Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Zimmer Partners, LP (the “Investment Manager”), Zimmer Partners GP, LLC (“Zimmer GP”) and Stuart J. Zimmer (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on May 22, 2017. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

On April 27, 2018, ZP Master Utility Fund, Ltd. (“ZP Master Utility”), P Zimmer Ltd. (“P Zimmer”), ZP Energy Fund, L.P. (“ZP Energy”) and ZP Master Energy Fund, L.P. (“ZP Master Energy”, and together with ZP Master Utility, P Zimmer and ZP Energy, the “Zimmer Accounts”) entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”) pursuant to which the Zimmer Accounts agreed to sell the 11,987,346 Common Shares of the Issuer held by them in the aggregate in exchange for shares of common stock of Cheniere at a ratio of one Common Share for approximately 0.48 shares of Cheniere common stock. Pursuant to the Purchase and Exchange Agreement, ZP Master Utility exchanged 7,231,572 Common Shares of the Issuer for 3,471,155 shares of Cheniere common stock; P Zimmer exchanged 528,404 Common Shares of the Issuer for 253,634 shares of Cheniere common stock; ZP Energy exchanged 2,324,258 Common Shares of the Issuer for 1,115,644 shares of Cheniere common stock; and ZP Master Energy exchanged 1,903,112 Common Shares of the Issuer for 913,494 shares of Cheniere common stock. The Purchase and Exchange Agreement also included registration rights provisions for the shares of Cheniere common stock received by the Zimmer Accounts.

The foregoing description of the Purchase and Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase and Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 1 are incorporated herein by reference.

The Zimmer Accounts have delegated to the Investment Manager sole voting and investment power over the securities held by the Zimmer Accounts pursuant to their respective Investment Management Agreements with the Investment Manager. As a result, each of the Investment Manager, Zimmer GP, as the general partner of the Investment Manager, and Stuart J. Zimmer, as the sole member of Zimmer GP, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over securities directly held by the Zimmer Accounts. The Zimmer Accounts specifically disclaim that they had beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer that were directly held by them by virtue of their inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of their respective Investment Management Agreements with the Investment Manager.

(c) The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Amendment No. 1, transactions by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Zimmer Accounts) effected during the past 60 days are set forth in Schedule A below and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) The disclosure regarding the relationship between the Reporting Persons in Item 2(c) of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein. All securities that have been reported in this Schedule 13D were directly held by the Zimmer Accounts, all of which are investment management clients of the Investment Manager. The limited partners of (or investors in) each of the Zimmer Accounts have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, securities held for the accounts of their respective Zimmer Accounts in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective Zimmer Accounts.


(e) On April 27, 2018, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be a 5% beneficial owner of the class of securities of the Issuer to which this Schedule 13D relates.

 

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 6 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

The disclosure in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein.

The Purchase and Exchange Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

ARTICLE I

SHARE PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE; CLOSING

Section 1.1     Share Purchase and Exchange. Investor hereby agrees to, and hereby does, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver the CQH Shares to the Company, free and clear of all liens (other than liens arising under applicable securities laws or the organizational documents of CQH), and in consideration therefor, the Company agrees to, and hereby does, issue to Investor the CEI Shares, free and clear of all liens (other than liens arising under applicable securities laws or the organizational documents of the Company).

Section 1.2     Closing.

(a)    The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be held at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.


(b)    At the Closing:

(c)    The CEI Shares are duly authorized and, when issued pursuant to this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(d)    The Company confirms that neither it nor any of its directors, officers or affiliates has provided Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material non-public information (other than the existence and terms of the issuance of the CEI Shares contemplated by this Agreement).

Section 2.2     Representations and Warranties of Investor.

(a)    Investor is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    Investor has good and valid title to the CQH Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims (other than liens, encumbrances, equities or claims arising under applicable securities laws or the organizational documents of CQH), and upon delivery of the CQH Shares in consideration of the CEI Shares pursuant hereto, good and valid title to the CQH Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims (other than liens, encumbrances, equities or claims arising under applicable securities laws or the organizational documents of CQH), will pass to the Company.

(d)    Investor understands and agrees that the CEI Shares are being issued to Investor pursuant to the “private placement” exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(e)    Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Investor has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits of investing in the CEI Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risk of such investment.

(f)    Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company may be in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company and its affiliates not known to Investor that may impact the value of the CEI Shares and CQH shares and that the Company is not disclosing any such information to Investor.

(g)    Investor acknowledges and understands, based on its knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters, the disadvantage to which Investor is subject due to the disparity of information between the Company and Investor, including the disparity of information created by the non-disclosure of any material non-public information regarding the Company and its affiliates. Notwithstanding such disparity, Investor has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)    Investor is not purchasing the CEI Shares as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising as such terms are used in Rule 502 under the Securities Act.

(i)    Investor understands and agrees that the CEI Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act which may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances pursuant to an exemption from such registration in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

ARTICLE III

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 3.1    Restrictions. The Company and Investor agree that the CEI Shares will be uncertificated and that any book entries recording the ownership of the CEI

 

3


Shares in the transfer books of the Company maintained by the Company or the CEI Transfer Agent will bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS BOOK ENTRY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.”;

provided, that such legend shall not be required (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of the CEI Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of the CEI Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act if Investor provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the CEI Shares can be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or (iii) if Investor provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act; and further, provided, that, upon effectiveness of such registration statement, the Company shall instruct the CEI Transfer Agent to remove the aforementioned legend on the book entries recording ownership of the CEI Shares, provided that the purchaser warrants and represents that the CEI Shares will only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company will instruct the CEI Transfer Agent to place “stop transfer” instructions against a transfer of the CEI Shares while the aforementioned legending requirement is in effect.

Section 3.2    Registration Rights. As a condition and inducement to Investor’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Company agrees to register the CEI Shares on a continuous basis pursuant to a shelf registration statement in accordance with applicable securities laws on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1    Non-Public Information. Investor agrees that none of the Company or its directors, officers, employees and affiliates shall have any liability to Investor or its directors, officers, affiliates, principals, stockholders, partners, employees and agents whatsoever due to or in connection with the Company’s non-disclosure of any material non-public information that it or its directors, officers, employees and affiliates may be in possession of, and Investor hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contract or otherwise, its directors, officers, affiliates, principals, stockholders, partners, employees and agents might have based on the failure of the Company to disclose any such information.

Exhibit A

Registration Rights

 

PARTIES:    Cheniere Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and each of the parties set forth on Schedule I attached to the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (defined below) (each such party may be referred to herein individually or collectively (as the case may be) as an “Investor”)
REGISTRABLE SHARES:   

Registrable Shares” means (i) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.003 per share (the “CEI Common Stock”), received by Investor pursuant to the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2018, by and between the Company and Investor (the “Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) and (ii) any shares of CEI Common Stock received by Investor in respect thereof in connection with any stock split or subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or similar transaction.

 

Any such shares of CEI Common Stock shall cease to be Registrable Shares upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such shares being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) such shares being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), (iii) such shares becoming eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and (iv) such shares ceasing to be outstanding.

SHELF REGISTRATION:   

Subject to Investor timely providing the Company with all information and documents reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such filing, the Company will file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement, either (i) an amendment to the Company’s existing registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-204432) or (ii) an automatic registration statement on Form S-3 to register all Registrable Shares held by Investor (including a plan and method of distribution as reasonably determined by the Company and Investor, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include underwritten offerings). Such registration statement or amendment may also register sales of securities for the account of the Company or other holders.

 

Subject to any Blackout Period, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the end of the Term.

 

12


   For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to facilitate a sale of Registrable Shares by way of an underwritten offering.
BLACKOUT PERIODS:   

In the event that management of the Company determines in good faith that the registration or sale of Registrable Shares would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement, or suspend the availability of a registration statement and the prospectus contained therein for sales thereunder, for a period of up to 90 days.

 

A Blackout Period may not occur more than 3 times in any period of 12 consecutive months or last, together with any other Blackout Period, in the aggregate, more than 90 days in any period of 12 consecutive months.

LISTING:    The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of CEI Common Stock received by Investor pursuant to the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement to be listed on the NYSE American LLC.
EXPENSES:    All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Exhibit A (including all registration and filing fees) shall be borne solely by the Company. Investor shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, and the fees and expenses of its counsel, if any, relating to a sale of Registrable Shares.
TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS:    Investor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Exhibit A without the prior written consent of the Company, except that Investor may assign all or a portion of its rights under this Exhibit A to an Affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) to which Investor transfers all or any of the Registrable Shares in accordance with applicable law, and all references to “Investor” herein shall thereafter be deemed to include and apply to such Affiliate.
TERM:    The rights and obligations under this Exhibit A shall terminate on (i) the first anniversary of the date of the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement or (ii) if earlier, the date on which Investor ceases to own any Registrable Shares.
