The following are excerpts from the transcript of CONSOL Energy Inc.’s (“CONSOL”) conference call on November 5, 2024 regarding CONSOL’s third quarter 2024 earnings. The excerpts below contain only those portions of the transcript relating to the proposed merger of CONSOL and Arch Resources, Inc.

Jimmy Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: Let me now provide an update on the proposed merger with Arch Resources. Both teams continue to work very hard toward achieving approval. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired on October 11, and we also obtained final clearance of the proposed merger from Brazil, Poland and China, with the last required approval received in October, satisfying all antitrust regulatory closing conditions for the transaction. With respect to the SEC review, the Form S-4 was filed on October 1st and CONSOL and Arch Resources are working toward obtaining shareholder approval for the proposed merger. We still anticipate closing to occur by the end of Q1 ‘25.

For the remainder of 2024, we will be focused on a few key areas that we believe will set us up for success moving forward:

*************

The CONSOL team, in tandem with the Arch Resources team, continues to work diligently toward a successful and timely closing of the proposed merger and developing a smooth transition plan for Core Natural Resources. I am very grateful for their hard work and extremely excited to formally combine two great teams in the coming months.
