The company also plans to guarantee the notes with all of its restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its revolving credit facility.

Nicholas J. DeIuliis, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNX Resources Corporation, expressed confidence in the company's strategic use of the proceeds, stating, "We intend to utilize the net proceeds to effectively manage our outstanding debt and to support our ongoing operations and growth initiatives."
