Forward Looking Statements
1
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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts,
included herein are “forward-looking statements.” Included among “forward-looking statements” are, among other things:
§ statements that we expect to commence or complete construction of a liquefaction facility by certain dates or at all;
§ statements that we expect to receive authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, or the Department of Energy, or
DOE, to construct and operate a proposed liquefaction facility by a certain date, or at all;
§ statements regarding future levels of domestic or foreign natural gas production and consumption, or the future level of LNG imports into North
America or exports from the U.S., or regarding projected future capacity of liquefaction or regasification facilities worldwide;
§ statements regarding any financing transactions or arrangements, whether on the part of Cheniere or at the project level;
§ statements regarding any commercial arrangements marketed or potential arrangements to be performed in the future, including any cash
distributions and revenues anticipated to be received;
§ statements regarding the commercial terms and potential revenues from activities described in this presentation;
§ statements that our proposed liquefaction facility, when completed, will have certain characteristics, including a number of trains;
§ statements regarding our business strategy, our business plan or any other plans, forecasts, examples, models, forecasts or objectives, any or all of
which are subject to change;
§ statements regarding estimated corporate overhead expenses; and
§ any other statements that relate to non-historical information.

These forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “achieve,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “example,”
“expect,” “forecast,” “opportunities,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “propose,” “subject to,” and similar terms and phrases. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these
expectations may prove to be incorrect. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of
this presentation. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of
factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” in the Cheniere Energy, Inc. and Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. Current Reports on Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2010, which are incorporated by reference into this presentation. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these ”Risk Factors”. These forward-looking

Expanding Operations - Liquefaction
Project*
Compelling Proposition
 § Market fundamentals create opportunity to expand into exports
 § Export services provide customers with an attractively priced option to
 access U.S. natural gas supply
 § Sabine Pass facility location is strategically situated
  Many existing assets in place needed for an export terminal reduces
 capital required, cost estimates comparable to liquefaction
 expansion economics
  Abundance of supply and existing infrastructure in surrounding
 regions, proximity to Henry Hub
 § Powerful tool for industry players to manage their portfolios
  Early indications of interest from both buyers and sellers of natural
 gas and LNG
 
 

 
 
Market Fundamentals Drive Liquefaction
Project
§ The U.S. has become the largest producer of natural gas in the world and
 production costs rank among the lowest
  Productive capacity at $6.50/MMBtu could reach 95 Bcf/d by 2020
§ U.S. natural gas demand not likely to keep pace with incremental supply as
 demand continues to lag market forecasts, threatening to lead to price
 volatility
§ Globally, a natural gas supply gap is projected to develop in 2014-15
  Key driver is decline of UK Continental Shelf production
  Exacerbates dependency of European consumers on imported gas
  Asian consumers highly dependent on imported LNG for gas supply
§ Simultaneously, global LNG and pipeline gas suppliers continue to enforce oil-
 price indexation in new contracts
  Key markets in Asia and Europe import over 70 Bcf/d of natural gas
  Imports forecast to increase by 26 Bcf/d over the next ten years

Delivered Costs Compare Favorably
to European Price Estimates
§ Assuming continued increase in U.S. natural gas production,
 unconventional gas economics effectively cap Henry Hub at mid-range of
 $6.50/MMBtu
§ If oil remains above $65/Bbl, Sabine Pass LNG is cheaper than oil-
 indexed pipeline gas in Europe on the margin, while forecast prices
 above $77/Bbl justify it on an all-in basis
 
 

 
 
Strong support from local and state agencies
Regulatory Process
§ Dual regulatory tracks with the DOE and FERC
  DOE regulates imports and exports of natural gas
  FERC coordinates federal and state review of proposals
 to build LNG terminals
§ Key regulatory and legislative issues
  NEPA empowers FERC as the lead Federal agency for
 preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
  Other Federal and State agency involvement on issues
§ Typical Approvals Timeline - ~18-21 months
  NEPA pre-filing initiated in July 2010
