Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Shareholder Update, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of us are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and developments and our future
performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of these laws. Forward looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding market activity,
synergies that may be realized from the acquisition of International Resource Partners LP (IRP), demand for and trends related to
metallurgical coal and thermal coal and all guidance figures. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: a change in the demand for coal by electric utility
customers; the loss of one or more of our largest customers; inability to secure new coal supply agreements or to extend existing coal supply
agreements at market prices; our dependency on railroads for transportation of a large percentage of our products; failure to exploit additional
coal reserves; the risk that reserve estimates are inadequate; failure to diversify our operations; increased capital expenditures; encountering
difficult mining conditions; increased costs of complying with mine health and safety regulations; bottlenecks or other difficulties in transporting
coal to our customers; delays in the development of new mining projects; increased cost of raw materials; the effects of litigation, regulation
and competition; lack of availability of financing sources; our compliance with debt covenants; the risk that we are unable to successfully
integrate acquired assets into the business; our cash flows, results of operation or financial condition; the consummation of acquisition,
disposition or financing transactions and the effect thereof on our business; governmental policies and regulatory actions; legal and
administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims; weather conditions or catastrophic weather-related damage; our
production capabilities; availability of transportation; market demand for coal, electricity and steel; competition; our relationships with, and
other conditions affecting, our customers; employee workforce factors; our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve
estimates; future economic or capital market conditions; our plans and objectives for future operations and expansion or consolidation; our
ability to integrate successfully operations that we have or may acquire or develop in the future, including those of IRP, or the risk that any
such integration could be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the consummation of financing transactions, acquisitions or
dispositions and the related effects on our business; uncertainty of our expected financial performance following completion of the IRP
acquisition; disruption from the IRP acquisition making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; and
the other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s management believes that
these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These statements are
based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
