial projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and, accordingly, do not necessarily comply with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information or GAAP.

Neither BKV, nor the Power JV nor any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives has made or makes any representation to any stockholder or other investor regarding the ultimate performance of the Power JV compared to the information contained in the financial projections or that projected results will be achieved.

#### BKV's stockholders are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the financial projections included in this Information Statement.
The following financial projections incorporate certain financial measures which are not GAAP measures. Such financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. BKV's calculations of these financial measures may differ from others in the industry and are not necessarily comparable with information presented under similar captions used by other companies. Financial measures provided to a financial advisor for the purpose of rendering an opinion are excluded from the SEC's definition of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which may otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure to be presented.

Subject to the foregoing qualifications, the following is a summary of the financial projections.

#### Opinion of Financial Advisor to the BKV Special Committee
At the meeting of the BKV Special Committee on October 28, 2025 to evaluate the Transaction, Moelis delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated October 28, 2025, addressed to the BKV Special Committee to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the Purchase Price TEV to be paid in the Transaction by the Company is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

 **The summary of the written opinion of Moelis set forth below is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Moelis' written opinion, dated October 28, 2025, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, and which is attached as Annex B to this Information Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis' opinion was provided for the use of the BKV Special Committee (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Transaction. Moelis' opinion is limited solely to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Purchase Price TEV to be paid by the Company in the Transaction and does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to the Company. Moelis' opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. Moelis' opinion was approved by a Moelis fairness opinion committee.** 

In arriving at its opinion, Moelis, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information, including publicly available research analysts' financial forecasts relating to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Power JV furnished to Moelis by the Company, including financial forecasts provided to or discussed with Moelis by the management of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed information regarding the capitalization of the Power JV and the Company furnished to Moelis by the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed certain internal information relating to the expected tax basis step-up to result from the Transaction and the resulting impact on cash flows (referred to as the "Expected Tax Basis Step-Up") furnished to Moelis by the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • conducted discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the information described in the foregoing four bullets, as well as the businesses and prospects of the Power JV generally;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that Moelis deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that Moelis deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reviewed (a) a draft, dated October 26, 2025, of the Purchase Agreement, (b) a draft, dated October 26, 2025, of the A&R LLCA and (c) a draft of the BPP Letter Agreement, dated October 26, 2025 (the Purchase Agreement, the A&R LLCA and the BPP Letter Agreement, collectively referred to in this section as the "transaction agreements"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as Moelis deemed appropriate.

In connection with its analysis and opinion, Moelis relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by it being complete and accurate in all material respects. Moelis did not independently verify any such information (nor did it assume any responsibility for the independent verification of any such information). Moelis also relied on the representation of the Company's management that the Company's management is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any information supplied to Moelis by the Company inaccurate or misleading. Moelis relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Company and its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts and the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up referred to above, Moelis assumed that they were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future performance of the Power JV. Moelis also assumed that the future financial results and the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up would be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected and that the value of the Common Stock to be issued in the Transaction would be equal to the Closing Reference Price. Moelis expresses no views as to the reasonableness of any financial forecasts or the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, Moelis did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of the Company or the Power JV, nor was Moelis furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.

Moelis' opinion does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. Moelis' opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Moelis was not asked to, nor did it, offer any opinion as to any terms of any of the transaction agreements or any aspect or implication of the Transaction, except for the fairness of the Purchase Price TEV from a financial point of view to the Company. Moelis did not express any opinion as to what the value of the Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which the Common Stock may trade at any time. In rendering its opinion, Moelis assumed that the final executed form of the transaction agreements did not differ in any material respect from the draft that Moelis reviewed, that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with its terms without any waiver or modification that could be material to Moelis' analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party set forth in the transaction agreements are accurate and correct, and that the parties to the transaction agreements will comply with all the material terms of the transaction agreements. Moelis assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Transaction will be obtained, except to the extent that could not be material to Moelis' analysis. Moelis also was not requested to, and did not, participate in the structuring or negotiation of the Transaction.

Moelis' opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Moelis as of, the date on which the opinion was delivered, and Moelis assumes no responsibility to update its opinion for developments after the date on which it was delivered.

 **The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Moelis to the BKV Special Committee at a BKV special meeting held on October 28, 2025, in connection with its opinion. This summary describes the material analyses underlying Moelis' opinion but does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Moelis in connection with its opinion.** 

 **Some of the summaries of financial analyses below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Moelis' analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data described below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Moelis' analyses.** 

The Purchase Price to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in BKV Common Stock. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. We refer to the $376.0 million as the "Purchase Price TEV."

*Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.* Moelis performed a DCF analysis of the Power JV using financial forecasts and other information and data provided by the Company's management to calculate the present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows projected to be generated by the Power JV. In performing the DCF analysis of the Power JV, Moelis utilized a range of discount rates of 10.75% to 12.50% to calculate estimated present values as of December 31, 2025 of the Power JV's estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2054, assuming an end of useful life in 2050 for the Temple Plants in accordance with the Company's projections, which Moelis noted may be conservative. In accordance with the Company's projections, no residual value at the end of its useful life, was attributed to the Temple Plants, which Moelis noted may be conservative. This analysis indicated an implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV of $1,295 million to $1,473 million and the following 25% of the implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV, as compared to the Purchase Price TEV.

Moelis calculated the implied tax step-up from an illustrative 25% equity purchase based on the Purchase Price TEV and compared the tax step-up to a 100% equity purchase for fiscal years 2026 through 2046 based on the Company projections and then discounted the cash tax savings generated by such tax step-up to the present value as of December 31, 2025 using a range of discount rates of 10.75% to 12.50% and the implied total enterprise value for the Transaction, yielding a present value of $22 million to $24 million for a 25% purchase and $89 million to $98 million for a 100% purchase. This analysis indicated an implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV, inclusive of the 100% tax basis step-up, of $1,384 million to $1,570 million and the following 25% of the implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV, as compared to the Purchase Price TEV.

Moelis reviewed, among other things, implied total enterprise value of the selected transactions as a multiple of the capacity of such target companies, assets or portfolios. Financial data for the relevant transaction was based on publicly available information at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction. Capacity data for the Power JV was based on financial forecasts and other information and data provided by the Company's management. Moelis then applied ranges of selected capacity multiples derived from the selected transactions of $900 to $1,200 per kW to the Power JV's current annual average base capacity of 1,474 MW. For purposes of its fairness analysis, Moelis conservatively applied ranges of selected capacity multiples to Power JV's current annual base capacity of 1,474 MW as compared to the higher generation capacity of 1504 MW agreed upon by BKV and BPPUS, which was based on an average of summer and winter capacities of the Temple Plants. For purposes of selecting its reference ranges for this analysis, Moelis noted that the selected precedent transactions with publicly-available financial metrics are limited in comparability to the Power JV due to several factors, including their limited ERCOT exposure. Moelis noted that, based on its experience and professional judgment, ERCOT transactions are generally executed at lower multiples to non-ERCOT transactions because of market dynamics, mechanisms, and pricing models and took this into account when selecting its reference range. Moelis further noted that the high end of the selected reference range does not include Blackstone Energy Transition Partners' acquisition of Hill Top Energy Center, in light of the asset's recent vintage, efficiency and lack of ERCOT exposure. This analysis indicated an implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV of $1,326 million to $1,768 million and the following 25% of the implied total enterprise value reference range for the Power JV, as compared to the Purchase Price TEV.

#### Other Information
Moelis considered and reviewed selected publicly traded companies, but made a determination not to rely on a selected publicly traded companies analysis in its financial analysis to determine its illustrative valuation ranges, as the selected publicly traded companies reviewed and considered were significantly larger in size and scale compared to the Power JV and were more diverse than the Power JV, operating multi-asset networks that each have less than 50% of capacity in ERCOT, as well as differences in business and technology mixes as compared to the Power JV and factors such as geography and contract profile.

#### Miscellaneous
This summary of the analyses is not a complete description of Moelis' opinion or the analyses underlying, and factors considered in connection with, Moelis' opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Moelis' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Moelis considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

analysis. Rather, Moelis made its fairness determination on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses.

No company or transaction used in the analyses described above is identical to the Power JV or the Transaction. In addition, such analyses do not purport to be appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because the analyses described above are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, neither the Company, nor Moelis or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasts.

The Purchase Price TEV was determined through arms' length negotiations between the Company and BPPUS and was approved by the BKV Board following a recommendation from the BKV Special Committee. Moelis did not recommend any specific consideration to the Company or the BKV Board or the BKV Special Committee, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transaction.

The BKV Special Committee selected Moelis as its financial advisor in connection with the Transaction because, among other reasons, Moelis has substantial experience advising special committees in similar transactions and strong industry knowledge. Moelis is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions, corporate restructurings, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

Moelis acted as financial advisor to the BKV Special Committee in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for its services, the majority of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. In connection with Moelis' services as financial advisor to the BKV Special Committee with respect to the Transaction, BKV has agreed to pay Moelis (i) $750,000 upon the delivery of Moelis' report, (ii) $500,000 upon the substantial completion by Moelis of the work in connection with rendering of Moelis' opinion (which was payable regardless of the conclusions reached therein) and (iii) $3,000,000 payable at Closing (such fee to be offset by any report fee and opinion fee, to the extent previously paid, which offset, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not exceed $1,250,000 in the aggregate). Subject to certain limitations, BKV also has agreed to reimburse Moelis, subject to certain conditions, for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Moelis' engagement with respect to the Transaction. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Moelis for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of its engagement.

Moelis' affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of the Company and BPPUS. Aside from the fees described above in connection with the Transaction, in the past two years prior to the date of its opinion, Moelis has not been engaged by (and has not received any fees from) the Company, BPPUS or Banpu and its related parties: BOG (as defined below), BNAC, and BPP (collectively, the "Banpu Parties"). In the future, Moelis may provide such investment banking or other services to the Company, BPPUS or the Banpu Parties or any of their affiliates and may receive compensation for such services.

The opinion was for the use and benefit of the BKV Special Committee (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Transaction. The opinion did not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. In addition, Moelis did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the Purchase Price TEV or otherwise. The opinion was approved by a Moelis fairness opinion committee.

#### Reasons for the Transaction
Following the meeting of the BKV Special Committee, and based on the unanimous recommendation of the BKV Special Committee, the BKV Board unanimously (i) determined that the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, BKV and BKV's stockholders in their capacity as such, (ii) approved and declared

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

advisable the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) directed that the proposal to approve the Company Stock Issuance be submitted to BKV's stockholders for approval and (iv) recommended that BNAC execute and deliver the Written Consent.

In making their determinations, the BKV Board and the BKV Special Committee consulted with BKV's management, as well as their respective legal advisors and, in the case of the BKV Special Committee, financial advisors, and considered a variety of factors weighing in favor of or relevant to the Transaction, including, without limitation, those described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • BKV's stockholders have demonstrated interest in BKV's power business and the potential for growth in Texas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • providing BKV with additional governance rights in the Power JV would allow BKV to directly advance BKV's long-term growth strategy for the power business and would allow the Power JV to move more quickly and tactically in pursuit of growing the power business and executing on new strategic opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • financial consolidation of the Power JV would allow BKV to better convey to the market the value of its power business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • BKV management's views on the current and future potential value of power generation assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the recommendation of the Transaction by the BKV management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the rendering of the opinion of Moelis, dated October 28, 2025, addressed to the BKV Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Purchase Price TEV to be paid by the Company in the Transaction, as more fully described above under the section of this Information Statement entitled "— Opinion of Financial Advisor to the BKV Special Committee;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the likelihood that the Transaction would be completed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including (i) the outside date allowing for sufficient time to complete the Transaction and (ii) BKV's and BPPUS's agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the Transaction.

The above discussion includes the principal information and factors considered by the BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board, but is not intended to be exhaustive and may not include all of the information and factors considered by the BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board. The above factors are not in any order of priority. The BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board did not quantify or assign relative or specific weights to the factors considered in reaching their respective determinations. Rather, each of the BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board views its positions and recommendations as being based on the totality of the information presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual members of the BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board may have given different weights to different factors. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the BKV Special Committee and the BKV Board and certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section of this Information Statement titled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

#### Approval of the Company Stock Issuance and the Transaction

#### BNAC Written Consent Approving the Company Stock Issuance
Effective November 4, 2025, BNAC delivered to BKV the Written Consent approving the Company Stock Issuance. As of November 4, 2025, BNAC held approximately 71% of the total outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, the approval of the Company Stock Issuance was effected in accordance with the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation, and the NYSE Listed Company Manual. No further approval of the BKV stockholders is required to approve the Company Stock Issuance. As a result, BKV has not solicited and will not be soliciting your vote for the approval of the Company Stock Issuance and does not intend to call a

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

meeting of stockholders for purposes of voting on the approval of the Company Stock Issuance. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Written Consent will be of no further force and effect.

Federal U.S. securities laws state that the Company Stock Issuance may not be completed until twenty (20) business days after the date of mailing of this Information Statement to BKV's stockholders. Therefore, notwithstanding the delivery of the Written Consent, the Company Stock Issuance will not occur until that time has elapsed. We currently expect the Transaction to be completed during the first quarter of 2026, subject to certain conditions to Closing in the Purchase Agreement. However, there can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed on or prior to that time, or at all.

#### BPP Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders to Approve the Transaction
As parent company of BPPUS, BPP has agreed to (i) prepare and deliver notice of the BPP EGM in accordance with applicable Thai law and (ii) call, hold and convene the BPP EGM to consider and vote upon the Transaction. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SET, adoption and approval of the Transaction requires the affirmative vote of BPP Stockholders holding not less than 75% of the total votes of the BPP Stockholders attending the BPP EGM and having the right to vote, excluding the interested stockholders as required by Thai law. Banpu and BPP have announced a planned amalgamation, ahead of which Banpu conducted a tender offer process to obtain outstanding shares of BPP not already held by Banpu. Following the expiration of the tender offer period on December 23, 2025, Banpu announced that 378,460,106 shares of BPP would be acquired from stockholders of BPP who accepted the tender offer, and BPP reported that, upon the acquisition of such tendered shares and based on the total number of shares of BPP outstanding as of December 26, 2025, it is expected that approximately 8.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of BPP will not be held by Banpu. The reduction of outstanding shares not already held by Banpu may make the BPP Stockholder Approval more difficult to obtain. The BPP EGM is currently scheduled for January 2026.

#### General Effect on Rights of Existing BKV Stockholders
The Company Stock Issuance will dilute the ownership and voting interests of BKV's existing stockholders, but will not dilute Banpu's beneficial ownership. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock through the Company Stock Issuance. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. Based upon the net indebtedness of the Power JV as of September 30, 2025, approximately 5,309,105 shares of Common Stock would be issued to BPPUS at the Closing (assuming Closing Date indebtedness would be the same as at September 30, 2025). The ownership and voting interests of BKV's existing stockholders will be proportionally reduced by such amount.

#### Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
Certain of BKV's directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of BKV's stockholders generally. These interests may present actual or potential conflicts of interest and you should be aware of these interests. The members of the BKV Board and the BKV Special Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Transaction and deem the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and related agreements to be fair to, and in the best interests of, BKV and our stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Christopher P. Kalnin, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of BKV, is (i) a director of the Power JV, (ii) a member of Banpu's Executive Committee and (iii) the beneficial owner of 2,326,244 shares of Common Stock (which amount includes 875,754 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Kalnin's spouse, but does not include 449,828 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") (at maximum payout) or 98,090 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding time restricted stock units ("TRSUs")).

#### Accounting Treatment of the Transaction
Banpu indirectly holds the controlling financial interests in both BKV and BPPUS. As a result, the Transaction will be accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to ASC 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues, transfers of net assets between entities under common control are accounted for at the historical carrying values of the transferring entity as of the date of transfer, and no gain or loss is recognized. Therefore, in connection with the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Transaction, BKV will recognize the difference between the consideration transferred and the historical carrying value of the net assets received as an adjustment to noncontrolling interest within equity. In addition, the Transaction will require BKV to retrospectively recast its financial statements to include the historical results of the Power JV for all periods during which BKV and the Power JV were under common control. As a result of the Transaction, BKV will be considered the primary beneficiary of the Power JV and will consolidate the Power JV's financials statements in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.

#### Conditions to the Transaction and Company Stock Issuance
Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or prior to the Closing of certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the BPP Stockholder Approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the absence of legal restraints preventing the consummation of the Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement (subject to certain qualifications);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the performance by the parties and BPP of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the BPP Letter Agreement, as applicable, in all material respects, including the entry by BKV and BPPUS into the A&R LLCA and the Registration Rights Agreement, and that BKV and the Power JV enter into the Amended ASA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • effectiveness of the Written Consent in accordance with its terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the mailing of this Information Statement by BKV at least twenty (20) business days prior to the Closing.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including (i) the right of BKV to terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event of any material breach by BPPUS of the Purchase Agreement or by BPP of the BPP Letter Agreement, (ii) the right of BPPUS to terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event of any material breach by BKV of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) the right of either party to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Transaction has not been consummated before June 30, 2026. For more information, please see the section of this Information Statement entitled "The Purchase Agreement — *Termination of the Purchase Agreement*" beginning on page [38](#tTOTP).

#### Regulatory Approvals
Under FCC regulations, an entity holding private radio licenses for internal communications purposes generally must obtain the approval of the FCC before the direct or indirect transfer of control or assignment of those licenses. One or more subsidiaries of the Power JV holds an FCC license for private internal communications and, thus, must obtain prior FCC approval to assign or transfer indirect control of that license. The Company believes the parties will be able to obtain the required FCC approval.

#### BPP Letter Agreement
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, on October 29, 2025, BPP, BPPUS and BKV entered into the BPP Letter Agreement whereby BPP agreed to (i) prepare and deliver notice of the BPP EGM in accordance with applicable Thai law and (ii) call, hold and convene the BPP EGM to consider and vote upon the Transaction. The BPP Letter Agreement will terminate automatically upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

#### Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement
At Closing, BKV and BPPUS will enter into an A&R LLCA governing the Power JV to, among other things, (i) expand the purpose and powers of the Power JV to pursue additional strategic initiatives, (ii) provide that BKV will be entitled to appoint a majority of the Power JV Board, (iii) delegate the authority and responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business of the Power JV to BKV and (iv) provide BKV with

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the ability to unilaterally cause the Power JV to make strategic acquisitions or investments in new power generation assets, make capital expenditures for new development projects and enter into new joint venture or joint development projects with one or more third parties for new power generation opportunities.

Pursuant to the A&R LLCA, future capital contributions may be made by BKV and by BPPUS on a pro rata basis only under the following circumstances: (i) to fund expenditures in amounts contemplated by the approved budget of the Power JV, (ii) to pay the services fees under the Amended ASA, (iii) to fund any Approved Strategic Investments (as such term is defined in the A&R LLCA) or (iv) if approved by the Power JV Board as a Board Reserved Matter (collectively referred to as "Approved Capital Calls"). No member of the Power JV will be required to make any additional capital contributions upon an Approved Capital Call without such member's consent.

Under the new terms of the A&R LLCA, each member of the Power JV will have the ability to transfer or encumber such member's membership interests in the Power JV (subject to certain limitations); *provided, however*, that no member will transfer all or any of its membership interests in the Power JV (1) if such transfer would subject the Power JV to the reporting requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws, (2) if such transfer would cause the Power JV to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or cause the Power JV to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership," or (3) if such transfer would violate, give rise to a default under or cause any payment to become due under, any credit agreement, guaranty, or similar credit document or any other material contract. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, BKV may not transfer less than all of its membership interests in the Power JV, without the prior consent of BPPUS, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned or withheld. Furthermore, BPPUS may not transfer its membership interests to any transferee that is a BKV competitor. Additionally, in connection with a transfer by BPPUS of all (but not less than all) of its membership interests in the Power JV to a third party, such third party shall have the right to appoint Power JV Board members in a similar manner and subject to the same limitations as BPPUS; however, no other governance, consent, information or approval rights that accrue to BPPUS in the A&R LLCA are transferable or assignable.

In addition, subject to limited exceptions, transfers by either member of their membership interests in the Power JV will be subject to a right of first offer to purchase such membership interests from the other member, BPPUS will have certain tag-along rights in connection with transfers by BKV to third parties and BKV will have a drag-along right to consummate certain qualified sales.

For as long as BPPUS maintains an ownership interest in the Power JV of at least 10%, consent from at least one member of the Power JV Board appointed by BPPUS will be required for certain specified actions referred to as "Board Reserved Matters," such as: (i) any sale of the Power JV or certain significant subsidiaries, or transfer of substantially all assets, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or similar business combination of the Power JV, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) any winding up, dissolution or liquidation or any commencement of or any filing or petition for a voluntary bankruptcy or reorganization; (iii) any amendment, restatement, or revocation of organizational documents, subject to certain exceptions; (iv) any material change in the nature of the business or purpose of the Power JV; (v) entry into certain related party transactions; (vi) the issuance, sale, repurchase, or redemption of any of the equity interests of the Power JV; (vii) the approval or amendment of the approved budget for the Power JV, subject to certain automatic annual adjustments in the absence of mutual agreement and provided that BKV shall update and amend the approved budget in connection with the consummation of any Approved Strategic Investment, (viii) the admission of any new member to the Power JV, subject to certain exceptions; (ix) the approval, making or reimbursement of any expenditure in respect of the Power JV that is not generally contemplated by an approved budget for the Power JV, subject to certain exceptions, including for Approved Strategic Investments and emergencies; (x) any lease, transfer or disposal by the Power JV to a third party of any operational assets or property not being undertaken in the ordinary course of business that exceeds certain thresholds except in connection with the execution, funding or consummation of an Approved Strategic Investment; (xi) the early termination without the Power JV Board approval of, or the execution or material amendment of, any material contract, subject to certain exceptions, including in connection with Approved Strategic Investments; (xii) the incurrence of certain indebtedness beyond certain thresholds and subject to certain exceptions, including in connection with an Approved Strategic Investment; (xiii) the making of certain loans; (xiv) resolving certain disputes, controversies or proceedings in relation to any tax matters with the Internal Revenue Service; (xv) any appointment or removal of the Power JV's auditors; (xvi) any adoption or material change to the accounting principles and/or

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the financial reporting standards of the Power JV, except under certain circumstance; (xvii) any change of the fiscal year of the Power JV; (xviii) the making of certain capital calls; (xix) entry by the Power JV into certain compromises or settlements; and (xx) the making of certain material goodwill impairments in the consolidated financial statements of the Power JV.

The above summary of the A&R LLCA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of A&R LLCA, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Annex C and incorporated into this Information Statement by reference.

#### Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Closing, BKV will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, BKV has agreed to, among other things, (i) provide BPPUS with certain Form S-3 demand and piggyback registration rights for our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company Stock Issuance, subject to customary cutbacks, lock-up periods, blackout periods and other limitations, (ii) pay certain registration expenses and (iii) provide BPPUS with customary indemnification rights.

#### Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement
In connection with Closing, BKV and the Power JV will enter into the Amended ASA. The Amended ASA further amends the existing Administrative Services Agreement, entered into on December 1, 2021, and as amended from time to time to, among other things, expand the scope of services to be provided by BKV to the Power JV and to increase the fees paid to BKV by the Power JV thereunder. The Amended ASA term will automatically renew and extend for successive one-year periods until the Amended ASA is terminated pursuant to the terms therein. Under the Amended ASA, we provide certain operational, accounting, tax and other services and in return we receive an annual fixed fee, currently set at approximately $6.97 million, which may be adjusted prior to the commencement of a new term. In addition to the annual fee, we are entitled to receive reimbursement for various reasonable costs and expenses and taxes incurred by us in connection with the services provided under the Amended ASA.

#### No Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights
Under the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the Company Stock Issuance or the Transaction.

#### THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The following summary describes the material provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The descriptions of the Purchase Agreement in this summary and elsewhere in this Information Statement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A and incorporated into this Information Statement by reference. We encourage you to read the Purchase Agreement carefully, and in its entirety, because this summary may not contain all the information about the Purchase Agreement that is important to you. **The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Information Statement.** 

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements described below and included in the Purchase Agreement (1) were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; (2) were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; (3) may be subject to important qualifications, limitations and supplemental information agreed to by BKV and BPPUS in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and (4) may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by confidential matters disclosed to BKV by BPPUS in connection with the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the representations and warranties may have been included in the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between BKV and BPPUS rather than to establish matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to such parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Further, the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the Purchase Agreement may have the right not to consummate the Transaction if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise. BKV stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of BKV or BPPUS or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement. None of the representations and warranties will survive the Closing of the Purchase Agreement, and, therefore, they will have no legal effect under the Purchase Agreement after the Closing. In addition, you should not rely on the covenants in the Purchase Agreement as actual limitations on the respective businesses of BKV and BPPUS, because the parties may take certain actions as consented to by the appropriate party, which consent may be given without prior notice to the public. The Purchase Agreement is described below, and included as Annex A, only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions, and not to provide you with any other factual information regarding BKV, BPPUS or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in the Purchase Agreement should not be read alone, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this document and in our filings with the SEC regarding BKV and our business.

#### The Transaction
On October 29, 2025, BKV entered into the Purchase Agreement with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of the Power JV currently held by BPPUS upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Upon Closing, the Power JV will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS. The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. The Purchase Agreement further provides that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price. We plan to fund the cash consideration for the Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and the net proceeds from the Equity Offering. We received net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $170.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

#### Closing
The Closing will take place at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time) remotely via electronic exchange of signatures, on the second business day after the date on which the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth under "— *Conditions to Completion of the Transaction*" (other than such conditions as may, by their terms, only be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall occur, or at such other time or on such other date as the parties agree in writing (the "Closing Date").

#### Consideration to be Paid in the Transaction
The Purchase Agreement provides that the aggregate consideration to be paid by BKV in the Transaction will be determined pursuant to a formula of (x) $376.0 million less (y) 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV at Closing, which consideration will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock. As of September 30, 2025, 25% of the net indebtedness of the Power JV was approximately $145.5 million. We plan to fund the cash consideration for the Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and the net proceeds from the Equity Offering. We received net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $170.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued at the Closing in the Company Stock Issuance will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price by the Closing Reference Price.

#### THE POWER JV BUSINESS

#### Overview
The Power JV is a joint venture between BKV and BPPUS. The Power JV owns the Temple Plants, modern combined cycle gas and steam turbine power plants located in the ERCOT North Zone in Temple, Texas. Temple I and Temple II have an aggregate net generation capacity of approximately 1500 MW and each power plant delivers power to customers on the ERCOT power network in Texas. Temple I and Temple II have baseload design heat rates of approximately 6,904 Btu/kWh and 6,950 Btu/kWh, respectively, which are below the ERCOT CCGT average. The modern technology utilized at the Temple Plants enables them to respond to rapidly changing market signals in real time, ensuring the highest operational readiness during the time when electricity consumption peaks (in winter and summer), making the power plants well-suited to serve the various needs of the ERCOT market. In February 2023, the Power JV launched a retail marketing business to sell electricity to commercial, industrial, and residential retail customers in Texas through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BKV-BPP Retail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, under the brand name "BKV Energy". Since its official launch, BKV Energy has built a portfolio of over 55,000 customers and is licensed to serve throughout the deregulated portions of Texas. The Power JV's principal executive offices are located at 100 Congress Avenue, Suite 1551, Austin, Texas 78701 and its telephone number is (512) 605 6640. There is no established public trading market for a class of common equity for the Power JV.

#### Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
To reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the market price of electricity and natural gas, the Power JV enters into financially settled HRCOs (as defined below), which are contracts for the financial purchase and sale of power based on a floating price of natural gas at a predetermined location using a predetermined conversion factor, or heat rate, required to turn the fuel input into electricity. The Power JV is exposed to basis risk in its operations when its derivative contracts settle financially and it delivers physical electricity on different terms. For example, if the Power JV enters into a contract for the financial purchase and sale of power based on a floating price of natural gas at a predetermined location using a predetermined conversion factor, or heat rate, required to turn the fuel input into electricity (referred to as an "HRCO"), it hedges its electricity production based on an agreed price for that electricity, but physical electricity must be delivered to delivery points in the market it serves. The Power JV is exposed to basis risk between the hub price specified in the HRCO and the price that it receives for the sales of physical electricity. The Power JV attempts to hedge basis risk where possible, but hedging instruments are sometimes not economically feasible or available in the quantities that it requires. The Power JV's hedging activities do not provide it with protection for all of its basis risk and could result in economic losses and liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Power JV, and thus on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Additionally, by using derivative instruments to economically hedge exposure to changes in power prices, we could limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the power prices, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Moreover, in the event the Power JV is not able to satisfy its obligations under the HRCO, it must purchase power at prevailing market prices to satisfy the HRCO. Likewise, increases in power pricing could limit the benefit we receive under HRCOs and may result in losses. Either such event could have a material adverse effect on the Power JV, and thus on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

October 28, 2025

Special Committee of the Board of Directors

BKV Corporation

1200 17th Street, Suite 2100

Denver, Colorado 80202

Members of the Special Committee:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to BKV Corporation (the "<u>Purchaser</u>") of the Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Purchase Agreement</u>") to be entered into between the Purchaser and Banpu Power US Corporation (the "<u>Seller</u>"). As more fully described in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire from the Seller 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (the "<u>Interests</u>") of BKV-BPP Power, LLC (the "<u>Company</u>") held by the Seller such that, immediately following the closing, the Interests would be owned 75% by Purchaser and 25% by Seller (the "<u>Transaction</u>"), for aggregate consideration of $376,000,000 (the "<u>Consideration</u>") reflecting that 25% of the Interests will be acquired by the Purchaser in the Transaction based on an enterprise value of $1,504,000,000, subject to adjustment for 25% of Closing Date Net Debt (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), such adjustment as specified in the Purchase Agreement (as to which we express no opinion), to be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("<u>Purchaser Common Stock</u>"), of the Purchaser.

In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things: (i) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information, including publicly available research analysts' financial forecasts, relating to the Purchaser; (ii) reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Company furnished to us by the Purchaser, including financial forecasts provided to or discussed with us by the management of the Purchaser; (iii) reviewed information regarding the capitalization of the Company and the Purchaser furnished to us by the Purchaser; (iv) reviewed certain internal information relating to the expected tax basis step-up to result from the Transaction and the resulting impact on cash flows (the <u>"Expected Tax Basis Step-Up</u>") furnished to us by the Purchaser; (v) conducted discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of the Purchaser, concerning the information described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, as well as the businesses and prospects of the Company generally; (vi) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Purchaser Common Stock; (vii) reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that we deemed relevant; (viii) reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant; (ix) reviewed (a) a draft, dated October 26, 2025 of the Purchase Agreement, (b) a draft, dated October 26, 2025 of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of the Company (the "<u>LLC Agreement</u>") and (c) a draft letter agreement (the "<u>Letter Agreement</u>") dated October 26, 2025 by and among the Purchaser, the Seller and Banpu Power Public Company Limited (the Purchase Agreement, the LLC Agreement and the Letter Agreement, collectively the "<u>Transaction Agreements</u>"); and (x) conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate.

In connection with our analysis and opinion, we have relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by us being complete and accurate in all material respects. We have not independently verified any such information (or assumed any responsibility for the independent verification of any such information). We have also relied on the representation of the Purchaser's management that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any information supplied to us by Purchaser inaccurate or misleading. We

![[MISSING IMAGE: ft_moelis-4c.jpg]](ft_moelis-4c.jpg)

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Purchaser and its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts and the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up referred to above, we have assumed, at your direction, that they have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Purchaser as to the future performance of the Company. We also have assumed at your direction that the future financial results and the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up will be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected. We have also assumed at your direction that the value of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued in the Transaction is equal to the Closing Reference Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). We express no views as to the reasonableness of any financial forecasts or the Expected Tax Basis Step-Up or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of the Company or the Purchaser, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.

Our opinion does not address the Purchaser's underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Purchaser. Our opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion as to any terms of any of the Transaction Agreements or any aspect or implication of the Transaction, except for the fairness of the Consideration from a financial point of view to the Purchaser. We express no opinion as to what the value of Purchaser Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which Purchaser Common Stock may trade at any time. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed that the final executed form of the Transaction Agreements will not differ in any material respect from the drafts that we have reviewed, that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with its terms without any waiver or modification that could be material to our analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Transaction Agreements are accurate and correct, and that the parties to the Transaction Agreements will comply with all the material terms of the Transaction Agreements. We have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Transaction will be obtained except to the extent that could not be material to our analysis. We also have not been requested to, and have not, participated in the structuring or negotiation of the Transaction.

Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to update this opinion for developments after the date hereof.

We have acted as your financial advisor in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, the majority of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. We previously received a report fee in connection with our engagement. We also became entitled to receive a fee upon the substantial completion by us of the work in connection with rendering this opinion, regardless of the conclusions reached herein. Our affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of the Purchaser and the Seller. In the past two years prior to the date hereof, we have not otherwise provided investment banking and other services to the Purchaser, the Company, or the Relevant Parties (as defined in our engagement letter entered into in connection with this engagement (the "<u>Engagement Letter</u>"). In the future we may provide such services to the Purchaser, the Company and the Relevant Parties and would expect to receive compensation for such services.

This opinion is solely for the use and benefit of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Transaction and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any stockholders or any other person, except as contemplated by the Engagement Letter. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This opinion does not address the fairness of the Transaction or any aspect or implication thereof to, or any other consideration of or relating to, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Purchaser, the Company or the Seller. In addition, we do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise. This opinion was approved by a Moelis & Company LLC fairness opinion committee.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be paid by the Purchaser in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A. The Company was formed, effective as of July 30, 2021, as a result of filing its Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C. On the date hereof, pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2025, by and among the Members (the "<u>MIPA</u>"), BPPUS has agreed to sell and BKV has agreed to buy, 50% of the Membership Interests owned by BPPUS (the "<u>Transferred Interests</u>") such that, upon the closing of such purchase and sale of the Transferred Interests, the Ownership Percentages of the Members are as set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto.

The Members acknowledge that, while BKV shall be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company, BPPUS intends to support the Company and participate in its business operations, including through contributing additional capital for new investments for the benefit of the Company. The Members acknowledge and agree that this recital of the parties' intent shall not create any fiduciary or other duties or obligations of such Members or their representatives to each other or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; E. The Members are entering into this Agreement to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety to effect the continued operation of the Company on the terms set forth herein.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

Contribution in the amount and within the time frame requested by the Company to be made by such Member in the notice of Approved Capital Call, the "<u>Funding Member</u>") may, but is not obligated to, in its sole discretion either (i) make a loan to the Company in an amount equal to any such amount not funded by the other Member (the "<u>Unfunded Amount</u>") and convert the additional Capital Contribution made by the Funding Member to a loan to the Company on the same terms (a "<u>Company Loan</u>"), in which case, the amount of the Company Loan shall be increased accordingly, or (ii) advance the Unfunded Amount to the Company on behalf of the other Member (the "<u>Borrowing Member</u>"), which advance shall be treated as a loan by the Funding Member to the Borrowing Member (a "<u>Member Capital Loan</u>"), followed by a Capital Contribution to the Company by the Borrowing Member. If the Funding Member does not elect to provide additional capital to the Company pursuant to clause (<u>i</u>) or <u>(ii)</u> of the foregoing sentence, the Company may pursue third-party indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 3.7</u> below.

With respect to a Company Loan, the Borrowing Member may deliver written notice to the Lending Member of its intent to repay its pro rata portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Company Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("<u>Borrower Contribution</u>") up to five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Company Loan.

If either a Company Loan or Member Capital Loan is not repaid in full within eighteen (18) months after such loan is made, the Lending Member and the Company shall convert the outstanding principal amount of such loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into a Capital Contribution. In the case of any such conversion of a Member Capital Loan, the amount of such principal and interest converted shall be treated as a reduction in/return of the Capital Contributions made by the Borrowing Member, followed by a repayment by the Borrowing Member to the Lending Member, followed by a Capital Contribution by the Lending Member to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.6 <u>No Right to Interest or Return of Capital</u>. Except as specifically provided for herein, no Member shall be entitled to: (a) any return of, or interest on, Capital Contributions to the Company funded pursuant

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for any taxable period to which the Partnership Tax Audit Rules apply, the Partnership Representative shall be permitted to elect the application of Section 6226 of the Code with respect to any imputed underpayment. In the event the Partnership Representative does not make the election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code, each Member shall take any action reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative to reduce the imputed underpayment. No Member shall have any claim against the Company, Partnership Representative, the Designated Individual or the Board for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Company in order to comply with the rules under subchapter C of chapter 63 of the Code, or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) If the Company pays any imputed adjustment amount under Section 6225 of the Code, the Partnership Representative shall allocate the amount of the payment among the Members (including any former Members) for the "reviewed year" to which such liability relates in a manner that reflects the current or former Members' respective interests in the Company and that is consistent with the manner in which tax items are allocated pursuant to the provisions in <u>Article 5</u> (as adjusted to take into account the applicable audit adjustments and including any associated penalties and interest) for that reviewed year. Each Member (or former Member) for the reviewed year hereby agrees to pay such amount to the Company, and any amount so paid to the Company shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution. Any amount not paid under the preceding sentence by a Member (or former Member) at the time requested by the Company shall accrue interest at SOFR plus 5%, compounded annually, until paid. To the extent that any Member fails to make any contribution required pursuant to this <u>Section 4.6(d)</u>, such amounts shall be applied to and reduce the next distributions or any other monetary payments otherwise payable to the Member under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) The Partnership Representative and/or the Designated Individual shall have no personal liability arising out of his, her or its good faith performance of his, her or its duties as the Partnership Representative and/or Designated Individual hereunder. Except with the permission of the Partnership Representative, no Member shall take a position on any tax return or other filing with any tax authority (or court) with respect to an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit attributable to the Company that is inconsistent with the Company's treatment of such item on its tax return or request an administrative adjustment under Section 6222(c) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) Each Member agrees that the rights and obligations of the Members under this <u>Section 4.6</u> survive the withdrawal of each Member, the transfer of a Member's Membership Interests, and the dissolution of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.7 <u>Fiscal and Taxable Year</u>. The "<u>Fiscal Year</u>" of the Company shall be the same as the taxable year and the taxable year of the Company shall be the same as the taxable year of BKV, which taxable year currently ends on December 31.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.8 <u>Administrative Services Agreement</u>. The Members acknowledge that the Company and BKV have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (as amended from time to time, the "<u>Administrative Services Agreement</u>"), and the continued performance by the parties thereunder has been approved by each of the Members and by the Board as a Board Reserved Matter. Any material amendment of or waiver by the Company of material rights thereunder shall require approval as a Board Reserved Matter.

#### ARTICLE 5. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSS

A separate capital account (each, a "<u>Capital Account</u>") shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and this <u>Section 5.1</u>. To each Member's Capital Account there shall be credited such Member's Capital Contributions, including any additional Capital Contributions under <u>Article 3</u>, the amount of Profits and items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to <u>Sections 5.2 – 5.6</u>, and the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are secured by any Company property distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. To each Member's Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Book Value of any Company property distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, the amount of any deemed reduction in/return of Capital Contributions of a Borrowing Member as a result of

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

conversion of a Member Capital Loan pursuant to <u>Section 3.3</u>, the amount of Losses and items of expense allocated to such Member pursuant to <u>Sections 5.2 – 5.6</u>, and the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company. If all or a portion of a Member's Membership Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account (and Capital Contributions) of the transferor to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.2 <u>Allocation of Income and Loss</u>. After application of <u>Sections 5.3 – 5.6</u>, Profits or Losses of the Company for any Fiscal Year or other relevant period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members in such a manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of the Members (as adjusted through the end of such Fiscal Year or other period for all capital contributions, distributions and allocations set forth in <u>Sections 5.3 – 5.6</u>) to equal and be in proportion to, as nearly as possible, (a) the amount such Members would receive if all assets of the Company on hand at the end of such Fiscal Year or other period were sold for cash equal to their Book Values, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited in the case of non-recourse liabilities to the Book Value of the property securing such liabilities), and all remaining or resulting cash was distributed to the Members pursuant to <u>Section 6.2(b)(vii)</u> *minus* (b) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may adjust the allocations made pursuant to this Agreement as long as such adjusted allocations are intended to be in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company and in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.3 <u>Loss Limitation</u>. Losses allocated pursuant to <u>Section 5.2</u> shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without causing or increasing a deficit balance in a Member's Adjusted Capital Account after application of the Qualified Income Offset described in <u>Section 5.5</u>. A Member's "<u>Adjusted Capital Account</u>" balance shall mean such Member's Capital Account balance increased by such Member's obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and decreased by the amounts described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.4 <u>Minimum Gain Chargebacks and Nonrecourse Deductions</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) <u>Minimum Gain Chargeback</u>. In the event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year or other relevant period (or if there was a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year or period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior Fiscal Years or periods to allocate among the Members under this <u>Section 5.4(a))</u>, the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "<u>Company Minimum Gain</u>" shall have the meaning for partnership minimum gain set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2), and any Member's share of Company Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1). This <u>Section 5.4(a)</u> is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) <u>Nonrecourse Deductions</u>. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Ownership Percentages. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "<u>Nonrecourse Deductions</u>" shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1). This <u>Section 5.4(b)</u> is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) <u>Member Nonrecourse Debt</u>. To the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company that are attributable to a nonrecourse debt of the Company that constitutes Member Nonrecourse Debt (including chargebacks of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain) shall be allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such debt in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "<u>Member Nonrecourse Debt</u>" shall have the meaning for the term "partner nonrecourse debt" set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), and the term

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

"<u>Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain</u>" shall have the meaning for the term "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2). This <u>Section 5.4(c)</u> is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (including the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.5 <u>Qualified Income Offset</u>. Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain) in an amount and a manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible *provided* that an allocation pursuant to this <u>Section 5.5</u> shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account balance after taking into account all other allocations provided for in <u>Sections 5.2 – 5.4</u> as if this <u>Section 5.5</u> were not in this Agreement. This <u>Section 5.5</u> is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.6 <u>Curative Allocations</u>. The allocations set forth in <u>Sections 5.3 – 5.5</u> (the "<u>Regulatory Allocations</u>") are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this <u>Article 5</u> (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account as provided for in the following sentence. Income, gain, loss and deduction shall be reallocated to the minimum extent needed to cause the aggregate amount of such Regulatory Allocations and the net aggregate amount of other allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss to each Member under <u>Section 5.2</u> to be equal to the net aggregate amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to <u>Section 5.2</u> if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.7 <u>Income Tax Allocations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Except as otherwise specified in the remainder of this <u>Section 5.7</u> or as otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, as determined for tax purposes, shall be allocated to and among the Members in the same manner that the corresponding items were allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts in accordance with <u>Sections 5.2 – 5.6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset other than cash contributed to the capital of the Company by a Member shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset to the Company for federal income tax purposes and the initial Book Value of such asset. In the event the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement (not including herein the initial booking of any asset contributed to the Company), subsequent allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction, as determined for tax purposes, with respect to such asset of the Company shall be determined and allocated among the Members so as to account for any difference between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and the Book Value of such asset in the same manner as would occur as to an asset contributed to the Company under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Board shall determine the method of allocation described in the preceding two sentences from among the methods allowable by Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Allocations pursuant to this <u>Section 5.7</u> are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.8 <u>Other Tax and Allocation Provisions</u>. In the event it becomes necessary to make any material elections or decisions relating to the allocations of Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and/or with respect to any tax matters, BKV shall bring such elections or other decisions to the attention of the Board, and such elections or other decisions shall be made as directed by the Board in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Further, the Company may, if the Board reasonably so elects, make an election pursuant to Code Section 754 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and a corresponding election under the applicable sections of state and local law).

In the event the approval of a potential Approved Strategic Investment will be under consideration at a regular Board meeting, the relevant papers or other materials for consideration shall be provided no less than sixty (60) days in advance of such meeting except where a shorter period has been mutually agreed in writing by the Members.

#### ARTICLE 9. TRANSFERS, SALES AND RIGHTS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.1 <u>Membership Interests</u>. Each Member shall be deemed to own a number of Membership Interests equal to its Ownership Percentage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.2 <u>Transfers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Subject to the provisions of this <u>Article 9</u>, each Member may transfer or encumber such Member's Membership Interests, in whole or in part; *provided, however*, that no Member shall transfer all or any of its Membership Interest (A) if such transfer would subject the Company to the reporting requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws, (B) if such transfer would cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or cause the Company to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Code Section 7704, (C) if such transfer would violate, give rise to a default under or cause any payment to become due under, any credit agreement, guaranty, or similar credit document or any other material contract to which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is bound, (D) in the case of a proposed direct transfer by BKV of less than all of its Membership Interest (other than to an Affiliate that is under the Control of BKV or in the case that BPPUS has exercised its rights under <u>Section 9.5</u>), without the prior consent of BPPUS, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned or withheld, or (E) in the case of a transfer by BPPUS, if such transferee is a BKV Competitor; and *provided, further*, that no transfer shall occur unless and until the transferee is admitted as a Member pursuant to <u>Section 9.3</u>. If a Member transfers Membership Interests in violation of the provisions of this <u>Article 9</u>, such transfer shall be deemed to be *void ab initio*. Upon a valid transfer of Membership Interests, <u>Exhibit A</u> shall be amended, without any further action by the Board or consent of any Member, to reflect the resultant new Ownership Percentages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of BPPUS contained herein to appoint Board Members, approve Board Reserved Matters, receive information about the Business, and to receive and exercise rights under <u>Section 9.4</u>, <u>Section 9.5</u>, <u>Section 9.6</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to require a minimum EIRR in connection with a Qualified Sale), <u>Section 9.7</u> and <u>Section 9.8</u>, together with any other governance, consent, information or approval rights that accrue to BPPUS herein, are personal to BPPUS and are not transferrable, assignable, exercisable or enforceable by any other Person (except for an Affiliate that is under the Control of BPPUS, but only for so long as such Person remains an Affiliate under the Control of BPPUS) whether or not BPPUS has transferred some or all of its Membership Interests to such other Person; *provided, however,* that in connection with a proposed transfer by BPPUS of all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interests to any other Person (except for an Affiliate that is under the Control of BPPUS), BKV will permit such Person the right to appoint Board Members as provided, and subject to the limitations contained in, <u>Section 8.2</u>, and BKV agrees to discuss with such

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC6)

Person (if requested) the opportunity for the transfer of certain limited consent or approval rights, as appropriate, in respect of such Membership Interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer restrictions set forth in this <u>Article 9</u> shall apply solely to direct transfers of Membership Interests by the Members and shall not apply to any change in the composition or ownership of BKV or BPPUS or any restructuring by BKV or BPPUS of their respective assets and subsidiaries other than or in addition to the Membership Interests (for example, no "Right of First Offer" or other limitation will apply to any transaction at the BKV-level, or to any transaction by BKV involving substantial assets, interests and/or liabilities other than or in addition to its membership interest in the Company); *provided*, *however*, that it is not the intent of the parties to avoid the application of <u>Section 9.4</u> and <u>Section 9.5</u> through an internal restructuring of the holding of Membership Interests and subsequent disposition by such Member of an entity, all or substantially all of the assets of which are the Membership Interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.3 <u>Admission of Member</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) A transferee of a Membership Interest desiring to be admitted as a Member must execute a counterpart of, or an agreement adopting, this Agreement, which, in any case, shall contain the representations, *mutatis mutandis*, with respect to such transferee as set out in <u>Schedule 2.6</u>, and such transferee shall not be admitted without prior written notice to the other Member. Upon admission of the transferee as a Member, the transferee shall have the economic rights, powers and duties and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of the Members under this Agreement, but shall not have any governance rights of any Member hereunder. The transferee shall also be liable, to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred, for the unfulfilled obligations, if any, of the transferor Member to make Capital Contributions to the Company pursuant to <u>Section 3.2</u> or in respect of any outstanding Member Capital Loans, but shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to the transferee at the time such transferee was admitted as a Member and that could not be ascertained from this Agreement. Whether or not the transferee of a Membership Interest is admitted as a Member, the Member transferring the Membership Interest is not released from any liability to the Company or to the other Member in connection with a Member Capital Loan, if any, under this Agreement, unless a novation agreement has been entered into by the transferee pursuant to which the transferee assumes all liabilities and obligations relating to such Member Capital Loan transferred by the transferring Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) In connection with the transfer of all (but not part) of a Member's Membership Interests, once the transferee of such Membership Interests is admitted as a Member, (i) the transferring Member shall cease to be a member of the Company and the transferee shall automatically be admitted as a member of the Company and (ii) the term "Member" shall be deemed amended to include the transferee and exclude the transferor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.4 <u>Right of First Offer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this <u>Article 9</u>, if either Member intends to transfer directly (other than a transfer to an Affiliate under the Control of such Member) all or any portion of its Membership Interests (the "<u>ROFO Interests</u>") to any third party (such Member, the "<u>ROFO Member</u>"), then the ROFO Member shall deliver written notice thereof (the "<u>ROFO Notice</u>"), including the amount of ROFO Interests, to the other Member (the "<u>Non-ROFO Member</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) During the 30-day period immediately following the Non-ROFO Member's receipt of the ROFO Notice (the "<u>ROFO Election Period</u>"), the ROFO Member shall enter into exclusive, non-binding, good faith discussions regarding the possible purchase of the ROFO Interests by the Non-ROFO Member. During the ROFO Election Period, the Non-ROFO Member shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make a written offer (the "<u>Non-ROFO Member Offer</u>") to the ROFO Member to purchase the ROFO Interests. The Non-ROFO Member Offer shall (i) be irrevocable, subject to an expiration date to be set forth therein, which may not be more than thirty (30) days or less than ten (10) days from the date of such notice, (ii) include no financing condition, provide for a timeline of regulatory approvals not to exceed ninety (90) days and include reasonably satisfactory supporting evidence of the Non-ROFO Member's ability to pay and timely consummate the transaction contemplated thereby, and (iii) set forth the price to be paid for the ROFO Interests, which shall be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, and the other material terms and conditions of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) If the ROFO Member accepts in writing the Non-ROFO Member Offer prior to the expiration thereof, then the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transfer of the ROFO Interests to the Non-ROFO Member as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the acceptance of the Non-ROFO Member Offer (which 60-day period may be extended by either Member for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals or consents from any Governmental Authority), unless the Members otherwise agree in writing (the "<u>ROFO Closing Deadline</u>"). The transfer shall be consummated pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Members providing for customary representations, warranties and covenants regarding, in the case of the Non-ROFO Member, the ability to fund and pay the applicable consideration, including the absence of any payment conditions, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents, enforceability of such documents against the Non-ROFO Member, absence of regulatory, shareholder, or other third-party approvals or consents and other matters relating to the Non-ROFO Member (but shall not be required to make any representations or warranties regarding any other Member or any representations or warranties regarding the Company's business, operations, assets or liabilities) and, in the case of the ROFO Member, its title to and ownership of its applicable Membership Interest, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents, enforceability of such documents against the ROFO Member, absence of required regulatory, shareholder, or other third-party approvals or consents and other matters relating to the ROFO Member (but shall not be required to make any representations or warranties regarding any other Member or such other Member's Membership Interests or any representations or warranties regarding the Company's business, operations, assets or liabilities). At the closing of the transfer, the Non-ROFO Member shall pay to the ROFO Member the purchase price set forth in the Non-ROFO Member Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) If (i) the Non-ROFO Member does not deliver the Non-ROFO Member Offer prior to the expiration of the ROFO Election Period, (ii) the ROFO Member rejects a Non-ROFO Member Offer timely delivered by the Non-ROFO Member or such offer expires in accordance with its terms, or (iii) the Non-ROFO Member delivers the Non-ROFO Member Offer, but the Non-ROFO Member and the ROFO Member do not consummate the transactions contemplated thereby prior to the ROFO Closing Deadline, then, in each case, the Non-ROFO Member shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this <u>Section 9.4</u> with respect to the ROFO Interests, and, subject to <u>Section 9.5</u>, the ROFO Member shall thereafter be free to transfer all but not less than all of the ROFO Interests to a third party on terms and conditions which, in the aggregate and taken as a whole, are determined by the Board in good faith to be superior to the terms and conditions offered (if any) by the Non-ROFO Member set forth in the Non-ROFO Member Offer, which may include terms and conditions relating to price, regulatory or third party approvals, timing, or execution risk; *provided*, that, if the ROFO Member does not consummate the transfer of the ROFO Interests to the third party within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the later of the expiration of the ROFO Election Period, the rejection of the Non-ROFO Member Offer, or the ROFO Closing Deadline, as applicable (which 180-day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required regulatory, shareholder, or other third-party approvals or consents), the ROFO Member must again provide notice and opportunity to offer to purchase the ROFO Interests to the Non-ROFO Member and otherwise comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 9.4</u> in order to transfer such ROFO Interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) If, after complying with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 9.4</u>, the ROFO Member intends to accept an offer to transfer the ROFO Interests to a third party, the ROFO Member shall deliver a written notice to the Non-ROFO Member notifying it of such intended transfer, including the purchase price, the identity of the third party and the other material terms and conditions (the "<u>ROFO Offer Notice</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.5 <u>Tag-Along Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Except in the event of a transfer to an Affiliate or by BKV in connection with a Qualified Sale pursuant to <u>Section 9.6</u>, if, following compliance by BKV with its obligations under <u>Section 9.4</u>, BKV is permitted to transfer directly all of the ROFO Interests to a third party, then BPPUS will be permitted to participate in the sale of such interests on the terms and conditions set forth in this <u>Section 9.5</u> (a "<u>Tag-Along Sale</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) BPPUS may exercise its right to participate in the Tag-Along Sale by delivering to BKV a written notice (a "<u>Tag-Along Notice</u>"), no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of the ROFO Offer Notice, stating BPPUS' intention to include all or any portion of its Membership Interest (up to its Tag-Along Portion) in the Tag-Along Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) BPPUS, to the extent it timely elects to participate in the Tag-Along Sale pursuant to <u>paragraph (b)</u> above, shall have the right to transfer in the Tag-Along Sale its Membership Interests on a pro rata basis (i.e., sell a percentage of its Membership Interests up to the same percentage of Membership Interests as BKV is selling of its Membership Interests) (such amount, the "<u>Tag-Along Portion</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any proposed transfer by BKV would cause BKV to have an Ownership Percentage of less than fifty percent (50%), then BPPUS, to the extent it timely elects to participate in the Tag-Along Sale pursuant to <u>paragraph (b)</u> above, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to transfer all of the Membership Interests then currently held by BPPUS in the Tag-Along Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) The election of BPPUS set forth in a Tag-Along Notice will be irrevocable, and, to the extent the transfer by BKV is consummated, BPPUS will be bound and obligated to consummate the transfer on the terms and conditions set forth in this <u>Section 9.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) If BPPUS does not deliver a Tag-Along Notice in compliance with <u>Section 9.5(b)</u>, it will be deemed to have waived its right to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, and BKV thereafter shall be permitted to consummate the transfer in accordance with and subject to <u>Section 9.4(d)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) In any transfer pursuant to which BPPUS exercises its rights under this <u>Section 9.5</u>, the aggregate consideration to be paid by the third party shall be allocated among the Members based on the relative Ownership Percentage of each such Member's Membership Interest to be sold in the Tag-Along Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) BPPUS will make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as BKV makes or provides in connection with the Tag-Along Sale; *provided, however*, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities will be made by the Members severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation will be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Members in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Members in connection with the Tag-Along Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) BPPUS shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by BKV, but subject to <u>Section 9.5(g)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) The fees and expenses of BKV incurred in connection with a Tag-Along Sale and for the benefit of both Members (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of BKV for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of both Members), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the proposed transferee, will be shared by the Members on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each such Member; *provided* that BPPUS shall not be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.6 <u>Drag-Along Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, at any time after the Effective Date and after BKV has complied with the procedures set forth in <u>Section 9.4</u>, BKV proposes to transfer all of its Membership Interests to a third party, whether by way of merger transaction, transfer, sale or otherwise (a "<u>Qualified Sale</u>"), each other Member (the "<u>Dragged Member</u>"), after having received written notice from BKV, shall be required to transfer all of its Membership Interests to such third-party transferee in accordance with the terms of this <u>Section 9.6</u>; *provided, however*, that if the Dragged Member is BPPUS, such transfer must be on terms and conditions, including at a price per Membership Interest, that would be sufficient, based on the final consideration set forth in the definitive transaction agreement in the Qualified Sale, for BPPUS to achieve an EIRR of 17% in order to qualify as a Qualified Sale. For purposes of this paragraph, "<u>EIRR</u>" means, as of any time of determination, the internal rate of return

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC6)

computed on the basis of actual cash-flow dates (ACT/365) that results in a net present value of zero for the series of cash flows consisting of (i) the cumulative amount of all Capital Contributions made by BPPUS to the Company in respect of such Membership Interests being transferred pursuant to this <u>Section 9.6</u>, taken as negative cash flows on their actual funding dates, and (ii) the sum of (A) the total cash and/or non-cash consideration to be received by BPPUS in connection with a transfer of its Membership Interests pursuant to this <u>Section 9.6</u>, without duplication of amounts distributed or to be distributed pursuant to <u>clause (B)</u>, taken as a positive cash flow on the expected payment date(s) thereof, and (B) the cumulative amount of distributions (including the distribution, if any, to be made at such time) that BPPUS has received in respect of such Membership Interests, taken as positive cash flows on their actual receipt dates, in each case determined in accordance with the accepted use of the Microsoft Excel XIRR function. For the avoidance of doubt, EIRR shall be calculated on a pre-tax basis and shall not be reduced for any taxes borne at the Member level by BPPUS or its Affiliates; *provided* that Company-level taxes to the extent they reduce amounts distributable to Members shall be reflected solely to the extent actually borne economically by BPPUS through reduced distributions or proceeds. In addition, the calculation shall give effect to all fees, costs and expenses related to the transaction that reduce proceeds payable to selling Members (including, without limitation, brokerage, financial advisory, legal and accounting fees and transfer taxes, but not escrows and holdbacks, to the extent borne by the Company or the selling Members on a pro rata basis; *provided* that any fees, costs or expenses borne solely by BKV or its Affiliates shall be disregarded for purposes of the EIRR calculation unless such amounts are borne by all Members pro rata.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) In connection with the sale of its Membership Interests pursuant to the terms of this <u>Section 9.6</u>, each Dragged Member shall make, or agree to make, representations or warranties on title, ownership, and authority over their own Membership Interests, and shall not make any representations regarding the Company or its business. However, each Dragged Member shall agree to the same terms and conditions as BKV in relation to any purchase price adjustment or indemnification adjustment holdback or escrow (in each case on a *pro rata* basis based on Ownership Percentages); *provided*, that, no Dragged Member shall be required to assume or incur any liability in excess of the amount to be distributed or paid to such Dragged Member in connection with the Qualified Sale, except with respect to fraud; *provided*, *further*, that the liability of the Members in a Qualified Sale shall be several (and not joint). Each Dragged Member shall take all commercially reasonable actions requested by BKV in connection with the consummation of the Qualified Sale including tendering the Dragged Member's Membership Interests and consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenter rights, appraisal rights or similar rights and participating in any exchange or other transaction required in connection with such Qualified Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Each Member shall be responsible for funding its proportionate share of any adjustment in purchase price or escrow arrangements in connection with the Qualified Sale and for its proportionate share of any withdrawals from any such escrow, including any such withdrawals that are made with respect to claims arising out of agreements, covenants, representations, warranties or other provisions relating to the Qualified Sale, in each case, based on Ownership Percentages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) Each Member shall be responsible for its proportionate share of the fees, commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Qualified Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Qualified Sale, or as otherwise requested by BKV, each Dragged Member shall deliver to the Company to hold in escrow pending transfer of the consideration therefor any agreements or other documents reasonably required to consummate such sale, including a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Company to take all actions necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of the Dragged Member's interests in the Company. In the event that a Member should fail to deliver its interests in the Company or documents described herein, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such interests in the Company are bound by the provisions of this <u>Section 9.6</u> and that such interests in the Company may only be transferred to the purchaser in such Qualified Sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.7 <u>Preemptive Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) If the Company proposes after the Effective Date to issue any Membership Interests or other securities of the Company that constitute equity in the Company or are convertible into equity in the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC6)

Company ("<u>Equity Securities</u>") to any Person in a transaction or transactions (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any deemed issuances of Membership Interests pursuant to <u>Section 9.1</u> in connection with a change in Ownership Percentages), each of BKV and BPPUS ("<u>Original Members</u>") shall have a preemptive right to purchase its *pro rata* share (based on Ownership Percentage) of such Equity Securities, on the same terms and conditions as offered to any other Person (including the other Original Member).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) In the event of a proposed transaction or transactions, as the case may be, that would give rise to preemptive rights of the Original Members pursuant to this <u>Section 9.7</u>, the Company shall provide notice (the "<u>Preemptive Rights Notice</u>") to the Original Members no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expected consummation of such transaction or transactions. The Preemptive Rights Notice shall set forth the Equity Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, and the payment terms. Any Original Member shall provide notice of its election to exercise such rights within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such Preemptive Rights Notice, which notice shall constitute a legally binding obligation of such Original Member to purchase such Equity Securities on the terms set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice, which may be revoked only with the consent of the Company. The failure of an Original Member to respond to the Preemptive Rights Notice and affirmatively exercise its preemptive right in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed an election not to exercise its preemptive right in connection with such proposed transaction or transactions. If an Original Member elects not to exercise its respective preemptive right, the Company shall provide notice of such fact to the other Original Member within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of notice thereof (or deemed election not to exercise), and the other Original Member shall have the right to purchase additional Equity Securities (a "<u>Subsequent Purchase</u>") from the Equity Securities as to which no such right was exercised. The failure of an Original Member to respond to such subsequent notice and affirmatively exercise its preemptive right in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed an election not to exercise its preemptive right in connection with such Subsequent Purchase. Any Equity Securities specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice that are not purchased pursuant to the terms of this <u>Section 9.7</u> may be issued and sold by the Company on economic terms no less favorable than the terms offered in the Preemptive Rights Notice within 180 days of the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice. Any such Equity Securities not issued within such 180**-**day period will be subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 9.7(b)</u> upon subsequent issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Each Original Member exercising its preemptive rights hereunder shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions as directed by the Company in connection with such Member's participation in the applicable issuance, including executing a purchase (or similar) agreement and making customary representations and warranties therein and agreeing to provide customary indemnification as directed by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) The Company has full discretion to abandon any proposed transaction giving rise to the preemptive rights set forth in this <u>Section 9.7</u> and shall in no event be required to offer or sell Equity Securities to any Member prior to the consummation of a binding purchase agreement executed in connection with such issuance. Neither the giving of the Preemptive Rights Notice nor any Original Member's election to exercise its preemptive rights shall obligate the Company, or entitle such Original Member, to any proposed issuance of Equity Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.8 <u>Equity Swap Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) If and for so long as BPPUS has an Ownership Percentage of less than 10% (the "<u>Equity Swap Election Period</u>"), following the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, BPPUS may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all of its Membership Interest for a number of shares of BKV common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("<u>BKV Common Stock</u>"), of equivalent value (the "<u>Equity Swap Option</u>") on the terms and subject to the conditions of this <u>Section 9.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) The value of such BKV Common Stock will be based on the average of the daily per share volume weighted average prices of shares of BKV Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or a mutually agreed alternative service)) for each day that is a Trading Day (without regard to pre-open or after hours trading) during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending on and including the date of the definitive agreement relating to such transaction. The value of BPPUS's Membership Interests will be determined in good faith between BPPUS and BKV; *provided*, *however*, in the event that BPPUS and

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC6)

BKV are unable to agree on a value of BPPUS's Membership Interests within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Equity Swap Option Election Notice, such value will be determined by a U.S. nationally recognized investment banker or valuation firm selected by mutual agreement of the Members. BPPUS may exercise the Equity Swap Option by delivering a written notice to BKV stating its intent to exercise the Equity Swap Option (the "<u>Equity Swap Option Election Notice</u>") on the terms set forth in the preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) If BPPUS exercises the Equity Swap Option by delivering an Equity Swap Option Election Notice, BPPUS and BKV agree to (i) enter into a purchase agreement on substantially the same terms (other than purchase price) as the MIPA (as applicable), concurrently with the closing of the Equity Swap Option (the "<u>Equity Swap Option Closing</u>") and such other definitive agreements necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of BKV, to effectuate the Equity Swap on terms substantially consistent with the MIPA (as applicable), and (ii) use good faith efforts to obtain any regulatory, shareholder, or other third-party approvals or consents required in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.9 <u>Certificates; Legends</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) All Membership Interests shall be recorded in book-entry form unless a Member requests that the Company produce or deliver a certificate representing such Member's Membership Interest, in which case, the Company shall produce and deliver one or more certificates representing the Membership Interests. Upon any such request, this Agreement shall be automatically amended (without any further action required by the Members) to add the following: "Any certificates representing Membership Interests shall be in such form as the Board shall prescribe. The Members hereby specify, acknowledge and agree that the Membership Interests are securities governed by <u>Article 8</u> and all other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware and, pursuant to the terms of Section 8-103(c) thereof, all Membership Interests shall be "securities" for all purposes under <u>Article 8</u> and all other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) In addition to any other legend required pursuant to any agreement among the Members and the Company, each such certificate, if applicable, shall bear the following legend:

"THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF BKV-BPP POWER, LLC (THE "COMPANY"), AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY. IN ADDITION TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN SUCH AGREEMENT, NO TRANSFER OF THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH (INCLUDING ANY EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER) ALL FEDERAL AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

#### ARTICLE 10. TERMINATION
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.1 <u>Dissolution</u>. The Company shall be dissolved upon the earlier of (i) the unanimous written consent by the Members to dissolve the Company or (ii) the approval thereof by the Board as a Board Reserved Matter. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the date of such consent or approval, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided herein and a certificate of cancellation of the Company has been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.2 <u>Application of Assets</u>. In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs, including a sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members, and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner and in the priority set forth in <u>Section 6.2</u>. The Board shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company, which winding up and dissolution shall be completed as promptly as practicable.

Each Board Member and Member agrees to hold (and cause its Affiliates, the BPPUS-designated representative(s) in attendance at the Monthly BPPUS Director Meeting or requested attendees at a Board Meeting pursuant to <u>Section 8.6(e)</u> to hold) all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not use, publish, communicate, divulge, disseminate or otherwise disclose all or any portion of such Confidential Information at any time except with the prior written consent of the Company or the Member to which such Confidential Information relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Board Member and Member shall be entitled to share such Confidential Information (a) with current and potential lenders and direct and indirect beneficial owners of the Company who have a similar obligation of confidentiality to such party, (b) if required by law (it being specifically understood and agreed that anything set forth in a registration statement, proxy statement, information statement or any other document filed pursuant to law will be deemed required by law), and (c) to its investors, attorneys and advisors who agree to maintain a similar confidence. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement and any other agreements among the parties, any Member (and each employee, representative, or other agent of any Member) and Board Member may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Company and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other agreements between the parties and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11.13 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by electronic transmission, with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document.

Each Member acknowledges that it has read and understands this Agreement, has consulted with legal counsel with respect to the terms and conditions hereof, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any representations or promises made by the Company or the other Member other than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on its own judgment with the advice of legal counsel and other advisers as it has deemed necessary or advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11.15 <u>Equitable Relief</u>. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement by such Member or the Company or any transferee or any legal representative thereof may cause irreparable injury to the Company or the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member or the Company to comply with such provisions and (b) the uniqueness of the Company, and the Company's and each other Member's business. Each Member and the Company consents to the issuance of an injunction or other enforcement of other equitable remedies against such Member or the Company at the suit of an aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or other security, to compel specific performance of all the terms of this Agreement, and waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of: (i) failure of consideration, (ii) breach of any other provision of this Agreement and (iii) availability of relief in damages.
