Explanation of Responses: |
1. The securities reported in column 5 of Table I and column 9 of Table II are held directly by Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, LLC ("CQH"), which was, until December 18, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. ("CEI"). On December 18, 2013, CQH completed an initial public offering (the "IPO") of 36,000,000 common shares to the public. The IPO may be deemed to have the effect of reducing CEI?s pro rata interest in the Common Units and Class B Units. |
2. The aggregate net proceeds of the IPO was approximately $668.2 million. |
3. CEI disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities owned by CQH reported on this Form 4 except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. |
4. Prior to the IPO, Cheniere Common Units Holding, LLC ("CCUH"), Cheniere LNG Holdings, LLC, Cheniere LNG, Inc., Cheniere Subsidiary Holdings, LLC, Cheniere Class B Units Holdings, LLC ("CBUH") and certain other Cheniere subsidiaries were liquidated or merged out of existence (in transactions subject to Rule 16a-13) with the result that CQH became the direct owner of all Common Units and all Class B Units of the Issuer formerly owned directly by CCUH and CBUH. |
5. Under certain circumstances specified in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership for the Issuer, the Class B Units are convertible into Common Units of the Issuer at a rate equal to the Class B Conversion Value of a Class B Unit (which value will increase at a compounded rate of 3.5% per quarter, subject to an additional upward adjustment for certain equity and debt financings) divided by $15.00 (as adjusted for splits and combinations). The Class B Units will be convertible only upon certain events. For further information on the events that trigger conversion and other details regarding the conversion, see the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8 K filed by the Issuer on August 9, 2012). |
