("Cheniere Partners") (NYSE MKT: CQP), which is a publicly traded partnership that we created in 2007.&#160;&#160;The Sabine Pass LNG terminal is located on the Sabine Pass deep water shipping channel less than four miles from the Gulf Coast. The Sabine Pass LNG terminal has regasification facilities owned by Cheniere Partners' wholly owned subsidiary, Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. ("Sabine Pass LNG") that includes existing infrastructure of five LNG storage tanks with capacity of approximately 16.9 Bcfe, two docks that can accommodate vessels of up to 265,000 cubic meters and vaporizers with regasification capacity of approximately 4.0 Bcf/d. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Cheniere Partners is developing natural gas liquefaction facilities (the "Liquefaction Project") at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal adjacent to the existing regasification facilities through a wholly owned subsidiary, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC ("Sabine Pass Liquefaction"). We plan to construct up to six Trains (each in sequence, "Train&#160;1", "Train&#160;2", "Train&#160;3", "Train&#160;4", "Train&#160;5" and "Train&#160;6"), which are in various stages of development. Each Train is expected to have nominal production capacity of approximately 4.5 million tonnes per annum ("mtpa"). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2013, we sold our ownership interests in Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P.

Cheniere Marketing also holds a 104 million MMBtu per year LNG sale and purchase agreement ("SPA") with Sabine Pass Liquefaction under which it has the right to purchase LNG from Sabine Pass Liquefaction for a tiered incentive-based fee. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are also in various stages of developing other projects, including LNG facilities and associated pipelines, each of which, among other things, will require acceptable commercial and financing arrangements before we make a final investment decision.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the "Company", "Cheniere", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Cheniere Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our publicly traded subsidiary partnership, Cheniere Partners.</font></div></div>
