These distributions are payable on August 14, 2024.

Publicly traded partnerships that earn net income in a calendar year that is effectively connected with the conduct of a US trade or business are generally required to withhold US income tax from distributions paid to foreign persons. The portion of our quarterly cash distributions that are paid to foreign persons will generally be subject to US withholding tax.

This press release serves as qualified notice to nominees as provided for under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4 and 1.446(f)-4. Please note that 100 percent of Cheniere Partners’ distributions to foreign investors are attributable to income that is effectively connected with a US trade or business and subject to withholding under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1446-1 – 1.1446-6. Accordingly, all of Cheniere Partners’ distributions to foreign investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable effective tax rate. Furthermore, 100 percent of Cheniere Partners’ distributions to foreign investors is in excess of cumulative net income for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii). Nominees are treated as withholding agents responsible for withholding distributions received by them on behalf of foreign investors.
