CNX Resources Corporation Announces Early Results and Early Payment Date for Tender Offer for its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022

PITTSBURGH, March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CNX Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) ("CNX") today announced that it had received tenders for an aggregate principal amount of $1,149,251,000 of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Notes") in its previously announced cash tender offer (the "offer") to purchase up to $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the approximately $1,294,307,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2019 (the "Early Tender Deadline"), as well as the anticipated early payment date for the offer on March 15, 2019 (the "Early Payment Date").

The offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase dated February 28, 2019, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the offer, by calling (800) 967-7510 (toll free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550 or by email at cnx@dfking.com.

The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on March 27, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). The withdrawal deadline for validly tendered Notes was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2019.  

Because the purchase of all validly tendered Notes would cause us to purchase a principal amount greater than the $400.0 million Tender Cap, the offer is oversubscribed and CNX, if it accepts Notes in the offer, will accept for purchase tendered Notes on a prorated basis as described in the offer documents using  a pro ration factor of approximately 34.8%. Payment for any Notes so accepted will be made promptly on the Early Payment Date, which is currently expected to occur on or about March 15, 2019, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the offer. Because the offer is oversubscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders of Notes who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Notes accepted for payment.

MUFG Securities Americas Inc. is serving as the exclusive Dealer Manager for the offer. Questions regarding the terms of the offer may be directed to MUFG Securities Americas Inc., Liability Management Group, at 212-405-7481 (collect) or 877-744-4532 (U.S. toll-free).

CNX is one of the largest independent oil and natural gas companies in the United States and is focused on the exploration, development, production, gathering, processing and acquisition of natural gas properties in the Appalachian Basin.
