Forward Looking Statements This document includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Contura's expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond Contura’s control. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • the financial performance of the company following the mergers with Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. and ANR, Inc.; • our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition; • depressed levels or declines in coal prices; • worldwide market demand for coal, steel, and electricity, including demand for U.S. coal exports, and competition in coal markets; • utilities switching to alternative energy sources such as natural gas, renewables and coal from basins where we do not operate; • reductions or increases in customer coal inventories and the timing of those changes; • our production capabilities and costs; • inherent risks of coal mining beyond our control; • changes in, interpretations of, or implementations of domestic or international tax or other laws and regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its related regulations. • changes in domestic or international environmental laws and regulations, and court decisions, including those directly affecting our coal mining and production, and those affecting our customers’ coal usage, including potential climate change initiatives; • our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers, including the inability to collect payments from our customers if their creditworthiness declines; • changes in, renewal or acquisition of, terms of and performance of customers under coal supply arrangements and the refusal by our customers to receive coal under agreed contract terms; • our ability to obtain, maintain or renew any necessary permits or rights, and our ability to mine properties due to defects in title on leasehold interests; • attracting and retaining key personnel and other employee workforce factors, such as labor relations; • funding for and changes in employee benefit obligations; • cybersecurity attacks or failures, threats to physical security, extreme weather conditions or other natural disasters; • reclamation and mine closure obligations; • our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve estimates; • our ability to negotiate new United Mine Workers of America wage agreements on terms acceptable to us, increased unionization of our workforce in the future, and any strikes by our workforce; • disruptions in delivery or changes in pricing from third party vendors of key equipment and materials that are necessary for our operations, such as diesel fuel, steel products, explosives and tires; • inflationary pressures on supplies and labor and significant or rapid increases in commodity prices; • railroad, barge, truck and other transportation availability, performance and costs; • disruption in third party coal supplies; • the consummation of financing or refinancing transactions, acquisitions or dispositions and the related effects on our business and financial position; • our indebtedness and potential future indebtedness; • our ability to generate sufficient cash or obtain financing to fund our business operations; and • our ability to obtain or renew surety bonds on acceptable terms or maintain our current bonding status.
