natural gas (“LNG”) sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with POSCO
International Corporation (“POSCO International”), a subsidiary of

Under the SPA, POSCO International has agreed to purchase

beginning in late 2026. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is
indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee.
“We are pleased to enter into this long-term LNG contract with
POSCO International, a key player in the global industrial complex,
and we look forward to a successful, long-term relationship with
POSCO International as a customer,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “The signing of this SPA
further evidences the growing demand for long-term LNG supply and
highlights Cheniere’s leadership in providing flexible, cleaner
burning energy supply to meet both the energy security needs and
environmental goals of our customers. The SPA is expected to
provide additional support to the Corpus Christi Stage III Project,
on which we expect to reach FID this summer.”
The SPA is subject to Cheniere making a positive final
investment decision to construct the Corpus Christi Stage III
Project. The Corpus Christi Stage III Project is being developed to
include up to seven midscale liquefaction trains with a total
expected nominal production capacity of over 10 mtpa.
