On December 6, 2021, Cheniere Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) for all $625,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2045 (the “Notes”), which were issued pursuant to an Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (as supplemented, the “Indenture”), in each case, dated as of March 9, 2015, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The Notes will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture on January 5, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”).

The Notes called for redemption may be converted by holders at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, 2021 (the “Conversion Deadline”). The Company has elected to settle any conversions validly submitted prior to the Conversion Deadline by combination settlement in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
