On October 2, 2024, CONSOL Mining Company LLC, Helvetia Coal Company LLC and Laurel Run Mining Company LLC voluntarily entered into a Post-Mining Discharge Treatment Trust Consent Order and Agreement (“CO&A”) with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The CO&A serves as an approved alternative financial assurance mechanism associated with the Company's perpetual water treatment obligations located in Pennsylvania and establishes a Global Water Treatment Trust Fund (“WTTF”). The WTTF is a long-term funding mechanism with an initial value of $74.2 million funded by a combination of cash (approximately $12 million) and surety bonds (approximately $62 million) pledged to the WTTF to fund these obligations over time, reducing the Company's exposure to surety bonds and their collateral requirements. The Company has agreed to a minimum $2 million annual contribution into the WTTF, while reserving the option to pre-pay into the WTTF at any time and with no cap on the pre-payment amount.
On November 5, 2024, CONSOL Energy announced a $0.25/share dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $7 million, payable on November 26, 2024 to all stockholders of record as of November 15, 2024.
