Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 16, 2007, International Coal Group, Inc. elected to terminate an Agreement for Purchase and Sale, dated April 10, 2003 (the “Agreement”), between ICG, LLC (“ICG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Coal Group, Inc., and Georgia Power Company (“Georgia Power”). The Agreement will be terminated as of December 31, 2007. There is no material relationship between ICG and Georgia Power other than in respect of the Agreement, although Georgia Power remains a valued customer of the Company.

Under the Agreement, the ICG agreed to sell coal to Georgia Power over a period from 2004 to 2010 at prices determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Section 8 of the Agreement provided that at certain times the purchase price could be reevaluated pursuant to a market price review. A market review was conducted for the price of coal during 2008 and, pursuant to the Agreement, Georgia Power offered ICG a revised purchase price. Pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Agreement, ICG had the option to accept the revised price or terminate the agreement.

On November 16, 2007, ICG informed Georgia Power that it was electing to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8(b) because the Company believes that the revised price offered by Georgia Power was lower than prices the Company has, and can, obtain for this low sulfur product. ICG will not incur any penalties in connection with the termination of the Agreement.
