[1] In June 2023, CQP and SPL refinanced and replaced the CQP Credit Facilities and the SPL Working Capital Facility with the CQP Revolving Credit Facility and the SPL Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, resulting in extended maturity dates, revised borrowing capacities, reduced rate of interest and commitment fees applicable thereunder and certain other changes to terms and conditions.
[2] The margin on the interest rate and the commitment fees is subject to change based on the applicable entity’s credit rating
[3] In June 2023, we amended the Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility to update the indexed interest rate to SOFR.
[4] In April 2023, the commitment fees for the Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility were reduced as a result of achieving certain ESG metrics.
