BARNWELL INDUSTRIES INC

Rights plan effective Jan 26, 2025; expires Jan 26, 2026; triggered at 20% ownership; Sherwood Group grandfathered at ~30% but cannot buy additional 0.25%+.
Special committee formed Nov 7, 2024 recommended plan after Sherwood Group rebuffed engagement and cooperation agreement expired.
Rights become exercisable upon trigger; each right allows purchase of common stock at effectively half price; Board can redeem at $0.001/right.
Press release states Sherwood designees may seek to exit oil & gas business; potential proxy fight at next annual meeting.
Plan designed to prevent creeping control and ensure fair treatment for all shareholders; any extension requires shareholder vote.
