On August 31, 2016, Ramaco Development, LLC (Ramaco Development) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the Series A SPA) with the ECP Mezz Funds and Yorktown Energy Partners XI, L.P. (Yorktown XI), whereby the ECP Mezz Funds purchased 2,500,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units for $50,000,000 and Yorktown XI purchased 2,000,000 Series A Convertible Units for $40,000,000. The ECP Mezz Funds used funds provided by its investors in order to acquire the Series A Convertible Preferred Units.
The Issuer was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware to become a holding company for Ramaco Developments assets and operations.

As a result of the reorganization, Ramaco Development became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 3 and Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the closing of the initial public offering of the Issuer, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (Registration Rights Agreement) with each of the ECP Mezz Funds and certain other
CUSIP No. 75134P 303 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 10 of 14 Pages |
stockholders of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to register the sale of shares of Common Stock under certain circumstances.
Demand Rights
At any time after the 180 day lock-up period and subject to certain limitations, each ECP Mezz Fund (or its permitted transferees) (together with the Yorktown Funds and certain management members, the Holders) (the Demand Holders) has the right to require the Issuer, by written notice, to prepare and file a registration statement registering the offer and sale of a certain number of its shares of Common Stock. Generally, the Issuer is required to provide notice of the request to certain other holders of the Common Stock who may, in certain circumstances, participate in the registration. Subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer is not obligated to effect a demand registration within 90 days after the closing of any underwritten offering of shares of its common stock. Further, each of the Demand Holders is entitled to no less than three demand registrations.
The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than a total of two demand registrations within any 365 day period. Once the Issuer is eligible to effect a registration on Form S-3, any such demand registration may be for a shelf registration statement. The Issuer is required to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of any such registration statement until the earlier of (i) 180 days (or two years in the case of a shelf registration statement) after the effective date thereof or (ii) the date on which all shares covered by such registration statement have been sold (subject to certain extensions).
In addition, each of the Demand Holders (or their permitted transferees) has the right to require the Issuer, subject to certain limitations, to effect a distribution of any or all of its shares of Common Stock by means of an underwritten offering. In general, any demand for an underwritten offering (other than the first requested underwritten offering made in respect of a prior demand registration and other than a requested underwritten offering made concurrently with a demand registration) shall constitute a demand request subject to the limitations set forth above.
Piggyback Rights
Subject to certain exceptions, if at any time the Issuer proposes to register an offering of Common Stock or conduct an underwritten offering, whether or not for its own account, then the Issuer must notify the Holders (or their permitted transferees) of such proposal to allow them to include a specified number of their shares of Common Stock in that registration statement or underwritten offering, as applicable.
Conditions and Limitations; Expenses
The registration rights will be subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration and the Issuers right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Issuer will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective.
Shareholders Agreement
In connection with the closing of the initial public offering of the Issuer, the Issuer entered into a shareholders agreement (Shareholders Agreement) with the ECP Mezz Funds and the Yorktown Funds.
Voting and Governance Matters
Among other things, the Shareholders Agreement provides the Yorktown Funds and the ECP Mezz Funds with the right to designate a number of nominees (each Yorktown Funds nominee, a Yorktown Director and each ECP Mezz Funds nominee, an ECP Director) to the Issuers board of directors such that:
at least 5 directors of the board are Yorktown Directors for so long as the Yorktown Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; |
CUSIP No. 75134P 303 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 11 of 14 Pages |
at least 3 directors of the board are Yorktown Directors for so long as the Yorktown Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 50% but at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; |
at least 2 directors of the board are Yorktown Directors for so long as the Yorktown Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 25% but at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; |
at least 1 director of the board is a Yorktown Director for so long as the Yorktown Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 10% but at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; |
once the Yorktown Funds and their affiliates collectively own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Yorktown Funds will not have any board designation rights; |
at least 2 directors of the board are ECP Directors for so long as the ECP Mezz Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; |
at least 1 director of the board is a ECP Director for so long as the ECP Mezz Funds and their affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 10% but at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and |
once the ECP Funds and their affiliates collectively own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the ECP Mezz Funds will not have any board designation rights; |
The designation rights of the Yorktown Funds and the ECP Mezz Funds are exercisable at the option of each of the Yorktown Funds and the ECP Mezz Funds and each of the Yorktown Funds and the ECP Mezz Funds may designate a number of directors to serve on the Issuers board of directors that is less than the number shown above (or none at all). The designation rights of the ECP Mezz Funds and the Yorktown Funds will terminate automatically as to each such party upon the later of (i) the time at which such party no longer has the right to designate an individual for nomination to the Issuers board of directors under the Shareholders Agreement, and (ii) the time at which the Yorktown Funds and the ECP Mezz Funds cease to hold in aggregate at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the designation rights of the Yorktown Funds will terminate automatically upon the Yorktown Funds providing written notice to the ECP Mezz Funds and the Issuer.
Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the ECP Funds have designated Tyler Reeder and Trent Kososki as designees to the Issuers board of directors.
Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each of the Issuer, the ECP Mezz Funds and the Yorktown Funds agreed not to take any actions that would affect the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and the intention of the parties with respect to the composition of the Issuers board of directors as therein stated. Each of the ECP Mezz Funds and the Yorktown Funds agrees to cast all votes to which such stockholder is entitled in respect of its shares of Common Stock, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, so as to cause to be elected to the Issuers board of directors those individuals designated in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement (as described above) and to otherwise effect the intent of the Issuer board representation provisions of the Shareholders Agreement. Each of the ECP Mezz Funds and the Yorktown Funds agrees not to take action to remove each others director nominees from office pursuant to the Issuers Articles of Incorporation unless such removal is for cause.
The stock ownership reported for the Reporting Persons does not include any shares of Common Stock owned by other parties to the Shareholders Agreement, including the Yorktown Funds. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock owned by the other parties to the Shareholders Agreement, including the Yorktown Funds.
The foregoing descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement and Shareholders Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.
