Discontinued Operations
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

On November 28, 2017, CNX announced that it had completed the tax-free spin-off of its coal business resulting in two independent, publicly traded companies: (i) a coal company, CONSOL Energy, formerly known as CONSOL Mining Corporation and (ii) CNX, a natural gas exploration and production company. Following the separation, CONSOL Energy and its subsidiaries hold the coal assets previously held by CNX, including its Pennsylvania Mining Complex, Baltimore Marine Terminal, its direct and indirect ownership interest in CONSOL Coal Resources LP, formerly known as CNX Coal Resources LP, and other related coal assets previously held by CNX. As of the close of business on November 28, 2017, CNX's shareholders received one share of CONSOL Energy common stock for every eight shares of CNX's common stock held as of November 15, 2017 (the “Record Date”). The coal company has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
