#### EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-A/A is filed by Barnwell Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant"), to supplement and amend the information set forth on the Form 8-A filed by the Registrant on October 17, 2023.

**Item 1.** **Description of Registrant's Securities To Be Registered.**<br>

On January 25, 2023, the Registrant and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as rights agent (the "Rights Agent"), entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated as of October 17, 2022, by and between the Registrant and the Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement") filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2022.

The Amendment accelerates the expiration of the Registrant's rights (the "Rights") under the Rights Agreement to January 25, 2023. Consequently, the Rights Agreement terminated at that time. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all Rights distributed to holders of the Registrant's common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this registration statement.

**Item 2.** **Exhibits.**<br>
