EXPLANATORY NOTE
     This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Arch Coal, Inc. (“Arch”) on May 3, 2010 (the “Original Filing”). The Original Filing incorrectly classified certain disclosure relating to Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 of the Original Filing under Item 8.01 (Other Events) rather than Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure). This amendment sets forth the identical disclosure information and exhibits as the Original Filing with respect to Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 of the Original Filing but provides the disclosure under Item 7.01 rather than Item 8.01, and clarifies that the information in this Form 8-K/A and exhibits attached hereto are being furnished rather than “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
In addition, on May 2, 2011, Arch provided supplemental information regarding International Coal Group, Inc. and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in connection with a presentation to, and a conference call with, analysts and investors. A copy of the presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto. A transcript of the conference call is attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto. The information in this Form 8-K/A and exhibits attached hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Additional Information
This presentation is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to purchase shares of International Coal Group, Inc. (“ICG”) or the solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of ICG’s common stock. Arch Coal, Inc. and its subsidiary Atlas Acquisition Corp. have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including the offer to purchase and related documents, which has been previously amended and will be further amended as necessary. ICG has filed with the SEC a tender offer solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9, which has been previously amended and will be further amended as necessary. These documents contain important information and stockholders of ICG are advised to carefully read these documents before making any decision with respect to the cash tender offer.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” — that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties arise from changes in the demand for our coal by the domestic electric generation industry; from legislation and regulations relating to the Clean Air Act and other environmental initiatives; from operational, geological, permit, labor and weather-related factors; from fluctuations in the amount of cash we generate from operations; from future

 


 

integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. For a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results, you should see the risk factors described from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC.
