<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">On November 2, 2018, Ramaco Resources, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) executed&nbsp;a Credit and Security Agreement (the &ldquo;Credit and Security Agreement&rdquo;) by and among: (i)&nbsp;Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, lender and issuer; (ii)&nbsp;such other lenders that are now or hereafter become a party thereto; and (iii)&nbsp;the Company, Ramaco Development, LLC, RAM Mining, LLC, Ramaco Coal Sales, LLC, Ramaco Resources, LLC and Ramaco Resources Land Holdings, LLC (collectively, the &ldquo;Borrowers&rdquo;) (the &ldquo;Credit Facility&rdquo;). The aggregate initial commitment of the lenders under the Credit Facility is a $10.0 million term loan (the &ldquo;Term Loan&rdquo;) and $30.0 million revolving line of credit (the &ldquo;Line of Credit&rdquo;). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 2, 2021. The initial borrowing base for the Line of Credit is equal to 100% of eligible cash, plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 65% of eligible coal inventory, less required reserves.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Term Loan bears interest at either the base rate plus a margin of 3.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. Revolving loans under the Line of Credit bear interest at either the base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.35%. The base rate equals the highest of (i) the administrative agent&rsquo;s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) LIBOR plus 1%. 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 December 31, 2018 for the period equal to four consecutive fiscal quarters then ending and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter for the period equal to the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ending.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Credit and Security Agreement includes events of default relating to customary 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. Many events of default are subject to customary notice and cure periods.</p>

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 2, 2018, Ramaco Resources, Inc. (the "Company") executed a Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit and Security Agreement") by and among: (i) Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, lender and issuer; (ii) such other lenders that are now or hereafter become a party thereto; and (iii) the Company, Ramaco Development, LLC, RAM Mining, LLC, Ramaco Coal Sales, LLC, Ramaco Resources, LLC and Ramaco Resources Land Holdings, LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers") (the "Credit Facility"). The aggregate initial commitment of the lenders under the Credit Facility is a $10.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and $30.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit"). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 2, 2021. The initial borrowing base for the Line of Credit is equal to 100% of eligible cash, plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 65% of eligible coal inventory, less required reserves.
The Term Loan bears interest at either the base rate plus a margin of 3.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. Revolving loans under the Line of Credit bear interest at either the base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.35%. 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) LIBOR plus 1%. 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 December 31, 2018 for the period equal to four consecutive fiscal quarters then ending and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter for the period equal to the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ending.
The Credit and Security Agreement includes events of default relating to customary 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. Many 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.
