Arizona Tribune - American Resources Corporation Issues Press Release in Connection with Form 8-K Filing Regarding Nasdaq Notice

This press release is issued in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(b)(1) and reflects information previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K.

As previously disclosed, on April 24, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the Company's delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Form 10-K").

The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Form 10-K for the Company to regain compliance.

The Company is actively working with its independent registered public accounting firm to complete the Form 10-K. The delay is primarily related to the Company's ongoing efforts to reflect the deconsolidation of certain operations and a streamlined business structure within its financial statements. The Company intends to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable within the applicable compliance period.
