Patriot Coal Corporation (OTC: PCXCQ) today announced that it has achieved several major milestones toward successful emergence from bankruptcy, which the Company detailed in a Disclosure Statement and an amended Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) filed today with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.  As described in the documents, the Company reached an agreement with Knighthead Capital Management, LLC (Knighthead) to financially sponsor Patriot's emergence from bankruptcy.  In addition, after months of litigation and negotiation with Peabody Energy Corporation (Peabody) and Arch Coal, Inc. (Arch), Patriot has entered into settlements with both companies.  These agreements will provide the Company with a significant liquidity infusion and position it to obtain the exit financing necessary to emerge from Chapter 11 as a strong, well-capitalized business.  Additionally, the agreements will result in funding for the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA)-sponsored Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust
