On March 5, 2026, Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.200% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2056 (the “2056 Notes” and, together with the 2036 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2036 Notes will be issued at 99.658% of par. The 2056 Notes will be issued at 99.524% of par.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Cheniere and customary conditions to closing and indemnification obligations of Cheniere and the Initial Purchasers.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Notes offering is being made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Certain Initial Purchasers and their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may provide in the future, certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services to Cheniere and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.
