What vote is required to approve each proposal?
 
     
Election of four directors (Proxy Item No. 1)
  The nominees who receive the most votes for the available positions will be elected. If you indicate “withhold authority to vote” for a particular nominee on your proxy card, your vote will not count either “for” or “against” the nominee. Abstentions are not counted in the election of directors and do not affect the outcome.

In order to have a valid stockholder vote, a stockholder quorum must exist at the annual meeting. A quorum will exist when stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.
 
Broker non-votes occur when brokers do not have discretionary voting authority to vote certain shares held in “street name” on particular proposals and the beneficial owner of those shares has not instructed the broker how to vote on those proposals. Under New York Stock Exchange rules, brokers who hold shares for the accounts of their clients and who have not received instructions from their clients do have discretion to vote in the election of directors. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
 
Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting?
 
We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting. We will publish the final results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2007, which we expect to file on or before May 10, 2007. You can obtain a copy of the Form 10-Q by logging on to our website at archcoal.com, by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at (800) SEC-0330 for the location of the nearest public reference room, or through the EDGAR system at sec.gov. Information on our website does not constitute part of this proxy statement.
