This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and restates the section entitled “Executive Deferred Compensation Plans” in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2005.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plans

On November 13, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Registrant’s Board approved an amendment to that certain Massey Executive Deferred Compensation Program as amended and restated as of January 1, 2005 (the “Deferred Compensation Program,” which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to a Form 8-K filed by the Registrant with the SEC on February 25, 2005) and an amendment to that certain A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan as amended and restated as of January 1, 2005 (the “Deferred Compensation Plan,” which was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to a Form 8-K filed by the Registrant with the SEC on February 25, 2005). On November 14, 2005, the Board and the board of directors of A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc., the Registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary, ratified the amendments to the Deferred Compensation Program and the Deferred Compensation Plan, respectively. Both the Deferred Compensation Program and the Deferred Compensation Plan were amended in the same manner to provide the participants with an ability to elect by no later than December 31, 2005, in accordance with Question and Answer 20 of IRS Notice 2005-1, to terminate any or all of his or her deferral election(s) for any 409A Funds (as defined in Program and Plan) which are held in either the Deferred Compensation Program or the Deferred Compensation Plan and are vested as of December 31, 2005 (whether or not attributable to a participant’s deferral election or the Registrant’s contributions, and as adjusted for earnings or loss). Furthermore each amendment stipulates that any amount to be distributed pursuant to such amendment shall be included in the participant’s income for federal income tax purposes in calendar year 2005 and shall be distributed on or before December 31, 2005. The amendments to the Deferred Compensation Program and the Deferred Compensation Plan are attached to the current report filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2005 as Exhibits 10.10 and 10.11, respectively. The maximum amount of deferred compensation and earnings related thereto that could be paid out by the Registrant on or before December 31, 2005 to participants who choose to terminate their deferral elections and receive such monies in 2005 is approximately $33.0 million.
