LEXINGTON, Ky., September 8, 2025 (PRNEWSWIRE) – Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: METC, METCB, “Ramaco” or the “Company”) a leading operator and developer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in Central Appalachia and developing producer of coal, rare earth elements and critical minerals in Wyoming, today announced the dividend ratio of its previously declared Class B common stock dividend for the third quarter of 2025.
As previously announced, the board of directors approved and declared a quarterly Class B common stock dividend of $0.1918 per share of Class B common stock, payable on September 19, 2025 (the “Payment Date”), to shareholders of record on September 5, 2025 (the “Record Date”), with the dividend to be paid in shares of Class B common stock.
Also as previously announced, Class B common stockholders will receive a number of shares of Class B common stock for each share owned of Class B common stock determined by dividing $0.1918 by the closing transaction price of the Class B common stock on September 5, 2025, which was $16.00 per share (the “Class B Closing Price”).

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the above-described stock dividend. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, the Company will pay in cash on the Payment Date the fair value of the fractions of a share issuable, determined as of the close of Nasdaq on the Record Date and based upon the Class B Closing Price.

These forward-looking statements represent Ramaco Resources’ expectations or beliefs concerning guidance, future events, anticipated revenue, future demand and production levels, macroeconomic trends, the development of ongoing projects, costs and expectations regarding operating results, and it is possible that the results described in this news release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of Ramaco Resources’ control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, unexpected delays in our current mine development activities, the ability to successfully ramp up production at our complexes in accordance with the Company’s growth initiatives, failure of our sales commitment counterparties to perform, increased government regulation of coal in the United States or internationally, the further decline of demand for coal in export markets and underperformance of the railroads, the expected benefits of the Ramaco Coal and Maben acquisitions to the Company’s shareholders, the anticipated benefits and impacts of the Ramaco Coal and Maben acquisitions, and the Company’s ability to successfully develop the Brook Mine, including whether the increase in the Company’s exploration target and estimates for such mine are realized. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as required by law, Ramaco Resources does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Ramaco Resources to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements found in Ramaco Resources’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The risk factors and other factors noted in Ramaco Resources’ SEC filings could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
