To the extent applicable, the disclosures in Item 7.01 below are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Peabody Energy Corporation (the “Company”), an ad hoc committee of holders (the “Noteholders”) of the Company’s 6.000% senior secured notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), and an ad hoc committee of lenders (the “Revolving Lenders”) under the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) entered into confidentiality agreements (as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreements”) and have been engaged in discussions relating to a potential transaction under which the Company is seeking to provide for maturity extensions and covenant relief, while maintaining sufficient operating liquidity and financial flexibility. The material terms of the potential transactions are set forth in the term sheets (the “Term Sheets”) included in the Cleansing Material (as defined below). At this time, no agreement has been reached among the Noteholders, the Revolving Lenders and the Company regarding a potential transaction.
Beginning on or around October 14, 2020, the Company commenced confidential discussions and negotiations under separate Confidentiality Agreements with the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders. As part of such discussions and negotiations, on October 14, 2020, the Company made presentations to the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders. On November 1, 2020, the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders made a joint counterproposal regarding a potential transaction. On the same day, the Company sent a revised proposal to the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders, and on November 4, 2020, the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders made another joint counterproposal to the Company regarding a potential transaction. The Company has informed the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders that the November 4, 2020 joint counterproposal is unacceptable to the Company.
In accordance with the Confidentiality Agreements, the Company is making disclosure herein of certain information (including material non-public information) provided to the Noteholders and the Revolving Lenders, and to their respective financial and legal advisers (the “Cleansing Material”) in connection with the above referenced discussions and negotiations. The Cleansing Material included certain preliminary projections for the Company’s third quarter results, which were subsequently updated. The Company’s final third quarter results will be reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that will be filed on November 9, 2020. The Cleansing Material is attached in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The filing of this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

I.Executive Summary
Executive Summary Peabody Energy Corporation (“Peabody” or the “Company”) is seeking to enter into a Transaction Support Agreement (“TSA”) with its Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) Lenders, holders of Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), and sureties that will extend maturity runway, relieve covenant pressure, and stabilize the Company’s liquidity outlook Peabody reported its Q2’20 earnings on August 5, 2020; the quarter was marked by significant challenges and depressed results associated with substantially lower demand both in the U.S. domestic and seaborne markets amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as weak seaborne metallurgical and thermal pricing, among other factors Current projections indicate a slow seaborne market recovery over the next 12 months, with future demand impacted by economic conditions and public policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic in key demand centers The disruption in coal markets exacerbated certain near-term challenges faced by the Company, including (i) tightening financial maintenance covenant headroom on its RCF, (ii) the maturity of $459 million principal amount of 2022 Notes in March 2022, and (iii) liquidity pressure and increasing collateral calls from sureties Sureties have requested hundreds of millions of dollars in additional collateral in 2020 and have the right to request 100% collateralization at any time To facilitate a potential debt-for-debt exchange transaction, the Company designated its Wilpinjong mine and related entities as unrestricted subsidiaries on August 4, 2020 Wilpinjong is a first-quartile seaborne thermal mine (which also makes significant sales to a domestic customer) and is the Company’s most valuable mining complex Peabody projects that the mine will generate substantial free cash flow in the near- and long-term that can be used to support debt service on structurally senior debt issued at the unrestricted subsidiary group Additionally, as part of the broader drop-down transaction, the Company transferred $100 million of cash to the group that was later designated as unrestricted subsidiaries to provide operating liquidity and address Wilpinjong’s capital needs over the next 12 months Against this backdrop, Peabody is seeking to work with its 2022 Noteholders, RCF Lenders and sureties to effectuate a holistic transaction that provides for maturity extensions and covenant relief, while maintaining sufficient operating liquidity for the Company over the long-term
II.Situation Overview
Company Overview ($ and tons in millions) Operating performance Revenue ($mm) Adjusted ebitda ($mm) Peabody is a leading global coal miner, with interests in 18 mining operations across the U.S. and Australia Peabody has 4.1 billion tons of proven and probable coal reserves, with thermal and metallurgical coal accounting for 78% and 22% of total reserves, respectively In 2019, Peabody produced and sold ~165 million tons of coal Thermal coal accounted for roughly 75% of the Company’s revenues and 95% of tons sold, respectively The Company’s operations are divided into 4 key segments: (i) Seaborne Thermal, (ii) Seaborne Metallurgical, (iii) Powder River Basin, and (iv) Other U.S. Thermal (which includes the former Midwest and Western segments) All mines in the United States produce thermal coal, with the exception of Shoal Creek which is a met coal producer (acquired in September 2018) In Australia, thermal and metallurgical coal account for ~58% and ~42% of FY’19 revenue and ~77% and ~23% of FY’19 tons sold, respectively Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the Company had ~5,400 employees as of June 30, 2020 Business Description Operational and Financial Summary Business Mix (FY’19) Tons Sold by Region Revenue by Region 1 Excludes tons sold under the “Corporate & Other” segment.

Capitalization Table ($ in millions) Peabody was levered at ~2.2x Net Debt / LTM Adj. EBITDA (on a book basis) and had ~$860 million of liquidity at the end of Q3’20 During Q3’20, the Company posted $53.2 million in additional letters of credit and a AU$50 million bank guarantee to sureties and other counterparties Source:Bloomberg and Company filings.
Situation Overview and Q2’20 Update Peabody’s second quarter 2020 was marked by challenging seaborne and domestic market conditions that materially weighed on results and exacerbated issues of declining liquidity, increasing leverage, and refinancing risk with stressed securities prices Peabody reported Q2’20 earnings results on August 5, 2020, including revenues of $627 million, net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.5 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA of $23 million While the Company continued to improve its surface operations and reduce costs per ton—even as volumes dropped—the global economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and lower demand in the U.S. domestic market drove revenues and profitability meaningfully down in the quarter Seaborne revenues declined $258 million year-over-year due to lower met volumes and depressed met and thermal coal prices, as the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted seaborne demand U.S. thermal revenues declined $234 million year-over-year due to the closure of Kayenta and persistently low natural gas prices that further pressured and accelerated the decline in domestic coal demand Peabody ended the quarter with $926 million of liquidity, down $263 million from Q1’20 due to (i) negative cash flow from operations and (ii) increased collateral calls from sureties Peabody posted ~$135 million of additional collateral to sureties YTD (~$77 million in Q2’20) and currently has hundreds of millions of dollars in additional outstanding requests from sureties In light of the increasing collateral requests and the continued challenging market environment, Peabody began to evaluate various strategic financing alternatives to address near- and medium-term uncertainty On August 4, 2020, the Company designated the Wilpinjong mine and its related legal entities as unrestricted subsidiaries with the objective of consummating a debt-for-debt exchange, as discussed further herein Additionally, the Company contributed $100 million of cash to the group of entities that was later designated as unrestricted in connection with the drop-down transaction
Summary of Near-Term Challenges The global economic disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic has increased Peabody’s near-term financial challenges, including (i) tightening financial maintenance covenant headroom, (ii) the maturity of $459 million principal amount of Notes in 2022, and (iii) decreasing liquidity and increased pressure on account of collateral calls from sureties RCF Covenant Compliance Peabody is at risk of non-compliance with its 2.0x RCF First Lien Leverage covenant later this year due to the negative impact on EBITDA associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, continued secular pressures on domestic coal pricing and demand, and depressed seaborne pricing, among other factors Maturity Runway The Company faces the maturity of $459 million principal amount of 2022 Notes in March 2022 Additionally, $540 million of RCF Commitments have a springing maturity to September 2021 if the 2022 Notes are not repaid in full at that time Surety Collateral Demands Peabody has received considerable collateral requests from sureties due to increased uncertainty from tightening covenant headroom and approaching maturities, as highlighted by the recent credit rating downgrades by S&P and Moody’s; a perceived failure to address either of the challenges above could lead to accelerated collateral calls which would increase the pressure on liquidity in the near-term The Company has a ~$1.6 billion surety program in place to support the performance of reclamation and certain other obligations Sureties are contractually permitted to request collateral of up to 100% of their exposure at any time Weak Q2 numbers and subsequent credit downgrades have prompted an increased volume of collateral requests as each surety provider individually seeks to de-risk its position through collateral calls At present, hundreds of millions of dollars of collateral requests remain outstanding
III.Overview of the Wilpinjong Drop-Down
