Background

On June 1, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 28, 2011, Mountain Merger Sub, Inc. (“Mountain Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alpha”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into Massey Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (“Massey”), with Massey continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Guarantee and Collateral Agreement

As previously reported, on May 19, 2011, in connection with the Merger, Alpha entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and as collateral agent, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Union Bank, N.A. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as co-documentation agents, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as sole syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and various other financial institutions, as lenders.

In connection with the New Credit Agreement, certain of Alpha’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, including Massey and certain of Massey’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of June 1, 2011 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), pursuant to which all obligations under the New Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, and all obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of Alpha’s assets and the assets of the Guarantors, including, in each case subject to customary exceptions and exclusions:

 

   

a first-priority pledge of all the equity interests owned by Alpha and the Guarantors (other than equity interests pledged to secure indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition of certain restricted subsidiaries); provided that, in no event shall more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting equity interests of any foreign subsidiary be pledged, and

 

   

a first-priority security interest in substantially all of Alpha’s and the Guarantors’ other tangible and intangible assets, including accounts (other than certain receivable assets), inventory, equipment, investment property, contract rights, intellectual property and proceeds of the foregoing; provided that, in no event shall any security interests be granted in any Excluded Assets (as defined in the New Credit Agreement).

Additionally, the obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain real property of Alpha and the Guarantors.

This description of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

New Notes Indenture and the New Senior Notes

On June 1, 2011, Alpha, the Guarantors and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) and a first supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “New Notes Indenture”) governing Alpha’s newly issued 6% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and 6.25% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes” and, together with the 2019 Notes, the “New Senior Notes”).

The 2019 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011, and will mature on June 1, 2019. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011, and will mature on June 1, 2021.

The New Senior Notes are Alpha’s senior unsecured obligations, ranking senior in right of payment to all of Alpha’s future debt that is subordinated in right of payment to the New Senior Notes and ranking equally in right of payment with all of Alpha’s existing and future debt that is not subordinated in right of payment to the New Senior Notes. Each Guarantor’s guarantee of the New Senior Notes is an unsecured obligation of that Guarantor, ranking senior in right of payment to all of that Guarantor’s future debt that is subordinated in right of payment to that Guarantor’s guarantee and ranking equally in right of payment with all of that Guarantor’s existing and future debt that is not subordinated in right of payment to that Guarantor’s guarantee. The New Senior Notes are effectively junior to all of Alpha’s and the Guarantors’ secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that debt. The New Senior Notes are also subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of Alpha’s non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables and lease obligations.

Alpha may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, at a price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. Alpha may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months commencing June 1, 2014, at 103.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, at any time during the twelve months commencing June 1, 2015, at 101.500% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, and at any time after June 1, 2016, at 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. In addition, Alpha may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the applicable redemption date, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 notes originally issued under the New Notes Indenture remains outstanding after the redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Alpha may redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2016, at a price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. Alpha may redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months commencing June 1, 2016, at 103.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, at any time during the twelve months commencing June 1, 2017, at 102.083% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, at any time during the twelve months commencing June 1, 2018, at 101.042% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, and at any time after June 1, 2019, at 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. In addition, Alpha may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at any time prior to June 1, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the applicable redemption date if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 notes originally issued under the New Notes Indenture remains outstanding after the redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event with respect to either series of New Senior Notes, unless Alpha has exercised its right to redeem those New Senior Notes, Alpha will be required to offer to repurchase each holder’s New Senior Notes of such series at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, Alpha’s ability to:

 

   

incur, or permit its subsidiaries to incur, additional debt;

 

   

issue, or permit its subsidiaries to issue, certain types of stock;

 

   

pay dividends on Alpha’s or its subsidiaries’ capital stock or repurchase our capital stock;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;

 

   

incur liens on certain assets to secure debt;

 

   

limit dividends or other payments by its restricted subsidiaries to Alpha and its other restricted subsidiaries;

 

   

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets; and

 

   

make certain payments on Alpha’s or its subsidiaries’ subordinated debt.

These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. These covenants may not apply at any time after the New Senior Notes are assigned a credit grade rating of at least BB+ (stable) from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and of at least Ba1 (stable) from Moody’s Investor Service, Inc.

On June 1, 2011, in connection with the Merger, Alpha, the Guarantors, Massey, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Massey and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) to the New Notes Indenture pursuant to which Massey and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Massey agreed to guarantee the New Senior Notes.

On June 1, 2011, in connection with the Merger, Alpha, Massey, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Massey and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, entered into a Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Sixth Supplemental Indenture”) to that certain Senior Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Base Indenture”), dated as of August 12, 2008, as supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of August 12, 2008, as further supplemented by that Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Second Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of July 20, 2009, as further supplemented by that Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Third Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of August 28, 2009, as further supplemented by that Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of April 30, 2010, and as further supplemented by that Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Massey Convertible Notes Fifth Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of June 29, 2010 (collectively, the “Massey Convertible Notes Indenture”), which governs the terms of Massey’s outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes (the “Massey Convertible Notes”), pursuant to which Alpha, among other things:

 

   

agreed to provide a guarantee of the Massey Convertible Notes; and

 

   

agreed to adjust the conversion rights in connection with the Merger such that Massey Convertible Notes will be henceforth convertible into a combination of common stock of Alpha and cash.

Massey Convertible Notes

As described above, on June 1, 2011, in connection with the Merger, Alpha became a guarantor under the Massey Convertible Notes Indenture. Pursuant to this indenture, as a result of the Merger:

 

   

the Massey Convertible Notes became convertible on May 2, 2011 and will remain convertible through a period ending no sooner than July 2, 2011 and no later than August 3, 2011;

 

   

at the Effective Time, a previously deferred adjustment will be applied to the Conversion Rate applicable to the Massey Convertible Notes (the “Conversion Rate”), resulting in a Conversion Rate of 11.4560 (before giving effect to any “Make-Whole Premium”);

 

   

from the Effective Time through a period ending no sooner than July 21, 2011 and no later than July 29, 2011, holders that convert Massey Convertible Notes will be entitled to receive an increased Conversion Rate including a “Make-Whole Premium”, resulting in an adjusted Conversion Rate of 16.2349;

 

   

from and after the Effective Time, the consideration deliverable upon conversion of a Massey Convertible Note will cease to be based upon Massey shares and will instead be based upon the “Reference Property” that has replaced the Massey shares (1.025 shares of Alpha common stock plus $10.00 per share of Massey common stock);

 

   

as a result of the changes described above, the consideration delivered upon any conversion of $1,000 principal amount of Massey Convertible Notes will be based upon 16.6408 shares of Alpha common stock and $162.35, taking the “Make-Whole Premium” into account, or 11.7424 shares of alpha common stock and $114.56, without taking the “Make-Whole Premium” into account; and

 

   

from the date that notice is sent to the holders, which will be no sooner than the Effective Time and no later than June 29, through the period ending no sooner than June 21, 2011 and no later than August 3, 2011 (the “Repurchase Date”), holders will have the right to require Massey to repurchase any outstanding Massey Convertible Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Massey Convertible Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Repurchase Date.

This description of the Massey Convertible Notes Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Massey Convertible Notes Base Indenture, the Massey Convertible Notes First Supplemental Indenture, the Massey Convertible Notes Second Supplemental Indenture, the Massey Convertible Notes Third Supplemental Indenture, the Massey Convertible Notes Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Massey Convertible Notes Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the Massey Convertible Notes Sixth Supplemental Indenture which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

For more information, see the New Credit Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.13 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and as approved by our stockholders on June 1, 2011, Alpha filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for an increase in the number of shares of Alpha stock from 210,000,000 shares (divided into 200,000,000 shares of common stock of par value $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share) to 410,000,000 shares (divided into 400,000,000 shares of common stock of par value $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share). This amendment reflects the change contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Our Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
