Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
Penn Virginia Corporation, a Virginia corporation ("PVA"), indirectly owns 100% of the membership interests of Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, the general partner (the "General Partner") of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), and, accordingly, PVA appoints all of the directors of the General Partner.
On May 3, 2005, PVA decided to restructure the General Partner's Board of Directors (the "GP Board") and, in connection therewith, Marsha Reines Perelman was appointed, and Keith D. Horton ceased, to serve on the GP Board on such date. In addition, on May 3, 2005, Richard M. Whiting resigned from the GP Board. Mr. Whiting had served on the GP Board as the director designee of Peabody Energy Corporation ("Peabody") whose right to have such a designee appointed to the GP Board recently terminated when Peabody ceased to own at least 5% of the Partnership's issued and outstanding Common Units.
