Long-term Capital Structure Plan . Utilize leverage capacity at CQP and CEI (the corporate levels) to delever SPL and CCH (the project levels) over the next 5-10 years . Debt incurrence test will force the deleveraging of SPL and CCH over time at 1.5x/1.4x DSCR . By migrating project debt up to CQP and CEI (subject to target ~4.0x decon. debt / EBITDA constraint), project level debt amortization requirements can be pushed out to the mid to late 2020s . Plan maximizes value to equity holders while adhering to indenture amortization requirements at the project levels . Investment grade ratings at the project levels and strong high yield (“HY”) ratings (BB / Ba) at the corporate levels can be achieved and maintained . This framework provides CEI significant free cash flow to invest and grow which can further defer substantial debt pay down, while at the same time returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases and/or dividends By taking advantage of leverage capacity at the corporate levels, project level debt amortization not required until the mid to late 2020s, even with no growth beyond 8 trains 33
