Item1.01

Peabody Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company)
and a majority of the Companys wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries, as well as one international subsidiary in

voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code

(collectively, the Chapter 11 Cases) are being jointly
administered under the captionIn re Peabody Energy
Corporation

filed by the Company (Docket No. 1662) relating to an amendment
to the Companys Superpriority Secured Debtor-In-Possession Credit

must enter an order determining the CNTA Issues (as defined in
the DIP Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to the DIP
Amendment).
