Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, Charah Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among Gibbons Creek Environmental Redevelopment Group, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Term Loan Borrower”), as borrower, the Company and Charah, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Charah, LLC”), as guarantors, and Charah Preferred Stock Aggregator, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as lender. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a delayed-draw term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement accrue interest at a percentage per annum equal to 12.0%, with interest payments due on the first business day of each calendar quarter following the effective date of the Term Loan Agreement, and on the maturity date.

On September 29, 2022, the Company elected to draw down $6.0 million of the Term Loan Agreement to fund operating activities. Immediately following this drawdown, $16.0 million of aggregate loans were outstanding and $4.0 million of borrowing capacity remained available under the Term Loan Agreement, representing the Company’s total borrowing capacity under all current long-term financing arrangements.

The foregoing description of the Term Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 15, 2022.
