SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

Our 2025 CQP Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries other than SPL and, subject to certain conditions governing the release of its guarantee, Sabine Pass LNG-LP, LLC (the “CQP Guarantors”). These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions including (1) the sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors, (2) upon the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor, (3) following the release of a Guarantor from its guarantee obligations and (4) upon the legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of obligations under the CQP Indenture. See Note 11—Debt for additional information regarding the 2025 CQP Senior Notes.

The following is condensed consolidating financial information for CQP (“Parent Issuer”), the CQP Guarantors on a combined basis and SPL (“Non-Guarantor”). We have accounted for investments in subsidiaries using the equity method.
