(3)	Represents shares withheld to satisfy the reporting person's tax liability resulting from the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted to her.
(4)	The reporting person's purchase of CONSOL Energy Inc. (the "Company") common stock reported herein was matchable under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act:"), to the extent of 60 shares, with the reporting person's sale of shares of the Company's common stock on January 26, 2014. The reporting person has made arrangements with the Company to disgorge to the Company $204.11, which represents the full amount of profit calculated in connection with the transactions.
(5)	The reporting person's purchase of the Company's common stock reported herein was matchable under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, to the extent of 55 shares, with the reporting person's sale of 139 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $40.30 per share on February 23, 2014. The reporting person has made arrangements with the Company to disgorge to the Company $188.31, which represents the full amount of profit calculated in connection with the transactions.

Remarks: This Form 4 was inadvertently filed late due to a misunderstanding about whether the reporting person was considered to be an "officer" for reporting purposes pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since CONSOL Energy Inc. (the "Company") had determined that the reporting person was not considered to be an "executive officer" for reporting purposes pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This Form 4 has been filed in conjunction with a Form 3 report filed by the reporting person, and reflects all reportable transactions undertaken by the reporting person from March 1, 2013, the date she was appointed as the Company's principal accounting officer, and the current date.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
