Re: In re Cloud Peak Energy, Inc. et al. – Lead Case No. 19-11047 (KG)
Dear Mr. Cousins:
Thank you for your interest in the above-referenced matter. The United States Trustee has
carefully reviewed your request that he appoint an official committee of equity security holders.
After due deliberation and consideration, the decision has been made to not appoint an official
committee of equity security holders at this time. However, the U.S. Trustee’s declination to appoint
such a committee is without prejudice to reconsideration should facts or circumstances change.
Accordingly, if there are additional facts or an alteration of current circumstances that may lead to the
U.S. Trustee’s reconsideration of his decision, you may relay that information to our Office or you may
renew your request at that time.

Very truly yours,
ANDREW R. VARA
