FAQs

Our company trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol "ARQ".

As of 1st February we have approximately 33 million shares of common stock outstanding. The number of shares outstanding at any point in time fluctuates slightly as a result of the exercise of stock options or upon the forfeiture of restricted stock awards. However, the number of outstanding options and unvested restricted stock awards is not material to the overall number of shares outstanding. A more precise number of shares outstanding can be obtained by reviewing our most current annual or quarterly SEC filing. Please see more information on the terms of the preferred stock in our SEC filings.

Arq, formerly known as Advanced Emissions Solutions (ADES), was founded in 1996 with a focus on emissions control and solutions and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ADES” in 2011. Over its nearly three decades, the company has expanded and evolved its portfolio of emissions-focused products and services. In February 2023, ADES completed a transformational acquisition of Arq. The Company was rebranded to Arq in February 2024 and adopted the new Nasdaq ticker symbol “ARQ”, with the new name representing its broader focus as an environmental technology company.

The acquisition of Arq in February 2023 transformed the Company into a leading North American environmental technology firm. Integrating Arq's unique bituminous coal waste feedstock with proven expertise in providing emissions solutions to customers in power generation and other industries, enables the Company to enhance its existing market position in activated carbon, boost its exposure to higher growth and higher margin products, significantly cut its carbon footprint and facilitate a fully integrated supply chain. The acquisition also created potential opportunities for the Company to enter into additional markets beyond activated carbon, with its proprietary Arq powder as a lower emissions alternative to existing products and feedstocks.

We are aware of occasional confusion among investors regarding Arq's insider stock transactions. Similar to many public companies, Arq's employee stock incentive program requires that we conduct “sell-to-cover” transactions upon vesting of certain incentive awards (including restricted stock awards (RSAs) to satisfy the tax withholding obligation. This policy is applicable to all Arq employees. Further, as a public company, all stock transactions, voluntary as well as non-discretionary, made by Arq Section 16 officers must be reported publicly to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – this includes open market purchases/sales as well as both the award / grant of new RSA s, and the sale to cover anticipated taxes. While sell-to-cover transactions are not the same as an executive proactively selling shares (since the sale-to-cover is an automatic sale to cover taxes at the time of vesting), these transactions are often reported inaccurately by some news outlets and interpreted by investors as proactive selling by insiders. You should expect to see these sell-to-cover transactions periodically as more RSAs (or other equity awards) vest. Please note, you can confirm the nature of a stock transaction by referencing the footnotes in the Form 4 disclosure filed with the SEC.
