In February 2026, our Board approved an increase in our share repurchase authorization to approximately $10 billion from 2026 through 2030 with a $9 billion increase to the existing authorization. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $9.7 billion remaining under our share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase authorization, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The timing and amount of any shares of Cheniere’s common stock that are repurchased under the share repurchase authorization will be determined by Cheniere’s management based on market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase authorization does not obligate Cheniere to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time or from time to time at Cheniere’s discretion.
