Forward-Looking Statements
n Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provision of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, to
identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events
affecting us and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult
to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or
implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our
forward-looking statements: our ability to successfully refinance our outstanding indebtedness and reduce our leverage; market demand for coal,
electricity and steel; availability of qualified workers; future economic or capital market conditions; weather conditions or catastrophic weather-
related damage; our production capabilities; consummation of financing, acquisition or disposition transactions and the effect thereof on our
business; a significant number of conversions of our 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 prior to maturity; our plans and objectives for future
operations and expansion or consolidation; our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers; availability and costs of key
supplies or commodities, such as diesel fuel, steel, explosives and tires; availability and costs of capital equipment; prices of fuels which compete
with or impact coal usage, such as oil and natural gas; timing of reductions or increases in customer coal inventories; long-term coal supply
arrangements; reductions and/or deferrals of purchases by major customers; risks in or related to coal mining operations, including risks related to
third-party suppliers and carriers operating at our mines or complexes; unexpected maintenance and equipment failure; environmental, safety and
other laws and regulations, including those directly affecting our coal mining and production, and those affecting our customers’ coal usage; ability
to obtain and maintain all necessary governmental permits and authorizations; competition among coal and other energy producers in the United
States and internationally; railroad, barge, trucking and other transportation availability, performance and costs; employee benefits costs and labor
relations issues; replacement of our reserves; our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve estimates; availability and costs
of credit, surety bonds and letters of credit; title defects or loss of leasehold interests in our properties which could result in unanticipated costs or
inability to mine these properties; future legislation and changes in regulations or governmental policies or changes in interpretations or
enforcement thereof, including with respect to safety enhancements and environmental initiatives relating to global warming or climate change;
impairment of the value of our long-lived and deferred tax assets; our liquidity, including our ability to adhere to financial covenants related to our
borrowing arrangements; adequacy and sufficiency of our internal controls; and legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations
and claims and the availability of related insurance coverage.
n You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation or elsewhere speaks only as of the date on which the
statements were made. See also the “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC which are
currently available on our website at www.intlcoal.com. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict
these events or how they may affect us or our anticipated results. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any forward
-looking statement made in this presentation might not occur. All data presented herein is as of December 31, 2009 unless otherwise noted.
