Summary

Summary of the 10-K/A filed May 26, 2004. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for Cheniere Energy, Inc.'s fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 contains no financial statements, operating results, or updated business disclosures.

It was filed on May 26, 2004 solely to amend the Exhibit Index in Item 15(a)(3) to incorporate by reference Exhibit 10.26, a warrant issued to Charif Souki on April 16, 2003 that had been omitted from the June 30, 2003 Form 10-Q. The explanatory note states that no other changes were made and that the amendment does not update disclosures for later developments. The original 10-K was filed March 25, 2004.

For investors, the document's substantive value is limited to context from the cover page and exhibit list. As of February 29, 2004, 18,659,994 common shares were outstanding. Non-affiliate market value was approximately $66.2 milliona as of June 30, 2003.

The company is listed on the American Stock Exchange and was not an accelerated filer. The exhibit list points to the company's 2003 LNG and energy development activity, including the Freeport LNG partnership with ConocoPhillips, the Corpus Christi LNG limited partnership with BPU LNG, and a July 2003 credit agreement with Sterling Bank. Investors seeking financial performance, risk factors, or business strategy should review the original Form 10-K filed March 25, 2004, which this amendment does not replace in substance.

Key Highlights

  1. The filing is a narrow amendment that only updates the Item 15 Exhibit Index to add Exhibit 10.26 (Warrant to Purchase Common Stock issued to Charif Souki, April 16, 2003); no other content changed.
  2. The amendment does not include financial statements, revenue, earnings, or cash flow data for fiscal 2003; those appear in the original 10-K filed March 25, 2004.
  3. As of February 29, 2004, Cheniere had 18,659,994 common shares outstanding, and non-affiliate market value was about $66.18 million as of June 30, 2003.
  4. Cheniere common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange, and the company was not an accelerated filer for this period.
  5. Exhibits reference significant 2003 transactions, including the Freeport LNG partnership amendments, the December 20, 2003 Omnibus Agreement with ConocoPhillips, and the Corpus Christi LNG limited partnership formed May 15, 2003 with BPU LNG.
  6. A July 25, 2003 Credit Agreement with Sterling Bank, later amended October 24, 2003, is incorporated by reference, indicating the company's debt financing arrangements during the year.
  7. The amendment was signed May 26, 2004 by CEO Charif Souki, CFO Don A. Turkleson, the Controller, and the board members listed in the filing.
