On August 11, 2021, Peabody Energy Australia Coal Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Variation of Employment Contract (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement dated October 22, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”), with Darren R. Yeates, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The Employment Agreement limited the Company’s contribution to the Australia superannuation fund to 10% of the statutory maximum covered base salary, currently AU$235,680 per year. The Company’s standard practice is to contribute the superannuation percentage on full base salary, including the amount above the statutory maximum. The Amendment modifies the Employment Agreement to be consistent with treatment for other of the Company’s Australian employees effective as of August 1, 2021. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’s additional superannuation contribution per year, using Mr. Yeates’ current salary and the Company’s superannuation amounts, would be AU$74,570.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference.
