Ramaco Resources Announces
Third Quarter Class
B Stock Dividend Details
LEXINGTON, Ky., September 14, 2026 (PRNEWSWIRE) – Ramaco Resources,
Inc. (NASDAQ: METC, METCB, “Ramaco” or the “Company”) today announced the dividend ratio of its previously
declared Class B common stock dividend for the third quarter of 2026.
As previously announced, the board of directors approved and declared
a quarterly Class B common stock dividend of $0.1535 per share of Class B common stock, payable on September 25, 2026 (the “Payment
Date”), to shareholders of record on September 11, 2026 (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 $0.1535 by the closing
transaction price of the Class B common stock on September 11, 2026, which was $5.99 per share (the “Class B Closing Price”).
Based on the Class B Closing Price, each Class B common stockholder
will receive 0.025626 of one share of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock held by the Class B common stockholder
at the close of the market on September 11, 2026.
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.
For additional information please see our Current Report on Form 8-K
which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission later today.
ABOUT RAMACO RESOURCES
Ramaco Resources, Inc. is an operator and developer of high-quality,
low-cost metallurgical coal in southern West Virginia, and southwestern Virginia and exploring a coal, rare earth and other critical minerals
project in Wyoming. The Company’s executive offices are located in Lexington, Kentucky, with operational offices in Charleston, West Virginia
and Sheridan, Wyoming. The Company currently has four active metallurgical coal mining complexes in Central Appalachia and one coal mine
and rare earth element and other critical mineral exploration stage property near Sheridan, Wyoming (the “Brook Mine”). The
Brook Mine remains an exploration stage property, and no assurance can be given that it will be successfully developed into a commercial
scale mine or that any inferred mineral resources estimated will be converted into higher confidence mineral resources or eventually mineral
reserves. Contiguous to the Brook Mine, the Company operates a carbon research facility related to the potential production of advanced
carbon products and materials from coal. In connection with these activities, it holds a body of more than 70 intellectual property patents,
pending applications, exclusive licensing agreements and various trademarks. News and additional information about Ramaco Resources, including
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are available at https://www.ramacoresources.com. For more information, contact

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this news release constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements
related to future production volumes and sales, anticipated capital expenditures, expected demand for metallurgical coal, the development
and commercialization of the Brook Mine rare earth and critical mineral project, projected operating costs and margins, and the Company’s
financial guidance and outlook. 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 increase production at our existing met coal 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 impact of tariffs imposed by the United States and foreign governments, the further decline
of demand for coal in export markets and underperformance of the railroads, the Company’s ability to successfully develop the exploratory
Brook Mine rare earth and critical mineral project, including whether the Company’s exploration target and estimates for such mine are
realized, the timing of the initial production of rare earth concentrates, the development of a pilot and ultimately a full scale commercial
processing facility. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not meet the threshold for reserve modifying factors, such as estimated
economic viability, that would allow for conversion to mineral reserves. There is no certainty that any part of the inferred mineral resources
estimated at Brook Mine will be converted into higher confidence mineral resources and eventually mineral reserves in the future. Rare
earth and critical minerals are a new initiative for us and, as such, has required and will continue to require us to make significant
investments to build out our rare earth and other critical mineral capabilities.
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.
