Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

On January 6, 2021, American Resources Corporation (“AREC” or the “Company”) received a letter from Nasdaq Regulation (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end of December 31, 2019 as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).

The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until February 22, 2021, to submit a plan to regain compliance including the scheduling and timetable of its annual meeting of shareholders. If the submitted plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Company’s fiscal year end of December 31, 2020, or until June 29, 2021, to regain compliance.

American Resources has submitted its plan to Nasdaq and is committed to execute its plan and to hold its annual meeting of shareholders in a timeframe that meets the proposed exemption period afforded by Nasdaq and its Listing Rules. The Company expects that following its annual meeting of shareholders it will have regained full compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
