Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On December 21, 2009, Robert W. Bennett, Senior Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer of Patriot Coal Corporation (the “Company”), adopted a pre-arranged trading plan in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s stock ownership and trading policies for executives. Rule 10b5-1 permits officers and directors of public companies to adopt plans for selling specified amounts of stock. The plans may be entered into only when the officer or director is not in possession of material nonpublic information. Under Mr. Bennett’s Rule 10b5-1 plan, he will sell $200,000 of Company stock at prevailing market prices. Mr. Bennett’s plan will terminate on March 31, 2010. Following this transaction, Mr. Bennett’s ownership of Company securities will exceed his obligations under the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.
     Transactions under the plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with SEC rules. The Company undertakes no obligation to report on Form 8-K any Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any other officers or directors or to report on Form 8-K any modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent as may be required by law.
