</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Today&#146;s filing represents a significant step towards completing the Company&#146;s separation, with both entities being well capitalized and
free cash flow generating. This strategic separation will enable both businesses to focus on their inherent strengths and unlock value for their shareholders,&#148; commented Nicholas J. DeIuliis, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive
Officer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The initial Form 10, which was filed by CONSOL Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company that will hold the coal business at the time of
the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off,</FONT> includes detailed information about the coal business, including historical financial information. The coal business will be comprised of the Pennsylvania Mining Complex (consisting of the Bailey
Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine and the Harvey Mine and the related coal preparation plant), the Company&#146;s ownership interest in CNX Coal Resources LP, a publicly traded master limited partnership that owns a 25% undivided interest in the
Pennsylvania Mining Complex (NYSE: CNXC), the coal export terminal at the Port of Baltimore, undeveloped coal reserves located in the Northern Appalachian, Central Appalachian and Illinois basins, and certain related coal assets and liabilities. The
initial Form 10 is preliminary and subject to change prior to completion of the separation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As disclosed in the Form 10, Jimmy Brock has been appointed
as Chief Executive Officer of the coal business and Katharine Fredriksen as President of the coal business. Effective August&nbsp;2, 2017, David Khani will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the coal business and Don Rush, a current Vice President
of the Company, will assume the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. After the separation, Nick DeIuliis will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the E&amp;P business and Don Rush will serve
as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the E&amp;P business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>About Jimmy Brock </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Jimmy Brock currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the coal business, the Chief Operating Officer &#150; Coal of the Company, and the Chief
Executive Officer and director of the general partner of CNX Coal Resources, LP. With a career in coal spanning five decades, Mr.&nbsp;Brock&#146;s vast operational and leadership experience in the industry will continue to be an invaluable asset to
the employees and shareholders of the new coal business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>About Katharine Fredriksen </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Katharine Fredriksen, who formerly served as the Senior Vice President for Diversified Business Units and Environmental Affairs of the Company, has assumed the
role of President of the coal business. Ms.&nbsp;Fredriksen has been responsible for the management of the Company&#146;s health, safety and environmental matters, including management of the Company&#146;s environmental legacy coal liabilities. She
also has had responsibility for overseeing the operation of the company&#146;s Baltimore Marine Terminal and Central Appalachian mining operations. Previously, Ms.&nbsp;Fredriksen served in the George W. Bush administration as Assistant Secretary

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">David Khani, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will assume the same role with the newly formed coal entity effective
August&nbsp;2, 2017. Mr.&nbsp;Khani joined the Company in 2011 as Vice President of Finance where he played a key role in the growth of the Company&#146;s E&amp;P business and is deeply involved in the ultimate separation of the coal and E&amp;P
businesses. Before joining the Company, Mr.&nbsp;Khani served as the Director of Research at FBR Capital Markets and Co. Mr.&nbsp;Khani previously served as Managing Director and head of FBR&#146;s Energy and Natural Resources Group covering the
coal mining space. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>About Don Rush </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Don Rush, the
Company&#146;s Vice President for Energy Marketing, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective August&nbsp;2, 2017. Having served in numerous leadership roles during his career with the Company, Mr.&nbsp;Rush has
effectively guided the Company through every significant transaction during its transformative journey into a pure play natural gas exploration and production company, including the sale of the company&#146;s five West Virginia mines in 2013 and the
dissolution of the Company&#146;s Marcellus Shale joint venture with Noble Energy, Inc. He currently oversees the Company&#146;s commercial functions, including mergers and acquisitions, gas marketing and transportation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Form 10 also contemplates that the coal business will operate under the name CONSOL Energy Inc. after the
