SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZES

$100 MILLION SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Lisle, IL (November 5, 2019) – SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today announced that the Board of Directors has authorized a new $100 million share repurchase program for SunCoke’s common stock. Repurchases under the new program may commence following completion of SunCoke’s existing stock repurchase program, previously approved on July 23, 2014 and amended on January 26, 2015.

Under this program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion and will depend upon a number of factors including, among other things, the market price of SunCoke common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with the terms of SunCoke’s outstanding indebtedness.

Since early August, SunCoke has repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares through November 1 under the existing share repurchase program, including approximately 2.1 million shares repurchased during the third quarter.

As of November 1, 2019, SunCoke had approximately $16.5 million remaining in its existing stock repurchase program.
