[1] In October 2022, $300 million of the 2023 SPL Senior Notes were redeemed. As of September 30, 2022, the entire amount of the 2023 SPL Senior Notes was classified as short-term debt.
[2] Subsequent to September 30, 2022 and through October 31, 2022, we executed bond repurchases totaling $221 million, inclusive of CCH’s Senior Secured Notes due 2027, 2029 and 2039 on the open market, which are classified as current portion of long-term debt as of September 30, 2022 net of discount and debt issuance costs of $2 million.
[3] These debt instruments are classified as short-term debt.
[4] In June 2022, CCH amended and restated the CCH Credit Facility and the CCH Working Capital Facility resulting in $20 million of debt extinguishment and modification costs to, among other things, (1) provide incremental commitments of $3.7 billion and $300 million for the CCH Credit Facility and the CCH Working Capital Facility, respectively, in connection with the FID with respect to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, (2) extend the maturity, (3) update the indexed interest rate to SOFR and (4) make certain other changes to the terms and conditions of each existing facility.
[5] The redemption of these notes was financed with borrowings under the Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility, which is a long-term debt instrument. Therefore, the 2045 Cheniere Convertible Senior Notes were classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2021. See Convertible Notes section below for further discussion of the redemption.
