Closed the merger with Arch Resources: issued about 25 million shares (46% of the combined company) to Arch holders, renamed itself Core Natural Resources, Inc., and switched its NYSE ticker from CEIX to CNR. The board grew to 8 members with Jimmy Brock as Executive Chairman and Arch's Paul Lang as CEO. In the same transaction the company expanded its revolving credit facility from $355 million to $600 million, now secured by the combined company's key assets including the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, the CONSOL Marine Terminal, Arch's Itmann Mining Complex, and 1.3 billion tons of reserves and resources.

19 Apr 2021debt financing● Neutral
Borrowed $75 million via tax-exempt Pennsylvania development bonds at a fixed 9% rate to fund refuse-handling and waste-disposal upgrades at its Bailey coal preparation plant - a relatively expensive financing that reflects the tight capital-market conditions coal producers faced at the time.

27 Nov 2020business combination● NeutralMajor
Amendment No. 1 to the registration for CONSOL Energy's buy-in of CONSOL Coal Resources, adding the legality opinion and setting the timetable: November 27, 2020 record dates on both sides and a virtual CONSOL shareholder meeting on December 29. It also put a number on the parent's grip - CONSOL already owned 60.7% of the partnership's units - against terms of 0.73 CONSOL shares per public unit, which leaves former unitholders with about 23.4% of the voting power and no appraisal rights.
13 Nov 2020business combination● NeutralMajor
CONSOL Energy registered the shares to buy in the public unitholders of CONSOL Coal Resources, the partnership it already controlled, at 0.73 CONSOL shares per unit -- folding a separately listed vehicle back into the parent at a fixed ratio the minority had no ability to negotiate.

11 June 2020debt financing▼ BadMajor
With the pandemic hitting coal demand, CONSOL's lenders loosened its debt limits rather than tightened them: the first-lien leverage ceiling went back up from the 1.75x then in force to 2.50x for the next year, returning to 1.75x only by mid-2022. In exchange it pays 0.5 percentage points more, may not sit on more than $50 million of spare cash, and faces tighter limits on buybacks, dividends and second-lien note repurchases.
2 Apr 2020material agreement● Neutral
Extended the receivables securitization facility again, this time to March 2023, with the $100 million size and interest rate unchanged.
