On January 30, 2026, equity awards in both Class A and Class B common stock converted into shares, with a portion withheld to satisfy tax obligations.

How many METC performance stock units vested for Jason Todd Fannin?

The compensation committee certified pre-established performance targets at 200% for the 2023–2025 period, triggering these additional vesting amounts under Ramaco Resources’ Long Term Incentive Plan.

Why did Jason Todd Fannin surrender METC shares in this Form 4?

Fannin surrendered shares solely to satisfy tax obligations arising upon vesting of equity awards. Class A shares were withheld based on a $19.97 closing price, and Class B shares on a $12.43 price, both as of January 29, 2026, rather than through open-market discretionary sales.

The compensation committee certified that pre-established performance targets for the 2023–2025 period were achieved at 200%. This certification caused additional performance stock units to vest, resulting in 64,593 Class A and 12,918 Class B shares being approved for Jason Todd Fannin under the company’s incentive plan.

What types of METC equity awards are involved in this Form 4?

The filing covers performance stock units, restricted stock units, and dividend equivalent units tied to both Class A and Class B shares. Vesting of these derivative awards on January 30, 2026 resulted in corresponding common stock, with certain shares withheld to cover associated tax liabilities.
