This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is filed for the purpose of deregistering the following securities heretofore registered and offered by Energy Services of America Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus dated April 13, 2011.
· | 3,076,923 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). All 3,076,923 Warrants were properly tendered and not withdrawn and accepted by the Company pursuant to an exchange offer that closed on September 28, 2011(the “Exchange Offer”). |
· | 3,076,923 shares of Common Stock. All 3,076,923 shares of Common Stock are no longer issuable upon the exercise of Warrants because the Warrants were accepted by the Company in the Exchange Offer. |
Because there are no longer any Warrants or shares of Common Stock available for offer or sale pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company requests deregistration of 3,076,923 Warrants and 3,076,923 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Registration Statement as soon as practicable after the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
