REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES

This Registration Statement is being filed by the Corporation pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a Second Amendment to the Plan (the “Second Amendment”) on March 15, 2018, and the Second Amendment was adopted by the Corporation’s shareholders on May 15, 2018. The Second Amendment amends the terms of the Plan to, among other things, increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan from 1,500,000 Shares to 2,500,000 Shares and extend the term of the Plan by three years through June 1, 2021.

The company originally established the Arabian American Development Company Stock and Incentive Plan on April 3, 2012. On September 4, 2015, the Board Approved the first amendment to the Plan (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment modified the name of the plan to “Trecora Resources Stock and Incentive Plan” and extended the term of the Plan by three years through June 1, 2018. The First Amendment was approved and ratified by the stockholders at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

These Shares are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Reg. Nos. 333-188451) was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission”) on May 8, 2013 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). The information contained in the Prior Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Registration Statement, except as amended hereby. Further registration statements on Form S-8 will be filed with respect to any additional securities that may be offered or issued pursuant to the Plan.
