American: LNG) announced today that its subsidiary, Cheniere
Marketing, LLC (“Cheniere Marketing”), has entered into a binding
liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”)

free-on-board basis for a term of approximately 13 years beginning
in April 2023. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is indexed
to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee.
“We are pleased to announce this long-term SPA with Glencore,
one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of commodities
and a significant player in the global LNG market,” said Jack
Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This
agreement once again reinforces Cheniere’s position as a leading
global LNG provider, and we look forward to a successful long-term
relationship with Glencore. This SPA further builds upon Cheniere’s
commercial momentum, marking another important milestone in
contracting our LNG capacity ahead of an FID of Corpus Christi
Stage 3, which we expect to occur next year.”
The Corpus Christi Stage 3 project is being developed to include
up to seven midscale liquefaction trains with a total expected
nominal production capacity of approximately 10 mtpa. It has
received all necessary regulatory approvals.
