CANONSBURG, Pa., Feb. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CONSOL Energy
Inc. (NYSE: CEIX) today announced the retirement of director Alvin
"Pete" Carpenter effective March 1,

Company through its successful separation transaction in
2017. Mr. Carpenter currently serves as a Class I director of
the Company and is Chair of the Health, Safety and Environmental

"We thank Pete for his dedication to our Company and his
tireless service and valuable advice through the separation in 2017

of the Board. "We will miss Pete on the Board and wish him all the
best," he continued.
Today CEIX also announced the election of a new director,
Sophie Bergeron, effective on
