#### Exhibit 99.1

![](logo_atlas.jpg)

#### Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. Announces Offering of $300 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2031

**Austin, Texas** – April 6, 2026 – Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE: AESI) (together with its subsidiaries, "Atlas" or the "Company") today announced that, subject to market and other conditions, it intends to offer for sale in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), $300 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "notes"). Atlas also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 calendar days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below and approximately $66 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding advances under its Master Lease Agreement and Interim Funding Agreement, each with Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC, including a $5 million termination fee in connection therewith and approximately $75 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its 2023 ABL Credit Facility. The Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to purchase a portion of the power generation equipment under the Global Framework Agreement with Caterpillar Inc., along with balance of plant and supporting equipment. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below and for general corporate purposes, including to purchase a portion of the power generation equipment under the Global Framework Agreement with Caterpillar Inc., along with balance of plant and supporting equipment.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The notes will not be guaranteed by any subsidiary of the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries will have no obligations under the notes. Noteholders will have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. The Company will settle conversions of notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), or a combination of cash and the Company's Common Stock, at its election.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and before the 41<sup>st</sup> scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a "fundamental change" occur, then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that will initially underlie the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties, and will use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of such additional capped call transactions (and the remainder for the same purposes as described above).

------

The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's Common Stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of the Company's Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company's Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds such cap price.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's Common Stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's Common Stock or the notes at that time.

In addition, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company's Common Stock and/or purchasing or selling the Company's Common Stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following certain repurchases or redemptions of the notes). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company's Common Stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following a conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, if any, amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws. As a result, the notes and any shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
