HOUSTON, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheniere Energy, Inc. ("Cheniere") (NYSE MKT: LNG) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cheniere Corpus Christi Holdings, LLC ("CCH"), has upsized and priced its previously announced offering of Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "CCH 2027 Notes"). The principal amount of the offering has been increased from the initially announced $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. The CCH 2027 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum and will mature on June 30, 2027. The CCH 2027 Notes are priced at par and the closing of the offering is expected to occur on May 19, 2017.

CCH intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions and certain provisions, costs, prepayment premiums, fees and expenses) to prepay a portion of the principal amounts currently outstanding under CCH's term loan credit facility (the "CCH Credit Facility"). The CCH 2027 Notes will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of CCH and its subsidiaries and by a pledge of all of the equity interests in CCH and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of CCH, including borrowings under the CCH Credit Facility, its outstanding senior secured notes due 2024, senior secured notes due 2025, and its obligations under its working capital facility.

The offer of the CCH 2027 Notes has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the CCH 2027 Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale of these securities would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
