Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.’s (the “Company”) has been awarded a total of approximately $50 million in contract awards during the third quarter of 2021, to be recognized over the next 18 to 24 months. As a result, the Company’s project backlog within the Services Segment, is now estimated at approximately $74 million. Included in the new contract awards, on September 16, 2021, the Company was awarded a fixed-price contract under its Services Segment by a U.S. government entity to perform decommissioning of certain radioactive contaminated equipment and systems on a Navy vessel at one of its sites. We expect the value of this contract to be approximately $40 million dollars. Project work to be performed under the contract is expected to be completed over a twenty-four months period. Government contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at government sites are generally subject to terminate or renegotiate with thirty days notice at the government’s option.

Item 9.01 – Financial Statements and Exhibits

This Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” which are based largely on the Company’s expectations and are subject to various business risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements generally are identifiable by use of the words such as “believe”, “expects”, “intends”, “anticipate”, “plan to”, “estimates”, “projects”, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: contract value and completion over a twenty-four months period. While the Company believes the expectations reflected in this news release are reasonable, it can give no assurance such expectations will prove to be correct. There are a variety of factors which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those described in this release, including, without limitation, future economic conditions; the government or such other party to a contract granted to us fails to abide by or comply with the contract or terminates existing contracts; Congress fails to provides funding for above described remediation project; impact of COVID-19; and the additional factors referred to under “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of our 2020 Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs for quarter ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company makes no commitment to disclose any revisions to forward-looking statements, or any facts, events or circumstances after the date hereof that bear upon forward-looking statements.
