Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 5, 2013, SunCoke Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into a 10-year extension of its existing contract, between the Company’s Indiana Harbor Coke Company, L.P. subsidiary and ArcelorMittal USA, to provide 1.22 million tons of metallurgical coke annually to ArcelorMittal from the Company’s Indiana Harbor cokemaking operation located in East Chicago, Indiana.

Key provisions of the extension agreement, which takes effect October 1, 2013, are substantially similar to the existing agreement, including continuing the pass-through of coal costs, reimbursement of operating and maintenance expenses subject to certain metrics, and a pricing adjustment per ton of coke produced to recognize the approximately $85 million in new capital being deployed to refurbish and upgrade the Company’s Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility.

The foregoing brief description of the extension agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the extension agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2013.

The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
