Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2017 Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, ADA-ES, Inc. (“ADA”), a Colorado corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and COBIZ Bank (the “Lender”), a Colorado corporation d/b/a Colorado Business Bank, entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the "Eleventh Amendment") to the 2013 Loan and Security Agreement (the “Line of Credit”).

The Eleventh Amendment decreases the Line of Credit to $10.0 million from $15.0 million due to our decreased need to support letters of credit, extends the maturity date of the Line of Credit to September 30, 2018 and permits the Line of Credit to be used as collateral (in place of restricted cash) for letters of credit up to $8.0 million related to equipment projects, a royalty award to a third-party and certain other agreements. Additionally, under the Eleventh Amendment there is no longer a minimum cash balance covenant.

The foregoing descriptions of the Eleventh Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference, respectively, to the full text of the Eleventh Amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2017.

SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
