Item 3.02                Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On December 28, 2007, Clean Harbors, Inc. (“the Company”) issued an aggregate of 209,200 shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value, in connection with the conversion (at the holders’ elections) of the Company’s remaining previously outstanding 68,810 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock.  Each previously outstanding share of Series B convertible preferred stock was converted into 3.0403 shares of common stock. The 209,200 shares of common stock issued upon such conversion represented slightly in excess of 1.0% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding prior to the conversion. The holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock had held such preferred shares for several years prior to the conversion, and received the shares of common stock solely in exchange for conversion of their preferred shares. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly by the Company or any other party for soliciting such conversion. The conversion shares of common stock were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of such Act.
