New York, March 16, 2015 -- Moody's today placed all ratings of Murray Energy Corporation (Murray) on review for possible upgrade, including the corporate family rating (CFR) of B3, probability of default rating (PDR) of B3-PD, first lien term loan rating of B1 and second lien debt rating of Caa1. The review was prompted by the company's March 15, 2015 announcement that it had entered into a definitive agreement for a transaction whereby Murray will acquire a controlling interest in Foresight Energy LP and Foresight Energy GP LLP (together "Foresight"). Following the closing, Murray will hold roughly 80% of general partner and 50% of limited partner interests in Foresight Energy. If the review results in an upgrade, Moody's expects the potential movement in the CFR to be no more than two notches (to B1 from B3).
