Armstrong Energy, Inc. Announces Results for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2016

We have engaged financial and legal advisers to assist us in restructuring our capital structure and evaluate other potential alternatives to address the impending liquidity constraints. However, there can be no assurance that any restructuring will be possible on acceptable terms, if at all. It may be difficult to come to an agreement that is acceptable to all of our creditors. Our failure to reach an agreement on the terms of a restructuring with our creditors would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a successful restructuring with the holders of the Notes is not achieved, it may be necessary for us to file a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to implement a restructuring, or our creditors could force us into an involuntary bankruptcy or liquidation.
