(1)                                 Estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act. The price per share and aggregate offering price are based on the average of the high and low sales prices of the registrant’s common stock on November 16, 2010, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

(2)                                 Previously paid.

(3)                                 This amount represents shares of common stock of Cloud Peak Energy Inc. to be offered by the selling shareholders from time to time after the effective date of this registration statement. Such shares are issuable upon the exercise by the selling shareholders of the selling shareholders’ right to require Cloud Peak Energy Resources LLC to redeem their common membership units of Cloud Peak Energy Resources LLC and the subsequent exercise by Cloud Peak Energy Inc. of its assumption right and election to acquire such common membership units for its common stock granted pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of Cloud Peak Energy Resources LLC.

(4)                                 All of the shares will be offered by the selling shareholders. Accordingly, this registration statement includes an indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock of Cloud Peak Energy Inc. issuable for no additional consideration pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving the common stock of Cloud Peak Energy Inc., in order to prevent dilution, the number of shares registered shall be automatically increased to cover the additional shares in accordance with Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act.

 

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify its officers, directors and other corporate agents to the extent and under the circumstances set forth therein. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in accordance with provisions corresponding to Section 145 of the DGCL. These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s executive officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

 

Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of a director to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising:

 

·                  from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

 

·                  from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

·                  under Section 174 of the DGCL; and

 

·                  from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

The above discussion of Section 145 of the DGCL and of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by Section 145 of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws.

 

As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, we will carry primary and excess insurance policies insuring our directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors

and officers. Under the policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may also pay amounts for which we granted indemnification to our directors and officers.

 

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

In connection with our incorporation on July 31, 2008 under the laws of the State of Delaware, we issued one share of our common stock to RTA for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. This security was offered and sold by us in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

(ii)                                  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)                               To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2)                                  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)                                  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)                                 The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the

 

II-6



 

prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

 

(c)                                  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d)                                 The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)                                  That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)                                  That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
