Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 23, 2008, Clean Harbors, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon terms and conditions set forth therein, 2,500,000 shares (the “Firm Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (“Stock”). The initial offering price to the public is $63.75 per share. The issuance and sale of the Firm Shares is expected to close on April 29, 2008.

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters also have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares (the “Optional Securities”) of Stock. The Underwriting Agreement defines the 2,500,000 Firm Shares and the up to 375,000 Optional Shares collectively as the “Securities.”

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Securities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

 

Certain of the Underwriters and their related entities have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the Company, for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expense reimbursements.

 

The Securities are registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-150296) (the “Registration Statement”), which relates to the public offering from time to time of various securities of the Company. The Registration Statement includes a base prospectus dated April 17, 2008. In connection with the public offering of the Securities, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Registration Statement a preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 17, 2008 and a definitive prospectus supplement dated April 23, 2008. Such definitive prospectus supplement (including the base prospectus) is referred to as the “Prospectus.” In accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, this Report on Form 8-K, together with the exhibits filed herewith, is being incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
