Director Bryan H. Lawrence reported the sale of Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:METC) stock in filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, with transactions executed on March 27 and March 30, 2026. The combined proceeds from those dispositions totaled $3.05 million, with executed prices ranging from $10.3381 to $15.3076 per share.
The filings detail a sequence of transfers tied to three Yorktown Energy Partners vehicles. On March 27, Lawrence sold 59,350 shares of Class A common stock and 8,059 shares of Class B common stock held by Yorktown Energy Partners IX, L.P. On the same day he also disposed of 47,968 shares of Class A and 5,398 shares of Class B held by Yorktown Energy Partners X, L.P., plus 72,567 shares of Class A and 8,168 shares of Class B held by Yorktown Energy Partners XI, L.P.
Following that initial round, additional Class B share sales tied to the same Yorktown funds were reported on March 30. Those transfers comprised 2,266 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Yorktown Energy Partners IX, L.P., 1,518 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Yorktown Energy Partners X, L.P., and 2,297 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Yorktown Energy Partners XI, L.P.
Even after these transactions, the disclosure notes that Lawrence continues to hold shares of Ramaco Resources. The Form 4 filings do not indicate that Lawrence has fully exited his position.
The insider sales arrive while METC shares are trading at $15.46, a price point reached amid notable volatility. Over the most recent 12-month span the stock has gained 83%, yet it has declined 55% over the past six months. An InvestingPro analysis referenced in the filings places the stock on a Most Overvalued list relative to its Fair Value estimate and indicates there are eight additional ProTips available for METC that examine the company’s metrics and market position.
Separately, Ramaco Resources disclosed its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results. The company highlighted effective cost controls and operational resilience during the quarter despite a loss in earnings per share. Management indicated the quarter nonetheless marked a significant improvement in the company’s financial standing compared with prior conditions.
As part of its corporate changes, the company announced a reorganization that will split business operations into four separate divisions. Each division will be structured to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, with the stated objective of aligning business activities across distinct operating units.
Legal developments involving the company were also disclosed. Ramaco Resources has filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming against former employee Alex J. Moyes. The lawsuit alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and breaches of contract related to a non-disclosure agreement and an employment offer letter, and it seeks various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages.
In addition to Lawrence’s reported sales, company leadership activity included Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Randall W. Atkins’ exercise of stock options originally granted in connection with the company’s 2017 public offering. After tax provisions, Atkins acquired 177,187 shares of Class A stock and 54,429 shares of Class B stock.
