Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 6 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 is hereby amended by replacing the prior Exhibit 99.1 with the Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

On December 16, 2016, the Reporting Person acquired 3,252,800 Common Shares of the Issuer in privately negotiated transactions with Falcon Edge Global Master Fund, LP (“Falcon Edge”) and certain funds associated with Carlson Capital LP (together, “Carlson”) pursuant to share purchase and exchange agreements dated December 16, 2016 (the “SPAs”). The Reporting Person agreed to purchase, and Falcon Edge agreed to sell, 2,327,800 Common Shares of the Issuer in exchange for unregistered shares of common stock of the Reporting Person, par value $.003 (the “Cheniere Stock”), at an exchange ratio of 0.5205 shares of Cheniere Stock for each Common Share of the Issuer. The Reporting Person agreed to purchase, and Carlson agreed to sell, 925,000 Common Shares of the Issuer in exchange for unregistered shares of Cheniere Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.5205 shares of Cheniere Stock for each Common Share of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission by the Reporting Person that, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, it is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D other than securities owned of record by such Reporting Person.

Except as indicated in this Item 5 or as set forth in Exhibit 99.1, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the persons named in Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D owns beneficially, or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares.
