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).
