Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NYSE: METC) reported on June 25, 2026, that E. Forrest Jones, Jr., a former member of the company’s Board of Directors, has passed away. The company disclosed the news in a Form 8-K under Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure, and issued a press release the same day. Jones had continued to serve Ramaco in senior advisory and legal capacities after his board service. According to the filing, he had been the company’s General Counsel since May 2025 and had held the title of Director Emeritus since March 2025. The disclosure identifies him as both a former director and an ongoing executive/legal adviser at the time of his death. The filing does not report a securities transaction, change in control, equity award, insider sale or purchase, option exercise, or any share-count or price-related activity. No transaction codes, ownership changes, vesting terms, or derivative-security details were included because the 8-K concerns a corporate announcement rather than an insider trading event. Ramaco furnished the press release as Exhibit 99.1 and also listed the required Inline XBRL cover page file as Exhibit 104. The company stated that the information furnished under Item 7.01, including the press release, is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act and is not automatically incorporated into other Securities Act or Exchange Act filings unless specifically referenced. The report was signed on behalf of Ramaco Resources by Randall W. Atkins, the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on June 25, 2026.
