EX-4.1 2 d76657dex41.htm EX-4.1 EX-4.1 Exhibit 4.1 CHENIERE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. as Partnership, and any Subsidiary Guarantors party hereto and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as Trustee ELEVENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE Dated as of June 9, 2026 to Indenture dated as of September 18,
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
By amending the base indenture and establishing a new series of 5.350% senior notes due 2036, the filing can influence perceived leverage, covenant constraints, and future refinancing optionality.
Market read
Debt-structure documentation for CQP (new long-dated notes and amended indenture terms) is credit-relevant but lacks key deal-size details in the provided excerpt.
What to watch
Traders should look for the missing details in the full exhibit (note principal amount, use of proceeds, and any changes to collateral/guarantee mechanics) to judge whether this is refinancing-neutral or balance-sheet additive.
Background
The 8-K attaches an eleventh supplemental indenture dated June 9, 2026 to the 2017 base indenture, executed by CQP and subsidiary guarantors with The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee.
Ticker impact
CQP filed an 8-K for an eleventh supplemental indenture establishing a new series of 5.350% senior notes due 2036 and related credit terms.
Near-term price reaction is likely limited unless the note issuance size, proceeds, or covenant changes materially differ from expectations; otherwise treat as incremental credit-structure news.
The excerpt confirms a new series of notes and specific indenture amendments, but it does not provide issuance size, proceeds, or pricing—key inputs for estimating credit-spread and equity impact.
Market effects
Adds another data point on LNG midstream credit management via long-dated senior notes and indenture housekeeping.
No clear regional read-through beyond US credit markets.
Limited; this is primarily US capital-structure/covenant documentation.
Counterpoint
Indenture amendments may be largely technical (definitions/covenant wording) and not indicative of worsening credit; equity impact could be negligible absent new leverage or cash needs.
