<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">LAKE CHARLES, La. (April 9, 2020) &#8212; CKX Lands, Inc. (NYSE American: CKX) today announced that the third-party facility that prints and mails to the Company&#8217;s shareholders its annual meeting proxy materials has been forced to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company will not be able to mail a full set of annual meeting materials to all of its shareholders for its annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 7, 2020. Instead, for certain shareholders, the Company will rely on rules that allow it to mail a notice to shareholders giving the internet address where shareholders may access the annual meeting materials on-line. The Company began mailing this notice today.</p>
