A Texas State Court in Harris County, Texas entered an Order granting Plaintiff Houston Office 88, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment against American Ecology Corporation (the "Company") for damages in the amount of $2,044,346.40, plus interest, representing the sum and associated costs that the Court found the Company to owe Houston Office 88 under the Lease Agreement covering its former corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas. The Company received a copy of the Order January 20, 1998. American Ecology's counterclaim against Houston Office 88 was also dismissed, as was the Company's third-party claim against a sublessee for failure to perform an agreement to sublease the office space. Houston Office 88 is proceeding with direct claims against that sublessee. American Ecology is currently negotiating a compromise with Houston Office 88. If the negotiations are unsuccessful, American Ecology will ask the Court to amend the Judgment to provide for a present worth of the amount representing the future lease payments, to strike parts of the Judgment, and to provide for the offset of any amount the sublessee is found to owe Houston Office 88. The Company also may appeal the award. The Company has notified its bank of the Judgment. 2 3 AMERICAN ECOLOGY CORPORATION FORM 8-K Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
