DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to Registration Statement No. 333-205639 on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by CONSOL Coal Resources LP (formerly known as CNX Coal Resources, LP), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 13, 2015, pertaining to the registration of 2,300,000 common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership (“Common Units”) under the CNX Coal Resources LP 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
On November 2020, CONSOL Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and the owner of approximately 60.7% of the total Common Units outstanding prior to completion of the Merger (as defined herein), delivered a written consent approving the adoption of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Transformer LP Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdings”), Transformer Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger Sub”), the Partnership and CONSOL Coal Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, for and on behalf of the limited partners of the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership (the “Merger”), with the Partnership continuing and surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent following the Merger.
The Merger became effective on December 30, 2020, upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Partnership terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Partnership in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Partnership hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Partnership registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
