<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">WARREN, Ohio (July 30, 2018) &ndash; Avalon Holdings Corporation (NYSE American:&nbsp; AWX) (&ldquo;Avalon&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) has announced today that the Company has received numerous inquiries regarding recent trading activity in the Company&rsquo;s stock.&nbsp; The Company has reviewed the Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2018.&nbsp; The entity filing the Form 3 is not affiliated with the Company and Avalon has no information about that entity&rsquo;s intentions regarding its holdings.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">In response to inquiries regarding a potential change in control, Mr. Ronald Klingle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, holds approximately 67% of the voting power in Avalon, and has advised the Company that he has no present plans to divest any of his holdings.
