PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1, 2023 - CNX Resources Corp. (NYSE: CNX) ("CNX" or "the company") today announced that Timothy S. Bedard will join the company this month as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary.

Mr. Bedard holds a BS in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, a Juris Doctor from the Duquesne University School of Law, and an MBA from Yale.

"We are incredibly excited for Tim to join our already deep and talented executive management team at CNX," commented Nick DeIuliis, President and CEO. "We continue to attract world-class talent across our executive management ranks, which I believe is a direct reflection of our best-in-class asset base and opportunity-set that affords our leaders the opportunity to create meaningful shareholder value. Tim's extensive expertise in IP and technology and significant depth of experience partnering with management teams will be a critical element in accelerating the growth of our New Tech business opportunities and the continued execution of our sustainable business model."

Tim is replacing former Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Alexander J. Reyes. CNX and Mr. Reyes have mutually agreed that he will separate from service without cause from the company later this month.
