Walter Energy Offers Statement Related to EPA's CO2 Rule

Walter Energy, Inc. WLT, a leading, publicly traded "pure-play" producer of metallurgical ("met") coal for the global steel industry, issued the following statement this morning regarding today's release of EPA's CO2 emission limits regulations for existing power plants: "Because the rules issued today by EPA are aimed at controlling CO2 emissions from existing domestic power plants, we do not expect the regulation will have any material impact on Walter Energy. We primarily mine and sell metallurgical grades of coal that are used in making steel, not generating electricity. Approximately 95% of the company's coal-related revenues come from the export of metallurgical coal."
