Description of Business


Primary SIC Code: 1221
(As filed with the SEC)  

Peabody Energy Corporation is the world's largest private-sector coal company. We own majority interests in 28 coal mining operations located in the U.S. and Australia. In addition to our mining operations, we market, broker and trade coal through our Trading and Brokerage segment. We were incorporated in Delaware in 2001 and our history in the coal mining business dates back to 1883. Over the past decade, we have continually adjusted our business to focus on the highest-growth regions in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific markets. As part of this transformation, we have made strategic acquisitions and divestitures in Australia and the U.S. After re-entering the Australian market in 2002, we expanded our presence there with acquisitions in 2004 and 2006. In 2007, we spun off portions of our formerly Eastern U.S. Mining segment through a dividend of all outstanding shares of Patriot Coal Corporation (Patriot).  ... More ...
