This definitive proxy statement provides full details for the upcoming shareholder vote on a transformative transaction for Enviri. The sale of the Clean Earth business for $3.04 billion, which is nearly double the company's current market capitalization, will significantly reshape Enviri's operations and balance sheet. Shareholders will receive cash consideration per share (between $14.50 and $16.50) for the Clean Earth portion, in addition to shares in the newly spun-off entity, New Enviri, which will comprise the Harsco Environmental and Harsco Rail segments. This strategic move aims to reduce substantial debt and enhance the financial flexibility of the remaining business, positioning it for future value creation. The transaction has already received HSR approval, reducing regulatory uncertainty. The board's unanimous recommendation and the comprehensive sale process involving multiple bidders underscore the strategic rationale and favorable terms.
