Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Public Common Unit was converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares of CNX Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Persons collectively are the beneficial owners of all of the Common Units of the Issuer.
Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer’s Common Units ceased to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
