And it's something that we, Glenfarm, saw as a fair protection to the state, and we agreed to have it implemented as part of our contract. Again, this is a mechanism that is only exercisable at the state's option. In terms of Glenfarn's ability to seek recourse or any kind of compensation, we don't have that mechanism. We can't ask the state to exercise this option. If Glenfarn decides to abandon the project, we do so with no recourse.
The Alaska Senate added a corporate income tax on oil and gas pass-through entities like Hilcorp to the AK LNG gas-pipeline bill (HB 381), effective 2028 regardless of the project.

Justin Ruffridge to say the project simply "doesn't work."
