Safe Harbor Statements Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities

“forward-looking statements” are, among other things:
• statements regarding the ability of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. to pay distributions to its unitholders or Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, LLC or Cheniere Energy, Inc. to pay dividends to its
shareholders or participate in share or unit buybacks;
• statements regarding Cheniere Energy, Inc.’s, Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, LLC’s or Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.’s expected receipt of cash distributions from their respective subsidiaries;
• statements that Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. expects to commence or complete construction of its proposed liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) terminals, liquefaction facilities, pipeline facilities or other projects,
or any expansions or portions thereof, by certain dates or at all;
• statements that Cheniere Energy, Inc. expects to commence or complete construction of its proposed LNG terminals, liquefaction facilities, pipeline facilities or other projects, or any expansions or portions then
of, by certain dates or at all;
• statements regarding future levels of domestic and international natural gas production, supply or consumption or future levels of LNG imports into or exports from North America and other countries worldwide,
or purchases of natural gas, regardless of the source of such information, or the transportation or other infrastructure, or demand for and prices related to natural gas, LNG or other hydrocarbon products;
• statements regarding any financing transactions or arrangements, or ability to enter into such transactions;
• statements relating to the construction of our proposed liquefaction facilities and natural gas liquefaction trains (“Trains”) and the construction of the Corpus Christi Pipeline, including statements concerning the
engagement of any engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contractor or other contractor and the anticipated terms and provisions of any agreement with any EPC or other contractor, and
anticipated costs related thereto;
• statements regarding any agreement to be entered into or performed substantially in the future, including any revenues anticipated to be received and the anticipated timing thereof, and statements regarding
the amounts of total LNG regasification, natural gas, liquefaction or storage capacities that are, or may become, subject to contracts;
• statements regarding counterparties to our commercial contracts, construction contracts and other contracts;
• statements regarding our planned development and construction of additional Trains or pipelines, including the financing of such Trains or pipelines;
• statements that our Trains, when completed, will have certain characteristics, including amounts of liquefaction capacities;

U.S. Natural Gas Production Continues to Evolve
Recent evolution
• Larger wells: average initial production (IP) rates have
more than tripled since 2009
• Longer laterals: average horizontal feet drilled in
Marcellus have doubled since 2009
• Multi-stage fracking: producers have increased number
of stages used in hydraulic fracturing process
• Innovation: operational efficiencies improving drill times
Future evolution - continued technological
advances to reduce costs and increase
efficiencies
• Data processing, better software modelling and real time
monitoring to help with well spacing, space staging,
completion engineering…
• Enhanced recovery factors by experimenting with pump
fluids and recovery methods
• Targeted and steered drilling to make more precise cuts
into deep terrain
• Extracting from multiple benches of production within
same play
• Non-intrusive technologies such as micro-seismic
geophones and electromagnetics.

Opportunities
Demand for gas in Asia set to nearly triple over coming decades
New markets, new buyers and new demand segments for LNG emerging in the region
A more liquid and more responsive global LNG trade will make gas more attractive
But gas growth in Asia should not be taken for granted …..
Challenges
Demand uncertainty a common theme across Asia as energy transition and market liberalisations gather pace

10 Ways U.S. LNG is Changing the Global Market
1. Significant new supply source reduces the market power of incumbents
2. Competitive cost sets price marker for new LNG supplies
3. Transparent pricing improves price discovery
4. Destination flexible supply reduces the rigidity of current trade
5. Growth in liquidity will result in development of trading and risk management tools …
6. … and aid the formation of LNG trade hubs in Asia
7. Volume flexibility provides buyers a ‘safety valve’ on supply commitments
8. HH indexed pricing weakens the influence of oil price on the global gas market
9. HH pricing construct reduces pricing volatility
10. Increasing influence of US energy diplomacy
42
Flexibility Liquidity Transparency A more competitive
and resilient trade
system
IEEJ:November 2017 © IEEJ2017
Drivers
Significant supply at ‘open market’ location
(USGC)
LNG & gas hub initiatives in Asia
New players interested in new instruments
Increase in flexible supply
Any significant disconnect between spot and
term prices
Inhibitors
× Limited buyer-seller alignment
× Current low industry liquidity
× Lack of consensus on location for an Asian LNG
hub
• Market access
• Deregulated Pricing
• Multiple Buyers / Sellers
× Existing long-term contracts
× Established pricing indexes
× Quality constraints
× Storage constraints
× Financing secured through long-term oil indexed
/ HH-plus contracts
43
Will a Liquid Hub for LNG Form Over the Next Decade?
Inhibitors will likely not stop Asian hubs from forming –
but will determine pace and location of hub developments

Summing Up
Flexible U.S. LNG ramping up and responding to global market signals
U.S. LNG has already changed the industry. Providing buyers with;
Price diversification and transparency
Destination flexibility
Increased supply availability and market competition
A sustainably low-cost supply over the long-run
And is set to drive further change
Growing liquidity / hub formation / price discovery
Resulting in a more competitive and more resilient trade system
Buyers can enjoy and capitalize on these functions of U.S. LNG in a direct manner
But Buyers and Sellers will have to work together to achieve the commercial bargain
required to bring on new supply under current low-price conditions
Cheniere able to move quickly to expand its platform with two permitted brownfield
trains, plus enough land at both sites to allow for significant further expansion
