On November 1, 2019, US Ecology, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”) in which the Company acquired NRC Group Holdings Corp. (“NRCG”). In the Merger, warrants to purchase shares of NRCG common stock, par value $0.0001, were converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “ECOL Warrants”). In connection with the closing of the Merger, the ECOL Warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq GS”) under the symbol “ECOLW.”

On November 19, 2019, the Company notified Nasdaq that it intends to delist the ECOL Warrants from Nasdaq GS, effective prior to the open of trading on December 9, 2019, because the ECOL Warrants do not meet the minimum 400 round lot holder requirement for listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5515(a)(4).

The Company intends to pursue a listing of the ECOL Warrants on the NYSE American exchange where it believes the ECOL Warrants would satisfy all of the exchange’s initial listing criteria, including that exchange’s round lot holder requirements, on or prior to December 9, 2019. There can be no assurance that the Company will list the ECOL Warrants on the NYSE American exchange in the anticipated timeframe or at all. The Company anticipates that, if it is unable to list the ECOL Warrants on the NYSE American exchange prior to the delisting of ECOL Warrants from Nasdaq GS, the ECOL Warrants will be eligible for trading on the over-the-counter markets operated by OTC Markets Group.

The anticipated voluntary delisting of the ECOL Warrants from Nasdaq GS does not have, and is not expected to have, an impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq GS under the symbol “ECOL.”
