Item 8.01 Other Events

On July 12, 2026, the Board of Directors of American Resources Corporation (the "Company") approved a share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock.

Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including, where appropriate, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by management based on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's Class A common stock, capital availability, cash flow, alternative investment opportunities, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other business considerations.

The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the authorization may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.
