EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) Barnwell Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2025, regarding the appointment of Joshua E. Schechter as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), solely to supplement the Original 8-K with compensation information that was unavailable at the time of the Original 8-K filing. The disclosure included in the Original 8-K otherwise remains unchanged.

Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Non-employee directors of the Company currently receive annual director’s fees for the Company’s fiscal year, ending September 30, 2026, of $120,000 (exclusive of any additional fees that may be paid in service on board committees). The Company’s recent practice has been to pay such director’s fee with a combination of one-half in restricted stock units and one-half in cash. In connection with his appointment to the Board, on December 3, 2025, Mr. Schechter was granted restricted stock units valued at $50,000, representing a prorated grant from the effective date of his appointment to the Board through September 20, 2026, the end of the Company’s fiscal year, for the restricted stock unit portion of his director fees; the remainder of his director fees for the 2026 fiscal year will be paid in cash.
