Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The total consideration paid for the Common Units in connection with the Merger was valued at approximately $51.8 million (based on the closing price of CONSOL Energy Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “CEIX Common Stock”), on December 29, 2020) and consisted of the issuance of shares of CEIX Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Common Units other than Common Units owned by CONSOL Energy Inc. (“CEIX”) and its subsidiaries, including the Reporting Persons (each, a “Public Common Unit”). Each issued and outstanding Public Common Unit was converted into the right to receive 0.73 shares of CEIX Common Stock.

On December 30, 2020, in connection the consummation of the Merger, the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, dated November 28, 2017 (as amended, the “Affiliated Company Credit Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Issuer party thereto, CEIX, as lender and administrative agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, as collateral agent, was terminated, all obligations and guarantees thereunder repaid and discharged and all liens granted in connection therewith released. In connection with the termination of the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement and in exchange for, and in satisfaction of, payment of the outstanding balance of approximately $176.5 million thereunder, the Issuer issued 37,322,410 Common Units (the “Consideration Units”) to CEIX.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On December 30, 2020, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing and surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of CEIX. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Public Common Unit was converted into the right to receive 0.73 shares of CNX Common Stock.

Also on December 30, 2020, in connection the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer, certain subsidiaries of the Issuer, CEIX and PNC Bank, National Association terminated the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement and in exchange for, and in satisfaction of, payment of the outstanding balance of approximately $176.5 million thereunder, the Issuer issued the Consideration Units to CEIX.

As a result of the Merger, and following the issuance of the Consideration Units, the Reporting Persons collectively are the beneficial owners of all of the Common Units of the Issuer.
