To the Stockholders of US Ecology, Inc:

Due to the ongoing public-health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company has determined to change the format and location of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of US Ecology, Inc. (the “Company”) from in-person to virtual-only, as noted as a possibility in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”).

As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. However, in light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to protect the well-being of our employees and stockholders, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ECOL2020. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder at the close of business on April 6, 2020, the record date. The live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Online access to the audio webcast will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting in advance of the designated start time.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote in advance by one of the methods described in the proxy materials. During the Annual Meeting, the Company intends to cover those matters submitted for stockholder vote as described in the Proxy Statement. An update on the general business of the Company will not be provided at the Annual Meeting.

To attend and vote your shares during the Annual Meeting, you will need to log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ECOL2020 using, (i) for record holders, the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or the notice you previously received, or (ii) for holders who own shares in street name through brokers, the control number issued to you by your brokerage firm. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website. If you do not have a control number, you may access the meeting as a Guest, although you will not be able to vote or ask questions during the meeting.

Stockholders may submit questions during the Annual Meeting. If you wish to submit a question, you may do so by logging into the virtual meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ECOL2020, typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” Questions pertinent to the Annual Meeting will be answered subject to time constraints.

Beginning 15 minutes prior to, and during, the Annual Meeting, we will have support available to assist anyone with any technical difficulties they may have accessing or hearing the virtual meeting.
