Houston, Texas (September 20, 2005) -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (AMEX:AE) announced today the resignations of R. H. (Steve) Stevens, Jr. and Vincent H. Buckley from its Board of Directors.

Therefore, effective September 20, 2005, Mr. Stevens resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. He was subsequently appointed as a non-voting advisory member of the Board.

In order to maintain the makeup of the Company’s Board of Directors to include a majority of outside independent directors, Mr. Vincent Buckley agreed to resign as a Director as of September 20, 2005.
