ADA-ES Announces Annual Shareholders Meeting and Reorganization

ADA-ES, Inc. ADES today announced that it will hold its annual meeting of shareholders at 9:00 a.m. on May 25, 2011 at the Pinehurst Country Club, located at 6255 W. Quincy Avenue, Denver, Colorado.

At the meeting, ADA shareholders will be asked, among other things, to consider and vote on a proposal to approve an agreement and plan of merger among a new holding company incorporated in Delaware named Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc., ADA and a subsidiary of ADES whereby ADA will merge with the new subsidiary and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the new holding company. In the merger, the current ADA shareholders will become stockholders of ADES on a one-for-one basis, holding the same number of shares and same ownership percentage after the reorganization as they held immediately prior to the reorganization.

Upon completion of the reorganization, ADES would replace the present company as the publicly held corporation and it and its subsidiaries will conduct all of the operations we currently conduct. The directors and executive officers of ADA prior to the reorganization would be the same as the directors and executive officers of ADES following the reorganization. We expect that the shares of ADES common stock will trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ADES.”
