HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo., Oct. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. ADES (the "Company") today announced that on October 21, 2014 it received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") indicating that the NASDAQ Hearings Panel (the "Panel") has granted the Company's request to extend the stay of the delisting of the Company's common stock pending the Panel's final determination regarding the Company's listing status following the hearing. At a hearing before the Panel, the Company will present its plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ's Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and request that the Panel grant the Company a further extension to file the delinquent periodic reports with the SEC and thereby evidence compliance with NASDAQ's listing rules. The Panel has the authority to continue the Company's listing on NASDAQ through March 27, 2015.

The delay in the filing of the Company's periodic reports is due to the Company's previously disclosed extensive review of its accounting transactions, resulting in the re-audit of its financial statements for 2011 and 2012, the re-assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting, and the restatement of its previously issued financial statements for the first three quarters of 2013.

The Company's management team and its finance and accounting personnel are working diligently to complete the accounting review, finalize the necessary financial statements and provide the requested information to its auditors so that it may file the delinquent periodic reports and evidence full compliance with the NASDAQ listing rules as soon as possible.
