Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. Announces Effectiveness of Registration Statement on Form S-4 in Connection with Previously Announced Up-C Simplification

Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE: AESI) (“Atlas” or the “Company”) today announced the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by New Atlas HoldCo Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Atlas”), in connection with the with the Company’s previously announced Up-C Simplification (as defined below), as well as the subsequent approval of the Up-C Simplification by holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock), and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B common stock, and, together with the Class A common stock, “common stock”).

As previously announced, on July 31, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Up-C simplification transaction (the "Up-C Simplification") pursuant to which, among other things, (i) all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and all outstanding operating units (“Operating Units”) of the Company’s operating subsidiary, Atlas Sand Operating, LLC, will be exchanged on a 1:1 basis for shares of common stock of New Atlas and (ii) all outstanding shares of our Class B common stock that correspond to the outstanding Operating Units will be surrendered and cancelled for no consideration. The overall proportionate economic ownership and voting percentage of our equity holders in our business after the Up-C Simplification will be the same as their current overall proportionate economic ownership of and voting percentage in our business immediately prior to completion of the Up-C Simplification. The Up-C Simplification is expected to simplify our current corporate structure into a single class of common stock, reduce overhead expenses and could result in increased demand for our stock from certain indices and asset managers due to the elimination of the dual-class share structure and associated bifurcation of our market capitalization. On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Reorganization Agreement (the “Master Reorganization Agreement”) setting forth the terms of the Up-C Simplification transaction, and on August 1, 2023, New Atlas filed the Registration Statement, which included an information statement of the Company and prospectus of New Atlas relating to the Up-C Simplification (the “Information Statement/Prospectus”).

On September 11, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared the Registration Statement effective. Thereafter, on September 12, 2023, holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock delivered a written consent approving the Company’s entry into the Master Reorganization Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the Company commenced mailing of the Information Statement/Prospectus to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 11, 2023. The Up-C Simplification is currently expected to be completed on October 2, 2023, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions specified in the Master Reorganization Agreement.
