DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Number 333-256047) filed by Charah Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 12, 2021, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), which registered for resale up to 15,455,921 shares (the “Securities”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), and removes from registration all Securities previously registered under the Registration Statement that have not been sold or otherwise issued as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.

On April 16, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Acquisition Parent 0423 Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and Acquisition Sub April 2023, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on July 13, 2023, upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Item 17(a)(iii) of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Securities registered under the Registration Statement for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration any and all of the Securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

In addition, on April 18, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”) filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist the Common Stock from NYSE and to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
