PAMT CORP (NASDAQ: PAMT) (the “Company”) today announced that it has increased the minimum purchase price in its modified “Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to 435,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”). The Company is offering to purchase its common stock at a price per share not less than $14.50 and not greater than $17.00.

Any shares tendered at a price below $14.50 per share will be deemed to have been tendered at $14.50 per share.

Except as set forth herein, the complete terms and conditions of the tender offer remain the same as set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 3, 2025, and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 1, 2025, unless extended or withdrawn, and shares properly tendered will remain tendered unless withdrawn by the tendering stockholder on or before the expiration of the Offer.

The Company has retained Computer Share Trust Company, N.A., together with its parent company, Computershare, Inc., as the depositary for the tender offer and Georgeson LLC as the information agent. Questions regarding the tender offer should be directed to the information agent at (877) 354-2732 (toll free).
