About Charah Solutions, Inc.

Charah Solutions, Inc. (ticker CHRA) is a U.S.-based company. It was previously listed on the NYSE under the CHRA symbol and, following its acquisition, its common stock has been trading on the OTC Markets. For French-speaking investors, Charah is best understood as a specialized environmental services company serving the power-generation industry, with a long-standing focus on coal-related byproducts, remediation, and compliance work. The company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, and operates through a nationwide footprint of customer-site embedded teams and field operations. Founded in 1987, Charah has evolved over time into an integrated service platform for utilities and industrial power customers. Charah Solutions’ core business centers on ash management and environmental remediation for power plants. Its service offering includes ash pond management, landfill design and operations, pond and landfill closure services, remediation and compliance work, coal combustion product handling, fly ash and bottom ash marketing and sales, raw material support, and Environmental Risk Transfer services. In practical terms, the company helps utilities manage, transport, recycle, and beneficially use coal-combustion byproducts while addressing complex environmental liabilities. That makes Charah more of a full-service technical partner than a single-service contractor. From a competitive standpoint, the company occupies a niche position in the U.S. utility services market. Its differentiation is based on execution capabilities, regulatory compliance, safety performance, domain expertise, and the ability to deliver multi-service solutions at customer sites. Charah has stated that it has served more than 40 coal-fired generation sites nationwide, which underscores a broad geographic presence across the United States rather than a regional-only footprint. This national reach is important because coal-ash remediation, closure, and recycling projects are typically site-specific and technically demanding. A major recent development was the completion of Charah Solutions’ acquisition by funds managed by SER Capital Partners in July 2023. That transaction marked a significant change in the company’s capital-market profile and helps explain why the stock is now quoted on the OTC Markets rather than on a major exchange such as the NYSE or NASDAQ at the time of the referenced materials. Operationally, the company continues to emphasize sustainability-oriented services, environmental compliance, and byproduct recycling in support of a lower-emissions power sector. For investors, the key takeaway is that Charah remains tied to long-duration environmental cleanup and utility support demand, but its public-market visibility and trading venue have changed materially following the take-private transaction.
