• Hinz Maas, SVP, Operations at Cheniere Energy (LNG), had 2,090 restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on Feb 11, 2026. Those vested units were valued at about $418,084 (2,090 × $200.04): 1,267 shares were surrendered/converted and resulted in cash proceeds of $253,451 (disposition to issuer at $200.04), and 823 shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax withholding valued at $164,633. At the same time the Reporting Person was granted 7,749 new RSUs (no cash value at grant).

Context

• This was not an open-market sale but a routine settlement of vested RSUs: part of the vested units were converted/settled and either paid out or withheld for taxes (common for equity compensation). The new RSU grant vests over the next three years and can be settled in shares or cash. These actions reflect compensation administration rather than an outright directional trade signal.
