Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 15, 2023, Ramaco Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”) by and among: (i) Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, lender, swing line lender and issuer; (ii) Keybanc Capital Markets, Inc., as lead arranger and sole book runner, (iii) Cadence Bank, as syndication agent, (iv) such other lenders that are now or hereafter become a party thereto; and (v) the Company, Ramaco Development, LLC, RAM Mining, LLC, Ramaco Coal Sales, LLC, Ramaco Resources, LLC, Ramaco Resources Land Holdings, LLC, Maben Coal LLC, Carbon Resources Development, Inc. and Ramaco Coal, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”). Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, the Company's overall credit facility increased to $175.0 million, consisting of an initial aggregate revolving commitment of the lenders of $125.0 million (the "Credit Facility") and an accordion feature of $50.0 million available, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit and Security Agreement, including the lenders' consent. The Company drew $25,000,000 immediately after entering the Credit and Security Agreement to prepay more expensive debt and for general working capital.

The Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 15, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base as set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement.

Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at either the base rate plus 1.50% or the secured overnight financing rate plus 2.00%. The base rate equals the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) 3.00%. The terms of the Credit Facility include covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Borrowers to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans, incur liens, consummate mergers and similar fundamental changes, make restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Credit and Security Agreement also contains a financial covenant that requires the Borrowers to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, on a consolidated basis, of not less than 1.10:1.00 calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2023 and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

The Credit and Security Agreement includes events of default relating to certain matters, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $250,000; bankruptcy; judgments involving liability in excess of $500,000 that are not paid; and change of control. Certain events of default are subject to customary notice and cure periods.

The above description of the material terms and conditions of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit and Security Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
