Ramaco Resources Announces Details of First Quarter 2026 Class B Stock Dividend

Key Points for Investors

• Class B Stock Dividend Declared: Ramaco Resources has confirmed the dividend ratio and payment details for its previously announced quarterly Class B common stock dividend for Q1 2026.
• Dividend Amount and Payment: Each shareholder of record as of March 13, 2026, will receive a dividend equivalent to \$0.1489 per share of Class B common stock, paid in additional shares of Class B stock rather than cash. The payment date is set for March 27, 2026.
• Dividend Ratio Determined: The number of shares distributed per held share is calculated by dividing the dividend amount (\$0.1489) by the closing price of the Class B common stock on March 13, 2026, which was \$10.43 per share. This results in each shareholder receiving 0.014276 shares of Class B common stock per share owned.
• Fractional Shares Treatment: No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, Ramaco Resources will compensate shareholders in cash for any fractional shares, based on the closing price as of the record date.

Potential Price-Sensitive Information

• New Stock Issuance: The issuance of additional Class B shares could potentially dilute the value of each outstanding share, a factor investors should carefully consider.
• Cash Alternative for Fractions: The company’s choice to pay cash for fractional shares provides a liquidity event, albeit minor, for shareholders with non-integer shareholdings.
• Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Development: Ramaco Resources continues to expand its operations beyond metallurgical coal into rare earth elements and critical minerals at its Brook Mine in Wyoming. This diversification is a significant development and may impact long-term value and share price, especially given the ongoing investments and discovery of a major deposit of magnetic rare earths in 2023.

Detailed Dividend Information

The Board of Directors of Ramaco Resources has approved a first quarter 2026 dividend for its Class B common stock. Shareholders holding Class B shares on March 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to a dividend of \$0.1489 per share, payable in stock on March 27, 2026 (“Payment Date”). The dividend will not be distributed in cash but rather through additional shares of Class B common stock. The exact number of new shares each investor will receive is determined by dividing \$0.1489 by the closing market price of \$10.43 per share as of the record date. This works out to a ratio of 0.014276 new shares for each existing share owned.

Importantly, Ramaco will not issue fractional shares as part of this dividend. Instead, any shareholder entitled to a fraction of a share will be compensated in cash, calculated at the closing price on the record date.

Company Overview and Strategic Developments

Ramaco Resources, Inc. is positioning itself as a dual-platform critical mineral company, operating in both high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal and the development of rare earth elements and critical minerals (REE/CM). The company’s main operations are in Central Appalachia (West Virginia and Virginia) with additional development activities in Sheridan, Wyoming.

In 2023, Ramaco announced the discovery of a significant deposit of primary magnetic rare earths and critical minerals at its Brook Mine in Wyoming. The adjacent research and pilot facility is focused on advanced carbon products derived from coal, and the company owns more than 70 patents, pending applications, exclusive licensing agreements, and trademarks related to its research and production efforts.

Risks and Forward-Looking Statements

• Operational Risks: The company warns that actual outcomes may differ from current expectations due to factors such as delays in mine development, regulatory changes, performance of counterparties, market demand for coal and minerals, and the successful ramp-up of its Brook Mine REE/CM project.
• Exploration Uncertainty: Mineral resources at Brook Mine are not yet classified as reserves, and there is no certainty that these resources will be economically viable or converted to reserves in the future.
• Significant Investment Required: The rare earth and critical minerals initiatives are new and require ongoing and potentially substantial investments by Ramaco.
