Overview of Significant Events

Our significant events since January 1, 2025 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include the following:

Strategic

In July 2025, we submitted a request to initiate the pre-filing review process with the FERC under the National Environmental Policy Act for the CCL Stage 4 Expansion Project, a potential further expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal with an expected total peak production capacity of up to 24 mtpa of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities.

In June 2025, our Board made a positive FID with respect to the investment in the development, construction and operation of the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel under a fixed price separated turnkey EPC contract.

In June 2025, certain subsidiaries of CQP updated the SPL Expansion Project’s FERC application, originally filed in February 2024, to reflect a two-phased project, inclusive of three liquefaction trains and supporting infrastructure, maintaining an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 mtpa of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities.

In May 2025, Cheniere Marketing entered into an IPM agreement with Canadian Natural Resources Limited to purchase 140,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas at a price based on the Japan Korea Marker, less fixed LNG shipping costs and a fixed liquefaction fee, for a term of approximately 15 years commencing in approximately 2030. This agreement is subject to us making a positive FID with respect to the SPL Expansion Project or unilaterally waiving such condition.

In March 2025, we received authorization from the FERC under the NGA to site, construct and operate the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project.

Operational

As of August 1, 2025, approximately 4,220 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling approximately 290 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded and exported from the Liquefaction Projects.

In March and August 2025, substantial completions of Trains 1 and 2, respectively, of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project were achieved.

Financial

In August 2025, we amended and restated our $1.25 billion Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (1) extend the maturity date thereunder, (2) reduce the interest rate and commitment fees payable thereunder and (3) make certain other changes to the terms and conditions of the existing Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 8—Debt of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

In July 2025, CQP issued and sold $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due 2035 (the“2035 CQP Senior Notes”), and the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem $1.0 billion of the aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the“2026 SPL Senior Notes”).

In June 2025, we announced updates to our company outlook, which included a plan to increase our annualized dividend by over 10% to $2.22 per common share commencing with the third quarter of 2025, subject to declaration by our Board.

In February 2025, Fitch Ratings upgraded the issuer credit rating of both Cheniere and CQP to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook. In June 2025, S&P Global Ratings concurrently assigned a BBB rating to the 2035 CQP Senior Notes and upgraded the remaining unsecured CQP notes to BBB from BBB-.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we accomplished the following pursuant to our capital allocation priorities:

We repurchased approximately 1.4 million and 3.0 million shares of our common stock, respectively, as part of our share repurchase program for approximately $306 million and $656 million, respectively.

In March 2025, SPL repaid the remaining $300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the“2025 SPL Senior Notes”) at maturity.

We paid dividends of $0.500 and $1.000 per share of common stock, respectively.

We continued to invest in accretive organic growth, including our investments in the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project, as further described under Investing Cash Flows in Sources and Uses of Cash within Liquidity and Capital Resources.
