CONSOL Energy Inc announced that it has received the requisite consents of the holders of a majority of aggregate principal amount of each of the three series of senior notes listed below in connection with its previously announced consent solicitations for the Notes.

As a result of receiving such requisite consents, CONSOL, certain of its subsidiaries signatory thereto and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee under the indentures governing the Notes, have executed the applicable supplemental indentures implementing the proposed amendment contemplated by the consent solicitations on August 24th 2011. As a result of the execution of the Supplemental Indentures, holders may no longer withdraw their consents to the Proposed Amendment. The consent solicitations will expire on August 25th 2011 and holders still have until expiration to consent and receive the applicable consent fee.

CONSOL expects to make payment of the applicable consent fee of USD 5.00 per every USD 1,000 principal amount of the Notes in respect of which consents were received on August 26th 2011.
