ICG defines EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to ICG before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization.

     The information set forth in Section 10—“Source and Amount of Funds” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     “We estimate that we will need up to approximately $3,045 million to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Shares and approximately an additional $610 million to repay indebtedness of ICG and pay certain costs related to such indebtedness in connection with the Merger. We estimate that the total amount of funds necessary to purchase all of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including making payments in respect of outstanding ICG compensatory awards, paying the merger consideration in connection with the Merger of us into ICG, which is expected to follow the successful completion of the Offer, redeeming or repaying certain outstanding indebtedness of ICG and paying related fees and expenses will be approximately $3,800 million. The majority of the approximately $3,800 million is expected to come from the issuance of unsecured senior notes by Arch (the “Notes”), either by private placement or an underwritten public sale, with the balance to be paid using the proceeds of additional common shares to be issued by Arch (the “Arch Shares”) or other additional senior secured indebtedness (the “Loans”) to be raised by Arch. To the extent that Arch is unable to issue the Notes, Shares and Loans for the entire $3,800 million amount, Arch has a commitment from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”) and PNC Bank, National Association (together with MSSF, the “Lenders”), to provide, or cause their respective affiliates to provide, $3,800 million of senior unsecured bridge loans to Arch (the “Bridge Facility”), the proceeds of which will be used (i) first, to repay or redeem ICG’s indebtedness outstanding on the date of consummation of the Merger, other than certain existing indebtedness, including certain equipment notes and capital leases, and (ii) second, to fund the cash consideration for the Offer and the Merger and pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Offer and the Merger. The proceeds of the Bridge Facility will be sufficient to pay the Offer Price for all Shares tendered in the Offer and all related fees and expenses (and will be sufficient, together with cash on hand of the surviving corporation, to consummate the Merger, repay or refinance certain of ICG’s existing indebtedness and pay fees and expenses in connection with the Offer and the Merger). The Bridge Facility will mature on the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger; however, subject to certain conditions, Arch may elect to extend the maturity date of the Bridge Facility to the eighth anniversary of the closing of the Merger. Consummation of the Offer is not subject to any financing condition.
Debt Financing
     Parent has received a debt commitment letter, dated as of May 1, 2011, from the Lenders to provide to Arch up to $3,800 million of senior unsecured bridge loans for the purpose of financing the Offer and the Merger, subject to the conditions set forth in the debt commitment letter:
     The commitment of the Lenders with respect to the Bridge Facility expires upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the consummation of the Merger and the execution and delivery of the definitive loan documentation for the Bridge Facility and the initial funding of the facilities thereunder and (iii) 180 days following the date of the debt commitment letter. The documentation governing the debt financing has not been finalized and, accordingly, the actual terms of the debt financing may differ from those described in this document. We and the Lenders have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to arrange the debt financing on the terms and conditions described in the debt commitment letter. If any portion of the debt financing becomes or could become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the debt commitment letter, the Merger Agreement requires Arch and Merger Sub to use their reasonable best efforts to arrange promptly to obtain alternative financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount at least equal to the debt financing or such unavailable portion thereof on terms that are not less favorable in the aggregate to Arch and Merger Sub than as contemplated by the debt commitment letter.
     The following is a summary of certain provisions of the debt commitment letter. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the debt commitment letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (b)(1) to the Schedule TO, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Bridge Facility
     The availability of the Bridge Facility is subject, among other things, to the closing of the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the Merger Agreement (without waiver or amendment thereof that is materially adverse to the interest of the Lenders in their capacity as such unless consented to by the Lenders, such consent not be unreasonably withheld), payment of required fees and expenses,

 


 

delivery of certain historical and pro forma financial information and the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation.
     Arch is expected to issue up to $3,800 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, as described above, with the balance of the $3,800 million necessary to purchase all of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be paid using Arch Shares or Loans. If the offering of Notes, the issuance of Arch Shares and/or the incurrence of the Loans is not completed on or prior to the closing of the Offer, the Lenders have committed to provide the Bridge Facility which will consist of up to $3,800 million of unsecured bridge loans. Arch would be the borrower under the Bridge Facility. The initial loans under the Bridge Facility mature one year after the closing date of the Offer, provided, however that if any such initial loans remain outstanding on such date, such initial loans shall automatically be converted into extended term loans which mature on the eighth anniversary of the closing date of the Offer, subject to the right of the holders of any such initial loans or such extended term loans to exchange such loans for exchange notes, subject to certain customary restrictions, with such exchange notes maturing on the eighth anniversary of the closing date of the Offer. The Bridge Facility will be unsecured. The Lenders have been appointed as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Bridge Facility. MSSF has been appointed as administrative agent for the Bridge Facility. Arch expects that the interest rate on the Bridge Facility will initially be approximately “LIBOR” plus 600 basis points with a “LIBOR floor” equal to 1.25% per annum. All obligations under the Bridge Facility will be guaranteed by each of the existing and future direct and indirect domestic restricted subsidiaries of Arch, other than (a) any bonding subsidiary, (b) any securitization subsidiary, (c) Arch Western Resources LLC and its subsidiaries, (d) any subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code, (e) certain other subsidiaries of Arch which are also not required to be guarantors of Arch’s outstanding senior notes, (f) unrestricted subsidiaries, (g) immaterial subsidiaries, (h) any subsidiary that is prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation or by any contractual obligation from guaranteeing the Bridge Facility or which would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a guarantee unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received and (i) certain other exceptions to be agreed. All guarantees will be guarantees of payment and not of collection. The Bridge Facility will contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default substantially consistent with Arch’s outstanding senior notes.”
     The information set forth in the subsection captioned “Termination Fee” within the subsection captioned “The Merger Agreement” within Section 13—“The Transaction Documents” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “ICG shall pay Arch a non-refundable termination fee equal to $105 million, payable by wire transfer: (i) if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to (vi) of the section entitled “— Termination” above, which fee shall be paid no later than two business days after the date of such termination; (ii) if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (ix) of the section entitled “— Termination” above, which fee shall be paid contemporaneously with the termination of the Merger Agreement; or (iii) if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (ii), clause (iv) or clause (v) of the section entitled “— Termination” above, and (a) prior to such termination, an ICG Takeover Proposal has been made known to ICG or been made directly to the stockholders of ICG generally or any person has publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make an ICG Takeover Proposal, and (b)(1) within 12 months of such termination ICG or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any ICG Takeover Proposal, (2) any ICG Takeover Proposal is consummated or (3) the ICG Board recommends an ICG Takeover Proposal.”
     The information set forth in the last paragraph within Section 15—“Conditions to the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “The foregoing conditions are for the benefit of Arch and Merger Sub and may be asserted by Arch or Merger Sub regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions and may be waived by Arch or Merger Sub (other than the Minimum Condition with respect to which such waiver will only be effective with the written agreement of ICG) in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the expiration of the Offer, in each case, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and applicable law. The failure by Arch or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time on or before the

 


 

expiration of the Offer. All conditions to the Offer, other than conditions relating to any governmental approvals, must be satisfied or waived by Arch or Merger Sub on or before expiration of the Offer.”
     The information set forth in the subsection captioned “Shareholder Litigation” within Section 16—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “Shareholder Litigation. On May 9 and May 11, 2011, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, respectively docketed as Kirby v. International Coal Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 6464 and Kramer v. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., et al., Case No. 6470. On May 19, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of Delaware purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, docketed as Isakov v. International Coal Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 6505 (collectively with the Kirby and Kramer actions, the “Delaware Actions”). Each of the complaints names as defendants ICG, members of the ICG Board, Arch, and Merger Sub. Each of the complaints alleges, inter alia, that the members of the ICG Board breached fiduciary duties owed to ICG’s shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize the value of ICG to its shareholders or engage in an appropriate sales process in connection with the proposed transaction and that Arch and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breach. The Isakov complaint further alleges that the members of the ICG Board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose material information in ICG’s 14D-9 filed on May 16, 2011. Plaintiffs seek relief that includes, inter alia, an injunction prohibiting the proposed transaction, an accounting, and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees.
     In addition, on May 9, 2011, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, West Virginia purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, docketed as Walker v. International Coal Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 11-C-123 and Huerta v. International Coal Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 11-C-124. On May 11, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, docketed as Goe v. International Coal Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 11-C-766. On May 13, 2011, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, West Virginia purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, docketed as Eyster v. International Coal Group, Inc., et. al., Case No. 11-C-131 (collectively with the Walker, Huerta, and Goe actions, the “West Virginia State Court Actions”). Each of the complaints names as defendants ICG, members of the ICG Board, and Arch. The Huerta and Eyster complaints also name Merger Sub as a defendant. The Goe complaint also names certain officers of ICG, Arch’s CEO and chairman of the board of directors, and Merger Sub as defendants. Each of the complaints alleges, inter alia, that ICG and/or the ICG directors and/or officers breached fiduciary duties owed to ICG’s shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize the value of ICG to its shareholders or engage in an appropriate sales process in connection with the proposed transaction and that Arch aided and abetted the alleged breach. The Huerta and Eyster complaints also allege that ICG and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breach. The Goe complaint additionally alleges that ICG is secondarily liable for the alleged breach and that Merger Sub and Arch’s CEO and chairman of the board of directors aided and abetted the alleged breach. Plaintiffs seek relief that includes, inter alia, an injunction prohibiting the proposed transaction, rescission, and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees.
     On May 12, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of ICG, docketed as Giles v. ICG, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:11-0330 (the “West Virginia Federal Court Action,” collectively with the West Virginia State Court Actions, the “West Virginia Actions”). The complaint names as defendants ICG, members of the ICG Board, Arch, and Merger Sub. The complaint alleges, inter alia, that the members of the ICG Board breached fiduciary duties owed to ICG’s shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize the value of ICG to its shareholders or engage in an appropriate sales process in connection with the proposed transaction and that ICG, Arch and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breach. Plaintiff seeks relief that includes, inter alia, an injunction prohibiting the proposed transaction, an accounting, and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees.

 


 

     On May 13, 2011, defendants in the Delaware Actions and the West Virginia Actions (collectively, the “Actions”) filed motions in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia seeking an order that the Actions proceed in a single jurisdiction, and postmarked the same motion to the Circuit Courts of Putnam and Kanawha Counties, West Virginia.
      The defendants named in the Delaware Actions (the “Delaware Defendants”) believe that the Delaware Actions are entirely without merit, and that they have valid defenses to all claims raised by the plaintiffs named in the Delaware Actions (collectively, the “Delaware Plaintiffs”). Nevertheless, and despite their belief that they ultimately would have prevailed in the defense of the Delaware Plaintiffs’ claims, to avoid the time and expense that would be incurred by further litigation and the uncertainties inherent in such litigation, on May 26, 2011, the parties to the Delaware Actions entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) regarding a proposed settlement of all claims asserted therein. In connection with the MOU, Arch and Merger Sub agreed to reduce the amount of the proposed transaction’s termination fee by $10 million, from $115 million to $105 million and ICG agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures in its Schedule 14D-9. The settlement is contingent upon, among other things, the execution of a formal stipulation of settlement and court approval, as well as the consummation of the proposed transaction. The foregoing description of the MOU is qualified in its entirety be reference to the MOU, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit a(5)(E) to the Schedule TO.”
