During the first quarter of 2014, we announced that we entered into a revised commercial agreement with ArcelorMittal to supply iron ore pellets for an additional two years through the end of January 2017, with a mutual option to extend for a third year. In addition, Cliffs and ArcelorMittal also extended the joint partnership for the Empire mine preventing the impending closure in 2014.
ArcelorMittal has a unilateral right to put its interest in the Empire mine to us, but has not exercised this right to date.
