Ramaco Resources Announces Details of Second Quarter Class B Stock Dividend
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 15, 2026 – Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: METC, METCB) has released the specifics regarding its second quarter Class B common stock dividend for 2026. This announcement, made via press release, includes final calculations on the dividend ratio and clarifies the method of payment, which are crucial details for shareholders and could have a material impact on share value.
Key Points from the Announcement
- Dividend Declaration: The Board of Directors previously approved a quarterly Class B common stock dividend of \$0.1369 per share, payable on June 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 12, 2026. Importantly, the dividend will be paid in shares of Class B common stock rather than cash.
- Dividend Calculation: The number of shares received is determined by dividing the dividend value (\$0.1369) by the closing price of Class B common stock on June 12, 2026, which was \$11.43 per share.
- Distribution Ratio: Based on the closing price, each Class B shareholder will receive 0.011977 shares of Class B common stock for every share held as of the record date.
- Fractional Shares: No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, shareholders will receive a cash payment for the fair value of any fractional share, calculated based on the closing price on the record date.
Potentially Price-Sensitive Information
- Share Dilution: The issuance of new Class B shares as dividends will increase the overall number of shares outstanding, which could impact the stock price by diluting existing holdings. Investors should monitor trading volumes and price reactions following the payment date.
- Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Project Update: Ramaco continues the exploration of the Brook Mine in Wyoming for rare earth and critical minerals, but cautions that the mine remains at the exploration stage. The company cannot assure that the Brook Mine will be successfully developed into a commercial-scale mine or that inferred resources will be converted to higher-confidence resources or reserves. This initiative is new for Ramaco and requires significant investments, which could affect future profitability and risk profile.
- Forward-Looking Statements and Risks: The company highlights numerous risks including possible delays in mine development, government regulation changes, market demand fluctuations, and performance of railway logistics. These factors could materially affect future results and share price.
- Intellectual Property Portfolio: Ramaco holds over 70 patents and related intellectual property, particularly relating to advanced carbon products and materials. This positions the company for potential commercialization of novel products, but also introduces execution risk.
Company Overview and Outlook
Ramaco Resources operates four active metallurgical coal mining complexes in Central Appalachia and one coal mine with a rare earth and critical minerals exploration project in Wyoming. The Wyoming Brook Mine is contiguous with a carbon research facility, which may support future advanced carbon products. The company’s significant intellectual property portfolio includes patents, pending applications, exclusive licensing agreements, and trademarks.
Ramaco’s forward-looking statements address anticipated production volumes, sales, capital expenditures, demand for metallurgical coal, and the commercialization of rare earth and critical mineral projects. However, these projections are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the company’s control.
