Forward-looking
statements made by Peabody Energy in this Current Report, or
elsewhere, speak only as of the date on which the statements were
made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it
is not
-9-
possible for
Peabody Energy to predict all of these events or how they may
affect it or its anticipated results. Peabody Energy does not
undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements except as may be required by law. In light of these
risks and uncertainties, readers should keep in mind that the
events referenced by any forward-looking statements made in this
Current Report may not occur and should not place undue reliance
on any forward-looking statements.
The Plan provides
that Peabody Energy equity securities will be canceled and
extinguished on the Effective Date of the Plan by the Bankruptcy
Court, and that the holders thereof would not be entitled to
receive, and would not receive or retain, any property or
interest in property on account of such equity interests. The
Plan also sets forth the proposed recoveries for Peabody Energys
other securities. Trading prices for Peabody Energys equity or
other securities may bear little or no relationship during the
pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases to the actual recovery, if any,
by the holders thereof at the conclusion of the Chapter 11 Cases.
In the event of cancellation of Peabody Energy equity securities,
as contemplated by the Plan, amounts invested by the holders of
such securities would not be recoverable and such securities
would have no value. Accordingly, Peabody Energy urges caution
with respect to existing and future investments in its equity or
other securities.
