"Venture Global is proud to expand our existing partnership with PGNiG to 
provide a clean and reliable supply of American LNG to Poland. Since 2018, our 
two companies have significantly increased our cooperation, nearly tripling the 
volume of LNG Venture Global will export to PGNiG. Poland will lower its carbon 
footprint and diversify its energy mix by incorporating more American natural 
gas into its portfolio. Pivoting towards cleaner natural gas from the United 
States will not only increase Poland's energy security but also decrease its 
carbon emissions, and Venture Global looks forward to supporting our partner 
PGNiG in these efforts for years to come," commented Mike Sabel, Chief 
Executive Officer of Venture Global LNG.

"The import of LNG allows PGNiG to diversify sources and routes of supply of 
natural gas. This way we can provide Polish customers with energy security -- 
constant and uninterrupted gas deliveries. This is particularly important 
considering that natural gas will be a bridge fuel in the process of energy 
transition of the Polish economy. At the same time, access to American LNG 
gives us opportunity to develop trade of this fuel on the global market -- for 
this purpose we will charter LNG carriers to transport liquefied natural gas. 
In this respect, we value cooperation with Venture Global LNG, as it brings us 
the possibility of achieving our strategic goals," commented Pawel Majewski, 
the President of the PGNiG Management Board.

Today's announcement amends the existing Sales and Purchase Agreements signed 
by the companies in 2018, increasing the volume of LNG purchased from Calcasieu 
Pass LNG to 1.5 MTPA and the volume from Plaquemines LNG to 4 MTPA. This brings 
the total volume of LNG PGNiG has committed to purchase from Venture Global 
facilities to 5.5 MTPA, for 20 years on a free-on-board basis (FOB).
