PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION

Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Rate 

February 8, 2009

Holders of 4.75% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2066

          This Notice is provided pursuant to Section 2.18(j) of the First Supplemental Indenture dated
as of December 20, 2006 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between Peabody Energy Corporation (the
“Company”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, relating to the Company’s 4.75%
Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2066. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Supplemental Indenture.

	 	1.	 	Pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, the Conversion Rate is required to be
adjusted for distributions of cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock
by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect on the Trading Day immediately prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution on the NYSE by a fraction, (i) the numerator
of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such
date, less the Dividend Threshold Amount and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date, less the
amount of the distribution per share of Common Stock. Prior to the Conversion Rate
adjustment from 16.1421 to 17.1078 effective November 23, 2007 (the “Prior
Adjustment”), all quarterly dividends paid were equal in amount to the Dividend
Threshold Amount which resulted in no adjustment to the Conversion Rate. Subsequent to
the Prior Adjustment, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Conversion Rate (Ex-Dividend Date 2/8/08) = 17.1078 x
	 	$53.24 — $0.056613

$53.24 — $0.060000
	 	=
	 	 	17.1089	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Conversion Rate (Ex-Dividend Date 5/6/08) = 17.1089 x
	 	$61.66 — $0.056609

$61.66 — $0.060000
	 	=
	 	 	17.1098	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Conversion Rate (Ex-Dividend Date 8/6/08) = 17.1098 x
	 	$64.50 — $0.056607

$64.50 — $0.060000
	 	=
	 	 	17.1107	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Conversion Rate (Ex-Dividend Date 11/4/08) = 17.1107 x
	 	$32.59 — $0.056604

$32.59 — $0.060000
	 	=
	 	 	17.1125	 

	 	 	 	Pursuant to Section 2.18(i) of the Supplemental Indenture, Conversion Rate adjustments
resulting in an aggregate change of less than 1% are not required to be made
immediately. The Company has carried forward the adjustments detailed above within one
year of the first such adjustment and is adjusting the Conversion Rate from 17.1078 to
17.1125.

 

 

	 	2.	 	The effective date of the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be February 8, 2009.
	 
	 	3.	 	The following table sets forth the adjusted Stock Prices and number of
Additional Shares issuable per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures in the event a
Holder elects to convert Debentures in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control.
	 
	 	4.

amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in the same manner and for the same
events as the Conversion Rate may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.18 of the
Supplemental Indenture.EX-10.2

Exhibit 10.2

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on February 17, 2009,
by and between TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and
Marlene M. Ricketts (“Ricketts”) and the Joe and Marlene Ricketts Grandchildren’s Trust (the
“Grandchildren’s Trust” and, collectively with Ricketts, “Sellers”). Buyer and each Seller are
referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

     WHEREAS, Ricketts desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Ricketts, an
aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of common stock of Buyer (the “Ricketts Shares”) for cash on
the terms set forth below.

     WHEREAS, the Grandchildren’s Trust desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase
from the Grandchildren’s Trust, an aggregate of 19,008,000 shares of common stock of Buyer (the
“Grandchildren’s Trust Shares” and, collectively with the Ricketts Shares, the
“Shares”) for cash on the terms set forth below.

     Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in
consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree
as follows.

     §1. Purchase and Sale of Shares

     (a) Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) Buyer
agrees to purchase from Ricketts (the “Ricketts Purchase”), and Ricketts agrees to sell to Buyer,
the Ricketts Shares at the Closing (defined below), in exchange for an amount equal to U.S. $11.85
in cash per Share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) multiplied by the number of Ricketts
Shares (such amount, the “Aggregate Ricketts Purchase Price”), and (ii) Buyer agrees to
purchase from the Grandchildren’s Trust (the “Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase” and, together
with the Ricketts Purchase, the “Purchases”), and the Grandchildren’s Trust agrees to sell
to Buyer, the Grandchildren’s Trust Shares at the Closing, in exchange for an amount equal to the
Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Grandchildren’s Trust Shares (such amount, the
“Aggregate Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase Price”). Buyer shall pay the Aggregate Ricketts
Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated as the
“Ricketts Account” on Schedule 1 to this Agreement, and Buyer shall pay the Aggregate
Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account
designated as the “Grandchildren’s Trust Account” on Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

     (b) Closing.

     (i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3(a) on and as of the
Closing Date, Buyer and each Seller shall consummate the Purchase at a closing (the
“Closing”) to take place as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 3(a); provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to
consummate the Purchase prior to the 3rd business day following the date hereof (the
“Closing Date”). If the Closing does not occur prior to February 27, 2009, any Party may
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the other Parties, and
in such case no Party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder (it being understood
that any Party may still seek appropriate damages from any other Party that breaches any of its
obligations hereunder prior to such termination, including its obligation to effect the Purchases).
At the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Buyer the Shares (including, with any that are in
certificated form, endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed assignment documents), and
Buyer will deliver to Sellers the Purchase Price pursuant to §1(a).

     (c) Board Representation

1

 

          (i) On the Closing Date, (A) the number of R Directors (as defined by the Stockholders
Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2005, among the Buyer, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and certain other
stockholders, as amended (the “Stockholders Agreement”)) shall be reduced from three to two as a
result of the Purchases (it being understood that nothing herein shall prevent the number of R
Directors from increasing back to three pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in the event that
the R Parties obtain additional shares of Buyer’s common stock in the future), and (B) the R
Parties shall deliver to the Buyer the resignation of one of the R Directors effective as of the
Closing Date notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

practicable) consults with each Seller regarding the timing and substance of such public
announcement or statement, and each Seller may, without the prior consent of the other Parties
