     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") is filed on behalf
of Third Point LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Management
Company"), and Daniel S. Loeb, an individual ("Mr. Loeb" and, together with the
Management Company, the "Reporting Persons") and amends the original Schedule
13D filed on September 19, 2005 on behalf of the Reporting Persons (the
"Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value
$0.625 per share, of Massey Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the
"Common Stock" are to such common stock of the Company. The Management Company
is the investment manager or adviser to a variety of hedge funds and managed
accounts (such funds and accounts, collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds
directly own the Common Stock to which this Amendment No. 1 relates, and the
Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such Common
Stock by virtue of the authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to
dispose of the securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     The Funds expended an aggregate of approximately $228,766,324.73 of their
own investment capital to acquire the 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock held by
them (the "Shares"). Except as noted on Schedule A, the Shares were acquired in
open market purchases.

     The Funds effect purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts
maintained for them with Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. and Goldman, Sachs &
Co., which may extend margin credit to the Funds as and when required to open or
carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable Federal margin
regulations, stock exchange rules and the firm's credit policies. In such
instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral
security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following at
the end thereof:

     On March 15, 2006, Third Point Offshore Fund, Ltd. ("Third Point
Offshore"), one of the Funds, sent to the Company a notice pursuant to the
Company's bylaws stating that it intends to nominate, at the Company's 2006
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2006 Annual Meeting"), Mr. Loeb and Todd Q.
Swanson (the "Nominees") for election as directors of the Company. According to
the Company's proxy statement for its 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
2006 Annual Meeting is to be held on May 16, 2006. The Reporting Persons believe
that three directors are to be elected at the 2006 Annual Meeting and, in light
of the cumulative voting rights of stockholders, have determined to present two
nominees for election at the 2006 Annual Meeting.

     Third Point Offshore delivered its nominee notification because the
Reporting Persons believe that the Company has not performed well and has lost
sight of the concerns and interests of stockholders generally. The Reporting
Persons believe that the Company's board of directors (the "Board") should
include representatives of significant stockholders who can present
stockholders' perspectives on management direction, champion reform of
compensation, perquisites and management incentives, and generally bring focus
to the maximization of value for the benefit of stockholders. If elected to the
Board, the Nominees will seek to accelerate execution of the Company's stock
buyback program.

     In connection with the 2006 Annual Meeting, Third Point LLC and certain of
its affiliates intend to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") to solicit stockholders of the Company with respect to
the election of directors. THIRD POINT LLC STRONGLY ADVISES ALL STOCKHOLDERS OF
THE COMPANY TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT
WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE
PARTICIPANTS IN ANY SUCH PROXY SOLICITATION. SUCH PROXY STATEMENT, WHEN FILED,
AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE ON THE SEC'S
WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV.




THIRD POINT PARTICIPANT INFORMATION

     In accordance with Rule 14a-12(a)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, the following persons are anticipated to be, or may be deemed

Todd Q. Swanson ("Mr. Swanson"), Third Point Offshore Fund Ltd., Third Point
Partners LP, Third Point Ultra Ltd., Lyxor/Third Point Fund Ltd., Third Point
Partners Qualified LP, Third Point Resources LP and Third Point Resources Ltd.
Certain of these persons hold direct or indirect interests as follows: Third
Point LLC may be deemed to beneficially own 4,800,000 shares of the Company's
common stock ("Common Stock"); Mr. Daniel Loeb may be deemed to beneficially own
4,800,000 shares of Common Stock; Mr. Swanson does not beneficially own any
shares of Common Stock; Third Point Offshore Fund Ltd. owns 100 shares of Common
Stock and may be deemed to beneficially own another 2,705,300 shares of Common
Stock; Third Point Partners LP may be deemed to beneficially own 500,200 shares
of Common Stock; Third Point Ultra Ltd. may be deemed to beneficially own
502,300 shares of the Common Stock; Lyxor/Third Point Fund Ltd. may be deemed to
beneficially own 311,100 shares of Common Stock; Third Point Partners Qualified
LP may be deemed to beneficially own 291,200 shares of Common Stock; Third Point
Resources LP may be deemed to beneficially own 162,300 shares of Common Stock;
and Third Point Resources Ltd. may be deemed to beneficially own 327,500 shares
of Common Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     (a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons
beneficially own 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock. The Shares represent 5.9% of
the 81,939,989 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 3, 2006, as
reported in the Company's Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2006.

     None of the individual Funds owns a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to or greater than 5% of such total Common Stock outstanding.

     (b) The Management Company and Mr. Loeb share voting and dispositive power
over the 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds.

     (c) Schedule A hereto sets forth certain information with respect to
transactions by the Funds, at the direction of the Reporting Persons, in the
Common Stock during the past sixty days.

     All of the transactions set forth on Schedule A, except as may be otherwise
noted therein, were effected in open market purchases on the New York Stock
Exchange through a securities broker.

     Except as set forth on Schedule A, during the last sixty days there were no
transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the
best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general
partners or members.

     (d) Other than the Funds which directly hold the Shares, and except as set
forth in this Item 5, no person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Shares.

     (e) Not applicable.
