CNX Resources Corporation Announces Private Offering of $400 Million of Senior Notes

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12, 2024 - CNX Resources Corp. (NYSE: CNX) ("CNX," "we" or "our") today announced that it intends, subject to market and other conditions, to offer and sell in a private placement to eligible purchasers $400 million of senior notes due 2032 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be guaranteed by all of CNX's restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its revolving credit facility.

Concurrently with this offering, we commenced a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash any and all of our 7.250% senior notes due 2027 (our "2027 Notes") validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The Tender Offer is made only by and pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase. Additionally, concurrently with this offering and the commencement of the Tender Offer, we issued a conditional notice to redeem all 2027 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer (the "Redemption"). The Tender Offer and the Redemption are each conditioned on the consummation of this offering.

CNX intends to use the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes to (i) purchase any and all of its outstanding 2027 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer, (ii) to the extent any 2027 Notes remain outstanding after the Tender Offer, fund the Redemption and (iii) repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility, with any remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(NYSE: CNX) is a premier, ultra-low carbon intensive natural gas development, production, midstream, and technology company centered in Appalachia, one of the most energy abundant regions in the world. With the benefit of a 160-year regional legacy, substantial asset base, leading core operational competencies, technology development and innovation, and astute capital allocation methodologies, we responsibly develop our resources and deploy free cash flow to create long-term per share value for our shareholders, employees, and the communities where we operate.

This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any 2027 Notes in the Tender Offer, nor does it constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2027 Notes.

Various statements in this release, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, may be considered forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. When we use the words "believe," "intend," "expect," "may," "should," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "plan," "predict," "project," "will" or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the factors discussed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Risk Factors," which is on file at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
