American Resources Corporation filings document governance, reporting, listing-compliance and subsidiary-financing disclosures for a Nasdaq-listed operating company focused on critical minerals and related infrastructure. Proxy materials and annual-meeting reports cover director elections, auditor ratification, board committee appointments and shareholder voting results.
Recent 8-K filings also address Nasdaq listing-rule compliance tied to annual-meeting timing and Regulation FD disclosures concerning Electrified Materials. The company's Form 12b-25 filing records annual-report timing matters and the preparation of audited financial statements, while its broader SEC record frames capital structure, corporate governance and material-event reporting obligations.
American Resources Corp (AREC) received a Nasdaq exception through November 16, 2026, to file its delinquent quarterly reports for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2026, and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq had previously allowed until October 15, 2026, for the March report; after the June report also became delinquent, the company submitted an updated compliance plan requesting more time for both. The company says it is working toward completing the reports before October 15, while the exception allows through November 16 if needed. The exception has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of AREC Class A common stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under AREC.
American Resources Corporation (AREC) acquired specified real property, structures, fixtures and equipment from Wyoming County Coal LLC in Wyoming County, West Virginia, on September 29, 2026. The consideration consists of AREC's settlement of pending litigation for an aggregate settlement amount of $40.0 million. The assets include rights to valuable elements and minerals that may be contained in refuse piles on or within the conveyed property.
The assets are to be conveyed free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than those identified in the deed. The acquisition does not include or continue Wyoming County Coal's mining operations, permits or licenses, and AREC is not assuming its historical mining, reclamation, environmental or other operating liabilities, including asset retirement obligations. Ownership transferred when the agreement became effective. AREC intends to evaluate the assets as part of its critical-mineral feedstock and resource strategy; future development or processing is subject to permitting, regulatory and commercial requirements.
American Resources Corp (AREC) disclosed that on August 20, 2026 it received a notice from Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company had already been delinquent on its Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, for which Nasdaq had granted an extension to October 15, 2026. The new notice does not immediately affect the listing or trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. American Resources must amend its existing compliance plan to address the additional June 30, 2026 Form 10‑Q delinquency and submit this amendment to Nasdaq by September 4, 2026; if accepted, any extension for the June 30 filing would run only through October 15, 2026.

American Resources Corporation reports an amended timeline around the change of its independent auditor and the status of its 2025 financial statements. On June 30, 2026, the Audit Committee dismissed GreenGrowth CPAs as the independent registered public accounting firm. GreenGrowth’s report on the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification, and the company cites no disagreements or reportable events other than previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

After a July 3, 2026 letter from GreenGrowth indicating an intention to withdraw its opinion without additional responses, GreenGrowth’s audit opinion on the December 31, 2025 financial statements was deemed not to be relied upon as of July 13, 2026, and UHY has been engaged to perform a new audit of those periods.

GreenGrowth’s prior report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualifications, and the company reports there were no disagreements on accounting principles, disclosure, or audit procedures, and no reportable events beyond previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

American Resources Corporation declared a special cash dividend of $0.0431 per share on its common stock. The dividend is payable on August 25, 2026 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2026.
The board describes this as part of a disciplined capital allocation approach and states it believes the company is undervalued given its cash position, minority stake in ReElement Technologies, majority ownership of Electrified Materials Corp., and broader critical mineral asset portfolio.
American Resources Corporation approved a share repurchase program authorizing repurchases of up to $20.0 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. The program was approved on July 12, 2026.
Repurchases may occur from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other transactions, and may utilize Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management will determine the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases based on factors such as market conditions, the trading price of the Class A common stock, capital availability, cash flow, alternative investment opportunities, legal and regulatory requirements and other business considerations.
The authorization does not require the company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.
