Murray Energy Corporation and Jonathan R. Murray Respond to the Destructive,

Scurrilous and Blatantly False Lawsuit Filed Against the Company and Jonathan

This press release is in response to the very destructive, scandalous, and false allegations
contained in the lawsuit filed this morning by Teresa C. Toriseva, Esq. of the Toriseva Law Firm on behalf
of Ms. Melissa Saville. These allegations could destroy the lives of Jon Murray’s innocent children and
Jon, himself. He has been both the mother and father to the little girl at the center of the false allegations,
as well as her brother, since his divorce in 2009 from Ms. Saville.

This is a confirmed attempt by Ms. Saville and Ms. Toriseva, Esq. to extort money from Murray
Energy and its owners, as confirmed by Ms. Saville’s offer, through her attorney, to not pursue this
litigation if Murray Energy would agree to a money “settlement”. This is also another attempt by Ms.
Saville to win back custody of the children involved.

It is outrageous and uncivilized to Murray Energy and its ownership to see the lives of two
innocent individuals destroyed in an attempt to extort a money “settlement”. Since the divorce in 2009,
Jonathan’s former wife, Melissa, has attempted to gain money from the Corporation and Jon Murray in
any manner that she could. Now she is joined by a lawyer with the same motivation to extort Murray
Energy.

The events charged by Ms. Saville and Toriseva, Esq. did not happen, nor could they have
happened. Indeed, Jon has passed a polygraph examination. Jon’s counsel has filed an action to that effect
in federal court in West Virginia, as well as in the family court in Ohio County, West Virginia.

Murray Energy and Jon Murray will vigorously defend against this lawsuit, as well as pursue any
remedies it may have, against those who brought it.
