Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 16, 2023, Excelerate Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented a change to its leadership structure by separating the current role and responsibilities of Chief Commercial Officer into two executive positions: Chief Development Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, both of whom will report to the Chief Executive Officer. As a result, Daniel Bustos will step down from his role as Chief Commercial Officer effective November 16, 2023. To assist with the transition, Mr. Bustos will serve as a Senior Advisor to the Company until May 31, 2024, when his employment will be terminated.

In connection with Mr. Bustos’ transition to a Senior Advisor role and subsequent departure, Mr. Bustos and the Company entered into a Transition Services and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”). Among other things, the Agreement provides that Mr. Bustos will receive: (a) continued payment of his current base salary through his departure date, (b) a transition bonus of $221,468, subject to Mr. Bustos’ compliance with his obligations under the Agreement, and (c) severance payments and benefits in accordance with the terms of the Excelerate Energy Severance Plan. The Agreement also includes a general release of claims.

In addition, effective November 16, 2023, the Company appointed Oliver Simpson as its Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, reporting to Steven Kobos, Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Simpson, age 42, has served as Vice President, Commercial of the Company since 2017 and has been with the Company since January 2014. Prior to joining the Company, he was the Head of LNG Chartering at Fearnley Offshore LLC and a Gas Trader at Total Gas and Power North America.
