(Additional PGAM Subsidiaries).  In their roles as investment manager or

PIM is a direct  subsidiary of PGAM. PGAM is a limited liability company and the

holding company  incorporating  all of the Pioneer  Investments asset management

business   (including  PIM,  and  the  Additional  PGAM  Subsidiaries)  and  may

therefore, be deemed to beneficially own the Shares.

PGAM, PIM, and the Additional PGAM Subsidiaries disclaim beneficial ownership of

the Shares except to the extent or their respective pecuniary interests therein,

if any.  The filing of this  Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission

that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of the Shares for any other

purposes than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In  accordance  with  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  Release  No.34-39538

(January 12, 1998) (the"Release"),  this filing reflects the securities that may

be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons,  each of which is a

directly or indirectly owned subsidiary of Unicredit S.p.A. ("Unicredit").  This

filing does not reflect securities,  if any,  beneficially owned by Unicredit or

any other  subsidiaries of Unicredit whose ownership is disaggregated  from that

of the Reporting Persons in accordance with the Release.

Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date Hereof

the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five

percent of the class of securities, check here:

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

     Various  persons  have the right to  receive  or the  power to  direct  the

receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock of

James River Coal Company. The interest of one person, PIM, in the Common Stock of James River Coal Company,  amounted to 2,856,000 shares or 7.3% of the total outstanding Common Stock at December 31, 2013.

         Inapplicable.

Item 9.  Notice of Dissolution of the Group.

Item 10. Certification.

     By signing  below I certify  that,  to the best of my knowledge and belief,

the  securities  referred to above were  acquired  and are held in the  ordinary

course of business  and were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or

with the effect of  changing  or  influencing  the  control of the issuer of the

securities  and were not  acquired and are not held in  connection  with or as a

participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.

    By  signing  below PGAM  certifies  that to the best of its  knowledge  and

belief, the foreign regulatory scheme applicable to it as a sub-holding  company

for the asset  management  division in the UniCredit  Banking Group,  the latter

being  regulated  by the  Bank of Italy  and the  Commissione  Nazionale  per le

Societa`e la Borsa  (CONSOB),  is  substantially  comparable  to the  regulatory

scheme applicable to the functionally equivalent U.S. institution(s).  PGAM also

undertakes to furnish to the Commission  staff,  upon request,  information that

would otherwise be disclosed in a Schedule 13D.

SIGNATURE

     After  reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my  knowledge  and belief,  I

certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and

correct.
