HOUSTON, Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”) (NYSE MKT: LNG) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing”) has entered into a 5-year Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with ENGIE S.A. for the delivery of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) cargoes on an ex-ship basis (“DES”) primarily to the Montoir de Bretagne LNG regasification terminal in France. The SPA covers the delivery of up to 12 cargoes per year, or up to approximately 222 million MMBtus in total, from 2018 to 2023. Cheniere Marketing will sell the volumes at contract prices linked to Northern European indices.

Volumes will be sourced from Cheniere Marketing’s global LNG supply portfolio, which includes rights under separate SPAs with Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC and Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC to purchase any LNG produced from the Sabine Pass andCorpus Christi liquefaction projects in excess of that required for other customers. On a combined basis, Cheniere Marketing’s LNG portfolio is expected to have approximately 9 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of LNG available from the nine liquefaction trains being developed at Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi.

“This SPA with ENGIE furthers our strategy of supplying LNG to European markets and diversifies our marketing portfolio with sales tied to Northern European price indices. Deliveries are expected to be made to the Montoir de Bretagne LNG terminal or to alternative delivery points as determined by our customer,” said Charif Souki, Chairman and CEO of Cheniere.
