CKX LANDS, INC.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains information that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. Forward-looking statements include those pertaining to the review of strategic alternatives for CKX, as well as those identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “aim,” “should,” “plan,” “goal,” “future,” “will,” “may,” and similar expressions or by using future dates. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the company’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the company’s control. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the time made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. Our company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events or developments to differ materially from the company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (1) whether the objectives of the strategic alternatives review process will be achieved; (2) the terms, structure, benefits and costs of any strategic transaction; (3) the timing of any transaction and whether any transaction will be consummated at all; (4) the risk that the strategic alternatives review and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of the company to retain customers, retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and other business relationships, and on its operating results, stock price and business generally; (5) general economic and market conditions; (6) the risk the strategic alternatives review could divert the attention and time of the company’s management; (7) the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the review; (8) the risk of any litigation relating to the review; (9) and the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
