(the “Company”) delivered a notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them that the Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) will be “blacked out” to effect any transaction in Company stock through Plan accounts and from exercising certain account activities under the Plan. The Notice states that, as a result of the foregoing changes, Plan participants will temporarily be unable to transact in their accounts during a period that will begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 26, 2017 and will end on or about January 3, 2018 .

The Notice further states that the limitations on transactions under the Plan during the blackout will impact the participants’ ability to trade in the Company’s common stock through the Plan and thus, pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation BTR (Blackout Trading Restriction), the Company’s directors and executive officers are prohibited from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, or otherwise acquiring or transferring any equity security of the Company during the entire period that the participant transactions are restricted under the Plan.
