2028 Convertible Notes On March 1, 2022, through a private offering, the Company issued the 2028 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are governed under an indenture. The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes and available cash to redeem its then-existing senior secured notes and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses relating to the offering and redemptions. The Company capitalized $11.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the offering, which are being amortized over the terms of the notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2028 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls any 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, September 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes was 50.3816 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $19.85 per share of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the indenture require conversion rate adjustments upon the payment of dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock once such cumulative dividends impact the conversion rate by at least 1%. Effective February 19, 2025, the conversion rate was increased to 51.7762 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which represented an adjusted conversion price of approximately $19.31 per share. Under the applicable conversion rate formula, the cumulative $0.225 per share dividends declared and paid since the prior conversion rate adjustment yielded a revised conversion rate of 52.3853 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which met the 1% threshold to impact the existing conversion rate of 51.7762. As such, effective November 13, 2025, the conversion rate was increased to 52.3853 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes. The conversion rate may be impacted prospectively, based upon cumulative dividends paid. The conversion rate is also subject to further adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. If certain corporate events described in the indenture occur prior to the maturity date, or the Company delivers a notice of redemption (as described below), the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after March 1, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes unless at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s reported common stock prices prompted the conversion feature of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the 2028 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders during the first quarter of 2026. It is the Company’s current intent and policy to settle any conversions of the 2028 Convertible Notes through shares of its common stock. As such, the 2028 Convertible Notes are not classified as a current obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Through February 18, 2026, the Company has not received any conversion requests and does not anticipate receiving any conversion requests in the near term as the market value of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeds their conversion value. As of December 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $177.9 million. Revolving Credit Facility The Company established a revolving credit facility with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million in revolving commitments by entering into a credit agreement, dated as of January 18, 2024 (the 2024 Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $9.7 million. The revolving commitments and any related loans, if applicable (any such loans, the Revolving Loans), established by the 2024 Credit Agreement terminate or mature, as applicable, on January 18, 2028, subject to certain conditions relating to the Company’s outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes. The Revolving Loans bear interest at a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined under the 2024 Credit Agreement) or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.25%, at the Company’s option. Letters of credit issued under the 2024 Credit Agreement incur a combined fee equal to an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.25% plus a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum. Unused capacity under the 2024 Credit Agreement bears a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. On November 25, 2024, the Company amended the 2024 Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit (i) Peabody’s then-planned acquisition of multiple coal mines from Anglo, (ii) the related bridge loan facility and (iii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness to finance the acquisition, subject to compliance with certain pro forma financial covenants. The Company paid aggregate deferred financing costs of $0.9 million as part of the amendment. As further discussed in Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Peabody terminated the acquisition with Anglo on August 19, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the 2024 Credit Agreement had only been utilized for letters of credit, including $49.2 million outstanding as of December 31, 2025. These letters of credit support the Company’s reclamation bonding requirements, lease obligations, insurance policies and various other performance guarantees as further described in Note 19. “Financial Instruments, Guarantees With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Other Guarantees.” Availability under the 2024 Credit Agreement was $270.8 million at December 31, 2025. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions (including compliance with financial ratios), may limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments or investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create or incur liens, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The 2024 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of two Australian subsidiaries. BUMA Loan Note On November 25, 2024, concurrent with its entry into the purchase agreements for the Anglo acquisition, the Company entered into a loan note deed with BUMA pursuant to which BUMA would lend to the Company the funds required to purchase the Dawson Assets under the Anglo acquisition purchase agreements and fund certain other obligations in relation to the Dawson Assets (the BUMA Loan Note). The Company received $9.3 million in BUMA Loan Note proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2024 to fund a portion of the deposit to Anglo for the then-planned acquisition. Concurrent with the August 19, 2025 termination of the Anglo acquisition, the Company returned $9.3 million to BUMA. Refer to Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.
