RE: Report Feedback Statement

Fellow Shareholders,

We are writing to respond to two core issues in Glass Lewis’ recently issued proxy advisory report for CNX’s upcoming annual meeting: the recommendation against our Nominating and Governance Committee Chair and the mischaracterization of our executive compensation practices. First, however, it is important for shareholders to understand our concern regarding Glass Lewis’ flawed process.

Glass Lewis uses a ’pay to play‘ approach where a company must purchase Glass Lewis’ proxy report to have the ability to directly address concerns through a Report Feedback Statement (“RFS”). See https://www.glasslewis.com/report-feedback-statement/ visited 3 April 2024. Glass Lewis’ website defines this quid pro quo as follows: “[w]hen purchasing Glass Lewis’ research as a company … the RFS is included in the cost ...” While Glass Lewis maintains that it will not edit feedback to “maintain the independence of both parties’ views,” Glass Lewis will, however, “… review each RFS submission for compliance with the RFS requirements and guidelines (as set forth in the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ below), may request updates to the RFS submission to comply with those requirements and guidelines, and may refuse to publish an RFS that does not comply with the RFS requirements and guidelines” (emphasis added). In other words, a company must purchase the report to submit an RFS and then must permit Glass Lewis to unilaterally decide whether an RFS complies with its guidelines, which allows Glass Lewis to exclude an RFS it deems disparaging or defamatory. The firm does not explain what it considers disparaging.

Turning to the specific concerns raised by Glass Lewis, we respectfully disagree with its recommendation to vote against Director Maureen Lally-Green, the female Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board. As we have consistently disclosed in our proxy statements, we view the small size and composition of CNX’s Board as a key strength, fostering open dialogue, nimble decision-making, transparency, and full engagement. In considering individuals for Board membership, we focus on addressing clear and tangible business needs that align with the company’s long-term strategies and ensuring diversity of thought, skills, and background (including gender diversity). Glass Lewis is making an absurd recommendation: to vote against a trailblazing female leader with 45 years of broad experience, ending the gender diversity of our Board.

Regarding Say on Pay, Glass Lewis erred in assessing our special one-time grant of performance share units (Special PSU Plan) to three Section 16 officers. The Special PSU Plan has rigorous targets (compound IRR of no less than ~23% from grant date) and will drive the realization of long-term value for shareholders by focusing on long-term share price performance. Glass Lewis failed to note the seven year performance period of the awards and did not note that if earned, awards are not paid until the end of the performance period (compared to much shorter performance periods in typical equity awards). Participating officers do not benefit from relatively “brief spikes in performance” that Glass Lewis alleged, but instead are placed in the same shoes as the company’s long-term shareholders.

Common sense dictates we go on record to respectfully disagree with Glass Lewis’ recommendations. We invite shareholders to review our 2024 proxy statement. We would be pleased to discuss questions you may have.

Respectfully,

Nick DeIuliis

President and Chief Executive Officer
