Ramaco Resources, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
On December 23, 2025, Ramaco Resources, Inc. (METC) announced that its board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to buy up to $100 million of the company’s Class A common stock over a 24-month period. The company issued a press release (attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K) and said repurchases may be made in the open market, through privately negotiated or block purchases, or by other means. The Board also authorized the company to adopt written trading plans under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases through a third‑party broker.

Key Details

• Board authorization date: December 23, 2025.
• Program size: up to $100 million of Class A common stock.
• Timeframe: authorized for a 24‑month period.
• Repurchase methods: open-market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases, and Rule 10b-18 trading plans with a broker.
• Disclosure & timing: Company said it cannot predict if or when repurchases will occur; future repurchases and amounts will be reported in periodic Form 10-Q and 10-K filings.

Why It Matters
A board-authorized buyback gives management flexibility to return capital and potentially reduce outstanding shares if market conditions and company priorities permit. For investors, the program can indicate the company views its stock as an attractive use of capital, but repurchases are discretionary and depend on price, liquidity, business needs and other opportunities. The Form 8-K also includes the company’s forward-looking cautionary language; actual repurchases and their timing will be reported in future SEC filings.
