Peabody Energy Corporation amended and restated its by-laws, effective October 14, 2025. The updates refine how stockholders nominate directors and submit proposals, including a new requirement that any nominee make themselves available for a Board interview.
The revisions also address disclosure and notice requirements for matters raised at special meetings and clarify that the Board may submit proposals at such meetings. The by-laws establish procedures for organizing and conducting stockholder meetings, with the Chairman of the Board serving as meeting chair, and add a severability provision. The company characterizes the changes as clarifications, updates, and other non‑substantive revisions.
Peabody Energy Corporation provided an update under Regulation FD about a contract dispute with Anglo American Plc. Anglo has started arbitration after Peabody terminated purchase agreements for Anglo’s steelmaking coal assets, with Peabody stating it believes a material adverse change occurred that justified ending the deals.
After the termination, Anglo returned $29 million of the original $75 million deposit paid by Peabody. Peabody has demanded that the remaining portion of the deposit be returned without further delay, and the recovery of this balance will depend on the outcome of the arbitration process.
