DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

On June 23, 2014, Foresight Energy LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-196959) (the “Registration Statement”) registering 7,000,000 common units representing limited partnership interests of the Partnership (the “Units”), to be issued to participants under the Foresight Energy LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On December 10, 2019, the board of directors of Foresight Energy GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, terminated the Plan and all unvested awards under the Plan were cancelled without payment. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is being filed to deregister all Units that had been registered and remain unsold under the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Partnership in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Partnership hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all of such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities and the Partnership hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
