NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we acquired 8.1% and 17.3%, respectively, of additional interest in Cheniere Holdings previously held by the public, and closed the previously announced merger of Cheniere Holdings with and into our wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the merger, all of the publicly-held shares of Cheniere Holdings not owned by us were canceled and shareholders other than Cheniere received shares of our common stock in a stock-for-share exchange. As of December 31, 2017, we owned 82.7% of Cheniere Holdings. Because the transactions represented a combination of ownership interests under common control, changes in Cheniere’s ownership interest in Cheniere Holdings were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized.
We own a 48.6% limited partner interest in Cheniere Partners in the form of 104.5 million common units and 135.4 million subordinated units, with the remaining non-controlling interest held by Blackstone CQP Holdco LP and the public. We also own 100% of the general partner interest and the incentive distribution rights in Cheniere Partners. Cheniere Partners is accounted for as a variable interest entity. See Note 9—Variable Interest Entities of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for further information.
