Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure

Harsco Corporation (the “Company”) announced the acquisition of the ALTEK Group in a press release dated May 29, 2018. The Company purchased ALTEK, on a debt and cash free basis, for £45 million cash, with the potential for up to £25 million in additional consideration over the next four years subject to the future financial performance of ALTEK. Targeted earnings are consistent with the growth and revenue figures noted in the press release and also anticipate that ALTEK attains operating margin percentages in the low-to-mid 20s over time, as operating efficiencies are realized and as ALTEK’s AluSalt™ business penetrates the market. ALTEK’s core business is expected to generate revenues of approximately $16 million and operating income of $3 million in year-one following the transaction, prior to any acquisition adjustments.  A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
