Warrior Met Coal Launches Proposed Offering of $125 Million of Additional 8.00% Senior Secured Notes

BROOKWOOD, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today
announced that it proposes to offer, subject to market conditions and
other factors, $125 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00%
Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”) in a private offering
that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The New Notes are being
offered as additional notes under an indenture, dated as of November 2,
2017, pursuant to which Warrior previously issued $350 million aggregate
principal amount of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”).
Warrior expects to use the net proceeds of the offering of the New
Notes, together with cash on hand accumulated prior to the declaration
of any special cash dividend, to pay one or more such dividends of up to
$350 million in the aggregate to all of its stockholders on a pro rata
basis.

The New Notes will be initially guaranteed by each of Warrior’s direct
or indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee
the Existing Notes and that are borrowers or guarantors under Warrior’s
Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, dated as of April 1, 2016, as
amended.

The New Notes will be offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to
be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an
offer to buy any of the New Notes or any other securities and shall not
constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
