<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;26, 2018, Gemma Power Systems, LLC (&#147;GPS&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Argan,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Argan&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), issued a press release announcing it has entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction services contract to construct the Chickahominy Power Station (the &#147;EPC Contract&#148;), a 1,600 MW state-of-the-art natural gas-fired power plant, in Charles City County, Virginia. The facility is being developed by Balico, LLC, the parent company of Chickahominy Power, LLC, the project owner.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, Argan hereby clarifies that it does not intend to place the value of the EPC Contract into project backlog until the Chickahominy Power Station project gets closer to its start date.</font> The EPC Contract relates to the power plant, identified in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended January&nbsp;31, 2018 (the &#147;2018 Annual Report&#148;) with a power generation capacity planned at the time of 1,650 MW, that is currently being developed with certain financial and engineering support provided by the Company. The value of the EPC Contract is one of several other projects, for which GPS has been selected by project owners to negotiate an EPC services contract, with an aggregate potential project value in excess of $1.5 billion that is also disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.</p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">June&nbsp;26, 2018 &#151; GLASTONBURY, CT&nbsp;&amp; HERNDON, VA</font>&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Gemma Power Systems, LLC (GPS) and Chickahominy Power, LLC have entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services contract to construct the Chickahominy Power Station, a 1,600 MW state-of-the-art natural gas-fired power plant, in Charles City County, Virginia. The facility is being developed by Balico, LLC, the parent company of Chickahominy Power.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Chickahominy project features three advanced class combustion turbine power trains in single shaft configuration and includes air cooled condensers to limit water use. The project will be powered exclusively by clean natural gas from the Marcellus shale formation. The site of the plant is located strategically between the rapidly growing economies of Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads &#151; where electricity demand is expected to increase with the many data centers planned and under construction in the region.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We appreciate the confidence the Balico team has shown in us and we look forward to a continuing and long relationship with them,&#148; said William F. Griffin,&nbsp;Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Gemma Power Systems. &#147;We&#146;re pleased to be working in this region and we look forward to establishing positive relationships with the surrounding communities,&#148; he said.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Gemma has a strong and growing reputation throughout the industry and we are impressed with their collaborative approach and the value of the expertise they bring to the development process,&#148; said Irfan K. Ali, Managing Member of Balico. &#147;Given today&#146;s rapid changes in the power sector, dealing with complex engineering challenges is paramount to success and Gemma brings a great deal of relevant experience to our project&#148; he added.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Chickahominy Power Station is named to honor the Chickahominy Nation, an indigenous people that has populated the lands in east central Virginia near Richmond for centuries. The project is anticipated to get underway in the first quarter of 2019 and be completed in the spring of 2022.</font></p>
