**About the Annual Meeting** 

**Who is soliciting my vote?** 

The board of directors (the "Board") of Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., which we refer to as "Mammoth," the "Company" and "we" in this proxy statement, is soliciting your vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting").

**What am I voting on?** 

You are voting on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The election of directors (see Proposal 1 beginning on <u>[page 5](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_19)</u>);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The approval, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement (see Proposal 2 on <u>[page 30](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_94)</u>);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The approval, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers at an interval of "every year", "every two years" or "every three years" (see Proposal 3 on <u>[page 31](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_97)</u>);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ratification of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (see Proposal 4 beginning on <u>[page 32](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_100)</u>); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any other business properly coming before the meeting.

**How does the Board recommend that I vote my shares?** 

The Board's recommendation can be found with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to elect nominated directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement (see <u>[page 30](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_94)</u>);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR holding an advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers at an interval of "every year" (see <u>[page 31](#i56492775870845f0b1852d888ab88b51_97)</u>); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to ratify Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

**Who is entitled to vote?** 

You may vote if you were the record owner of our common stock as of the close of business on May 5, 2026. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. As of May 5, 2026, we had 48,170,647 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. There is no cumulative voting.

**How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?** 

Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly grant your proxy by telephone, Internet or mail. In order for us to hold our meeting, holders of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the close of business on May 5, 2026 must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the meeting.

**What is a broker non-vote?** 

If a broker does not have discretion to vote shares held in street name on a particular proposal and does not receive instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote those shares, the broker may not vote on that proposal. This is known as a broker non-vote. No broker may vote your shares without your specific instructions on any of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.

------

**How many votes are needed to approve each of the proposals?** 

Under our amended bylaws, stockholders elect our directors by a majority vote in an uncontested election (one in which the number of nominees is the same as the number of directors to be elected) and by a plurality vote in a contested election (one in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected). Because this year's election is an uncontested election, each director nominee receiving a majority of votes cast will be elected (the number of shares voted "FOR" a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted "AGAINST" that nominee). Unless you indicate otherwise, the persons named as your proxies will vote your shares FOR all the nominees for director named in Proposal 1.

Proposals 2 and 4 require the affirmative "FOR" vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

With respect to Proposal 3 to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation, stockholders will be able to choose among four options, namely whether future stockholder votes to approve executive compensation should occur every year, every two years or every three years, or whether the stockholder abstains from voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, in favor of one of the voting options contemplated in Proposal 3 is required to approve, on an advisory basis, Proposal 3. If one of the voting options is not adopted by the required vote of the stockholders, our Board will evaluate the votes cast for each of the voting options and will deem the voting option receiving the greatest number of votes to be the voting option approved by the stockholders.

Only votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" these proposals will be counted as votes cast and abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for voting purposes, except with respect to the proposal to ratify our independent registered public accounting firm, where broker non-votes will be counted.

**How do I vote?** 

You can vote either in person at the meeting or by proxy without attending the meeting.

To vote by proxy, you may vote through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability, or, if you requested to receive a paper copy of the proxy card, you may vote by telephone, through the Internet or by returning a signed, dated and marked proxy card following the instructions included in the proxy card.

Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy. If you plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, and you hold your stock in street name, you must obtain a proxy from your broker and bring that proxy to the meeting.

In the election of directors contemplated by Proposal 1, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" with respect to each nominee. For Proposals 2 and 4, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." To approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation contemplated by Proposal 3, you may vote in favor of holding such advisory vote every year, every two years or every three years or may "ABSTAIN" from the vote.

**Can I change my vote?** 

Yes. You can change or revoke your vote by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Voting by telephone or Internet, as applicable, at a later date, but prior to the deadline specified in the Notice of Internet Availability or the proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you requested to receive a paper copy of the proxy card, returning to us a completed proxy card properly signed and bearing a later date prior to the Annual Meeting date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sending our Corporate Secretary a written document revoking your earlier proxy prior to the Annual Meeting date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Voting again at the meeting at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting.

However, if your shares are held in street name by a broker or other nominee, you must contact your broker or such other nominee to revoke your proxy.

**Who counts the votes?** 

We have hired Computershare Trust Company, N.A., our transfer agent, to count the votes represented by proxies cast by telephone, Internet, mail or ballot. Employees of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will act as inspectors of election.

------

**Will my shares be voted if I don't provide my proxy and don't attend the Annual Meeting?** 

If you do not provide a proxy or vote your shares held in your name, your shares will not be voted.

If you hold your shares in street name, your broker may be able to vote your shares for certain "routine" matters even if you do not provide the broker with voting instructions. The ratification of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 is considered routine. For matters not considered "routine," if you do not give your broker instructions on how to vote your shares, the broker may not vote on that proposal. This is a broker non-vote.

The proposals to elect directors and to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company's executive compensation and to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation are not considered routine. As a result, no broker may vote your shares on these proposals without your specific instructions.

**What if I submit my proxy but don't indicate my vote on the proposals?**

If you submit a proxy by telephone or Internet, as applicable, or if you request a paper copy of our proxy materials and return a signed proxy card by mail, in each case without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to elect nominated directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR approving, on an advisory basis, of holding an advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation every year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the proposal to ratify Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the discretion of the proxy holder on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

**Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?**

We are not aware of any other matters that will be considered at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters arise at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in your proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

**Who can attend the meeting?** 

The Annual Meeting is open to all holders of our common stock.

**What do I need to bring to attend the Annual Meeting?** 

You will need proof of ownership of our common stock to enter the meeting.

------

stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a paper copy of our proxy materials. Your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet, as well as instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail.

The electronic distribution process via Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials reduces the environmental impact and lowers the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

If a broker or other nominee holds your shares of record, you may request a full set of our proxy materials by following the instructions contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that you received.

**Board of Directors Information**

**What is the makeup of the Board and how often are the members elected?** 

The Board currently consists of six members. Four of these directors, comprising the majority of the Board, meet the independence standards under the Nasdaq listing rules. An election is held annually.

**What stockholder vote is required to elect our director nominees?**

Our amended bylaws require that each director be elected by a majority of votes cast with respect to that director in an uncontested election (where the number of nominees is the same as the number of directors to be elected). In a contested election (where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the plurality voting standard governs the election of directors. Under the plurality standard, the number of nominees equal to the number of directors to be elected who receive more votes than the other nominees are elected to the Board, regardless of whether they receive a majority of the votes cast. Whether an election is contested or not is determined as of the day before we first mail our meeting notice to stockholders. This year's election was determined to be an uncontested election, and the majority vote standard will apply. Under our director resignation policy, each director submits an advance, contingent, irrevocable resignation that the Board may accept if the director fails to be elected through a majority vote in an uncontested election. In that situation, the nominating and corporate governance committee would make a recommendation to the Board about whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board will act on the nominating and corporate governance committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days after the date the election results are certified. The Board will nominate for election or re-election as director, and will elect as directors to fill vacancies and new directorships, only candidates who agree to tender the form of resignation described above. If a nominee who was not already serving as a director fails to receive a majority of votes cast at the annual meeting, that the nominee will not serve on the Board unless and until elected by our stockholders.

**What if a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve?** 

That is not expected to occur. If it does, shares represented by proxies will be voted for a substitute nominated by the Board.

**How are directors compensated?** 

Members of the Board who are also officers or employees of the Company do not receive compensation for their services as directors.

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer in the amount of $50,000, plus an additional annual payment of $10,000 for the chairperson and $5,000 for each other member of the audit committee, with such amounts paid in quarterly installments. The Company may, in its discretion, grant equity awards to non-employee directors under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan") as part of their overall compensation. The timing and amount of any equity awards are not fixed.

**How often did the Board meet in 2025?** 

The Board held two in-person meetings and three virtual meetings during the year ended December 31, 2025. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board and the meetings of the committees on which he served. During 2025, our non-management directors met in executive sessions four times.

**What does the Board recommend?** 

**THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF THESE DIRECTORS** 

**Corporate Governance Matters and Communications with the Board** 

**Who are our independent directors?** 

*Independent Majority of the Board*

The Board has determined that, as of the date of this proxy statement, four of our six current directors, Messrs. Amron, Booker, Palm and Plaumann, comprising the majority of the Board, meet the independence standards under the Nasdaq listing rules.

*Independent Members of the Committees of the Board*

Our audit committee consists of three directors, Dr. Booker, Mr. Palm and Mr. Plaumann, whom the Board has determined to be independent for purposes of serving on such committee under the Nasdaq listing rules and applicable securities laws. In addition, the Board has determined that each current member of the audit committee is financially literate under the Nasdaq listing rules and that Mr. Plaumann qualifies as the "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K.

The Board has also determined that the current members of the compensation committee, Messrs. Amron, Palm and Plaumann, meet the independence requirements applicable to that committee under the Nasdaq listing rules and that each of Messrs. Amron, Palm and Plaumann qualifies as a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Board has further determined that the current members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, Messrs. Amron, Palm and Plaumann, meet the independence requirements applicable to that committee under the Nasdaq listing rules.

**Do our non-management directors meet separately without management?** 

Our non-management directors have the opportunity to meet in an executive session following each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Our non-management directors met in an executive session on four occasions in 2025.

------

**How can I communicate with the Board?** 

Individuals may communicate with the Board or individual directors by writing to Corporate Secretary, Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., 14201 Caliber Drive Suite 300, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134. Our Corporate Secretary will review all such correspondence and forward to the Board a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of our Corporate Secretary, relates to the functions of the Board or the compensation committee thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may review a log of all such correspondence received by us and request copies. Concerns relating to accounting, internal control over financial reporting or auditing matters will be immediately brought to the attention of the chairman of the audit committee and handled in accordance with the audit committee procedures established with respect to such matters.

**Do directors attend the Annual Meeting?** 

Recognizing that director attendance at our Annual Meeting can provide our stockholders with an opportunity to communicate with directors about issues affecting the Company, we have, in the past, encouraged our directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and all of our directors attended our 2025 Annual Meeting either in person or telephonically. We expect that some of our directors will attend the Annual Meeting in person. However, those of our directors who are unable to travel or otherwise attend the Annual Meeting in person will have an opportunity and intend to attend the Annual Meeting telephonically.

**Insider Trading Policy**

The Company has an insider trading policy and procedures governing the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of the Company's securities that applies to all directors, officers, employees and certain other persons. It is also the Company's policy to take appropriate steps to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, as well as applicable stock exchange listing standards, when the Company engages in transactions in the Company's securities. The Company believes that its insider trading policy and procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company's insider trading policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026.

**Nominating Process For Directors, Director Qualifications and Review of Director Nominees**

The nominating and corporate governance committee is comprised of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent under Nasdaq listing rules. As provided by the nominating and corporate governance committee's charter, our nominating and corporate governance committee identifies, investigates and recommends to the Board candidates with the goal of creating a balance of knowledge, experience and diversity.

Potential directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the interests of our stockholders. In addition to reviewing a candidate's background and accomplishments, candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and the evolving needs of our stockholders' businesses. We also require that at least a majority of our directors meet the independence standards under the Nasdaq listing rules. Four out of the six directors currently serving on the Board meet these independence standards. We also require that our directors who serve on the Board's committees meet the independence standards applicable to such committees under the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board desires to have members on the Board that reflect a range of talents, ages, skills and expertise, particularly in the areas of accounting and finance, management, leadership and energy industry sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our interests. Our nominating and corporate governance committee is committed to continuing improvement and seeks to create a Board composition that is diverse, balanced and aligned with the evolving needs of the Company.

We require that the members of the Board be able to dedicate the time and resources sufficient to ensure the diligent performance of their duties on our behalf, including attending all meetings of the Board and applicable committee meetings. In accordance with its charter, the nominating and corporate governance committee periodically reviews the criteria for the selection of directors to serve on the Board and recommends any proposed changes to the Board's for approval.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider stockholder nominations for director candidates upon written submission of such recommendation to our Corporate Secretary along with, among other things, the nominee's

------

qualifications and certain biographical information regarding the nominee, such nominee's written consent to serving as a director if elected and being named in the proxy or information statement and certain information regarding the status of the stockholder submitting the recommendation, all in the manner required by our amended bylaws and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations will be aggregated and considered by the Board at a regularly scheduled or special meeting. If any materials are provided by a stockholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials will be forwarded to the Board.

The nominating and corporate governance committee may also review materials provided by professional search firms or other parties in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a stockholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Board will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and diversity on the Board. The Board uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates nominated by stockholders as it does for those proposed by current Board members, professional search firms and other persons. After completing its evaluation, the Board approves the final slate of director nominees.

The Board, based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee, approved the director nominees submitted for election at this Annual Meeting. Each nominee brings a strong and unique background and set of skills to the Board, giving the Board as a whole competence and experience in a variety of areas, including corporate governance and Board service, executive management, oil and natural gas industry, accounting and finance and risk assessment and management. Specifically, in nominating the candidates for election at this Annual Meeting, the Board considered their qualifications, skills, professional experience, diversity and other information discussed in each of the nominees' individual biographies set forth beginning on page 5 above and, with respect to director nominees that are identified in this proxy statement as independent under the Nasdaq listing rules and other applicable rules and regulations for purposes of serving on the Board and its committees, as applicable, any material relationships of each such director nominee with the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and, with respect to Mr. Jacobi, his employment relationship with Wexford.

Our amended bylaws require that each director be elected by a majority of votes cast with respect to that director in an uncontested election. This year's election was determined to be an uncontested election, and the majority vote standard will apply. Under our director resignation policy, each director submits an advance, contingent, irrevocable resignation that the Board may accept if the director fails to be elected through a majority vote in an uncontested election.

**Director Leadership Structure** 

The positions of Chairman of the Board and executive management are separate. This structure allows the Board, led by the Chairman of the Board, to focus on its fundamental role of providing advice to and oversight of the Company's management, while the Company's senior executive officers collectively oversee day-to-day business and operations. The Chairman of the Board provides leadership to the Board and works with the Board to define its structure and activities in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. The Chairman of the Board sets Board agendas with input from other members of the Board and management, facilitates communications among and information flow to directors, has the authority to call special meetings of the Board and stockholders, and presides at meetings of the Board and the Company's stockholders. The Chairman of the Board also provides guidance to management and the Company's executive officers as appropriate.

We believe that our directors bring a broad range of leadership experience to the boardroom and regularly contribute to the thoughtful discussion involved in effectively overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. We believe that the atmosphere of the Board is collegial, that all Board members are well engaged in their responsibilities, and that all Board members express their views and consider the opinions expressed by other directors. Four out of the six directors currently serving on the Board are independent under the Nasdaq listing rules, and each member of our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees is independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules.

We believe that all of our independent directors have demonstrated leadership in business enterprises and are familiar with board processes. Our independent directors are involved in the leadership structure of the Board by serving on our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, each of which is chaired by an independent director. Specifically, Mr. Plaumann, as chair of the audit committee, oversees the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; Mr. Amron, as chair of the compensation committee, oversees executive compensation policies and practices; and Mr. Palm, as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee, oversees matters relating to Board composition and corporate governance. As such, each committee chair provides independent leadership for purposes of many important functions delegated by the Board to such committee.

------

**Board Diversity**

As of May 15, 2026, the Board consisted of six directors, all of whom are male. The Company does not require directors to disclose demographic information, and any such disclosure is made on a voluntary basis.

Based on voluntary self-identification, the Board includes directors with different racial and ethnic backgrounds, including directors who identify as African American and White.

**Board of Director's Role in Risk Oversight** 

***Challenges Involved in our Operations and Industry Conditions***

As an integrated, growth-oriented services company with operations spanning multiple end markets, we are exposed to a variety of risks and uncertainties affecting the industries we serve. These include the aircraft industry, the U.S. oil and natural gas industry, the infrastructure industry and the natural sand proppant industry. Across these markets, our operating results are influenced by factors such as supply and demand dynamics, commodity price volatility, customer capital spending levels, regulatory and environmental requirements, weather conditions, health and safety considerations, the availability and cost of labor and equipment, adequacy of insurance coverage, and broader domestic and global economic conditions.

Demand for our products and services is largely dependent on activity levels within these industries, which are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including commodity price levels and expectations, infrastructure investment and maintenance spending, access to transportation and logistics networks, technological developments, geopolitical conditions, environmental regulations, and the ability of customers to access capital and financing.

***Challenges We Face in Our Aircraft Business***

Our aircraft businesses are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with demand for aircraft assets and the long-lived nature of those assets. Certain aircraft types or components may become less desirable over time as newer or more efficient aircraft and technologies are introduced, or as regulatory requirements relating to noise, emissions or aircraft age evolve.

Demand for our aircraft assets is also influenced by factors outside of our control, including passenger and cargo air travel demand, airline and operator financial health, fuel costs, interest rates, general economic conditions and the availability and cost of financing. Declines in demand for particular aircraft models or components may reduce lease rates and residual values and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

***Challenges We Face in Our Oilfield Services Business***

The oil and natural gas industry has traditionally been volatile and is influenced by a combination of long-term, short-term

and cyclical trends, including the domestic and international supply and demand for oil and natural gas, current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, production depletion

rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by exploration and production companies to their drilling,

completion and related services and products budgets. The oil and natural gas industry is also impacted by general domestic and

international economic conditions, political instability in oil producing countries, government regulations (both in the United

States and elsewhere), levels of customer demand, the availability of pipeline capacity, storage capacity, shortages of equipment

and materials and other conditions and factors that are beyond our control.

Demand for most of our oil and natural gas products and services depends substantially on the level of expenditures by

companies in the oil and natural gas industry. The levels of capital expenditures of our customers are driven by many factors,

including the prices of oil and natural gas. The conflict in the Middle East, including attacks on regional energy infrastructure, has resulted in higher oil prices and the potential for multi-year LNG constraints. These factors have resulted in improved demand for our services, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2026. Positive trends that may contribute to increased activity will come from LNG export capacity coming online and general electricity and power demand enhancements. We will be strategically positioned to capitalize on this anticipated demand if and when it ramps up.

***Challenges We Face in Our Natural Sand Proppant Services Business***

Our natural sand proppant services business experienced reduced activity levels reflecting broader conditions in the oil and natural gas industry in 2025. In 2025, we reduced our exposure to this business through the sale of assets related to our natural sand proppant operations at the Piranha Proppant LLC processing plant in September 2025. In addition, we sold assets associated with our Muskie Proppant LLC natural sand proppant operations in January 2026.

------

Looking ahead, activity levels are expected to increase, with potential for additional incremental demand over time driven by natural gas-related activity. The timing and extent of any such increases remain uncertain and will depend on commodity prices, customer capital spending and broader market conditions.

***Challenges We Face in Our Infrastructure Services Business***

Our infrastructure services business has evolved as a result of strategic actions taken in 2025, including the divestiture of our traditional energy infrastructure operations. On April 11, 2025, we sold all equity interests in our infrastructure subsidiaries 5 Star Electric, LLC, Higher Power Electrical, LLC and Python Equipment LLC, and on December 2, 2025, we completed the sale of Aquawolf LLC, which had been included in our Infrastructure segment. As a result of these transactions, our current infrastructure activities are focused primarily on the construction and maintenance of fiber networks.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and characterized by significant barriers to entry, including the need for technical expertise, strong safety performance, adequate financial resources and a proven track record of execution. Customers generally award work through competitive bidding processes, in which pricing is often a principal factor in selecting service providers. Accordingly, competitive conditions, pricing pressure and customer capital spending levels may affect margins and operating results.

In addition, we continue to have residual financial exposure related accounts receivable of $20.0 million owed by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA") for services previously performed by our subsidiary, Cobra Acquisitions LLC, in connection with the restoration of PREPA's electrical grid following Hurricane Maria. While the majority of amounts due under the applicable settlement arrangement have been received, the timing and collectability of the remaining balance remains uncertain and may continue to impact our financial condition and cash flows.

***Management of Day-to-Day Business Risks***

Our management, whose responsibility includes managing day-to-day business risks, continues to address operating and industry challenges and is focused on continuing to improve our operational efficiencies and cost structure and on enhancing value for our stockholders.

***Role of the Board and Committees in Risk Oversight***

The Board believes that full and open communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our Chairman of the Board meets regularly with members of the Company's senior management team, including the Chief Business Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, to discuss strategy and risks facing the Company. Our executive officers regularly attend the Board meetings and are available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related and any other matters. Other members of our management team periodically attend Board meetings or are otherwise available to confer with the Board to the extent their expertise is required to address risk management matters. Periodically, the Board receives presentations from senior management on strategic matters involving our operations. During such meetings, the Board also discusses strategies, key challenges and risks and opportunities for the company with senior management. In addition, executive management provides periodic updates to the Board on cyber security matters.

While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at the Company, our three committees assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. Our audit committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Our compensation committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks arising from our compensation policies and programs. Our nominating and corporate governance committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks associated with board organization, membership and structure, succession planning for our directors and executive officers and corporate governance matters.

**Corporate Social Responsibility**

------

**Health, Safety and Environmental Policy**

We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we are committed to identifying, correcting and preventing health, safety and environmental, or HSE, hazards that could adversely affect our employees, vendors, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, customers or the general public. Additionally, we are committed to complying with the applicable regulatory HSE protection requirements and providing adequate resources to ensure the health and safety of our employees as well as the preservation of the environment.

We aim to reduce work-related incidents (and thereby injuries) and illness, to provide a healthy and safe work environment for employees for every task undertaken on behalf of the Company and to minimize our environmental impact. We are committed to fostering a safety culture, promoting health, wellness and a positive work-life balance and minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.

**Cybersecurity**

Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, using common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply to other risks managed by our organization, including operational, financial and strategic risks, as well as applicable legal and regulatory risks. As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we have a designated in-house team principally responsible for managing cybersecurity risk assessment processes, security controls and response to cybersecurity incidents or intrusions. We have also engaged third-party consultants to conduct penetration testing and risk assessments.

Our internal cybersecurity governance program is led by our Director of Information Technology, with support from the internal information technology department, who reports to our Chief Financial Officer. The Director of Information Technology and her team are responsible for leading cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes within our organization. In addition, our cybersecurity incident response team is responsible for responding to cybersecurity incidents. This team continuously identifies potential cyber vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement, including yearly security training for all employees. This team also continuously evaluates and implements technological enhancements as part of our cybersecurity systems. Progress and developments in our cybersecurity governance program are regularly communicated to our executive team. The Board, as part of its oversight process, receives regular updates, including quarterly updates, on the status of our cybersecurity governance program, including new or developing initiatives and any cybersecurity incidents that have occurred.

In addition, our internal audit function, in conjunction with third-party experts, plays a key role in reviewing and assessing our cybersecurity technologies, controls and procedures.

**Human Capital**

We view our employees as a critical asset and actively recruit qualified individuals regardless of gender or ethnic background. Our human capital management focuses on attracting, developing and retaining a skilled workforce, maintaining a safe working environment, and promoting equal employment opportunity. We evaluate employees based on skills, experience and performance and seek to foster an inclusive and respectful workplace.

We also engage independent contractors and consultants with expertise in land, technical, regulatory and other disciplines to support our operations. In addition, we invest in the learning and development of our employees and seek to identify and provide individuals who demonstrate strong performance with opportunities and training to advance within the organization.

**Community Engagement**

We strive to make a positive impact and improve the communities where our employees live and work. As part of our corporate responsibility, we form partnerships with organizations that give back to our communities, including the American Heart Association, United Way, Allied Arts and Children's Hospital of Oklahoma City.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to directors and employees, including the Chief Business Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, controller and persons performing similar functions. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers various topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, fair dealing, equal

------

employment opportunity and harassment, confidentiality, human rights, non-discrimination, freedom of association, anti-corruption, political contributions, compliance procedures and employee complaint procedures.

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at http://ir.mammothenergy.com/corporate-governance.cfm. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any future amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by posting such information on our website at the address specified above.

**Vendor Code of Conduct**

We are committed to ethical and lawful behavior, and to acting professionally and fairly in all business dealings and relationships. We also recognize that the activities of our vendors may influence our reputation and relationship of trust with our customers and employees and, therefore, expect our vendors to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards.

**Audit Committee Report** 

The audit committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight for the integrity of the Company's financial reporting process and internal control system. Other primary responsibilities of the audit committee include the review, oversight and appraisal of the qualifications, independence and audit performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and providing an open venue for communication among the independent registered public accounting firm, financial and senior management and the Board of the Company. A more detailed description of the responsibilities of the audit committee is set forth in its written charter, which is posted on our website at *www.mammothenergy.com*. The following report summarizes certain of the audit committee's activities with respect to its responsibilities during 2025.

*Controls and Procedures*. Management has established and maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and includes controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Business Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2025, management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Business Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The audit committee discussed with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, the quality and adequacy of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.

Management has also established and maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management's evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, as discussed in more detail in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, which was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026.

*Discussions with Independent Auditing Firm*. The audit committee has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

**Determining Executive Compensation**

*Our Executive Compensation Policy*

Our general compensation policy is guided by several key principles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designing competitive total compensation programs to enhance our ability to attract and retain knowledgeable and experienced senior management level employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• motivating employees to deliver outstanding financial performance and meet or exceed general and specific business, operational and individual objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• setting compensation and incentive levels relevant to the market in which the employee provides service; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• periodically using equity awards as a component of the total compensation to our named executive officers in equity (rather than cash), which, when granted, generally vest over a three- or four-year period, thus increasing an alignment of interests between our senior management level employees and our stockholders and retention of our top executive talent.

*The Role of Our Compensation Committee*

The compensation committee of the Board is primarily responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring our compensation programs, including those applicable to our named executive officers. In particular, the compensation

committee's current role is to oversee, on behalf of the Board, our compensation and benefit plans and policies, review and approve incentive compensation and equity based plans (including establishing, reviewing and approving performance-based cash incentive bonuses and equity grants to our executive officers and directors, as may be applicable) and establish, review and approve annually all compensation decisions relating to our NEOs, including those with respect to employment arrangements, performance targets, severance arrangements, change in control provisions and any special supplemental benefits. The compensation committee takes action at least annually to address executive compensation programs, approve compensation levels, consider performance targets, review management performance and administer our equity-based and other compensation plans. The compensation committee operates in accordance with its charter, which sets forth the committee's powers and responsibilities described in more detail under the heading "Committees of the Board of Directors."

*The Role of Our Compensation Consultant*

In March 2025, our compensation committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, or Meridian, to conduct a compensation analysis of compensation practices for our named executive officers and to assist the compensation committee in establishing market place compensation levels for such executives for 2024 and 2025. Meridian was also engaged by the compensation committee to assess overall alignment for 2025 and inform 2026 compensation decisions. The compensation committee considered any potential conflicts of interest with the compensation consultant and determined that there were no such conflicts of interest. The committee will continue to monitor Meridian's independence going forward.

*The Role of Our Compensation Committee*

Our compensation committee evaluates our NEOs based on the Company performance criteria described above. Their total compensation package is ultimately determined by the compensation committee based upon this evaluation and upon input from the compensation consultant, reflecting our NEOs performance, our Company performance, competitive industry practices and the terms of employment.

*Our Peer Group and Survey Data*

The compensation committee periodically reviews the compensation of our NEOs relative to a potential peer group utilized by the compensation committee, based on market information provided by our compensation consultant. The information provided by Meridian for 2025 compensation decisions made at the beginning of 2025 reflects compensation data from a peer group of 19 publicly traded companies in the oilfield services industry and the industrial/infrastructure industry, reflecting our unique composition at the time, and was generally consistent with the peer group used in 2024, with an adjustment to reflect changing circumstances in the industry, including acquisitions. In 2025, the Compensation Committee did not make changes to executive compensation levels as the Company underwent significant business reshaping through multiple divestitures. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Meridian, sought to refresh the prior year's peer group list and Meridian prepared a new list of potential peers that shared some characteristics with the Company and its business. The revised list was used to understand and evaluate how certain NEO's total direct compensation compares with the total direct compensation provided to individuals in similar roles in these publicly-traded companies. Our compensation committee uses a combination of potential peer group proxy data and private company compensation survey data in determining the compensation for our NEOs. The committee does not target a specific level of compensation relative to the market data, however the committee does consider each element of each NEO's compensation relative to the market median.

In addition to the private company compensation survey data, the following group was utilized as a data point by the compensation committee for compensation and performance decisions made at the beginning of 2026 and is set forth below:

*Decision Making Process*

Our compensation committee determines, in connection with its review of the information provided by our compensation consultant and subject to the employment terms with our NEOs, the mix of compensation, both among short-term and long-

------

term compensation and cash and non-cash compensation, that it believes are appropriate for each of our named executive officers. In making compensation decisions with respect to each element of compensation, the compensation committee considers numerous factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the individual's particular background and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the individual's role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons at peer group companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the demand for individuals with the individual's specific expertise and experience at the time of hire;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• achievement of individual and Company performance goals and other expectations relating to the position;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparison to other executives within the Company having similar levels of expertise and experience and the uniqueness of the individual's industry skills;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• aligning the compensation of our executives with interests of our stockholder and stockholder value creation, as well as prior equity awards granted by the compensation committee to achieve that purpose; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• aligning the compensation of our executives with the performance of the Company on both a short-term and long-term basis.

**Terms of Employment**

The following summarizes the material employment terms we have with our current and former named executive officers. We do not have written employment agreements with our named executive officers.

Subject to Mr. P. Lancaster's achievement of certain performance goals determined by the Board or the compensation committee, Mr. P. Lancaster was eligible to receive bonuses. He was also eligible to receive awards under our equity-based compensation plan. Mr. P.

Lancaster's employment ended on June 30, 2025.

**Bernard Lancaster**. In July 2025, we entered into an oral employment agreement with Bernard Lancaster, our Chief Operating Officer, providing for a base salary subject to increases from time to time by the Board or the compensation committee. Subject to Mr. B. Lancaster's achievement of certain performance goals to be determined by the Board or the compensation committee, Mr. B. Lancaster's is eligible to receive bonuses. He may also receive awards under our equity-based compensation plan. Mr. B. Lancaster is entitled to participate in any life and medical insurance plans and other similar plans that we establish from time to time for our executive employees. Mr. B.

**Mark Layton**. In September 2014, we entered into an oral employment agreement with Mark Layton, our Chief Financial Officer, providing for a base salary subject to increases from time to time by the Board or the compensation committee. Subject to Mr. Layton's achievement of certain performance goals to be determined by the Board or the compensation committee, Mr. Layton is eligible to receive bonuses. He may also receive awards under our equity-based compensation plan. Mr. Layton is entitled to participate in any life and medical insurance plans and other similar plans that we establish from time to time for our executive employees. Mr. Layton's employment with us is terminable by either party.

**Paul Jacobi**. In July 2025, Mr. Jacobi became our Chief Business Officer. Mr. Jacobi does not have an employee relationship with the Company and, as such, does not receive a base salary or bonuses. He may receive awards under our equity-based compensation plan. Mr. Jacobi's position with us is terminable by either party.

**Elements of Compensation**

*Base Salary*

We provide our employee NEOs and other employees with a base salary to provide a fixed amount of compensation for services during the fiscal year. Base salaries and any increases or decreases thereto are subjectively determined by the committee for each of the employee NEOs on an individual basis, taking into consideration the factors described above, including an assessment of individual contributions to Company performance, length of tenure, compensation levels for comparable positions, internal equities among positions.

|:---|:---|:---|
| **NEO** | **2025 Base Salary** | **Change from 2024 Base Salary** |
| Phil Lancaster<sup>(1)</sup> | $350000 | N/A |
| Bernard Lancaster<sup>(2)</sup> | $300000 | N/A |
| Mark Layton | $500000 |  |

---

(1) Mr. P. Lancaster was not an NEO in 2024. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2025, Mr. P. Lancaster's base salary was increased to $350,000. While serving as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. P. Lancaster participated in a separate compensation arrangement pursuant to which he received a monthly cash bonus of $20,000. Mr. P. Lancaster's employment ended on June 30, 2025.

(2) Mr. B. Lancaster was not an NEO in 2024. In connection with his appointment as Chief Operating Officer on July 1, 2025, Mr. B. Lancaster's base salary was increased to $300,000.

*Annual Bonus*

Annual bonuses are designed to incentivize individual performance and reward the achievement of Company's long-term and short-term financial, operational and strategic goals that we believe drive stockholder value. Our annual bonus program supports our commitment to motivating our executives to deliver outstanding financial and operational performance. In determining the annual bonus, if any, for each NEO, the compensation committee reviews information provided by management with respect to Company performance. The compensation committee then considers Company and individual performance in the context of the information provided by its compensation consultant, and determines whether an annual bonus is to be awarded and, if so, the amount, in consideration of the total compensation each NEO will receive. In March 2026, the Compensation Committee approved and the Company paid a cash bonus of $25,000 to the Chief Operating Officer and $50,000 to the Chief Financial Officer, each relating to performance during fiscal year 2025.

*Long-term Incentives*

Our long-term incentive program is designed to provide incentive compensation linked to stockholder value. The compensation committee from time to time awards long-term incentive compensation in the form of restricted stock units under the 2024 Plan, described in more detail below. Prior to the 2024 Plan, long-term incentives were awarded under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. During 2025, no restricted stock units were awarded under the 2024 Plan. The restricted stock units are subject to time-based vesting. In determining grants of long-term incentives for the NEOs, the compensation committee reviews Company and individual performance as well as the NEO's total compensation in light of the market information provided by its compensation consultant. The compensation committee did not grant any equity awards to the NEOs in 2025 and, to date, has not granted any equity awards to the NEOs in 2026.

**Other Elements of Compensation**

*401(k) Plan*

We have a retirement savings plan in which our named executive officers currently participate. The retirement plan is a tax qualified 401(k) plan that covers all eligible employees including the named executive officers. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions of up to 3% of employee's compensation and may make discretionary contributions for eligible employees.

*Termination and Change of Control Benefits* 

We do not have written employment agreements or change in control agreements with our Chief Business Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, except that the terms of their respective restricted stock unit awards provide for the acceleration and vesting of such awards upon termination in connection with the change of control of the Company and upon such executive's death or disability. For a description of our oral agreements with our NEOs, see "—Terms of

------

Employment" above. Additional information regarding termination and change of control benefits for our NEOs, see "Termination and Change of Control Benefits" below.

*Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits*

The Company provides certain limited perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe to be reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain competent executives for key positions. The committee considers and periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits in establishing the total compensation of our NEOs. During 2025, our NEOs received minimal perquisites that provide value to our business in the form of gym membership dues, vehicle tolls and 401(k) plan contributions.

**Clawback Policy**

Effective as of December 1, 2023, the Board adopted a comprehensive executive incentive compensation clawback policy that allows for the recoupment and/or forfeiture of certain executive officer incentive compensation and complies with the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act. Under the clawback policy, the Company will recoup any excess incentive-based compensation earned by an executive officer (including each of our NEOs), on or after October 2, 2023 and during a three fiscal year lookback period, in the event of a financial restatement if a lesser amount of incentive-based compensation would have been earned had such incentive-based compensation been determined based on the restated results. For purposes of the clawback policy, incentive-based compensation includes any compensation granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the Company's attainment of a financial reporting measure.

**Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies** 

We have a policy prohibiting directors, executive officers and certain other designated employees from speculative trading in our securities, including hedging transactions, short selling, and trading in put options, call options, swaps or collars. In addition, we prohibit our directors and executive officers from holding our common stock in a margin account. To our knowledge, all such individuals are in compliance with the policy. Our policy is to also strongly discourage all other employees from engaging in hedging activities in our stock. Any such transaction requires notice and pre-approval, and will only be considered with a valid justification. Since the adoption of our anti-hedging policy in connection with our IPO in October 2016, we are not aware of any hedging activities by our employees. We also have a policy prohibiting our directors, executive officers and certain other designated employees from pledging our securities as collateral for a loan, except in certain limited circumstances upon obtaining prior approval from a compliance officer. No current NEOs or directors have any of our securities pledged as a collateral for a loan.

**Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table**

Our company has not historically utilized net income or net loss as a performance measure for our executive compensation program due to the capital intensive nature of our business. Instead, we consider Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to be a more meaningful performance measure when assessing the compensation of our named executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is discussed under "Executive Compensation—Executive Summary—2025 Performance Highlights" above, and a reconciliation of this measure to net income (loss), the GAAP financial performance measure included in the Pay Versus Performance table, is provided in Annex A to this proxy statement. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the pay versus performance table.

From 2023 to 2024, our net loss increased and the Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEO decreased between those years to correlate with the Company's performance. From 2024 to 2025, our net income (loss) improved, including a change from a net loss to net income, while Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO decreased. This reflects compensation decisions made under the Company's executive compensation program, which emphasizes operational performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and considers a range of performance and

------

business factors rather than short-term changes in GAAP net income. Compensation Actually Paid to our non-PEO named executive officer remained relatively consistent over this period, reflecting a compensation structure designed to align aggregate pay outcomes with the Company's overall performance. Further, our TSR decreased from 2023 to 2025 and the Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEO also declined to correlate with the decrease in our TSR.

**Director Compensation**

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer in the amount of $50,000, plus an additional annual payment of $10,000 for the chairperson and $5,000 for each other member of the audit committee, with such amounts paid in quarterly installments. The Company may, in its discretion, grant equity awards to non-employee directors under the 2024 Plan as part of their overall compensation. The timing and amount of any equity awards are not fixed. In prior periods, the Board has considered annual equity awards with a target value of $100,000, which, when granted, generally vest on the earlier of one year from the grant date or the next annual meeting of stockholders.

------

We provide liability insurance for our directors and officers. In addition, our certificate of incorporation sets forth limitations on our directors' liability to our stockholders. Further, our amended bylaws contain indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions for the benefit of our directors and officers. We are also party to a customary indemnification agreement with each of our executive officers and directors.

The compensation committee has adopted stock ownership retention recommendations for our non-employee directors. These recommendations were adopted to encourage our non-employee directors to have a meaningful stake in the Company, which encourages a focus on our long-term success, aligns directors' interests with the interests of our stockholders and further promotes our commitment to sound corporate governance. Under the stock ownership and retention recommendations, each of our non-employee directors must own an amount of our common stock equal in four times his annual cash compensation.

**Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions** 

**Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions**

The audit committee, as provided in its charter, reviews and approves related party transactions that the Company would be required to disclose in the proxy statement under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not have a formal set of standards to be substantively applied to each transaction reviewed by the audit committee. Instead of a formalized policy, related party transactions are reviewed and judgment is applied to determine whether such transactions are in the best interests of the Company. Further, the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics governs various compliance areas, including conflicts of interest and fair dealings, which are considered in the process of the review and approval of related party transactions.

The Company's policy is that all of its employees and directors, as well as their family members, must avoid any activity that is or has the appearance of conflicting with the Company's business interest. This policy is included in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics posted on its website. Each director and executive officer is instructed to always inform the designated compliance officer when confronted with any situation that may be perceived as a conflict of interest. Only the Board or a committee consisting solely of independent directors may grant waivers of the provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company's executive officers and directors. In addition, at least annually, each director and executive officer completes a detailed questionnaire specifying any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest.

Further, under the audit committee charter, the audit committee is responsible for reviewing and monitoring compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and recommending any warranted changes to the Board. In addition, the Board and, pursuant to its written charter, the audit committee, reviews and approves certain relationships and transactions in which the Company and its directors, director nominees and executive officers and their immediate family members, as well as holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and their family members, have a direct or indirect material interest. The Board and the audit committee approve only those transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are consistent, or are not inconsistent with, the Company's best interests, as they determine in the good faith exercise of their discretion.

**Proposal to Approve, on an Advisory Basis, the Company's Executive Compensation**

***(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)***

**What am I voting on?**

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Board is providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation as reported in this proxy statement, or "say on pay" vote. The Company's stockholders are being asked to vote on the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative executive compensation discussion, is hereby approved."

We provide an annual "say on pay" vote to our stockholders. This vote is advisory, which means that the vote on executive compensation is not binding on the Company, the Board or the compensation committee. While the vote on executive compensation is solely advisory in nature, the Board and the compensation committee will review and consider the "say on pay" voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program.

Stockholders are encouraged to carefully review the executive compensation section and related executive compensation tables included in this proxy statement, which provide details with respect to the Company's compensation policy and compensation arrangements which the Company believes are appropriate and reasonably consistent with market practice and with the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. In furtherance of the Company's goals and objectives, the compensation committee, among other things, ensures that the Company's executive compensation arrangements (i) align our executive's interests with those of our stockholders, (ii) include long-term vesting provisions in the awards of restricted stock units granted periodically to our NEOs to encourage their retention and continued focus on long-term performance, (iii) do not incentivize executives to take unnecessary risks and (iv) do not include excessive change in control provisions. The compensation committee further believes that our other compensation policies and practices, such as our policy prohibiting pledging or hedging of our stock by our executive officers and directors, as well as the lack of significant perquisites and absence of pension or supplemental retirement benefits, aside from those afforded under our broad-based 401(k) plan, for our executive officers are consistent with prudent compensation philosophy and the interests of our stockholders.

**What vote is required to approve this proposal?**

This proposal requires the affirmative "FOR" vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Only votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" this proposal will be counted as votes cast and abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for voting purposes.

**What does the Board recommend?**

**THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AS REPORTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.**

------

**Proposal to Approve, on Advisory Basis, the Frequency of Advisory Stockholder Vote on the Company's Executive Compensation**

***(Item 3 on the Proxy Card)***

**What am I voting on?**

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Board is also providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal 3 should be held every year, every two years or every three years. While this vote is non-binding and solely advisory in nature, the Board and the compensation committee will carefully review and consider the voting results when determining the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

The Board believes that a frequency of "every year" for the advisory vote on executive compensation is an appropriate interval for conducting and responding to a "say on pay" vote. An annual approach provides regular input by stockholders and allows the Company to evaluate the effects of such input on executive compensation on a consistent basis.

The enclosed proxy card gives stockholders four choices for voting on this item. Stockholders can choose whether the advisory vote on executive compensation should be conducted every year, every two years or every three years. Stockholders may also abstain from voting on this item. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board's recommendation on this item.

**What vote is required to approve this proposal?**

With respect to this proposal, stockholders will be able to choose among four options, namely whether future stockholder votes to approve executive compensation should occur every year, every two years or every three years, or whether the stockholder abstains from voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, in favor of one of the voting options contemplated by this proposal is required to approve, on an advisory basis, this proposal. If one of the voting options is not adopted by the required vote of the stockholders, the Board will evaluate the votes cast for each of the voting options and will deem the voting option receiving the greatest number of votes to be the voting option approved by the stockholders.

Only votes in favor of one of the voting options contemplated by this proposal will be counted as votes cast and abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for voting purposes.

**What does the Board recommend?**

**THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE OPTION OF "EVERY YEAR" FOR FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.**

**Proposal to Ratify the Appointment of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

***(Item 4 on the Proxy Card)***

**Change in Accounting Firm**

On May 13, 2026, the audit committee approved the appointment of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. ("CRI") as our independent registered public accounting firm and dismissed our prior independent registered public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte").

During the Company's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and for the subsequent interim period through May 13, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted CRI regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, in connection with which neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that CRI concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the Company's most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through May 13, 2026, (i) there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Deloitte's satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We provided Deloitte and CRI with a copy of the disclosures set forth above.

**What am I voting on?** 

You are voting on a proposal to ratify the appointment of CRI as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2026. The audit committee has appointed CRI to serve as independent auditors.

**What services do the independent auditors provide?** 

Audit services of Deloitte for fiscal 2025 included an audit of our consolidated financial statements and services related to periodic filings made with the SEC. Additionally, Deloitte provided certain services related to the consolidated quarterly reports and annual and other periodic reports, registration statements and comfort letters and other services as described below.

**Change in Accounting Firm**

CRI was appointed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on May 13, 2026. Deloitte was appointed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm beginning in fiscal year 2025. Grant Thornton LLP served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

**How much were the independent auditors paid in 2025 and 2024?** 

The following table summarizes the fees billed to the Company by Grant Thornton LLP for fiscal year 2024 and by Deloitte for fiscal year 2025 for audit, audit-related, tax, and other professional services (in millions).

**Does the audit committee approve the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm?** 

------

It is our audit committee's policy to pre-approve all audit, audit related and permissible non-audit services rendered to us by our independent auditor. Consistent with such policy, all of the fees listed above that we incurred for services rendered by CRI were pre-approved by our audit committee.

**Will a representative of CRI be present at the meeting?** 

Yes, one or more representatives of CRI will be present at the meeting. The representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders.

**What vote is required to approve this proposal?** 

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors is not required by the Company's amended bylaws or otherwise. However, we are submitting this proposal to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. If the appointment of CRI is not ratified, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

**Has CRI always served as Mammoth's independent auditors?** 

CRI has served as our independent auditors since May 13, 2026.

**Solicitation by Board; Expenses of Solicitation** 

The Board has sent you this proxy statement. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by mail, by telephone or in person. Those persons will receive no additional compensation for any solicitation activities. We will request banking institutions, brokerage firms, custodians, trustees, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of common stock held of record by those entities, and we will, upon the request of those record holders, reimburse reasonable forwarding expenses. We will pay the costs of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy material used in the solicitation of proxies.

**Submission of Future Stockholder Proposals** 

Under SEC rules, a stockholder who intends to present a proposal, other than director nominations, at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and who wishes the proposal to be included in the proxy statement for that meeting must submit the proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary. The proposal must be received no later than December 29, 2026**.** 

Stockholders who wish to propose a matter for action at the 2027 Annual Meeting, including the nomination of directors, but who do not wish to have the proposal or nomination included in the proxy statement, must notify the Company in writing of the information required by the provisions of our amended bylaws dealing with stockholder proposals. The notice must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary between February 11, 2027 and March 13, 2027. You can obtain a copy of our amended bylaws by writing the Corporate Secretary at the address below.

In addition, to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws and comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 12, 2027.

All written proposals should be directed to Corporate Secretary, Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., 14201 Caliber Drive Suite 300, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73134.

The Board is responsible for selecting and recommending director candidates and will consider nominees recommended by stockholders. If you wish to have the Board consider a nominee for director, you must send a written notice to our Corporate Secretary at the address provided above and include the information required by our amended bylaws and discussed on page 4 of this proxy statement.

**Availability of Annual Report on Form 10-K**

SEC rules require us to provide an Annual Report to stockholders who receive this proxy statement. Additional copies of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules, are available without charge to stockholders upon written request to Corporate Secretary, Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., 14201 Caliber Drive Suite 300, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134 or via the Internet at www.mammothenergy.com. We will furnish the exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K upon payment of our copying and mailing expenses.

**Householding** 

The SEC permits a single set of annual reports and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces our mailing and printing expenses.

If you would like to receive your own set of the annual report and proxy statement this year or in future years, follow the instructions described below and we will promptly send a separate copy of the annual report and proxy statement to you. Similarly, if you share an address with another Mammoth stockholder and together both of you would like to receive in the future only a single annual report and proxy statement, follow these instructions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If your shares of our common stock are registered in your own name, please contact our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., and inform them of your request by calling their toll-free number: (800) 962-4284 or by mail: Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If a broker or other nominee holds your shares, please contact your broker or nominee.

**Other Matters** 

The Board does not intend to present any other items of business other than those stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named as your proxies will vote the shares represented by it in accordance with their best judgment. Discretionary authority to vote on other matters is included in the proxy.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this proxy statement other than statements of historical fact, including any statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and liquidity. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings we make with the SEC, including those to be filed by us before the date of our Annual Meeting. Moreover, we operate in very competitive and rapidly changing industries. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or to differ materially from those discussed in any of our forward-looking statements. In addition, some of our sustainability goals, in particular those related to environmental matters, are based on our current expectations that may turn out to be inaccurate. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this proxy statement may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

**Annex A**

**Mammoth Energy Services, Inc.**

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

***Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as net income (loss) before net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, gains on disposal of assets, net, impairment of goodwill, stock based compensation, interest expense and financing charges, net, other expense (income), net (which is comprised of interest on trade accounts receivable and certain legal expenses) and (benefit) provision for income taxes, further adjusted to add back interest on trade accounts receivable. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industries depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss from continuing operations or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following tables provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income (loss), which is the GAAP financial performance measure included in the Pay Versus Performance table for the periods in which Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is presented (in thousands).

(1) Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was not used as a performance measure for executive compensation in 2023 as a result of the Company's discontinued operations in 2025. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income (loss) is not provided for that period.
