FELP Foresight Energy Partners LP

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 29, 2019, Murray Energy Holdings Co. (“Murray Energy”), the owner of a controlling interest in Foresight Energy GP LLC (“FELP GP LLC”), the general partner of Foresight Energy LP (“FELP”), and certain of Murray Energy’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, and excluding FELP and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors sought, and received, Bankruptcy Court authorization to jointly administer the chapter 11 cases (the “Murray Chapter 11 Cases”) under the caption “In re: Murray Energy Holdings Co., et al.” Case No. 19-56885. The Debtors will continue to manage their properties and operate their businesses as a “debtor in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

As part of their strategic relationship with the Debtors, FELP and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries are parties to various agreements with the Debtors, including, but not limited to:

(together, the “Murray Contracts”).  The Murray Contracts are more fully described in FELP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In its filings with the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors have indicated that they intend to continue performing their obligations under the Murray Contracts during the pendency of the Murray Chapter 11 Cases. On October 31, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court approved an order permitting the Debtors to continue performing their intercompany transactions with FELP. Although FELP and the Debtors currently intend to continue performing their respective obligations under the Murray Contracts, there can be no assurance that FELP or the Debtors will not, in the future, reject, repudiate, renegotiate or terminate the Murray Contracts. Additionally, as FELP noted in a statement filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the board of directors of FELP GP LLC has appointed a conflicts committee composed of independent directors tasked with closely monitoring the Murray Chapter 11 Cases and protecting FELP’s interests with respect to the Debtors.
