Theextension, which runs through April 5, comes a week after the partnership'slast deadline passed.

Foresighthas extended negotiations with the trustee of its 7.875% senior notes due 2021several times since the beginning of the year after a Delaware court ruledagainst the company in December 2015 in a case brought by the trustee of thebondholders.

Thelawsuit stemmed from MurrayEnergy Corp.'s acquisition of a 34% noncontrolling interest inForesight's general partner for $1.37 billion and an option to purchase anadditional 46% of the partnership for $25 million in April 2015. The suit,filed by the Wilmington SavingsFund Society FSB, argued the deal amounted to a change in controlof the company, which should have resulted in Foresight offering to purchase thenotes at 101% of the principal amount tendered plus any accrued and unpaidinterest.

Theoutstanding notes are valued at $600 million.
