Accounts Receivable Securitization

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

At March 31, 2024, CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are parties to a trade accounts receivable securitization facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. In July 2022, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date to July 29, 2025.

Pursuant to the securitization facility, CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sells trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC sell and/or contribute trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC by CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC) to CONSOL Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, N.A., which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the securitization facility may not exceed $100,000.

Loans under the securitization facility accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted market index rate equal to the applicable term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Loans and letters of credit under the securitization facility also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and pays other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

At March 31, 2024, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $50,666 of borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2024, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $49,947 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $719. At December 31, 2023, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $72,125 of borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2023, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $72,087 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $38. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $365 and $413 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.
