Dear Oxford Resources Unitholder:

The Special Meeting of Unitholders of Oxford Resource Partners, LP (“Oxford”) is scheduled to be held on December 23, 2014.

It is very important that all unitholders have their voices heard. The Oxford proxy statement and voting ballot were sent to you in an earlier mailing but to date we have not received your vote instruction. We urge you to please vote your Oxford units today. You may do so by contacting MacKenzie Partners toll-free at 1-888-410-7850. MacKenzie has been engaged by Oxford to assist in gathering the votes for the Special Meeting.

A vote FOR the proposals has been recommended by three leading independent proxy advisory firms. Oxford’s press release in that regard is attached. Additionally, 97% of the votes cast so far have been voted for the transactions, indicating strong unitholder support from those that have voted.

The proposals require the approval of our public unitholders by a majority vote FOR the proposals. Therefore, not voting will have the same effect as voting AGAINST the restructuring plan proposals.

No matter how many units you hold your vote is very important. Please contact MacKenzie Partners today so we may assist in processing your vote – this will only take a few minutes of your time. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE VIABILITY OF OXFORD! YOUR VOTE FOR IS CRITICAL!

MacKenzie’s team of representatives can be reached toll-free at 1-888-410-7850 or 1-212-929-5500 (call collect). Please be advised that you do not need your proxy card to vote your units. Simply call MacKenzie today and they can take your vote over the telephone. You may also contact them with your voting instructions via email at: proxy@mackenziepartners.com.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Oxford Resource Partners, LP
