<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ST. LOUIS, Jan.&nbsp;31 &#150; Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced that, as a result of the company&#146;s strong share price performance in recent months,
all outstanding shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;preferred stock&#148;), were automatically converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the company (&#147;common
stock&#148;) effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, today. No action by holders of preferred stock is required. The conversion simplifies the company&#146;s capital structure, increases the common stock public float, and ensures future earnings
fully accrue to common shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preferred shares were automatically converted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation governing the preferred
stock. In accordance with the Certificate of Designation, the mandatory conversion of the preferred stock occurred as a result of the consolidated volume-weighted average price (&#147;VWAP&#148;) per share of common stock exceeding $32.50 for at
least 45 trading days in a 60 consecutive trading day period, including each of the last 20 trading days in that 60 consecutive trading day period. Today&#146;s VWAP of the common stock was $40.2941, marking the 45<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> trading day in the previous 60 trading days, and the 20<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> consecutive trading day, that the common stock&#146;s daily VWAP exceeded $32.50. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the conversion, each share of preferred stock automatically converted into 1.88279508 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock are
expected to be delivered to former holders of preferred stock within three trading days. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There were approximately 13.2 million shares of preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the conversion, resulting in the issuance of approximately
24.8 million new shares of common stock. Currently, there are approximately 130.7 million shares of common stock outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the
