Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 18, 2015, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality notified Peabody Energy Corporation (the “Company’) through its applicable subsidiaries that the state has completed its review of self-bonding related to permits that were under renewal for the North Antelope Rochelle and Rawhide surface mines, and reaffirmed self-bonding eligibility for both permits.

As part of the Company’s normal operations in the United States, the Company is required to reclaim mined lands.  The Company fully accounts for the ongoing cost of land restoration, as well as the present value of liabilities associated with final land restoration, within our financial statements.  The Company also provides financial assurance for its reclamation obligations through a mix of self-bonding, commercial surety bonds, bank guarantees and letters of credit.
