ADA-ES Provides Refined Coal Update

Contracts for Two Existing Refined Coal Facilities Restructured

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ADA-ES, Inc. (NAS: ADES) ("ADA" or the "Company") today announced amendments to the leases between its Clean Coal Solutions (CCS) joint venture and an affiliate of Goldman Sachs ("Goldman") for the two longest operating Refined Coal (RC) facilities.


CCS and Goldman have amended the leases for the two longest operating RC facilities to change the structure and timing of the lease payments. The payments will be paid quarterly in advance and subject to adjustments for inflation. Each lease has an initial non-cancellable term of two years and will automatically renew, unless terminated at the option of the lessee thereof, for successive one-year terms through November 9, 2021 and December 10, 2021, as applicable. Revenues to CCS are expected to remain at similar levels as seen under the prior agreements.

Commenting on the outlook for the RC business, Dr. Michael D. Durham, President and CEO, said, "With the restructuring of these agreements and our recent closing of a RC facility with a third financial investor, our RC business is back on track after several months of delays. We expect that the recent resumption of the issuance of Private Letter Rulings for Section 45 RC requests will assist with timely closing of contracts for a number of additional RC facilities throughout this year and into 2014."
