 Nominating Committee are Messrs. Wilks and Krylov (Chair). In reliance on exemptions permitted for a controlled company under Nasdaq rules, the Nominating Committee is not composed of independent directors (as defined under Nasdaq rules).

The Nominating Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors initially approved the Nominating Committee Charter effective as of February 11, 2015. The charter is posted on our website at www.dawson3d.com in the “Corporate Governance” area of the “Investor Relations” section.

**Director Qualifications**

Because the identification, evaluation and selection of qualified directors is a complex and subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, and will be significantly influenced by the particular needs of our Board from time to time, our Board has not adopted a specific set of minimum qualifications, qualities or skills that are necessary for a nominee to possess, other than those that are necessary to meet U.S. legal, regulatory and Nasdaq listing requirements and the provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), and the charters of the committees of our Board. When considering nominees, our Board may take into consideration many factors including, among other things, a candidate’s experience in corporate management, professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry and strategic plan, diversity, skills, financial and other expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about our business or industry and ability to devote adequate time and effort to responsibilities of our Board in the context of its existing composition. In general, persons recommended by shareholders will be considered on the same basis as candidates from other sources. If a shareholder wishes to recommend a candidate for election as a director at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it must follow the procedures described in “Shareholders Nominations to our Board of Directors” below.

The following is a brief discussion of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led us to the conclusion that our directors should serve as Directors for the Company: For our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Wilks, his leadership qualities, tenure as Chairman of ProFrac Holdings and long experience in the oil and gas service industry. For Mr. Bradley, his extensive experience in management as President of Castleton Holdings and knowledge of investment and corporate strategies. For Mr. Conly, his accounting experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and his finance background at FTI Consulting. For
