BRISTOL, Tenn., Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Contura Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CTRA), a leading U.S. supplier of metallurgical products for the steel industry, today announced that it will change its name, effective February 1, 2021, to Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc.
The company expects its common stock, currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the CTRA ticker symbol, to begin trading under its new ticker symbol, AMR, on February 4, 2021.
The rebranding effort more accurately reflects the company's strategic focus on the production of metallurgical coal as a critical feedstock for steel production. Contura's recent divestiture of the Cumberland Mine in Pennsylvania largely marked the company's exit from the thermal coal business.
The new name, Alpha Metallurgical Resources, is both an acknowledgment of the company's rich history and a commitment to a fresh, bold vision for the future.
"Over a year ago, we outlined our vision to make Contura a premier metallurgical coal producer," said David Stetson, Contura's chairman and chief executive officer. "Thanks to the transformative work of our team over the last several months, that vision has become a reality. Bringing back the Alpha name is not only meaningful to us and our history, but it also serves as an outward display to external stakeholders of the sharpened focus we have on metallurgical coal. We are excited to announce this important milestone and we look forward to fully unveiling the Alpha Metallurgical Resources brand when it becomes effective on February 1."
