(b) On January 24, 2017, James E. Altmeyer, Sr. gave notice of his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CNX Coal Resources GP LLC, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of CNX Coal Resources LP, a publicly-traded Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). Mr. Altmeyer’s resignation will be effective immediately following the filing of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is anticipated to be on or about February 8, 2017. Mr. Altmeyer was a member of the Audit Committee of the Board. Mr. Altmeyer resigned as his term of 18 months has expired, and his decision to resign was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the General Partner on any matter relating to the General Partner's or the Partnership’s operations, policies or practices.
.    (d) CONSOL Energy Inc., the sponsor of the Partnership and the holder of all of the membership interests in the General Partner, appointed Dan D. Sandman as a member of the Board, to be effective immediately following the filing of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is anticipated to be on or about February 8, 2017. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Sandman and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director. Mr. Sandman also was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board, to be effective immediately following his appointment as a member of the Board.
The Board has determined that (i) Mr. Sandman is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and (ii) Mr. Sandman has no material relationship with the General Partner or the Partnership that would interfere with his independence from management of the General Partner and that he will otherwise be an “independent director” for purposes of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual. The Board also determined that Mr. Sandman is “financially literate” for purposes of Section 303A.07 of the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual. Mr. Sandman will receive an annual compensation package, which will initially consist of an annual cash retainer of $60,000 and an annual equity-based award granted under the Partnership’s long-term incentive plan having a value as of the grant date of approximately $60,000. Further, Mr. Sandman will be indemnified for his actions associated with being a director to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and will be reimbursed for all expenses incurred in attending to his duties as a director.
