Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 13, 2026, Ramaco Resources, Inc. (the "Company") was served with a summons in connection with a putative class action complaint filed on January 30, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:26-cv-00846, naming as plaintiff Lynn Henning, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, and naming as defendants the Company, Randall W. Atkins (the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), and Jeremy R. Sussman (the Company's Chief Financial Officer), alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder arising from allegedly materially false and/or misleading statements concerning the development and active mining status of the Company's Brook Mine rare earth and critical minerals project in Wyoming during the class period of July 31, 2025 through October 23, 2025. The plaintiff seeks determination of class action status under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, an award of compensatory damages against all defendants jointly and severally for all damages sustained (including interest), reasonable costs and expenses including counsel fees and expert fees, and such other relief as the court deems just and proper.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims in this matter and intends to defend the case vigorously.
