**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") and other documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") contain, and future oral or written statements or press releases by us and our management may contain, forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words "expects," "anticipates," "targets," "goals," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks" and "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or such other materials regarding our financial position, financial performance, liquidity, strategic alternatives, market outlook, future capital needs, capital allocation plans, business strategies and other plans and objectives of our management for future operations and activities are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of their experience and prevailing circumstances on the date such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, are inherently speculative and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•risks and uncertainties regarding the continuing effects of residual bankruptcy proceedings on us and our various constituents; attendant risks associated with restrictions on our ability to pursue our business strategies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the difficulty to predict our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility (as defined below) could limit our growth and our ability to finance our operations, fund our capital needs, respond to changing conditions and engage in other business activities that may be in our best interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the conditions in the oil and gas industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•U.S. and global market and economic conditions, including impacts relating to inflation and supply chain disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effects of public health threats, pandemics and epidemics, and the adverse impact thereof on our growth, operating costs, supply chain, labor availability, logistical capabilities, customer demand and industry demand generally, margins, utilization, cash position, taxes, the price of our securities, and our ability to access capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability of the members of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC+") to agree on and to maintain crude oil price and production controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•operating hazards, including the significant possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, or property damage for which we may have limited or no insurance coverage or indemnification rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the possibility of not being fully indemnified against losses incurred due to catastrophic events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•claims, litigation or other proceedings that require cash payments or could impair financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•credit risk associated with our customer base;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of regulatory programs and environmental matters on our operations or prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the impact that unfavorable or unusual weather conditions could have on our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the potential inability to retain key employees and skilled workers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•political, legal, economic and other uncertainties associated with our international operations could materially restrict our operations or expose us to additional risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•potential changes in tax laws, adverse positions taken by tax authorities or tax audits impacting our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in competitive and technological factors affecting our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•risks associated with the uncertainty of macroeconomic and business conditions worldwide;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•risks to our operations from potential cyber-attacks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•counterparty risks associated with reliance on key suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•challenges with estimating our potential liabilities related to our oil and natural gas property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•risks associated with potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM") security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the likelihood that the interests of our significant stockholders may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the risks associated with owning our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), for which there is no public market; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the likelihood that our stockholders agreement may prevent certain transactions that could otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

These risks and other uncertainties related to our business are described in detail below in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after such statements are made, including for example the market prices of oil and gas and regulations affecting oil and gas operations, which we cannot control or anticipate. Further, we may make changes to our business strategies and plans (including our capital spending and capital allocation plans) at any time and without notice, based on any changes in the

above-listed factors, our assumptions or otherwise, any of which could or will affect our results. For all these reasons, actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied by us in our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements for any reason, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in our business plans, our actual experience, or other changes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

<u>Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11</u>

On December 7, 2020, certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the "Affiliate Debtors") filed petitions for reorganization under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, in connection therewith, filed the proposed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Plan"). On February 2, 2021 (the "Emergence Date"), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and we emerged from Chapter 11.

On the Emergence Date, we qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting and we became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the implementation of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting, our historical financial statements on or before the Emergence Date are not a reliable indicator of our results of operations for any period after our adoption of fresh start accounting.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

As used herein, "Superior," "we," "us," "our" and similar terms refer to (i) prior to the Emergence Date, SESI Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Superior Energy Services, Inc.) ("Predecessor") and its subsidiaries and (ii) after the Emergence Date, Superior Energy Services, Inc. (formerly known as Superior Newco, Inc.) and its subsidiaries ("Successor"). Additionally, the use the following terms refer to our operations:

"Predecessor Period" January 1, 2021 through February 2, 2021 <br> "Successor Period" February 3, 2021 through December 31, 2021

**Customers**

Our customers are major and independent oil and gas companies that are active in the geographic areas in which we operate. There were no customers that exceeded 10% of our total revenues in 2022, 2021 or 2020. A reduction in sales to any of our existing large customers could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

**Competition** 

We provide products and services worldwide in highly competitive markets, with competitors comprised of both small or regionally focused companies in our Rentals segment, and large or international companies in our Well services segment. Our revenues and earnings can be affected by several factors, including but not limited to changes in competition, fluctuations in drilling and completion activity, perceptions of future prices of oil and gas, government regulation, disruptions caused by factors such as weather, pandemics, and geopolitics, and general economic conditions. We believe that the principal competitive factors are price, performance, product and service quality, safety, response time and breadth of products and services.

**Potential Liabilities and Insurance** 

Our operations involve a high degree of operational risk and expose us to significant liabilities. An accident involving our services or equipment, or the failure of a product sold by us, could result in personal injury, loss of life, and damage to property, equipment or the environment. Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence, such as fire, explosion, well blowout or vessel loss, may result in substantial claims for damages.

As is customary in our industry, our contracts generally provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our customers from any claims arising from personal injury or death of our employees, damage to or loss of our equipment, and pollution emanating from our equipment and services. Similarly, our customers generally agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims arising from personal injury or death of their employees, damage to or loss of their equipment or property, and pollution caused from their equipment or the well reservoir (including uncontained oil flow from a reservoir). Nonetheless, our indemnification arrangements may not protect us in every case.

We maintain a liability insurance program that covers against certain operating hazards, including product liability, property damage and personal injury claims, as well as certain limited environmental pollution claims for damage to a third party or its property arising out of contact with pollution for which we are liable, but well control costs are not covered by this program. These policies include primary and excess umbrella liability policies with limits of $200 million per occurrence, including sudden and accidental pollution incidents. All of the insurance policies we purchase contain specific terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions and are subject to either deductibles or self-insured retention amounts for which we are responsible. There can be no assurance that the nature and amount of insurance we maintain will be sufficient to fully protect us against all liabilities related to our business.

**Government Regulation** 

Our business is significantly affected by federal, state and local laws and other regulations. These laws and regulations relate to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•worker safety standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the protection of the environment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the handling and transportation of hazardous materials; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the mobilization of our equipment to, and operations conducted at, our work sites.

Numerous permits are required for the conduct of our business and operation of our various facilities and equipment, including our underground injection wells, trucks and other heavy equipment. These permits can be revoked, modified or renewed by issuing authorities based on factors both within and outside our control.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

We cannot predict the level of enforcement of existing laws and regulations or how such laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings in the future. We also cannot predict whether additional laws and regulations will be adopted, including changes in regulatory oversight, increase of federal, state or local taxes, increase of inspection costs, or the effect such changes may have on us, our businesses or our financial condition.

**Environmental Matters**

Our operations, and those of our customers, are subject to extensive laws, regulations and treaties relating to air and water quality, generation, storage and handling of hazardous materials, and emission and discharge of materials into the environment. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all regulations affecting our business. Historically, our expenditures in furtherance of our compliance with these laws, regulations and treaties have not been material, and we do not expect the cost of compliance to be material in the future.

Numerous federal, state and local governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), issue laws and regulations that often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for non-compliance. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before commencing operations, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with our operations, limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically or seismically sensitive areas and other protected areas, require action to prevent or remediate pollution from current or former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells or closing pits, result in the suspension or revocation of necessary permits, licenses and authorizations, require that additional pollution controls be installed and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations or related to our owned or operated facilities. Liability under such laws and regulations is often strict (i.e., no showing of "fault" is required) and can be joint and several. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances, hydrocarbons or other waste products into the environment. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially adversely affect our operations and financial position, as well as the oil and natural gas industry and infrastructure industry in general. We have not experienced any material adverse effect from compliance with these environmental requirements. This trend, however, may not continue in the future.

**Climate Change** 

In recent years, federal, state and local governments have taken steps to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases, collectively referred to as greenhouse gasses ("GHGs"). For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") includes billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration. These incentives could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or zero-carbon emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for oil and gas and consequently adversely affect the business of our customers thereby reducing demand for our services. In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. Specifically, the IRA amends the Clean Air Act to impose a fee on the emission of methane that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their GHG emissions to the EPA, including sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. The methane emissions charge would start in calendar year 2024 at $900 per ton of methane, increase to $1,200 in 2025 and be set at $1,500 for 2026 and each year after. Calculation of the fee is based on certain thresholds established in the IRA.

The EPA has also finalized a series of GHG monitoring, reporting and emissions control rules for the oil and natural gas industry, and almost half of the states have already taken measures to reduce emissions of GHGs primarily through the development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG cap-and-trade programs. Also, states have imposed increasingly stringent requirements related to the venting or flaring of gas during oil and gas operations. While we are subject to certain federal GHG monitoring and reporting requirements, our operations currently are not adversely impacted by existing federal, state and local climate change initiatives.

At the international level, in December 2015, the United States participated in the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The resulting Paris Agreement calls for the parties to undertake "ambitious efforts" to limit the average global temperature, and to conserve and enhance sinks and reservoirs of GHGs. The Agreement went into effect on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a framework for the parties to cooperate and report actions to reduce GHG emissions. Although the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement effective November 4, 2020, President Biden issued an executive order on January 20, 2021 to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which went into effect on February 19, 2021. On April 21, 2021, the United States announced that it was setting an economy-wide target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels in 2030. In November 2021, in connection with the 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland, the United

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

States and other world leaders made further commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emission, including reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030. Furthermore, many state and local leaders have stated their intent to intensify efforts to support the international commitments.

Restrictions on emissions of methane or carbon dioxide that may be imposed could adversely affect the oil and natural gas industry by reducing demand for hydrocarbons and by making it more expensive to develop and produce hydrocarbons, either of which could have a material adverse effect on future demand for our services. At this time, it is not possible to accurately estimate how potential future laws or regulations addressing GHG emissions would impact our business.

In addition, there have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Furthermore, claims have been made against certain energy companies alleging that GHG emissions from oil and natural gas operations constitute a public nuisance under federal and/or state common law. As a result, private individuals or public entities may seek to enforce environmental laws and regulations against certain energy companies and could allege personal injury, property damages or other liabilities. While our business is not a party to any such litigation, we could be named in actions making similar allegations. An unfavorable ruling in any such case could significantly impact our operations and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

Moreover, climate change may cause more extreme weather conditions such as more intense hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and snow or ice storms, as well as rising sea levels and increased volatility in seasonal temperatures. Extreme weather conditions can interfere with our productivity and increase our costs and damage resulting from extreme weather may not be fully insured. However, at this time, we are unable to determine the extent to which climate change may lead to increased storm or weather hazards affecting our operations.

**Raw Materials**

We purchase various raw materials and component parts in connection with delivering our products and services. These materials are generally, but not always, available from multiple sources and may be subject to price volatility. While we generally do not experience significant long-term shortages of these materials, we have from time to time experienced temporary shortages of particular raw materials. We are always seeking ways to ensure the availability of resources, as well as manage costs of raw materials.

**Seasonality**

Seasonal weather and severe weather conditions can temporarily impair our operations and reduce demand for our products and services. Examples of seasonal events that negatively affect our operations include high seas associated with cold fronts during the winter months and hurricanes during the summer months in the Gulf of Mexico, and severe cold during winter months in the U.S. land market area.

**Human Capital**

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 2,200 employees. Our employees in Argentina are subject to union contracts which represents approximately 22.0% of our total employee base. We believe that we have good relationships with our employees. We strive to employ a dynamic workforce to complement our core values. Our hiring policy forbids the discrimination in employment on the basis of age, culture, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, physical appearance, race or religion. We are an inclusive company with people of various backgrounds, experience, culture, styles and talents. We are committed to the health, safety and wellness of our employees, and we pride ourselves on workplace safety. We track and maintain several key safety metrics, which senior management reviews periodically and are included in the determination of their compensation and we evaluate management on their ability to provide safe working conditions on job sites and to create a safety culture.

**Facilities**

We own or lease a large number of facilities in the U.S. and in various other countries throughout the world. Our international operations are primarily focused in Latin America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East/North Africa regions. As of December 31, 2022, we owned 9 properties classified as held for sale.

**<u>Item 1A</u><u>. Risk Factors</u>**

The following information should be read in conjunction with the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the matters contained under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following discussion of "risk factors" identifies the most significant risks or uncertainties that could (i) materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects, as well as the market value of our securities, or (ii) cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that apply to all companies operating in the U.S. and globally, as well as other risks that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. These risks include:

**Risks Related to the Chapter 11 Cases**

**Despite having emerged from bankruptcy on February 2, 2021, we continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with residual Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.** 

As discussed below (see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), we emerged from bankruptcy on the Emergence Date. It is possible that having filed for bankruptcy could adversely affect our business and relationships with customers, vendors, employees, service providers and suppliers. Due to uncertainties, many risks exist, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•vendors or other contract counterparties could terminate their relationship or require financial assurances or enhanced performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability to renew existing contracts and compete for new business may be adversely affected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and employees may be adversely affected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•employees may be more easily attracted to other employment opportunities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•competitors may take business away from us, and our ability to attract and retain customers may be negatively impacted.

Because of the residual risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, the ultimate impact that events that occurred during, or that may occur subsequent to, these proceedings will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations cannot be accurately predicted or quantified. While we believe the passage of time will reduce these risks, we cannot assure you that having been subject to bankruptcy protection will not adversely affect our operations going forward.

**Risks Related to Our Business**

**Our business depends on conditions in the oil and gas industry, especially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and gas companies.**

Our business depends on the level of oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activity of, and the corresponding capital spending by, oil and gas companies worldwide. The level of exploration, development and production activity is directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices, which historically have been volatile and difficult to predict and are likely to continue to be volatile. Oil and natural gas prices are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, economic growth trends, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond our control. Price volatility continued throughout part of 2022, primarily due to the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the macroeconomic effects resulting from the related sanctions. In addition, oil prices are particularly sensitive to actual and perceived threats to global political stability and to changes in production from OPEC+ member states. The ongoing conflict, and the continuation of, or any increase in, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, has led and may continue to lead to an increase in the volatility of global oil and gas prices, which could have a corresponding negative impact on the capital expenditure of oil and gas companies as a result of the higher perceived risk. In addition, the imposition of comprehensive sanctions against Russia (including in relation to the Russian energy sector) as well as the announcement of prohibitions on Russian oil and gas imports by certain members of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and certain other countries, as of March 2022, including additional countries that may enforce prohibitions of a similar nature in the future, has led to and is expected to continue to lead to an increase in the price of global oil and gas prices. Lower oil and natural gas prices generally lead to decreased spending by our customers, while higher oil and natural gas prices generally lead to increased spending up to a point. Our customers may also consider the volatility of oil and natural gas prices and other risk factors and require higher returns for individual projects if there is higher perceived risk. Any of these factors could significantly affect the demand for oil and natural gas, which could

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

affect the level of capital spending by our customers and in turn could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

The availability of quality drilling prospects, exploration success, relative production costs, expectations about future oil and natural gas demand and prices, the stage of reservoir development, the availability of financing, and political and regulatory environments are also expected to affect levels of exploration, development, and production activity, which would impact the demand for our services. Any prolonged reduction of oil and natural gas prices, as well as anticipated declines, could also result in lower levels of exploration, development, and production activity.

The demand for our services may be affected by numerous factors, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•demand for energy, which is affected by worldwide economic activity, population growth and market expectations regarding future trends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability of OPEC+ and other key oil-producing countries to set and maintain production levels for oil;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the level of excess production capacity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the discovery rate of new oil and natural gas reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•domestic and global political and economic uncertainty, socio-political unrest and instability, terrorism or hostilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•weather conditions and changes in weather patterns, including summer and winter temperatures that impact demand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the availability, proximity and capacity of transportation facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•oil refining capacity and shifts in end-customer preferences toward fuel efficiency;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the level and effect of trading in commodity futures markets, including trading by commodity price speculators and others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•demand for and availability of alternative, competing sources of energy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent to which taxes, tax credits, environmental regulations, auctions of mineral rights, drilling permits, drilling concessions, drilling moratoriums or other governmental regulations, actions or policies affect the production, cost of production, price or availability of petroleum products and alternative energy sources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•technological advances affecting energy exploration, production and consumption;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•raw material inflation and availability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•availability of funds for exploration and development due to increased dividend payments and share repurchase programs. Numerous EP companies have increased the amount of their dividend payments and share repurchase programs, causing reduced available funds for exploration and development

The oil and gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by significantly reduced demand for oilfield services and downward pressure on the prices we charge. Sustained lower oil and natural gas prices have led to a significant decrease in spending by our customers over the past several years, which have led to significantly decreased revenues. Further decreases in oil and natural gas prices could lead to further cuts in spending and potential lower revenues for us. Moreover, weakness in the oil and gas industry may adversely impact the financial position of our customers, which in turn could cause them to fail to pay amounts owed to us in a timely manner or at all. We expect continued volatility in both crude oil and natural gas prices (including the possibilities that such prices could remain at current levels or decline further for an extended period of time), as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities as a result of decisions of OPEC+ and other oil exporting nations regarding production, and the other factors listed above. Any of these events have affected, and could further affect, the demand for oil and natural gas and has and could further have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

**Our business may also be affected by new sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other responses to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.**

As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certain members of the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others, have developed coordinated sanctions and export-control measure packages.

Based on actions taken and other public statements to date, these packages may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•comprehensive financial sanctions against certain state-owned enterprises and Russian banks (including SWIFT cut-off);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a prohibition on transactions related to the Russian Central Bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•additional designations of Russian individuals with significant business interests and government connections;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•designations of individuals and entities involved in Russian military activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•restrictions on investment in the Russian energy sector;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•enhanced export controls and trade sanctions targeting Russia's import of certain goods and technology; and

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•closure of airspace to Russian aircraft.

As the invasion of Ukraine continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether such governments or other governments will impose additional sanctions, export-controls or other economic or military measures against Russia. Although, we have minimal operational exposure in Russia, representing less than $0.1 million of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, and we do not intend to commit further capital towards projects in Russia, the impact the invasion of Ukraine, including economic sanctions and export controls or additional war or military conflict, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect oil and gas companies, including many of which are our customers, as well as the global supply chain. In addition, the continuation of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia could lead to other disruptions, instability and volatility in global markets and industries, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

**Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict at this time.**

While we have a significant cash balance currently, we face uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources over the long-term and have extremely limited, if any, access to additional financing. We cannot assure you that cash on hand, letters of credit under the Credit Facility, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations over the long-term.

Furthermore, turmoil in the credit and financial markets could adversely affect financial institutions, inhibit lending and limit our access to funding through borrowings under the Credit Facility or obtaining other financing in the public or private capital markets on terms we believe to be reasonable. Prevailing market conditions could be adversely affected by the ongoing disruptions in domestic or overseas sovereign or corporate debt markets, low commodity prices or other factors impacting our business, contractions or limited growth in the economy or other similar adverse economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. Instability in the global financial markets has from time to time resulted in periodic volatility in the capital markets. In addition, there has been a relatively recent increased focus of debt and equity capital providers on environmental, social and governance ("ESG") investing, and the energy industry faces growing negative sentiment in the market. This volatility, as well as this increased focus on ESG investing and growing negative sentiment, could limit our access to the credit markets, leading to higher borrowing costs or, in some cases, the inability to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Any such failure to obtain additional financing could jeopardize our ability to repay, refinance or reduce our debt obligations, or to meet our other financial commitments.

**Restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility could limit our growth and our ability to finance our operations, fund our capital needs, respond to changing conditions and engage in other business activities that may be in our best interests.**

The Credit Facility imposes operating and financial restrictions. Unless all loans are paid off and letters of credit outstanding are cash collateralized and the Credit Agreement terminated, these restrictions limit the ability to, among other things, subject to permitted exceptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•incur additional indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•make investments or loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•create liens;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•consummate mergers and similar fundamental changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•make restricted payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•enter into transactions with affiliates.

The restrictions contained in the Credit Facility could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•limit the ability to plan for, or react to, market conditions, to meet capital needs or otherwise to restrict our activities or business plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•adversely affect the ability to finance our operations or to engage in other business activities that would be in our interest.

The Credit Facility includes provisions that require mandatory prepayment of outstanding borrowings and/or a borrowing base redetermination when there are asset dispositions over a certain threshold, which could limit the ability to generate liquidity from asset sales. Also, the Credit Facility requires compliance with a specified financial ratio if triggered by an event of default or availability beneath specified thresholds. The ability to comply with this ratio may be affected by events beyond our control and, as a result, this ratio may not be met in circumstances when it is tested. This financial ratio restriction could limit the ability to obtain future financings, make needed capital expenditures, withstand a continued downturn in our business or a downturn in the economy in general or otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities. Declines in oil and natural gas prices could result in failure to meet one or more of the financial

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

covenants under the Credit Facility, which could require refinancing or amendment of such obligations resulting in the payment of consent fees or higher interest rates or require a capital raise at an inopportune time or on terms not favorable.

A breach of any of these covenants or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios or financial condition tests could result in a default under the Credit Facility. A default under the Credit Facility, if not cured or waived, could result in acceleration of all indebtedness outstanding thereunder and/or a requirement to cash collateralize letters of credit issued thereunder.

**Our business may be materially and adversely impacted by U.S. and global market and economic conditions, including impacts relating to inflation and supply chain disruptions.**

Our revenue is derived from the services and products that we offer to major, national and independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies around the world for the various phases of their respective well's economic life cycles. Given the concentration of our business activities in the oil and gas industry, we will be particularly exposed to certain economic downturns. United States and global market and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, disrupted and volatile due to many factors, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, component shortages and related supply chain challenges, geopolitical developments such as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and increasing inflation rates and the responses by central banking authorities to control such inflation, among others.

General business and economic conditions that could affect us and our customers include fluctuations in economic growth, debt and equity capital markets, liquidity of the global financial markets, the availability and cost of credit, investor and consumer confidence, and the strength of the economies in which we and our customers operate. A weak economic environment could result in significant decreases in demand for our products and services, including the delay or cancellation of current or anticipated projects. In particular, rising inflation rates in the United States have begun to affect businesses across many industries, including ours, by increasing the costs of labor, equipment, parts, consumables and shipping. A high inflationary environment may also cause customers to defer or decrease their expenditures on the services and products that we provide. In addition, supply chain disruptions and delays, could adversely affect our ability to provide our services and deliver our products in a timely manner, which could impair our ability to meet customer demand and result in lost sales, increased supply chain costs or damage to our reputation. Any of foregoing these economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**There are operating hazards inherent in the oil and gas industry that could expose us to substantial liabilities.**

Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and gas industry that may lead to property damage, personal injury, death or the discharge of hazardous materials into the environment. Many of these events are outside of our control. While our personnel has decreased significantly as a result of divestitures in connection with the Transformation Project, from time to time, personnel are injured or equipment or property is damaged or destroyed as a result of accidents, failed equipment, faulty products or services, failure of safety measures, uncontained formation pressures or other dangers inherent in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. Any of these events can be the result of human error or purely accidental, and it may be difficult or impossible to definitively determine the ultimate cause of the event or whose personnel or equipment contributed thereto. All of these risks expose us to a wide range of significant health, safety and environmental risks and potentially substantial litigation claims for damages. With increasing frequency, our products and services are deployed in more challenging exploration, development and production locations. From time to time, customers and third parties may seek to hold us accountable for damages and costs incurred as a result of an accident, including pollution, even under circumstances where we believe we did not cause or contribute to the accident. Our insurance policies are subject to exclusions, limitations and other conditions, and may not protect us against liability for some types of events, including events involving a well blowout, or against losses from business interruption. Our insurance also may not cover losses associated with pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain insurance at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate or on terms that we deem commercially reasonable, or at all. Any damages or losses that are not covered by insurance, or are in excess of policy limits or subject to substantial deductibles or retentions, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

**We may not be fully indemnified against losses incurred due to catastrophic events.**

As is customary in our industry, our contracts generally provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our customers from any claims arising from personal injury or death of our employees, damage to or loss of our equipment, and pollution emanating from our equipment and services. Similarly, our customers generally agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims arising from personal injury or death of their employees, damage to or loss of their equipment or property, and pollution caused from their equipment or the well reservoir (including uncontained oil flow from a reservoir). Our indemnification arrangements may not protect us in every case. For example, from time to time we may enter into contracts with less favorable indemnities or perform work without a contract

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

that protects us. In addition, our indemnification rights may not fully protect us if we cannot prove that we are entitled to be indemnified or if the customer is bankrupt or insolvent, does not maintain adequate insurance or otherwise does not possess sufficient resources to indemnify us. In addition, our indemnification rights may be held unenforceable in some jurisdictions.

Our customers' changing views on risk allocation could cause us to accept greater risk to win new business or could result in us losing business if we are not prepared to take such risks. To the extent that we accept such additional risk, and insure against it, our insurance premiums could rise.

**The credit risks of our customer base could result in losses.**

Many of our customers are oil and gas companies that from time to time face liquidity constraints as the commodity price environment changes. These customers impact our overall exposure to credit risk as they are also affected by prolonged changes in economic and industry conditions. If a significant number of our customers experience a prolonged business decline or disruptions, we may incur increased exposure to credit risk and bad debts.

**We are subject to environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations, which could reduce our business opportunities and revenue, and increase our costs and liabilities.**

Our business is significantly affected by a wide range of environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations in the areas in which we operate, including increasingly rigorous environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, water discharges and waste management. Generally, these laws and regulations have become more stringent and have sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties. The Macondo well explosion in 2010 resulted in additional regulation of our offshore operations, and similar onshore or offshore accidents in the future could result in additional increases in regulation. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties, imposition of remedial requirements, permit revocations, requirements for additional pollution controls, and injunctions limiting or prohibiting some or all of our operations.

Environmental laws and regulations may provide for "strict liability" for remediation costs, damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety as a result of our conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior owners or operators or other third parties. Strict liability can render a party liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault on the part of the party. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. For example, our well service and fluids businesses routinely involve the handling of significant amounts of waste materials, some of which are classified as hazardous substances. We also store, transport and use radioactive and explosive materials in certain of our operations. In addition, many of our current and former facilities are, or have been, used for industrial purposes. Accordingly, we could become subject to material liabilities relating to the containment and disposal of hazardous substances, oilfield waste and other waste materials, the use of radioactive materials, the use of underground injection wells, and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In addition, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, new domestic or foreign laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis of new or increased liabilities that could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations.

In addition, we and our customers may need to apply for or amend facility permits or licenses from time to time with respect to storm water or wastewater discharges, waste handling, or air emissions relating to manufacturing activities or equipment operations, which subjects us and our customers to new or revised permitting conditions that may be onerous or costly to comply with.

**Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases or incentivizing zero-carbon energy sources could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas our customers produce.**

Increasing concerns that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases ("GHGs") may endanger public health and produce climate changes with significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, droughts and other climatic events, have drawn significant attention from government agencies, environmental advocacy groups and technological initiatives aimed at reducing the use of hydrocarbons. In response, additional costly requirements and restrictions have been imposed on the oil and gas industry to regulate and reduce the emission of GHGs and transition to a global low carbon economy.

For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") includes billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration. These incentives could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or zero-carbon emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for oil and gas and consequently adversely affect the business of our

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

customers, thereby reducing demand for our services. In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. Specifically, the IRA amends the Clean Air Act to impose a fee on the emission of methane that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their GHG emissions to the EPA, including sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. The methane emissions charge would start in calendar year 2024 at $900 per ton of methane, increase to $1,200 in 2025 and be set at $1,500 for 2026 and each year after. Calculation of the fee is based on certain thresholds established in the IRA.

The EPA has also finalized a series of GHG monitoring, reporting and emissions control rules for the oil and natural gas industry, and almost half of the states have already taken measures to reduce emissions of GHGs primarily through the development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG cap-and-trade programs. Also, states have imposed increasingly stringent requirements related to the venting or flaring of gas during oil and gas operations. While we are subject to certain federal GHG monitoring and reporting requirements, our operations currently are not adversely impacted by existing federal, state and local climate change initiatives.

At the international level, in December 2015, the United States participated in the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The resulting Paris Agreement calls for the parties to undertake "ambitious efforts" to limit the average global temperature, and to conserve and enhance sinks and reservoirs of GHGs. The Agreement went into effect on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a framework for the parties to cooperate and report actions to reduce GHG emissions. Although the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement effective November 4, 2020, President Biden issued an executive order on January 20, 2021 to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which went into effect on February 19, 2021. On April 21, 2021, the United States announced that it was setting an economy-wide target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels in 2030. In November 2021, in connection with the 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland, the United States and other world leaders made further commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emission, including reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030. Furthermore, many state and local leaders have stated their intent to intensify efforts to support the international commitments.

Restrictions on emissions of methane or carbon dioxide that may be imposed could adversely affect the oil and natural gas industry by reducing demand for hydrocarbons and by making it more expensive to develop and produce hydrocarbons, either of which could have a material adverse effect on future demand for our services.

In addition, our customers are also requiring additional equipment upgrades to address the growing concerns of GHG emission and climate change which result in higher operational costs for service providers such as us.

In addition, there have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Furthermore, claims have been made against certain energy companies alleging that GHG emissions from oil and natural gas operations constitute a public nuisance under federal and/or state common law. As a result, private individuals or public entities may seek to enforce environmental laws and regulations against certain energy companies and could allege personal injury, property damages or other liabilities. While our business is not a party to any such litigation, we could be named in actions making similar allegations. An unfavorable ruling in any such case could significantly impact our operations and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

At this stage, we cannot predict the impact of these or other initiatives on our or our customers' operations, nor can we predict whether, or which of, other currently pending GHG emission proposals will be adopted, or what other actions may be taken by domestic or international regulatory bodies. The potential passage of climate change laws or regulations may curtail production and demand for fossil fuels such as oil and gas in areas of the world where our customers operate and thus adversely affect future demand for our products and services, which may in turn adversely affect future results of operations.

**Continuing or worsening inflationary pressures and associated changes in monetary policy have resulted in and may result in additional increases to our operating costs, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise.**

The U.S. inflation rate increased in 2021 and 2022 and may continue to increase in 2023. These inflationary pressures have resulted in and may result in additional increases to our operating costs, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Sustained levels of high inflation have likewise caused the Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, which could have the effects of raising the cost of capital and depressing economic growth, either of which - or the combination thereof - could hurt the financial and operating results of our business.

**Adverse and unusual weather conditions may affect our operations.**

Our operations may be materially affected by severe weather conditions in areas where we operate. Severe weather, such as hurricanes, high winds and seas, blizzards and extreme temperatures may cause evacuation of personnel, curtailment of services and suspension of operations, inability to deliver materials to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules, loss of or damage to equipment and facilities and reduced productivity. In addition, variations from normal weather patterns can have a significant impact on demand for oil and natural gas, thereby reducing demand for our services and equipment.

**Our inability to retain key employees and skilled workers could adversely affect our operations.**

Our performance could be adversely affected, especially in light of our emergence from bankruptcy, if we are unable to retain certain key employees and skilled technical personnel. Our ability to continue to expand the scope of our services and products depends in part on our ability to increase the size of our skilled labor force. The loss of the services of key employees or the inability to employ or retain skilled technical personnel could adversely affect our operating results. In the past, the demand for skilled personnel has been high and the supply limited. We have experienced increases in labor costs in recent years and may continue to do so in the future. Furthermore, these internal and external factors may also be impacted by our recent emergence from bankruptcy, the uncertainties currently facing us and the business environment and changes we may make to the organizational structure to adjust to changing circumstances.

**We face significant competition in attracting and retaining talented employees. Further, managing succession for, and retention of, key executives is critical to our success, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our future performance.**

Our ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced employees is essential to meet our current and future goals and objectives. There is no guarantee we will be able to attract and retain such employees or that competition among potential employers will not result in increased salaries or other benefits. If we are unable to retain existing employees or attract additional employees, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We may not be able to locate or employ on acceptable terms qualified replacements for key executives if their services are no longer available. Furthermore, our business could be affected adversely if suitable replacement personnel are not recruited quickly or effectively. Our failure to adequately plan for succession of senior management and other key management roles or the failure of key employees to successfully transition into new roles could have a material adverse effect on our businesses and results of operations.

**Our international operations and revenue are affected by political, economic and other uncertainties worldwide.**

Our international operations are subject to varying degrees of regulation in each of the foreign jurisdictions in which we provide services. Local laws and regulations, and their interpretation and enforcement, differ significantly among those jurisdictions, and can change significantly over time. Future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes or interpretations may have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver services within various foreign jurisdictions.

In addition to these international regulatory risks, our international operations are subject to a number of other risks inherent in any business operating in foreign countries, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•political, social and economic instability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•potential expropriation, seizure, deprivation, confiscation or nationalization of assets, or other governmental actions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•deprivation of contract rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•increased operating costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•inability to collect receivables and longer receipt of payment cycles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•social unrest and protests, strikes, acts of terrorism, war or other armed conflict;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•import-export quotas or restrictions, including tariffs and the risk of fines or penalties assessed for violations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•currency exchange controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•currency exchange rate fluctuations, devaluations and conversion restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•potential submission of disputes to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or epidemics that disrupt our ability to transport personnel or equipment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•embargoes or other restrictive governmental actions that could limit our ability to operate in foreign countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the European Union, the United States or other regions or countries;

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•additional U.S. and other regulation of non-domestic operations, including regulation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") as well as other anti-corruption laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•restrictions on the repatriation of funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•limitations in the availability, amount or terms of insurance coverage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the risk that our international customers may have reduced access to credit because of higher interest rates, reduced bank lending or a deterioration in our customers' or their lenders' financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the imposition of unanticipated or increased environmental and safety regulations or other forms of public or governmental regulation that increase our operating expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•complications associated with installing, operating and repairing equipment in remote locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•theft of, or lack of sufficient legal protection for, proprietary technology and other intellectual property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the geographic, time zone, language and cultural differences among personnel in different areas of the world; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•challenges in staffing and managing international operations.

These and the other risks outlined above could cause us to curtail or terminate operations, result in the loss of personnel or assets, disrupt financial and commercial markets and generate greater political and economic instability in some of the geographic areas in which we operate. International areas where we operate that have significant risk include the Middle East, Indonesia, Nigeria and Angola.

**Laws, regulations or practices in foreign countries could materially restrict our operations or expose us to additional risks.**

In many countries around the world where we do business, all or a significant portion of the decision making regarding procuring our services and products is controlled by state-owned oil companies. State-owned oil companies or prevailing laws may (i) require us to meet local content or hiring requirements or other local standards, (ii) restrict with whom we can contract or (iii) otherwise limit the scope of operations that we can legally or practically conduct. Our inability or failure to meet these requirements, standards or restrictions may adversely impact our operations in those countries. In addition, our ability to work with state-owned oil companies is subject to our ability to negotiate and agree upon acceptable contract terms, and to enforce those terms. In addition, many state-owned oil companies may require integrated contracts or turnkey contracts that could require us to provide services outside our core businesses. Providing services on an integrated or turnkey basis generally requires us to assume additional risks.

Moreover, in order to effectively compete in certain foreign jurisdictions, it is frequently necessary or required to establish joint ventures or strategic alliances with local contractors, partners or agents. In certain instances, these local contractors, partners or agents may have interests that are not always aligned with ours. Reliance on local contractors, partners or agents could expose us to the risk of being unable to control the scope or quality of our overseas services or products, or being held liable under the FCPA, or other anti-corruption laws for actions taken by our strategic or local contractors, partners or agents even though these contractors, partners or agents may not themselves be subject to the FCPA or other applicable anti-corruption laws. Any determination that we have violated the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, reputation or prospects.

**If we are not able to design, develop, and produce commercially competitive products and to implement commercially competitive services in a timely manner in response to changes in the market, customer requirements, competitive pressures, and technology trends, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.**

The market for oilfield services in which we operate is highly competitive and includes numerous small companies capable of competing effectively in our markets on a local basis, as well as several large companies that possess substantially greater financial resources than we do. Contracts are traditionally awarded on the basis of competitive bids or direct negotiations with customers.

The market for our services and products is characterized by continual technological developments to provide better and more reliable performance and services. If we are not able to design, develop, and produce commercially competitive products and to implement commercially competitive services in a timely manner in response to changes in the market, customer requirements, competitive pressures, and technology trends, our business and consolidated results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Likewise, if our proprietary technologies, equipment, facilities, or work processes become obsolete, we may no longer be competitive, and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may be disadvantaged competitively and financially by a significant movement of exploration and production operations to areas of the world in which we are not currently active.

**We depend on particular suppliers and are vulnerable to product shortages and price increases.**

Some of the materials that we use are obtained from a limited group of suppliers. Our reliance on these suppliers involves several risks, including price increases, supply chain disruptions, inferior quality and a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply in a timely

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

manner. We do not have long-term contracts with most of these sources, and the partial or complete loss of certain of these sources could have a negative impact on our results of operations and could damage our customer relationships. Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these materials could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

**Estimates of our potential liabilities relating to our oil and natural gas property may be incorrect.**

Actual abandonment expenses may vary substantially from those estimated by us and any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated liability recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the risk exists we may underestimate the cost of plugging wells and abandoning production facilities. If costs of abandonment are materially greater than our estimates, this could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

**Potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms could impact our operating cash flows and results of operations.**

Federal oil and natural gas leases contain standard terms and require compliance with detailed Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ("BSEE") and BOEM regulations and orders issued pursuant to various federal laws, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. In 2016, BOEM undertook a review of its historical policies and procedures for determining a lessee's ability to decommission platforms on the Outer Continental Shelf ("OCS") and whether lessees should furnish additional security, and in July 2016, BOEM issued a new Notice to Lessees requiring additional security for decommissioning activities. In January 2017, BOEM extended the implementation timeline for properties with co-lessees by an additional six months, and in mid-2017 announced that the Notice to Lessees would be stayed while BOEM continued to review its implementation issues and continued industry engagement to gather additional information on the financial assurance program.

During the second half of 2016, BSEE increased its estimates of many offshore operator's decommissioning costs, including the decommissioning costs at our sole federal offshore oil and gas property, in which our subsidiary owns a 51% non-operating interest. In October 2016, BOEM sent an initial proposal letter to the operator of the oil and gas property, proposing an increase in the supplemental bonding requirement for the property's sole fixed platform that was eight to ten times higher than the revised supplemental bonding requirement requested for any other deep-water fixed platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Both the operator and our subsidiary submitted formal dispute notices, asserting that the estimates in the October 2016 proposal letter may be based on erroneous or arbitrary estimates of the potential decommissioning costs, and requesting in-person meetings to discuss the estimate. We asked that BSEE and BOEM reduce the estimate to an amount that more closely approximates actual decommissioning costs, consistent with estimates identified by BSEE and BOEM for similar deep-water platforms. BSEE and BOEM have not yet responded to our dispute notice.

On October 16, 2020, BOEM published a proposed rule addressing OCS oil and gas decommissioning costs (BOEM-2018-0033). The proposed rule contains updated criteria for determining decommissioning costs. Under the proposed rule, BOEM would only require additional security when (1) a lessee or grant holder poses a substantial risk of becoming financially unable to meet its obligations; (2) there is no co-lessee, co-grant holder or predecessor that is liable for those obligations with sufficient financial capacity; and (3) the property is at or near the end of its productive life. BSEE would typically issue orders to predecessors in title in a reverse chronological order. The proposed rule would also require that a party appealing any final decommissioning decision or order provide a surety bond to ensure that funding for decommissioning is available if the order is affirmed and the liable party then defaults. Based on the proposed framework, BOEM estimates its amount of financial assurance would decrease from $3.3 billion to $3.1 billion, although BOEM expects the rule would provide greater protection as the financial assurance would be focused on the riskiest properties.

We cannot predict when these laws and regulations may be adopted or change in the future. If BOEM withdraws the October 2020 rule proposal and proceeds to implement a rule or other regulatory action requiring additional security similar to the Notice to Lessees issued in July 2016 and we are unable to obtain the additional required bonds or post other acceptable security to secure of decommissioning obligations, BOEM may suspend or cancel operations at the oil and gas property or otherwise impose monetary penalties. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating cash flows and liquidity.

Moreover, under existing BOEM and BSEE rules relating to assignment of offshore leases and other legal interests on the OCS, assignors of such interests may be held jointly and severally liable for decommissioning of OCS facilities existing at the time the assignment was approved by BOEM, in the event that the assignee or any subsequent assignee is unable or unwilling to conduct required decommissioning.

**Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock**

**There may be circumstances in which the interests of our significant stockholders could conflict with the interests of our other stockholders.**

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

On the Emergence Date, in order to implement certain transactions contemplated by the Plan, the Stockholders Agreement was executed with each stockholder pursuant to the Plan (constituting all of the stockholders on the Emergence Date) and all other stockholders from time to time, to provide for certain of our governance matters. As of March 1, 2023, two groups of these stockholders currently hold approximately 61.6% of our Class A Common Stock. Furthermore, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, these two groups of stockholders have appointed three of our six directors.

Circumstances may arise in which these groups of stockholders may have an interest in pursuing or preventing acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions, including the issuance of additional shares or debt, that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment in us, and their interests may not in all cases be aligned with our interests.

**There is no public market for shares of our Class A Common Stock, and we do not expect there to be a market for shares of our Class A Common Stock.**

There is no existing trading market for shares of our Class A Common Stock, and no market for our shares may develop in the future. If developed, any such market may not be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, our stockholders may be unable to liquidate an investment in our Class A Common Stock. Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, the Predecessor's common stock was canceled and we issued new Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock is not currently traded on a national securities exchange. There is no active market in the Class A Common Stock. No assurance can be given that an active market will develop for our Class A Common Stock or as to the liquidity of the trading market for our Class A Common Stock. Our Class A Common Stock may be traded only infrequently, if at all, and reliable market quotations may not be available. Holders of our Class A Common Stock may experience difficulty in reselling, or an inability to sell, their shares. In addition, if an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, significant sales of our Class A Common Stock, or the expectation of these sales, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock. For so long as our Class A Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, our ability to access equity markets, obtain financing and provide equity incentives could be negatively impaired. Furthermore, certain transfers of our Class A Common Stock require an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

**Provisions in the Stockholders Agreement could delay or prevent a change in control.**

Certain provisions of our Stockholders Agreement may delay, discourage, prevent or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, whether through a tender offer, business combination, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions include, among other things, those that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•permit two groups of our stockholders to elect up to three members of our Board of Directors and limit the removal of such directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•restrict certain transfers (including acquisitions and dispositions) of our securities.

**Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is restricted.**

We declared a special dividend of $12.45 per share of our Class A Common Stock that was paid on December 28, 2022 to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2022. Our Board of Directors continuously evaluates opportunities to pay dividends in accordance with our evolving strategic outlook. As a result, our decision to declare or any cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future is unknown. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, industry trends and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Any such decision will also be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing our current and future indebtedness.

**We do not have a class of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Until we do, we will not be required to provide certain reports to our stockholders.**

We do not have a class of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Until we do, we will not be required to provide certain reports to our stockholders. We are currently required to file periodic reports with the SEC by virtue of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. However, until we register a class of our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, we are not subject to the SEC's proxy rules, and large holders of our capital stock will not be subject to beneficial ownership reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 16 of the Exchange Act and their related rules. As a result, our stockholders and

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

potential investors may not have available to them as much or as robust information as they may have if and when we become subject to those requirements.

**General Risk Factors**

**From time to time, we are subject to various claims, litigation and other proceedings that could ultimately be resolved against us, requiring material future cash payments or charges, which could impair our financial condition or results of operations.**

The size, nature and complexity of our business make us susceptible to various claims, both in litigation and binding arbitration proceedings. We may in the future become subject to various claims, which, if not resolved within amounts we have accrued, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, during periods of depressed market conditions we may be subject to an increased risk of our customers, vendors, former employees and others initiating legal proceedings against us.

Any litigation or claims, even if fully indemnified or insured, could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future.

**Changes in tax laws or tax rates, adverse positions taken by taxing authorities and tax audits could impact our operating results.**

We are subject to taxation in a significant number of domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws or tax rates, the resolution of tax assessments or audits by various tax authorities could impact our operating results. In addition, we may periodically restructure our legal entity organization. If taxing authorities were to disagree with our tax positions in connection with any such restructurings, our effective income tax rate could be impacted. The final determination of our income tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties and related authorities in each taxing jurisdiction, as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding future operations and results and the timing of income and expenses. We may be audited and receive tax assessments from taxing authorities that may result in assessment of additional taxes that are ultimately resolved with the authorities or through the courts. We believe these assessments may occasionally be based on erroneous and even arbitrary interpretations of local tax law. Resolution of any tax matter involves uncertainties and there are no assurances that the outcomes will be favorable. If U.S. or other foreign tax authorities change applicable tax laws, our overall taxes could increase, and our business, financial condition or results of operating may be adversely impacted.

The IRA 2022 imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on the "adjusted financial statement income" of certain large corporations (generally, corporations reporting at least $1 billion average adjusted pre-tax net income on their consolidated financial statements) as well as an excise tax of 1% on the fair market value of certain public company stock repurchases for tax years

beginning after December 31, 2022.

Currently, we do not believe the CAMT, or any of the other tax provisions, will have a material impact on us for 2023, however, we will continue to monitor the future impact to us related to this new law. The U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and other standard-setting bodies are expected to issue guidance on how the CAMT, stock buyback excise tax and other provisions of the IRA 2022 will be applied or otherwise administered that may differ from our interpretations.

**An ownership change could limit our use of net operating losses arising prior to an ownership change.** 

If we were to experience an "ownership change," as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), our ability to offset taxable income arising after the ownership change with net operating losses ("NOLs") arising prior to the ownership change would be limited, possibly substantially. An ownership change would establish an annual limitation on the amount of our pre-change NOLs we could utilize to offset our taxable income in any future taxable year to an amount generally equal to the value of our stock immediately prior to the ownership change multiplied by the long term tax-exempt rate. In general, an ownership change will occur if there is a cumulative increase in our ownership of more than 50 percentage points by one or more "5% shareholders" (as defined in the Code) at any time during a rolling three-year period.

We experienced an "ownership change" on February 2, 2021 due to the Plan that subject certain of our tax attributes, including our NOLs and other carryforwards, to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code. However, we do not expect the Section 382 limitation to impact our ability to use U.S. tax attributes. Calculations pursuant to Section 382 of the Code can be very complicated and no assurance can be given that upon further analysis, our ability to take advantage of our NOLs may be limited to a greater extent than we currently anticipate. As of December 31, 2022, we had NOLs of $367.9 million. Future changes in our stock ownership could result in an additional ownership change.

**Our ability to remediate the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.**

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as we did not design and maintain effective controls to review the reasonableness of assumptions determined by, and accuracy of calculations performed by, our external tax service providers. If we are not able to remediate the material weakness and otherwise to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our financial statements may be materially misstated and investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We are working to remediate the material weakness and are taking steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. While we are undertaking efforts to remediate this material weakness, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. At this time, we cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of our assessment of the remediation efforts. We cannot assure you that our efforts will remediate this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

**We are affected by global economic factors and political events.**

Our financial results depend on demand for our services and products in the U.S. and the international markets in which we operate. Declining economic conditions, negative perceptions about economic conditions, energy costs and supply chain disruptions, could result in a substantial decrease in demand for our services and products. World political events could also result in further U.S. military actions, terrorist attacks and related unrest. Military action by the U.S. or other nations could escalate and further acts of terrorism may occur in the U.S. or elsewhere. Such acts of terrorism could lead to, among other things, a loss of our investment in the country, impairment of the safety of our employees, extortion or kidnapping, and impairment of our ability to conduct our operations. Such developments have caused instability in the world's financial and insurance markets in the past, and many experts believe that a confluence of worldwide factors could result in a prolonged period of economic uncertainty and slow growth in the future. In addition, any of these developments could lead to increased volatility in prices for oil and gas and could negatively affect the markets for our products and services. Insurance premiums could also increase and coverages may be unavailable.

Uncertain economic conditions and instability make it particularly difficult for us to forecast demand trends. The timing and extent of any changes to currently prevailing market conditions is uncertain and may affect demand for many of our services and products. Consequently, we may not be able to accurately predict future economic conditions or the effect of such conditions on demand for our services and products and our results of operations or financial condition.

**Our operations may be subject to cyber-attacks that could have an adverse effect on our business operations.**

Like most companies, we rely heavily on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, to manage or support a variety of our business operations, and to maintain various records, which may include information regarding our customers, employees or other third parties, and the integrity of these systems are essential for us to conduct our business and operations. We make significant efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of information and systems (and maintain contingency plans in the event of security breaches or system disruptions). However, we cannot provide assurance that our security efforts and measures will prevent security threats from materializing, unauthorized access to our systems, loss or destruction of data, account takeovers, or other forms of cyber-attacks or similar events, whether caused by mechanical failures, human error, fraud, malice, sabotage or otherwise. We have office employees who work remotely. Remote work relies heavily on the use of remote networking and online conferencing services that enable employees to work outside of our corporate infrastructure and, in some cases, use their own personal devices, which exposes us to additional cybersecurity risks, including unauthorized access to sensitive information as a result of increased remote access and other cybersecurity related incidents. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. It is possible that our business, financial and other systems could be compromised, which could go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time. While various procedures and controls are being utilized to mitigate exposure to such risk, there can be no assurance that the procedures and controls that we implement, or which we cause third party service providers to implement, will be sufficient to protect our systems, information or other property. Additionally, customers as well as other third parties whom we rely on face similar cybersecurity threats, which could directly or indirectly impact our business and operations. The frequency, scope and sophistication of cyber-attacks continue to grow, which increases the possibility that our security measures will be unable to prevent our systems' improper functioning or the improper disclosure of proprietary information. Any failure of our

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

information or communication systems, whether caused by attacks, mechanical failures, natural disasters or otherwise, could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, or subject us to claims, any of which could materially adversely affect us.

**<u>Item 1B</u><u>. Unresolved Staff Comments</u>**

None.

**<u>Item 2</u><u>. Properties</u>**

Information on properties is contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**<u>Item 3</u><u>. Legal Proceedings</u>**

From time to time we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, including any such proceedings described in the following two paragraphs hereof, after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

A subsidiary of ours is involved in legal proceedings with two former employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product paid for by the subsidiary and developed while they worked for the subsidiary. Those former employees have filed two separate lawsuits in the Harris County District Court, in which the former employees allege that the royalty payments they had invoiced at 25% and for which they received payments in the invoiced amounts since 2010, instead should have been paid at a rate of 50%. The first lawsuit (the "First Case"), filed during the second quarter of 2018, sought to recover alleged unpaid royalties from May 2014 through May 2019. The second lawsuit (the "Second Case") was filed in the same district court against the same subsidiary of ours, brought the same claims, and sought damages post-judgment from the First Case until the discontinuation of the leasing of the product at issue by the subsidiary at the end of 2019.

In both lawsuits, the district court ruled against our subsidiary and entered final judgments, which we fully secured with a bond. We strongly disagreed with the result and believed the district court committed several legal errors that should be corrected by reversal of each of the judgments. Accordingly, we pursued separate appeals in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals

In August 2022, in the appeal from the judgment in the First Case, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals (the "Court of Appeals") ruled in favor of our subsidiary on the plaintiffs' claims for a combined 50% royalty. The Court of Appeals ruled that because the plaintiffs invoiced our subsidiary for a combined 25% royalty and accepted payments in that amount every month since 2010, the plaintiffs forever waived any claim to any royalties in any amount other than a combined 25% royalty, net of expenses. The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment in the First Case and remanded to the district court to assess damages, if any, owed for royalties between January 2018 and May 2019.

The appeal from the judgment in the Second Case was abated by the Court of Appeals pending the resolution of the appeal in the First Case.

On October 7, 2022, our subsidiary reached a confidential settlement in both the First Case and the Second Case with the plaintiffs to resolve any and all disputes between them. At the request of both parties in the appeals from both the First Case and the Second Case, the Court of Appeals has reversed the respective judgments entered by the district court. The district court has now entered take-nothing judgments in favor of our subsidiary in both cases and has released the supersedeas bonds filed by our subsidiary in both cases. Accordingly, both the First Case and the Second Case are fully and finally resolved.

Our Indian subsidiary, SES Energy Services India Pvt. Ltd ("SES India"), entered into a contract with an Indian oil and gas company to provide an offshore vessel for well stimulation. A dispute arose over the performability of the terms of the contract. The contract was terminated by the customer. Any remaining contingency under this contract was terminated in connection with SES India entering into bankruptcy during 2022.

In October 2022, we had a hearing before the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals (the "Tax Board") in relation to a dispute arising in April 2019 pertaining to a use tax assessment from 2016 as a result of the construction of a vessel by one of our subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, the assessment, including interest, totaled $26.9 million. While we are confident that the assessment is legally insupportable, if the Tax Board upholds the assessment we will be responsible for payment of the full assessment within thirty days of the decision. Although we are unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, we have reserved an amount we believe to be adequate to cover any final assessment levied by the state.

**Executive Summary**

**<u>General</u>**

Superior Energy Services is a global oilfield products and services company with a portfolio of premier rental and well services brands providing customers with robust inventory, responsive delivery, engineered solutions, and expert consultative service — all aligned with enterprise-wide Shared Core Values for safe, sustainable operations and corporate citizenship; and committed to free cash flow generation and value creation.

Superior Energy Services drives true value to its business units by providing enterprise-wide support, financial discipline, capital strength, and strategic focus. Our experienced, knowledgeable leadership within those businesses has excellent latitude to execute their business strategy, determine pricing, allocate inventory, and develop new products and technology. All with a focus on safety, operational excellence, competitive positioning, and financial performance that entrenches our relationships with our customers and elevates our customers' satisfaction.

Our execution of the transformation initiatives set forth in 2021 continued to be validated in 2022 with positive results. The transformation weighted our product offerings toward businesses critical to our customer's oil and gas operations. These businesses have limited competition with the three largest global oilfield service companies; require deep technical expertise, notably in premium drill pipe and bottom hole assembly rentals; and have strong cash flow generating capacity as was delivered in our 2022 results.

Our ongoing strategy of focusing operations on businesses with solid market positions along with the strength of our brands, their leaders, and teams contributed in no small part to our positive performance, margin expansion, and strong competitive position in 2022 overcoming labor market and supply chain challenges and being an early mover on effective pricing strategies to address cost inflation and margin expansion.

As we strive to be good stewards of our resources, we paid a $250 million distribution and a return of capital to shareholders in December 2022.

Our portfolio of companies operate in two segments, Rentals and Well Services, to provide highly specialized solutions to the upstream oil and gas industry.

**Rentals Segment**

Our rental services include premium downhole tubulars and drill pipe, design, engineering and manufacturing of bottomhole assembly accessories, and offshore accommodation units.

Capabilities beyond multi-zone single-trip systems include intelligent completions, gravel and frac pack systems to HPHT packers, screens, flow, and barrier valves.

International Snubbing Services ("ISS")

Comprised of two geographical operating divisions: USA and Australia, ISS include manufacturing facilities in both locations with operational activity in 2023 shifting to a heavier weighting on P&A, which is seen as a growth market. Additional growth opportunities as Premier fixed-platform and Bass Strait P&A service provider in Australia and increasing well pull work onshore and P&A work in the GOM will be explored in 2023.

<u>Strategic Outlook</u>

We engaged Evercore as our financial advisor nearly a year ago to assist management and our Board in exploring alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including through potential merger or acquisition opportunities. As part of this process, we remain in and continue to pursue preliminary or exploratory dialogue with various potential counterparties. We are allocating resources accordingly should strategic alternatives to grow shareholder value, including meaningful consolidation opportunities, become actionable in 2023. Such opportunities may include, but are not limited to, an acquisition by or merger with a publicly traded company, one or more acquisitions of or mergers with private energy service companies, or growth through the acquisition of an additional strategic product line, either in connection with or following an exchange listing by us. Our Board has not set a timetable or made any decisions related to further actions or potential strategic alternatives at this time. Additionally, any potential transaction would depend upon entry into definitive agreements with a potential counterparty on terms acceptable to us. There can be no assurance that we will enter any such transaction or consummate or pursue any transaction or other strategic alternative.

As we focus our financial strength, flexibility, and leading market position on converting operating margins to free cash flow generation, we expect to continue to deliver what we believe are compelling returns and stewardship. We will maintain focus on executing the final phases of the transformation strategies accomplished in 2022 by reducing our geographic footprint and streamlining our operational support function to align with the current size of our operations. An opportunistic and disciplined approach to growth and strategic capital expenditure allocations are intended to ensure that our market-leading brands have the support and resources needed to meet the industry's highest expectations and unlock opportunities enterprise-wide, while maintaining the highest standards of excellence and safety.

We focus on building a sustainable future through our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. Our Shared Core Values are critical to achieving our ESG goals and helping our customers, suppliers, and business partners achieve theirs. We continue to advance our ESG performance for the benefit of stakeholders with plans to publish our ESG performance with transparency starting in 2024 with our inaugural 2023 Sustainability Report.

We will persist in advancing our strategic focus on efficiency, capital discipline, and sustainable performance characterized by cash flow generation, safe operations, reliable service delivery, and fair, responsible dealings in alignment with our Shared Core Values central to Superior's culture.

<u>Industry Trends</u>

The oil and gas industry is both cyclical and seasonal. The level of spending by oil and gas companies is highly influenced by current and expected demand as well as future prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in spending resulted in an increased or decreased demand for our services and products. Rig counts are an indicator of the level of spending by oil and gas companies.

Our financial performance is significantly affected by the rig count in the U.S. land and offshore market areas as well as oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig count, which are summarized in the table below.

**Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021**

The Successor Period and the Predecessor Period are distinct reporting periods as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy. References in these results of operations to changes in comparison to year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Current Period") combine the Successor Period and Predecessor Period results for year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Combined Period") in order to provide some comparability of such information. While this combined presentation is not presented according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and no comparable GAAP measures are presented, management believes that providing this financial information is the most relevant and useful method for making comparisons to the Current Period as reviewing the Successor Period results in isolation would not be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance.

---

We reported net income from continuing operations for the Current Period of $291.0 million on revenues of $884.0 million and $147.0 million on revenues of $694.7 million for the Combined Period. Net income from continuing operations for the Combined Period was driven primarily by a $335.6 million gain in reorganization items, net primarily due to debt forgiveness as part of our emergence from bankruptcy.

<u>Revenues and Cost of Revenues</u>

Revenues from our Rentals segment increased $115.9 million, or 40.4%, in the Current Period as compared to the Combined Period. Cost of revenues also increased $24.4 million, or 21.6%, as compared to the Combined Period. The increase in commodity prices led to an increase in capital expenditures by our customers which had an impact on rig count between periods. Additionally, greater utilization and higher pricing for both premium drill pipe and bottom hole assembly accessories, which allowed for a higher gross margin of 65.8% for the Current Period as compared to 60.6% for the Combined Period.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

Revenues from our Well Services segment increased $73.4 million, or 18.0%, in the Current Period. Cost of revenues increased $0.5 million, or 0.2%, in the Current Period as compared to the Combined Period. Gross margin for the Current Period increased to 29.5% as compared to 16.9% for the Combined Period due to changes in revenue mix in our completions applications, increases in service revenues with higher margins and a reduction in pass through and mobilization projects with lower margins. Additionally, the strategic shift from our more labor-intensive service businesses to U.S. offshore and international operations reduces our exposure to the most significant wage inflation pressures in this segment given our lower U.S. land headcount.

<u>Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion</u>

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense for the December 31, 2022 decreased $130.2 million, or 57.0%, as compared to the Combined Period. Depreciation expense, primarily in the Combined Period, has been impacted by the valuation process under fresh start accounting, where certain fully depreciated assets were assigned a new estimated fair value and a new remaining useful life of less than 36 months.

<u>Restructuring Expenses</u>

Restructuring expenses were $6.4 million and $24.2 million during the December 31, 2022 and the Combined Period, respectively. This decrease is a result of severance expenses and costs related to executive officers that resigned during the Combined Period as well as professional fees associated with the Transformation Project (defined below) that were not as prevalent in the Current Period. In addition to Transformation Project costs, Current Period restructuring expenses also include legal and other professional fees related to certain tax and shareholder distribution matters.

<u>Other (gains) and losses, net</u>

Other gains, net for the Current Period were $29.1 million compared to other losses, net of $16.7 million in the Combined Period. Other (gains) and losses, net primarily relate to charges recorded as part of our strategic disposal of low margin assets in line with our efforts to reconfigure our organization both operationally and financially (the "Transformation Project") and includes gains and losses on the disposal of assets, as well as impairments related to long-lived assets.

In the Current Period, other gains, net includes $23.6 million related to our Well Services segment, including a gain of $17.4 million from revisions to our decommissioning program to a reef-in-place program which significantly reduced the estimated costs associated with decommissioning our oil and gas property and $5.2 million related to our Rentals segment.

In the Combined Period, other losses, net comprised $13.1 million related to our Well Services segment, including approximately $11.7 million from exit activities related to SES Energy Services India Pvt. Ltd ("SES India"), and $3.6 million related to our Rentals segment. SES India was admitted into bankruptcy during the Current Period.

<u>Interest Income, net</u>

Interest income, net for December 31, 2022 was $11.7 million compared to $2.5 million for the Combined Period. The increase in interest income was driven by interest derived on overnight money market accounts primarily in Argentina and the United States.

<u>Other income (expense)</u>

Other income (expense) primarily relate to re-measurement gains and losses associated with our foreign currencies and realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investment in common stock of Select Energy Services, Inc. ("Select").

Losses on foreign currencies during the Current Period and Combined Period were $12.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Losses on foreign currencies during the Current Period include an expense of $2.7 million which represents a correction of an immaterial error relating to a period prior to our emergence from bankruptcy. Gains and losses on foreign currencies are primarily related to our operations in Brazil and Argentina.

During the Current Period, we disposed of 4.1 million shares of Select for $34.7 million, and we recognized gains totaling $8.9 million in connection with these transactions. During the Combined Period, we disposed of 0.7 million shares of Select for $4.1 million, and we recognized gains totaling $0.4 million. Unrealized gains during the Combined Period were $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2022, all shares of Select had been disposed.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the Current Period was a net benefit of 36.4% and a net expense of 21.4% and 18.2% for the Successor Period and the Predecessor Period, respectively. Expected tax in the Current Period would be a $44.8 million expense at the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%. We recognized a worthless stock deduction for U.S. income tax purposes with an estimated net tax benefit of $104.0 million, the primary driver of the net reported Current Period effective tax benefit of $77.7 million. In addition, there were valuation allowance releases primarily for Brazil deferred tax assets and a portion of U.S. foreign tax credits offset by foreign losses for which no tax benefit was recorded resulting in net tax benefit of $18.5 million. The tax rate for the Combined Period is different from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily from non-deductible items, foreign losses for which no tax benefit was recorded and the adoption of fresh start accounting during the period.

Our unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2022 was $14.0 million, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible $9.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve months due to the conclusion of tax audits or statutes of limitations expiration. It is our policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

<u>Discontinued Operations</u>

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $4.6 million for the Current Period as compared to $40.4 million for the Combined Period. See Note 17 - Discontinued Operations to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Net income from continuing operations for the Combined Period was $106.6 million, which compares to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Prior Period") of $396.2 million. The Combined Period net income was driven by recognition of a $335.6 million gain in Reorganization items, net primarily due to debt forgiveness as part of our emergence from bankruptcy. Also, the results for the Combined Period include a charge of $24.2 million related to restructuring activities and other losses, net of $16.7 million, which primarily relate to charges associated with asset disposals.

<u>Revenues and Cost of Revenues</u>

Revenue for the Combined Period was $694.7 million, an increase of $27.4 million, or 4.1%, from the Prior Period. Cost of revenues for the Combined Period was $452.0 million, an increase of $43.9 million, or 10.8%, from the Prior Period. Both revenues and cost of revenues in the Prior Period were severely impacted by the effects of COVID-19, and the increase in our results in the Combined Period were driven by improvements related to operations in Latin America and improvements in our well control services, partially offset by declines in well completion services. Additionally, during the Combined Period, we incurred shut down costs of $8.7 million at certain locations primarily in our Well Services segment which include costs associated with the severance of personnel and write-down of inventory at these locations.

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion</u>

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion was $228.2 million during the Combined Period compared to $115.8 million during the Prior Period. The increase is related to both an increase in the carrying value of our assets and lower average remaining useful lives as a result of fair value adjustments recorded as a part of fresh start accounting. Depreciation expense in the Combined Period was impacted by the valuation process under fresh start accounting. Certain fully depreciated assets were assigned an estimated fair value of approximately $197.5 million and a remaining useful life of less than 36 months which significantly increased the amount of depreciation expense recorded in the Combined Period. Depreciation expense for these previously fully depreciated assets was $167.5 million for the Combined Period.

<u>General and Administrative Expenses</u>

General and administrative expense was $128.6 million during the Combined Period compared to $205.8 million during the Prior Period. The decrease is the result of our continued focus on limiting spending and reducing our cost structure.

<u>Restructuring Expenses</u>

Restructuring expenses during the Combined Period were $24.2 million and primarily relate to severance expenses and costs for executive officers that resigned during the period as well as professional fees associated with our Transformation Project.

Restructuring expenses for the Prior Period were $47.1 million, and include $31.5 million of advisory and professional fees relating to the Chapter 11 Cases and $15.6 million related to the a premium paid to certain consenting noteholders in connection with the bankruptcy.

<u>Other (gains) and losses, net</u>

Other losses, net during the Combined Period were $16.7 million and were comprised $13.1 million related to our Well Services segment, which includes approximately $11.7 million from exit activities related to SES Energy Services India Pvt. Ltd, and $3.6 million related to our Rentals segment. Other (gains) and losses, net primarily relate to charges recorded as part of our strategic disposal of low margin assets in line with our Transformation Project and includes gains and losses on the disposal of assets, as well as impairments related to long-lived assets.

<u>Reorganization items, net</u>

Reorganization items, net were $335.6 million during the Combined Period.

<u>Interest Income (Expense), net</u>

Interest income was $2.5 million for the Combined Period as compared to interest expense of $92.4 million for the Prior Period. Interest expense for the Prior Period was a result of outstanding debt which was subsequently eliminated as a liability subject to compromise and settled in accordance with the Plan.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective tax rate for the Successor Period and the Predecessor Period was 21.4%, and 18.2%, respectively.

The tax rate in the Successor Period is different from the blended federal and state statutory rate of 22.5% primarily from non-deductible items and foreign losses for which no tax benefit was recorded.

The tax rate in the Predecessor Period is different from the blended federal and state statutory rate of 22.5% primarily from the adoption of fresh start accounting during the period. The cancellation of indebtedness income resulting from the restructuring has significantly reduced our US tax attributes, including but not limited to net operating loss carryforwards. We experienced an ownership change under Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which is anticipated to limit certain remaining tax attributes.

The effective tax rate for the Prior Period was 10.6%. The tax rate is different from the blended federal and state statutory rate of 22.5% primarily from foreign losses for which no tax benefit was recorded.

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Discontinued Operations</u>

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $40.4 million for the Combined Period as compared to $168.7 million for the Prior Period. See Note 17 - Discontinued Operations to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

Cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as our level of discretionary capital expenditures and divestitures of non-core assets, are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions.

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and from asset sales, and availability under our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $339.1 million. During the Current Period, net cash provided by operating activities was $175.4 million, and we received $85.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of assets and Select common stock. The primary uses of liquidity are to provide support for operating activities, restructuring activities and capital expenditures. We spent $65.8 million of cash on capital expenditures during the Current Period.

The energy industry faces growing negative sentiment in the market which may affect our ability to access capital on terms favorable to us. While we have confidence in the level of support from our lenders, this negative sentiment in the energy industry has not only impacted our customers in North America, but also affected the availability and pricing for most credit lines extended to participants in the energy industry. From time to time, we may enter into transactions to dispose of businesses or capital assets that no longer fit our long-term strategy.

Distributions to Shareholders

On November 16, 2022, we announced that our Board declared a special cash dividend of $12.45 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock. The Board determined that, in addition to the special cash dividend, which totaled $250.0 million, to shareholders of our Class A common stock, we would make dividend equivalent payments to each holder of unvested restricted stock units. The special dividend was paid on December 28, 2022.

Debt Instruments

On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the Plan, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers named therein providing for a $120.0 million asset-based secured revolving Credit Facility, all of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar. The Credit Facility will mature on December 9, 2024.

As of December 31, 2022, the borrowing base under the Credit Facility was approximately $120.0 million and we had $34.9 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The accounting policies described below are considered critical in obtaining an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because their application requires significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Management's estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the following conditions apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the estimate requires significant assumptions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in estimate could have or, a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if different estimates that could have been selected had been used, there could be a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

It is management's view that the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, actual results can differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The sections below contain information about our most critical accounting estimates.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Long-Lived Assets Valuation</u> We review long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets to be held and used in operations when the fair value of those assets is less than their respective carrying amount. Impairment losses are recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value. Fair value is measured, in part, by the estimated cash flows to be generated by those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon, among other things, historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market rates, utilization levels and operating performance. Our estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions or changes in an asset's operating performance. Assets are generally grouped by subsidiary or division for the impairment testing, which represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Our estimate of fair value represents our best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market transactions and is subject to variability. The oil and gas industry is cyclical and our estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant impact on the carrying value of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down cycles, may result in impairment charges.

<u>Decommissioning liability</u> Our decommissioning liability is associated with our oil and gas property and include costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of the related platform and equipment and site restoration. We review the adequacy of our decommissioning liability whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or relating timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. Estimates of our decommissioning liability are calculated using the income approach. Estimates of future retirement costs are adjusted for an estimated inflation rate over the expected time period prior to retirement and future cash outflows are discounted by a credit adjusted risk-free rate.

<u>Income Taxes</u> We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Our deferred tax calculation requires us to make certain estimates about our future operations. Changes in state, federal and foreign tax laws, as well as changes in our financial condition or the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities, could affect these estimates. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that the rate is enacted.

<u>Fair Value Measurements</u> Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. We historically utilized unadjusted quoted prices in the market for measuring the fair value of debt. We utilize unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets for measuring the fair value of non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities. We utilized unadjusted quoted prices which are readily determinable for measuring the fair value of our investment in equity securities. We use both cost and market estimates when calculating fair value for long-lived assets for impairment.

**Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance**

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – New Accounting Pronouncements."

**<u>Item 7A</u><u>. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk</u>**

We are exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. A discussion of our market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk**

Prior to the Emergence Date, the functional currency of the majority of our international subsidiaries was US dollars and the functional currency for certain of our international subsidiaries was the local currency.

Commencing on the Emergence Date, as part of adopting a new accounting policy at fresh start accounting, the functional currency of certain international subsidiaries changed from the local currency to US dollars. This change brings alignment so that our functional currency is US dollars. Management considered the economic factors outlined in FASB ASC Topic No. 830 - Foreign Currency Matters in the determination of the functional currency. Management concluded that the predominance of factors support the use of the US Dollar as the functional currency which resulted in a change in functional currency to US dollars for all international subsidiaries.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

The change in functional currency is applied on a prospective basis beginning on the Emergence Date and translation adjustments will continue to remain as a component of prior periods accumulated other comprehensive loss.

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

**Interest Rate Risk**

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.

**Commodity Price Risk**

Our revenues, profitability and future rate of growth significantly depend upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of oil and gas that can economically be produced.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Superior Energy Services, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Successor) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Accounting

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Superior Energy Services, Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively the "Affiliate Debtors") filed petitions on December 7, 2020 with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Bankruptcy Court) for reorganization under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Affiliate Debtor's Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization on January 19, 2021 and the Affiliate Debtor's emerged from bankruptcy on February 2, 2021. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting as of February 2, 2021.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Decommissioning Liabilities Assessment

As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a decommissioning liability associated with oil and gas property related to the plugging of wells, decommissioning of the platform and related equipment and site restoration. Management

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

reviews the adequacy of the decommissioning liability whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company undertook an initiative to alter their decommissioning program, whereby they intend to convert the platform into an artificial reef ("reef-in-place"). The reef-in-place program would involve severing the top portion of the structure at a permitted navigation depth and placing the severed structure on the sea floor next to the base of the remaining structure. Converting to a reef-in-place program reduced the estimated costs associated with decommissioning the wells and platform, and also impacted the time required to complete the decommissioning activities. In December 2022, management revised their estimates relating to the timing and the cost of decommissioning the wells. Management now estimates all decommissioning activities, including the decommissioning of the platform, to be completed by the second quarter of 2030. As disclosed by management, the decommissioning liabilities are calculated using the income approach. Estimates of future retirement costs are adjusted for an estimated inflation rate over the expected time period prior to retirement and future cash outflows are discounted by a credit adjusted risk-free rate. As of December 31, 2022, the decommissioning liabilities were approximately $161 million.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the decommissioning liabilities assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the decommissioning liability estimate, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumption related to future retirement costs, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) testing management's process for developing the decommissioning liability estimate, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow model, (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used by management in the model, and (iv) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of management's significant assumption related to future retirement costs.

Income Tax Benefit Related to a Worthless Stock Deduction

As described in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. For the year ended December 31, 2022, management recognized a worthless stock deduction in the U.S. related to deductible outside basis differences in certain domestic subsidiaries, which is the primary driver of the increase in federal deferred tax. The Company executed a transaction through which a worthless stock deduction of approximately $495 million was deducted for income tax purposes resulting in an estimated net tax benefit of $104 million. Management evaluated the deduction and believes it will more likely than not be sustained on its technical merits and have recognized its benefits accordingly.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the worthless stock deduction is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the technical merits of the worthless stock deduction that was deducted for income tax purposes, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management's determination of the worthless stock deduction, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) evaluating the appropriateness of management's assessment of the technical merits of the worthless stock deduction and the application of relevant tax laws in the United States and, (ii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in the evaluation of management's assessment of the technical merits of the worthless stock deduction and the application of relevant tax laws in the United States, the completeness and accuracy of data used in the assessment, and the evaluation of opinions of third-party tax and legal advisors.

**SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020

**(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

<u>Basis of Presentation</u>

As used herein, "we," "us," "our" and similar terms refer to (i) prior to February 2, 2021 (the "Emergence Date"), SESI Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Superior Energy Services, Inc.) and its subsidiaries ("Predecessor") and (ii) after the Emergence Date, Superior Energy Services, Inc. (formerly known as Superior Newco, Inc.) and its subsidiaries ("Successor").

As used herein, the following terms refer to our operations:

"Predecessor Period" January 1, 2021 through February 2, 2021 <br> "Successor Period" February 3, 2021 through December 31, 2021

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain previously reported amounts, specifically related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Due to the lack of comparability with historical financials, our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented with a "black line" division to emphasize the lack of comparability between amounts presented as of, and after, February 2, 2021 and amounts presented for all prior periods. Our financial results for future periods following the application of fresh start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material.

<u>Business</u>

We serve major, national and independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies around the world and offer products and services with respect to the various phases of a well's economic life cycle.

Historically, we provided a wide variety of services and products to many markets within the energy industry. Our core businesses focus on products and services that we believe meet the criteria of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•being critical to our customers' oil and gas operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•limiting competition from the three largest global oilfield service companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•requiring deep technical expertise through the design or use of our products or services, such as premium drill pipe and drilling bottom hole assembly accessory rentals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•unlikely to become a commoditized product or service to our customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•providing strong cash flow generation capacity and opportunities.

The result of this approach is a portfolio of business lines grounded in our core mission of providing high quality products and services while maintaining the trust and serving the needs of our customers, with an emphasis on free cash flow generation and capital efficiency.

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On December 7, 2020, certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the "Affiliate Debtors") filed petitions for reorganization under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, in connection therewith, filed the proposed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Plan"). On the Emergence Date, the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and we emerged from Chapter 11.

On the Emergence Date, we qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting and we became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the implementation of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting, our historical financial statements on or before the Emergence Date are not a reliable indicator of our results of operations for any period after our adoption of fresh start accounting.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Use of Estimates</u>

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, we make various estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities reported as of the dates of the balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for the periods shown in the income statements and statements of cash flows. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections related to fresh start accounting, including the fair value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond our control.

<u>Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk</u>

The majority of our business is conducted with major and independent oil and gas companies. We evaluate the financial strength of our customers and provide allowances for probable credit losses when deemed necessary.

The market for our services and products is the oil and gas industry in the U.S. land and Gulf of Mexico areas and select international market areas. Oil and gas companies make capital expenditures on exploration, development and production operations. The level of these expenditures historically has been characterized by significant volatility.

We derive a large amount of revenue from a small number of major and independent oil and gas companies. There were no customers that exceeded 10% of our total revenues in 2022, 2021 or 2020.

Our assets that are potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The financial institutions with which we transact business are large, investment grade financial institutions which are "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, thereby minimizing our exposure to credit risks for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.

<u>Cash Equivalents</u>

We consider all short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

<u>Accounts Receivable and Allowances</u>

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount or the earned amount but not yet invoiced and do not bear interest. We maintain our allowance for doubtful accounts at net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our best estimate of probable uncollectible amounts in existing accounts receivable. We assess individual customers and overall receivables balances to identify amounts that are believed to be uncertain of collection. The aging of the receivable balance as well as economic factors concerning the customer factor into the judgment and estimation of allowances, which often involve significant dollar amounts. Adjustments to the allowance in future periods may be made based on changing customer conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $6.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

As part of the adoption of fresh start accounting and effective upon emergence from bankruptcy, we have adopted new presentations for certain items within our consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations. Prior to emergence from bankruptcy, we recognized bad debt expense within general and administrative expenses. These expenses are now recognized within cost of revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Current Period"), we recognized $2.2 million in bad debt expense. During the Successor Period and Predecessor Period, we recognized $4.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in bad debt recoveries. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Prior Period"), we recognized bad debt expense of $11.9 million.

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered, rentals provided or products sold. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers and is the unit of account under Topic 606. We account for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on their own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract's standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices charged for services rendered, rentals provided or products sold. Our payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30 days.

Services revenue: primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service. Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and are primarily based on a per hour or per day basis.

Rentals revenue: primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for use of rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months.

Product sales: products are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts with our customers that include fixed or determinable prices but do not include right of return provisions or other significant post-delivery obligations. We recognize revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by the customer.

We expense sales commissions when incurred as the amortization period would have been one year or less.

<u>Property, Plant and Equipment</u>

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except for assets for which reduction in value is recorded during the period and assets acquired using purchase accounting, which are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|

<u>Reduction in Value of Long-Lived Assets</u>

We review long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets to be held and used in operations when the fair value of those assets is less than their respective carrying amount. Impairment losses are recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value. Fair value is measured, in part, by the estimated cash flows to be generated by those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon, among other things, historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market rates, utilization levels and operating performance. Our estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions or changes in an asset's operating performance. Assets are generally grouped by subsidiary or division for the impairment testing, which represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Our estimate of fair value represents our best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market transactions and is subject to variability. The oil and gas industry is cyclical and our estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant impact on the carrying value of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down cycles, may result in impairment charges.

Prior to emergence from bankruptcy, we recognized the reduction in value assets separately on the consolidated statement of operations. Reduction in value of assets are now recognized within other (gains) and losses, net as a component of operating income.

<u>Other (gains) and losses, net</u>

Other (gains) and losses, net primarily relate to charges recorded as part of our strategic disposal of low margin assets in line with our efforts to reconfigure our organization both operationally and financially (the "Transformation Project") and includes gains and losses on the disposal of assets, as well as impairments related to long-lived assets.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

Other gains, net for the Current Period were $29.1 million, and are primarily comprised of gains of $23.6 million related to our Well Services segment, including a gain of $17.4 million from revisions in estimates related to our decommissioning liability, and $5.2 million related to net gains on the disposal of assets in our Rentals segment.

Other losses, net in the Successor Period were $16.7 million, and are comprised of $13.1 million related to our Well Services segment, including approximately $11.7 million from exit activities related to SES Energy Services India Pvt. Ltd, and $3.6 million related to our Rentals segment.

<u>Restricted Cash</u>

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2022 includes approximately $77.3 million held in a collateral account for the payment and performance of secured obligations including the reimbursement of letters of credit. Additionally, we hold approximately $2.8 million in escrow to secure the future decommissioning obligations related to the oil and gas property.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Our deferred tax calculation requires us to make certain estimates about our future operations. Changes in state, federal and foreign tax laws, as well as changes in our financial condition or the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities, could affect these estimates. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that the rate is enacted.

We recognize deferred tax assets ("DTAs") to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our DTAs in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

<u>Foreign Currency</u>

The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Financial statements of our international subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the historical exchange rate for affected the long-term assets and liabilities and the balance sheet date exchange rate for affected current assets and liabilities. An average exchange rate is used for each period for revenues and expenses. These transaction gains and losses, as well as any other transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the currency exchange rates change. During the Current Period, the Successor Period, the Predecessor Period and the Prior Period, we recorded foreign currency losses of $12.6 million, $8.8 million, $2.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

<u>Stock-Based Compensation</u>

We record compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions and include such costs in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).

<u>Self-Insurance Reserves</u>

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

We are self-insured, through deductibles and retentions, up to certain levels for losses under our insurance programs. We accrue for these liabilities based on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date. We regularly review the estimates of asserted and unasserted claims and provide for losses through reserves. We obtain actuarial reviews to evaluate the reasonableness of internal estimates for losses related to workers' compensation, auto liability and group medical on an annual basis.

<u>Restructuring expenses</u>

Restructuring expenses in our consolidated statement of operations during the Current Period, Successor Period and Predecessor Period were $6.4 million, $23.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Restructuring expenses in the Current Period represent costs associated with our Transformation Project, as well as legal and other professional expenses primarily related to certain tax and shareholder distribution matters. Restructuring expenses in the Successor Period and Predecessor Period primarily relate to professional fees and separation costs related to former executives and personnel. Additionally, during the Successor Period, we incurred shut down costs of $8.9 million at certain locations in our Well Services segment. These shut down costs include the write-down of inventory of $6.5 million which is reflected in cost of sales and the severance of personnel and other shut down costs of $2.4 million which is primarily reflected in cost of services.

<u>Recently Issued Accounting Standards</u>

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses (the "CECL") model. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments at the time the asset is originated or acquired. This update will apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions. The new standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2023. We have concluded that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848). This update provides an optional expedient and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates ("IBORs") and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, which clarifies that certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As our credit agreement allows for alternative benchmark rates to be applied to any borrowings, we do not expect the cessation of LIBOR to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

**(2) Fresh Start Accounting**

In connection with the emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, we qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Emergence Date because (1) the holders of our then existing common shares received less than 50 percent of our new common shares outstanding upon emergence and (2) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of $1,456.8 million was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims of $2,076.1 million.

<u>Reorganization Value</u>

In accordance with ASC 852, upon adoption of fresh start accounting, the reorganization value derived from the enterprise value as disclosed in the Plan was allocated to our assets and liabilities based on their fair values (except for deferred income taxes) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 805 - Business Combinations (ASC 805) and FASB ASC Topic No. 820 - Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). The amount of deferred income taxes recorded due to the fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities was determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740 - Income Taxes.

The reorganization value represents the fair value of our total assets before considering certain liabilities and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for our assets immediately after restructuring. The Plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court estimated a range of enterprise values between $710.0 million and $880.0 million.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the reorganization value of our assets that has been allocated to our individual assets as of the Emergence Date (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Emergence Date |
| Selected Enterprise Value within Bankruptcy Court Range | $729918 |
| Plus: Cash and cash equivalents | 172768 |
| Plus: Liabilities excluding the decommissioning liabilities | 380496 |
| Plus: Decommissioning liabilities, including decommissioning liabilities classified as held for sale | 173622 |
| Reorganization Value | $1456804 |

---

Management determined the enterprise and corresponding equity value using various valuation methods, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF"), (ii) comparable company analysis and (iii) precedent transaction analysis. The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approaches.

In order to estimate the enterprise value using the DCF analysis approach, management's estimated future cash flow projections, plus a terminal value which was calculated by applying a multiple based on our internal rate of return ("IRR") of 17.6% and a perpetuity growth rate of 3.0% to the terminal year's projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). These estimated future cash flows were then discounted to an assumed present value using our estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which is represented by our IRR.

The comparable company analysis provides an estimate of our value relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operating and financial characteristics, by which a range of EBITDA multiples of the comparable companies was then applied to management's projected EBITDA to derive an estimated enterprise value.

Precedent transaction analysis provides an estimate of enterprise value based on recent sale transactions of similar companies, by deriving the implied EBITDA multiple of those transactions, based on sales prices, which was then applied to management's projected EBITDA.

The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving the future financial results set forth in our valuations, as well as the realization of certain other assumptions. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.

<u>Valuation Process</u>

The reorganization value was allocated to the Successor's reporting segments using the discounted cash flow approach. The reorganization value was then allocated to the Successor's identifiable assets and liabilities using the fair value principle as contemplated in ASC 820. The specific approach, or approaches, used to allocate reorganization value by asset class are noted below.

**Inventory**

The fair value of the inventory was determined by using both a cost approach and income approach. Inventory was segregated into raw materials, spare parts, work in process ("WIP"), and finished goods. Fair value of raw materials and spare parts inventory were determined using the cost approach. Fair value of finished goods and WIP inventory were determined by using the net realizable value approach. The fair value of finished goods was measured using an estimate of the costs to sell or dispose of the inventory plus a reasonable profit allowance on those efforts adjusted for holding costs. The fair value of WIP was measured using an estimate of the costs to complete and sell or consume the inventory plus a reasonable profit allowance on those efforts adjusted for holding costs.

**Property, Plant and Equipment**

Real Property

The fair values of real property locations were estimated using the sales comparison (market) approach and cost approach. As part of the valuation process, information was obtained on the Successor's current usage, building type, year built, and cost history for all properties valued. In determining the fair value and remaining useful life for real property assets, functional and economic obsolescence was considered and taken as an adjustment at the asset level.

Tangible Assets Excluding Real Property and Oil and Gas Assets

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

The fair values of our tangible assets were calculated using either the cost or market approach. For most tangible asset categories, a cost approach was utilized relying on purchase year, historic costs, and industry/equipment based trend factors to determine replacement cost new of the assets. Readily available market transaction data was used and adjusted for current market conditions for asset categories with active secondary markets such as heavy trucks and computer equipment. In both approaches, consideration was made for the effects of physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence in determining both estimates of fair value and the remaining useful lives of the assets.

Oil and Gas Assets

The oil and gas assets were valued using estimates of the reserve volumes and associated income data based on escalated price and cost parameters.

Internally-Developed Software

Internally-developed software was valued using the cost approach in which a replacement cost was estimated based on the software developer time, materials, and other supporting services required to replicate the software.

**Decommissioning Liabilities**

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 410 – Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations ("ASC 410"), the decommissioning liabilities associated with our oil and gas assets were valued using the income approach. Estimates of future retirement costs were adjusted for an estimated inflation rate over the expected time period prior to retirement and future cash outflows were discounted by a credit adjusted risk-free rate. We changed our presentation to consolidate the decommissioning liabilities previously recorded to other long-term liabilities into decommissioning liabilities.

**Intangible Assets**

Intangible assets were identified apart from goodwill using the guidance provided in ASC 805. Intangible assets that were identified as either separable or arose from contract or other legal rights were valued using either the cost or income approaches. The principal intangible assets identified were trademarks and patents. Trademarks and patents were valued using the relief from royalty method in which the subject intangible asset is valued by reference to the amount of royalty income it could generate if it was licensed in an arm's length transaction to a third party.

**Lease Liabilities and Right of Use Assets**

The fair value of lease liabilities was measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments, as if the lease were a new lease as of the Emergence Date. The Successor used its incremental borrowing rate of 5.3% commensurate with the Successor's capital structure as the discount rate in determining the present value of the remaining lease payments.

<u>Consolidated Balance Sheet</u>

The adjustments included in the following fresh start consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2021 reflect the effects of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and executed by the Successor on the Emergence Date (reflected in the column Reorganization Adjustments), and fair value and other required accounting adjustments resulting from the adoption of fresh start accounting (reflected in the column Fresh Start Adjustments). The explanatory notes provide additional information with regard to the adjustments recorded, the methods used to determine the fair values and significant assumptions.

The Equity Rights Offering generated $963 thousand in proceeds used to settle $952 thousand in Cash Opt-in Noteholder claims. The Equity Rights Offering shares were offered at a price of $1.31/share to Cash Opt-out Noteholders. As such, the Equity Rights Offering shares generated the $963 thousand in cash proceeds from the share issuance as well as an implied discount to the Cash Opt-in claimants of $32.2 million, recorded as a loss on share issuance in reorganization items, net. The loss on the Equity Rights Offering share issuance is offset by the gain on share issuance of $32.2 million implied by the issuance of shares to settle Cash Opt-out Noteholder claims at a value of $46.82/share compared to the reorganization value implied share price of $45.14/share.

**(4) Inventory**

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We apply net realizable value and obsolescence to the gross value of inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in the services provided to our customers. The components of inventory balances are as follows (in thousands):

---

Finished goods inventory includes component parts awaiting assembly of approximately $20.7 million and $15.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**(5) Decommissioning Liability**

We account for our decommissioning liability under ASC 410 – Asset Retirement Obligations. Our decommissioning liability is associated with our oil and gas property and includes costs related to the plugging of wells, decommissioning of the platform and related equipment and site restoration. We review the adequacy of our decommissioning liability whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially.

During 2022, we revised our decommissioning program as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•During the second quarter of 2022, we undertook an initiative to alter our decommissioning program, whereby we intend to convert the platform into an artificial reef ("reef-in-place"). The reef-in-place program would involve severing the top portion of the structure at a permitted navigation depth and placing the severed structure on the sea floor next to the base of the remaining structure. Converting to a reef-in-place program reduced the estimated costs associated with decommissioning the wells and platform, and also impacted the time required to complete the decommissioning activities.

The reduction in cost estimates under a reef-in-place program resulted in a reduction in the carrying value of our decommissioning liability and related note receivable as discussed in Note 6 - Note Receivable, as well as impacted the carrying value of our oil and gas producing assets, such that as of June 30, 2022, our decommissioning liability was reduced by $53.0 million and the related note receivable was increased by $2.6 million. In accordance with ASC 410, the carrying value of our oil and gas producing assets was reduced by $38.2 million, which represented the net book value of our oil and gas assets at June 30, 2022. In connection with these changes, we recognized a gain of approximately $17.4 million, which is included in other (gains) and losses, net in our statement of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•During the fourth quarter of 2022, information received from the operator of our oil and gas property raised concerns regarding the economic viability of the remaining well recompletions, which caused us to modify our planned well completions schedule. This change resulted in the acceleration of the estimated remaining life expectancy of the oil and gas assets. Concurrent with this ongoing analysis, the operator of our oil and gas property received a notice from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement regarding idle wells, which was aligned with the actions we were initiating. In response, in December 2022, we revised our estimates relating to the timing and the cost of decommissioning the wells.

We now estimate all decommissioning activities, including the decommissioning of the platform, to be completed by the second quarter of 2030. Previously, we had expected final decommissioning activities to be completed by the second quarter of 2031. Due to the upward revision in decommissioning costs for the wells, and an acceleration in timing to decommission the wells and platform, at December 31, 2022, our decommissioning liability was increased by $13.8 million, the related note receivable was increased by $2.7 million and we recorded an asset retirement cost asset of $11.1 million.

The following table presents the activity during 2022 impacting our decommissioning liability, the related note receivable and oil and gas producing assets:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Balance at December 31, 2021 | 2022 Activity<br>(1) | Reef-in-place Adjustment | Year End 2022 Adjustment | Balance at December 31, 2022 |
| Decommissioning Liability | $190380 | $9500 | $(53028) | $13819 | $160671 |
| Note Receivable | 60588 | 3823 | 2581 | 2687 | 69679 |

---

Accretion expense associated with our decommissioning liability during the Current Period, the Successor Period, the Predecessor Period and the Prior Period was $9.5 million was $9.3 million and $0.5 million, and $6.5 million, respectively.

**(6) Note Receivable**

Our note receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of oil and gas property for costs associated with abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, we invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities.

As discussed above, changes in estimates regarding the timing and the cost of decommissioning our oil and gas property under a reef-in-place program during the second quarter of 2022 resulted in a $2.6 million increase in the carrying value of our note receivable.

As discussed above, due to revisions in estimates in both costs and timing of decommissioning the wells associated with our oil and gas property, at December 31, 2022, the related note receivable was increased by $2.7 million.

Due to the reduction in estimated costs under the reef-in-place program and revisions to the timing of the expected completion of the platform decommissioning activities, the gross amount of the seller's obligation is $105.2 million. The carrying value of the note receivable totaled $69.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

The discount on the notes receivable, which is currently based on an effective interest rate of 5.6%, is amortized to interest income over the expected timing of the completion of the decommissioning activities. Interest receivable is considered paid in kind and is compounded into the carrying amount of the note.

We recorded non-cash interest income related to the note receivable of $3.8 million, $3.9 million, $0.4 million and $4.5 million related to our notes receivable during the Current Period, the Successor Period, the Predecessor Period and the Prior Period, respectively. Interest income is included in other reconciling items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**(7) Leases**

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. All of our leases are operating leases and are included in ROU assets, accounts payable and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

Our operating leases are primarily for real estate, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset. Total operating lease expense was as follows (in thousands):

| Accumulated depreciation and depletion | (236690) | (185642) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Property, plant and equipment, net | $282376 | $356274 |

---

We had $7.1 million and $7.2 million of leasehold improvements at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the asset or the term of the lease using the straight line method. Oil and gas producing assets include capitalized asset retirement costs associated with our oil and gas property.

Depreciation and depletion expense associated with our property, plant and equipment for the Current Period was $87.6 million. Depreciation and depletion expense, excluding depreciation related to assets held for sale, for the year ended for the Successor Period, Predecessor Period and the Prior Period was $209.7 million, $7.8 million and $108.0 million, respectively. See Note 17 - Discontinued Operations for a discussion of depreciation expense related to our discontinued operations.

As discussed above, depreciation expense in the Successor Period was impacted by the valuation process under fresh start accounting. Certain fully depreciated assets were assigned an estimated fair value of approximately $197.5 million and a remaining useful life of less than 36 months which significantly increased the amount of depreciation expense recorded in the Successor Period. Depreciation expense for these previously fully depreciated assets was $167.5 million for the Successor Period.

Gains and losses on disposals of assets are recognized within other (gains) and losses, net in our statement of operations. Prior to the Emergence Date, we recognized gains and losses on the disposal of assets within general and administrative expenses.

During the second quarter of 2022, changes in estimates regarding the timing and cost of decommissioning our oil and gas property under a reef-in-place program impacted the carrying value of our oil and gas producing assets. In accordance with ASC 410, the carrying value of our oil and gas producing assets, which included capitalized oil and gas reserves and capitalized asset retirement costs, was reduced by $38.2 million, which represented the net book value of all of our oil and gas assets at June 30, 2022.

As discussed above, due to revisions in estimates in both costs and timing of decommissioning the wells associated with our oil and gas property, at December 31, 2022, we recorded capitalized asset retirement costs of $11.1 million.

**(9) Debt** 

**Credit Facility**

On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the Plan, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers named therein providing for a $120.0 million asset-based secured revolving Credit Facility, all of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Credit Facility"). The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar.

As of December 31, 2022, the borrowing base under the Credit Facility was approximately $120.0 million and we had $34.9 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022.

**(10) Stock-Based Compensation Plans** 

**2021 Management Incentive Plan** 

Our Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") have approved and adopted our Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"), which provides for the grant of share-based and cash-based awards and, in connection therewith, the issuance from time to time of up to 1,999,869 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share. To date, grants under the MIP have been in the form of shares of Class B common stock ("RSAs"), restricted stock units which will be settled in Class B common stock upon the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions ("RSUs") and performance stock units which will be settled in Class B common stock upon the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions ("PSUs").

The RSAs vest over a period of three years, subject to earlier vesting and forfeiture on terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement. RSUs granted in 2022 generally vest in three equal annual installments over the three-year period, subject generally to continued employment and the other terms and conditions set forth in the forms of the RSU award agreements. RSUs granted in 2021 vest in full in the first quarter of 2023, subject generally to continued employment and the other terms and conditions set forth in the forms of the RSU award agreements. PSUs may be earned between 25% and 100% of the target award based on achievement of share price goals set forth in the forms of the PSU award agreements and will vest to the extent that share price goals are achieved based on the terms and conditions set forth in the forms of the PSU award agreements.

The following sets forth issuances under the MIP:

In June 2021, we issued 76,269 RSAs with a grant date fair value of $39.53 per share. During the Current Period, 42,389 RSAs vested and 3,904 RSAs were forfeited and placed in treasury. The unamortized estimated grant date fair value as of December 31, 2022 was approximately $0.8 million.

During the third quarter of 2021, we granted 50,596 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $39.53 per share. During the Current Period, 10,437 shares vested and 2,212 shares were forfeited. The unamortized estimated grant date fair value as of December 31, 2022 was immaterial. All RSUs granted in 2021 are scheduled to vest in the first quarter of 2023.

In March 2022, we granted 72,050 RSUs and 288,199 PSUs which was intended to satisfy stock awards for the next three years. Additional grants may be issued for new hires and promotions. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was estimated to be $58.80 per share. The unamortized estimated grant date fair value as of December 31, 2022 was $3.1 million.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

In July 2022, we granted 88,215 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $58.80 per share. The unamortized estimated grant date fair value as of December 31, 2022 was $4.2 million.

During the Current Period we recognized $4.8 million in compensation expense associated with grants of RSAs and RSUs. We are currently not amortizing the PSUs as we have not concluded that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

During the Predecessor Period and the Successor Period, we recognized $0.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in compensation cost associated with grants of restricted stock and RSUs.

As a result of the consummation of the Plan, restricted stock units issued prior to the Emergence Date were canceled for zero consideration. Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor Period include $0.9 million in costs associated with the cancellation of the pre-Emergence outstanding restricted stock units.

**Liability-Classified Compensation**

<u>401(k)</u>

We maintain a defined contribution profit sharing plan for employees who have satisfied minimum service requirements. Employees may contribute up to 75% of their eligible earnings to the plan subject to the contribution limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. We provide a nondiscretionary match of 100% of an employee's contributions to the plan, up to 4% of the employee's salary. We made contributions of $3.1 million, $2.6 million, $0.4 million and $6.2 million during December 31, 2022, the Successor Period, the Predecessor Period and in 2020, respectively.

<u>Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan</u>

We have a supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP"). The SERP provides retirement benefits to our executive officers and certain other designated key employees. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, and all contributions under the plan are unfunded credits to a notional account maintained for each participant. Prior to January 1, 2020, under the SERP, we made annual contributions to a retirement account based on age and years of service. The participants in the plan received contributions ranging from 5% to 35% of salary and annual cash bonus, which totaled $0 million during 2020. We made payments to eligible participants in the SERP of $1.7 million and $3.4 million during 2022 and the Successor Period, respectively. No payments were made during the Predecessor Period or during 2020.

<u>Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan</u>

The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan ("NQDC Plan") provides an income deferral opportunity for executive officers and certain senior managers who qualified for participation. Participants in the NQDC Plan could make an advance election each year to defer portions of their base salary, bonus and other compensation. Payments made to participants are based on their enrollment elections and plan balances. No deferrals were elected for 2022. We have not had enrollment periods for the NQDC since 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a worthless stock deduction in the U.S. related to deductible outside basis differences in certain domestic subsidiaries, which is the primary driver of the increase in federal deferred tax. We executed a transaction through which a worthless stock deduction of approximately $495.2 million was deducted for income tax purposes resulting in an estimated net tax benefit of $104.0 million. Consistent with our policy, we evaluated the deduction and believe it will more likely than not be sustained on its technical merits and have recognized its benefits accordingly.

During the Current Period, U.S. rental income and foreign tax from foreign jurisdictions increased. Additionally, income in a few of our foreign operations improved. In these jurisdictions, namely Brazil, we benefitted from the release of a valuation allowance due to a pattern of sustained profitability such that it is viewed as more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), a tax relief and spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allows corporations with net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to elect to carryback those losses for a period of five years and relaxes the limitation for business interest deductions for 2019 and 2020. Under the provisions of the CARES Act, we received a refund of $30.5 million in July 2020 related to the carryback of the 2018 net operating loss and received a refund of $8.2 million in February 2021 related to the carryback of the 2019 net operating loss.

Effective in tax year 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current period and requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize them over five or fifteen years pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 174. The legislation did not have a material impact in our business, operating results, and financial condition

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total tax provision differs from the tax computed using the standard tax rate primarily due to the worthless stock deduction of $104.0 million previously discussed. In addition, due to increased profitability, we released several valuation allowances including a $14.5 million related our U.S. foreign tax credit ("FTC") carryforward and $8.7 million related to Brazil deferred tax assets primarily consisting of NOL carryforward.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we evaluated the tax impact resulting from our emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on February 2, 2021 and the Plan. As part of the debt restructuring, a substantial portion of our pre-petition debt was extinguished. Absent an exception, a taxpayer recognizes cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI") upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. A taxpayer in bankruptcy may exclude CODI from taxable income but must first reduce its tax attributes by the amount of CODI realized. When the debt was extinguished, we realized CODI for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $433.0 million. The CODI exclusion resulted in a partial elimination of our federal net operating loss carryforwards, as well as a partial reduction in tax basis in assets, primarily property, plant and equipment. The CODI also eliminated $19.2 million of state NOL deferred tax asset which resulted in a corresponding reduction in the state valuation allowance.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 provides an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. We experienced an ownership change on February 2, 2021, as defined in Section 382, due to the Plan. The limitation under Section 382 is based on the value of the corporation as of the Emergence Date. Currently, we do not expect the Section 382 limitation to impact our ability to use U.S. NOLs and FTC carryover tax attributes due to qualification for relief under Section 382.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on enacted tax laws and rates currently in effect in each of the jurisdictions in which we have operations. In recording deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those deferred income tax assets would be deductible. We consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations for this determination.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets for the U.S. FTC carryovers is dependent on the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the FTC carryforward period. We previously considered FTC credit carryforwards to be unrealizable primarily due to our cumulative history of losses in the U.S. and Sec. 382 tax attribute utilization limits resulting from bankruptcy. During 2022, we determined there is now enough positive evidence to realize a portion of the tax benefit related to U.S. FTC carryforwards. This is due to a pattern of sustained profitability in the U.S. since we emerged from bankruptcy and capacity relief under Section 382. The amount of valuation allowance released recognizes the FTC deferred tax assets we estimate will offset U.S. taxes in the next 2-3 years before expiration. We have $40.0 million of U.S. FTC deferred tax assets that continue to have a valuation allowance against them, including $5.2 million in 2022 FTCs that carryforward up to 10 years. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of U.S. FTCs in future years.

A valuation allowance has been placed on the state net operating losses. Similarly, with the exception of Brazil, the deferred tax assets on the majority of our foreign operation jurisdictions continue to require a valuation allowance.

The amount of our net deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted if projections of future taxable income are reduced or objective negative evidence in the form of a three-year cumulative loss is present or both. Should we no longer have a level of sustained profitability, excluding non-recurring charges, we will have to rely more on our future projections of taxable income to determine if we have an adequate source of taxable income for the realization of our deferred tax assets, namely NOL, interest limitation, and tax credit carryforwards. This may result in the need to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of our deferred tax assets.

The amount of U.S. consolidated net operating losses available as of December 31, 2022, after attribute reduction, is estimated to be approximately $367.9 million, which are available to reduce future taxable income, of which $20.4 million have a 20-year carryforward period and expire after 2036 and $347.5 million have an indefinite carryforward but are limited to offsetting 80% of taxable income each year. At December 31, 2022, we also had various state net operating loss carryforwards with expiration dates starting in 2022. The state net operating losses net deferred tax asset of $19.6 million has a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2022, we also had a U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward of $59.7 million with expiration dates from 2024 to 2032. A partial valuation

allowance was setup against the foreign tax credit carryforward in the amount of $40.0 million, which will more-likely-than-not expire before being utilized.

We have not provided additional US income tax expense on foreign earnings of foreign affiliates. At December 31, 2022 our foreign subsidiaries had an overall accumulated deficit in earnings. We are repatriating from foreign subsidiaries and the distributions are not subject to incremental US taxation because they represent either 1) return of basis where there is not current or accumulated earnings and profits, 2) previously taxed earnings and profits or 3) foreign earnings exempt from incremental US tax. We file income tax returns in the U.S., including federal and various state filings, and certain foreign jurisdictions. The number of years that are open under the statute of limitations and subject to audit varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. We remain subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years after 2018.

---

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $14.0 million as of December 31, 2022, and $15.0 million as of December 31, 2021, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $9.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations. It is our policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The amounts above includes accrued interest and penalties of $7.2 million and $6.9 million for periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**(12) Earnings per Share**

Our common equity consists of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (the "Common Stock").

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of Common Stock outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive Common Stock, such as restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance-based units calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table presents the reconciliation between the weighted average number of shares for basic and diluted earnings per share.

**(13) Segment Information**

Our reportable segments are Rentals and Well Services.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

<u>Business Segments</u>

The products and service offerings of Rentals are comprised of value-added engineering and design services, rental of premium drill strings, tubing, landing strings, completion tubulars and handling accessories, manufacturing and rental of bottom hole assemblies, and rentals of accommodation units.

The products and service offerings of Well Services are comprised of risk management, well control and training solutions, hydraulic workover and snubbing services, engineering and manufacturing of premium sand control tools, and onshore international production services. The Well Services segment also includes the operations of our offshore oil and gas property.

We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on income or loss from operations. The segment measure is calculated as segment revenues less segment operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and other (gains) and losses, net. We use this segment measure to evaluate our reportable segments as it is the measure that is most consistent with how we organize and manage our business operations. Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, including salaries and benefits for corporate employees.

Summarized financial information for our segments is as follows (in thousands):

<u>Geographic Information</u>

We operate in the U.S. and in various other countries throughout the world. Our international operations are primarily focused in Latin America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and North Africa regions. We attribute revenue to various countries based on the location where services are performed or the destination of the drilling products or equipment sold or rented. See Note 3 - Revenues for a detail of our domestic and international revenues. Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and are attributed to various countries based on the physical location of the asset at the end of a period.

**(14) Fair Value Measurements**

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Our non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy depending on the type of investment. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed payments under the non-qualified deferred compensation plans. As a result of the consummation of the Plan, restricted stock units issued prior to the Fresh Start Accounting Date under our stock incentive plans were canceled for zero consideration.

Investment in equity securities related to our ownership in common stock of Select Energy Services, Inc. ("Select"). This investment was reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices which are readily determinable, which represents a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities. We historically utilized unadjusted quoted prices in the market for measuring the fair value of debt.

**(15) Other Income (Expense)**

Other income (expense) primarily relate to re-measurement gains and losses associated with our foreign currencies and realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investment in common stock of Select.

Losses on foreign currencies during the Current Period, the Successor Period, the Predecessor Period and the Prior Period were $12.6 million, $8.8 million, $2.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Losses on foreign currencies during the Current Period include an expense of $2.7 million which represents a correction of an immaterial error relating to a period prior to our emergence from bankruptcy. Gains and losses on foreign currencies are primarily related to our operations in Brazil and Argentina.

During the Current Period, we disposed of 4.1 million shares of Select for $34.7 million, and we recognized gains totaling $8.9 million in connection with these transactions. During the Successor Period, we disposed of 0.7 million shares of Select for $4.1 million, and we recognized gains totaling $0.4 million. Unrealized gains during the Successor Period were $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2022, all shares of Select have been disposed.

**(16) Contingencies**

Due to the nature of our business, we are involved, from time to time, in various routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims or actions, including those commercial in nature, regarding our business activities in the ordinary course of business. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. Management is of the opinion that none of the claims and actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A subsidiary of ours is involved in legal proceedings with two former employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product paid for by the subsidiary and developed while they worked for the subsidiary. Those former employees have filed separate two lawsuits in the Harris County District Court, in which the former employees allege that the royalty payments they had invoiced at 25% and for which they received payments in the invoiced amounts since 2010, instead should have been paid at a rate of 50%. The first lawsuit (the "First Case"), filed during the second quarter of 2018, sought to recover alleged unpaid royalties from May 2014 through May 2019. The second lawsuit (the "Second Case") was filed in the same district court against the same subsidiary of ours, brought the same claims, and sought damages post-judgment from the First Case until the discontinuation of the leasing of the product at issue by the subsidiary at the end of 2019.

In both lawsuits, the district court ruled against our subsidiary and entered final judgments, which we fully secured with a bond. We strongly disagreed with the result and believed the district court committed several legal errors that should be corrected by reversal of each of the judgments. Accordingly, we pursued separate appeals in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals

In August 2022, in the appeal from the judgment in the First Case, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals (the "Court of Appeals") ruled in favor of our subsidiary on the plaintiffs' claims for a combined 50% royalty. The Court of Appeals ruled that because the plaintiffs invoiced our subsidiary for a combined 25% royalty and accepted payments in that amount every month since 2010, the plaintiffs forever waived any claim to any royalties in any amount other than a combined 25% royalty, net of expenses. The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment in the First Case and remanded to the district court to assess damages, if any, owed for royalties between January 2018 and May 2019.

The appeal from the judgment in the Second Case was abated by the Fourteenth Court of Appeals pending the resolution of the appeal in the First Case.

On October 7, 2022, our subsidiary reached a confidential settlement in both the First Case and the Second Case with the plaintiffs to resolve any and all disputes between them. At the request of both parties in the appeals from both the First Case and the Second Case, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals has reversed the respective judgments entered by the district court. The district court has now entered take-nothing judgments in favor of our subsidiary in both cases and has released the supersedeas bonds filed by our subsidiary in both cases. Accordingly, both the First Case and the Second Case are fully and finally resolved.

Our Indian subsidiary, SES Energy Services India Pvt. Ltd ("SES India"), entered into a contract with an Indian oil and gas company to provide an offshore vessel for well stimulation. A dispute arose over the performability of the terms of the contract. The contract was terminated by the customer. Any remaining contingency under this contract was terminated in connection with SES India entering into bankruptcy during 2022.

In October 2022, we had a hearing before the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals (the "Tax Board") in relation to a dispute arising in April 2019 pertaining to a use tax assessment from 2016 as a result of the construction of a vessel by one of our subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, the assessment, including interest, totaled $26.9 million. While we are confident that the assessment is legally insupportable, if the Tax Board upholds the assessment we will be responsible for payment of the full assessment within thirty days of the decision. Although we are unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, we have reserved an amount we believe to be adequate to cover any final assessment levied by the state.

**<u>Item 9</u><u>. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure</u>**

None.

**<u>Item 9A</u><u>. Controls and Procedures</u>**

<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022 were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in 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, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See disclosure of a material weakness below under "Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting."

<u>Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based upon criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management determined that as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2022, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as we did not design and maintain effective controls to review the reasonableness of assumptions determined by, and accuracy of calculations performed by, our external tax service providers. This material weakness resulted in an adjustment to deferred tax benefit and income tax benefit that was recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements of income tax related balances that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements which would not be prevented or detected.

<u>Remediation Plan for Material Weakness</u>

In order to address the material weakness described above, management has implemented a remediation plan that includes implementing enhancements to our controls around reviewing the reasonableness of assumptions determined by, and the accuracy of calculations performed by, our external tax service providers.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

We believe the measures will remediate the material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address the material weakness.

<u>Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**<u>Item 11. Executive Compensation</u>**

**Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") describes our executive compensation philosophy and practices applicable to named executive officers' compensation for 2022. For 2022, our named executive officers ("NEOs") were:

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

|:---|:---|
| Name | Offices Held |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Michael Y. McGovern | Executive Chairman, Interim Chief Executive Officer until January 20, 2022 |

---

On January 20, 2022, Brian K. Moore, our former Executive Vice President, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and a member of the Board in accordance with the Stockholders' Agreement. As a result of Mr. Moore's appointment, Mr. McGovern no longer performs the functions of our principal executive officer but remains with us as Executive Chairman of the Board.

**Executive Compensation Philosophy**

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") is responsible for designing, implementing and administering our executive compensation program. The primary objective of that program is to attract and retain key personnel. Our Compensation Committee is guided by several key principles to leverage the Company's ability to motivate key talent. Our Compensation Committee believes compensation should:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Be performance driven

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Be competitive with a comparable peer group and responsive to a rapidly changing landscape

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Balance short term and long-term objectives

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Focus on the retention of high performing executives

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Support our business strategies and initiatives

**Compensation Practices in 2022**

The CEO developed recommendations for compensation practices in 2022 that were subject to Compensation Committee approval. The CEO's recommendations are based on his evaluations of the performance of the executives and are based on several factors, including individual performance, business results, and general market information. The Compensation Committee on its own reviews the performance and compensation of the CEO and approves his level of compensation.

In 2022, compensation practices were aligned with the Company to address a number of realities, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Comprehensive initiative to transform the company with significant associated restructuring efforts

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Need to retain key staff to facilitate numerous divestitures and related asset sales

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Rising market pay across energy service sector and inflationary pressures

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The lack of publicly traded equity to use as compensation currency

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The need to stabilize and align the executive management team subsequent to initial post-emergence MIP grants and the appointment of a CEO in January 2022 through long term incentive awards

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Engagement of Evercore as financial advisor regarding potential strategic alternatives, including transformational merger or divestiture transactions

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews and considers the effectiveness of the Company's existing compensation programs and modifies such programs or develops new programs to better effectuate the Compensation Committee's compensation objectives. In addition, the Compensation Committee annually evaluates with its independent compensation consultant whether the program is balanced in terms of base pay and incentives, both short-term and long-term.

In 2022, the Compensation Committee engaged Lyons, Benenson & Company Inc. ("LB&Co") as its independent executive compensation consultant, as it did in 2021. LB&Co is a leading independent compensation consulting firm that advises and counsels boards of directors and their compensation and governance committees on matters related to executive compensation, board compensation and corporate governance. They work collaboratively with directors and top management to develop compensation solutions that are supportive of each client's goals, objectives and long-term plans.

LB&Co advises the Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters and assists in developing and implementing our executive compensation program. LB&Co also informs the Compensation Committee on current trends to ensure the Compensation Committee is aware of evolving market conditions.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

Brian K. Moore, who served as a member of the Compensation Committee in 2022 was an officer or employee of the Company, and Michael Y. McGovern, who served as a member of our Compensation Committee in 2022 served as interim Chief Executive Officer for part of 2022 and is currently the Company's Executive Chairman.

None of our executive officers serves or served during the last completed fiscal year as a director or member of the compensation committee of another organization one of whose executive officers serves or served at the same time as a member of either the Board or the Compensation Committee.

In 2022, LB&Co was directed to compile an analysis of compensation for our key executives. Included in this analysis was a review of our "Peer Group". In establishing the Peer Group, the Compensation Committee sought to include companies in similar industries, with applicable revenue scope, similar business characteristics and adequate executive compensation disclosures. For 2022, the Peer Group was made up of the following companies for comparison:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Expro Group Holdings N.V.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Newpark Resources, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Oceaneering International, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Oil States International, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ProFrac Holding Corp.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ProPetro Holding Corp.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•RPC, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Select Energy Services, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Weatherford International plc

Competitive data was drawn from both the Peer Group and publicly available survey data in order to analyze where the Company's compensation stands relative to the market in terms of base salary, short-term and long-term incentive targets and the resulting total estimated direct compensation ("TEDC"). Relative to the peer group analyses by position, all of Superior's executives' TEDC register at or below the median for the Peer Group and generally within the range of competitive practice. Target pay may vary from the median based on the executive's industry experience, company experience and performance in his or her role, internal pay equity among our executives and other factors the Compensation Committee considers relevant, for example the lack of liquidity in the Company's Class B common stock. Overall, the Compensation Committee believes the compensation program of the Company's executives to be competitive.

The Change of Control Severance Plan (the "Severance Plan") was terminated in favor of individual employment agreements for 2022 in consideration of the current size of the Company, the number of participants in the Severance Plan, and to further shareholder value. The former participants in the Severance Plan waived their right to receive any payments or benefits under the Severance Plan.

**Components of Executive Compensation**

During 2022, the issuance of equity based compensation and new employment agreements continued to evolve our executive compensation program in a multi-step process. The initial post-emergence long-term incentive awards in 2021 were to candidates who were heavily engaged in the stabilization and transition of the Company from bankruptcy. The 2022 awards, in conjunction with new employment agreements, identified the future executive leadership, including the CEO, CFO and business unit leaders, of the Company and were intended to provide stability for the organization and alignment with the transformation initiatives and performance objectives for 2022.

The 2022 equity-based compensation program is designed to provide alignment with the executive team and shareholders and is based on key considerations, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Multi-year award over a three year period in lieu of customary annual awards

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•20% (other than Mr. McGovern) came in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") vesting ratably over three years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•80% (other than Mr. McGovern) came in the form of performance stock units ("PSUs").

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

oThe PSUs are subject to termination and forfeiture for no consideration in the event no strategic transaction occurs prior to March 23, 2025, as further specified in the applicable form of PSU award agreement.

oThe PSUs vest only upon transactions that achieve share price hurdles as measured in connection with the consummation of specified transactions.

The three main components of the executive compensation program for 2022 were base salary, annual incentive plan ("AIP") awards, and long-term incentive awards under the MIP (as defined below).

**Base Salary**

The primary role of the base salary element of the executive compensation program during 2022 was to compensate executives for the experience, education, personal qualities and other qualifications that were key for their specific roles as well as their level of responsibility. The Compensation Committee monitors and adjusts salaries for our NEOs over time as necessary to remain competitive with the base salaries of executive officers of members of our Peer Group. For additional salary information, see the 2022 Summary Compensation Table below.

On March 28, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved employment agreements for each of Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye and Ms. Toups, which superseded and replaced their existing employment agreements with the Company, except for Mr. Delahoussaye who was not a party to an employment agreement with the Company, and in Mr. Moore's case also superseded his binding term sheet with the Company disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 24, 2022. The new employment agreements were deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee due to marketplace compensation trends, the Company's strategic positioning and plans, and to account for each NEO's experience in their current role and to provide equitable compensation relationships among internal peers.

Below is more information on each NEO's base salary:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Name | 2021 Base Salary at December 31, 2021 | 2022 Base Salary |
| Mr. McGovern | $1203904 | $750000 |
| Mr. Moore | 450000 | 750000 |
| Mr. Spexarth | 425000 | 425000 |
| Mr. Delahoussaye | 375000 | 375000 |
| Mr. Ellis | 260000 | 325000 |
| Ms. Toups | 350000 | 350000 |

---

Mr. McGovern was paid $1,203,904 in 2021 for his services as Chairman and principal executive officer. Mr. Moore's annual base salary was increased from $450,000 to $750,000 in 2022 given his promotion to, and increased responsibility as, CEO.

The base salaries for each of Messrs. Spexarth and Delahoussaye and Ms. Toups remained the same in 2022 as in 2021 given their respective positions and roles remained unchanged. On July 18, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved an employment agreement for Mr. Ellis. In connection therewith and as a result of his promotion, Mr. Ellis' salary was increased from $260,000 to $325,000.

On July 18, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved an executive chairman agreement for Michael Y. McGovern, the Company's Executive Chairman (the "Executive Chairman Agreement"). The Executive Chairman Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $750,000. Mr. McGovern's annual base salary is subject to adjustment (upward or downward) if Mr. McGovern's duties or commitments change during the term of the Executive Chairman Agreement. In addition, Mr. McGovern's Executive Chairman Agreement provided for a cash lump sum payment in an amount equal to $288,306 to account for the annual base salary Mr. McGovern would have been paid since assuming the position of Executive Chairman until the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement, less any payments received from the Company since assuming the position of Executive Chairman until the effective date. Mr. McGovern's base salary recognizes his executive seniority and tenure and the Company's efforts to retain talent necessary for success.

The target AIP opportunity for each NEO is 70% of base salary, with the exception of Mr. Moore, for which it is 100% and Mr. McGovern, who does not participate in the AIP.

**2022 Executive Annual Incentive Plan**

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

The purpose of the AIP is to reward executives for achievement of annual financial objectives. Furthermore, the AIP is part of a comprehensive compensation program that aligns pay to performance by making a substantial portion of total executive compensation variable, or "at-risk."

Although the Compensation Committee sets annual incentive target levels that result in target-level payouts when performance objectives are met (subject to the target annual incentive award opportunity provided for in Messrs. Moore's and Spexarth's employment agreements), our program may pay out below or above target, contingent upon the Company's performance relative to the Compensation Committee and Board approved goals, which are set annually based on our operating plan.

At the beginning of each year, our Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending for approval by our Board quantifiable corporate performance objectives and the relative weighting of those metrics. At the end of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company's performance results against these objectives. The 2022 AIP awards were approved by the Compensation Committee in March 2023 based upon metrics set at the beginning of 2022.

**AIP Performance Goals for Executives**

Under the AIP, our NEOs (other than Mr. McGovern) are eligible to earn a payout based on a target percentage of their base salary. Given the activity in the oil and gas industry, the Compensation Committee also established what it believed was an appropriate EBITDA target of $162.0 million for 2022 given the evolving market landscape. This performance goal was designed to help achieve a balance between stockholder returns and executive compensation and tie a significant portion of compensation directly to our operating and financial performance.

The AIP is designed to focus management's attention on key financial metrics that drive our performance.

For 2022, 100% of the total payout of the AIP was based on the achievement of the foregoing EBITDA target, and the maximum payout to each eligible NEO (other than Mr. Moore) under the AIP was capped at 140% and at 200% for Mr. Moore.

As noted previously, the Compensation Committee determined to use EBITDA as the primary financial metric for the AIP. As a financial metric, EBITDA is closely linked to cash flow and encourages management to focus on improving efficiency from existing operations. The financial metric provides for threshold, target and maximum payout levels, as a percentage of salary, based upon the achievement of the EBITDA target.

The possible total award payout levels for 2022, stated as a percentage of each NEO's base salary, are set forth in the table below. As Executive Chairman, Mr. McGovern does not participate in the AIP.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| NEO | Threshold | Target | Maximum |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. McGovern | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Moore | 20% | 100% | 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Spexarth | 14% | 70% | 140% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Delahoussaye | 14% | 70% | 140% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Ellis | 14% | 70% | 140% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Toups | 14% | 70% | 140% |

---

Based on the Company's EBITDA results all NEOs, including the CEO, received the maximum bonus available under the AIP for 2022, which was paid in 2023.

**Retention Bonus**

In March 2022, Mr. Ellis was granted a $182,000 retention bonus pursuant to a long-term cash incentive award agreement, which provides for payment of the retention bonus in three substantially equal installments in March 2022, 2023 and 2024, subject to Mr. Ellis' continued employment with the Company through each applicable payment date. Mr. Ellis was paid the first installment in an amount equal to $60,667 in March 2022.

**Management Incentive Plan**

On June 1, 2021, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved and adopted our Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"). The purpose of the MIP is to provide a means through which the Company and its affiliates may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby directors, officers and employees (and prospective directors, officers and employees) can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, or be paid incentive compensation, which may (but need not) be measured by reference to the value

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

of a share of common stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and its affiliates and aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.

Pursuant to the MIP, the Compensation Committee may grant awards with respect to up to 1,999,869 shares of our Class B common stock.

**2022 Management Incentive Plan Awards**

On March 28, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved new forms of RSU award agreements and forms of PSU award agreements under the MIP. On July 18, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved an RSU award agreement under the MIP for Mr. McGovern and granted RSUs and PSUs to Mr. Ellis in connection with his promotion pursuant to the forms of award agreements.

The RSUs provide the right to receive a share of Class B common stock of the Company, subject to a service-based vesting requirement. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments over a three-year period, subject to earlier vesting upon certain transactions and, generally, continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The PSUs provide the right to receive a share of Class B common stock of the Company, subject to performance-based vesting requirements, as well as a service-based vesting requirement. Subject to an NEOs continued employment through the applicable vesting date, NEOs can earn 25% to 100% of the target PSU award based generally on achievement of share price hurdles set forth in the PSU award agreements following the completion of certain specified corporate transactions that occur prior to March 23, 2025. If such vesting conditions do not occur prior to such date, the PSUs will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration. As of December 31, 2022, no such specified corporate transactions had occurred. Accordingly, none of the PSUs granted pursuant to the PSU award agreements are vested. On November 16, 2022, in connection with its declaration of a special cash dividend of $12.45 per share of the Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively, the "Common Stock"), the share price hurdles provided in the PSU award agreements were proportionally adjusted downward pursuant to the terms of the award agreements.

The mix of equity awards for 2022 was driven by several factors, including U.S. tax consequences and an effort to encourage appropriate risk taking but discourage excessive risk taking. RSUs are widely used in the energy industry to strengthen the link between stockholder and employee interests, while supporting long-term retention goals and encouraging executives to build and maintain meaningful levels of ownership in the Company. The RSUs align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders by delivering payouts in the form of Class B common stock of the Company, subject generally to the NEOs' continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

Mr. McGovern received 100% of his long-term incentive awards in the form of RSUs and was not granted PSUs in recognition of the responsibility inherent in his role as Executive Chairman. In addition, in connection entering into the Executive Chairman Agreement, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved accelerated vesting with respect to 15,642 outstanding restricted shares of our Class B common stock granted to Mr. McGovern pursuant to a restricted stock award agreement, dated June 1, 2021, by and between us and Mr. McGovern. The RSU grant to Mr. McGovern and accelerated vesting of his restricted stock award align Mr. McGovern's interests with those of the shareholders through the ownership of equity.

PSUs help encourage and reward the creation of long-term value for the Company by aligning leadership's incentives with those of the shareholders, given the PSU vesting schedule is subject to, in addition to the NEOs' continued employment through the applicable vesting date, achievement of share price hurdles as measured in connection with the consummation of specified corporate transactions. 80% of our NEOs' (other than Mr. McGovern) equity-based compensation granted in 2022 came in the form of PSUs, which further supports our commitment to paying for performance through achievement of share price hurdles set forth in the PSU award agreements following the completion of certain specified corporate transactions that occur prior to March 23, 2025.

In 2022, we granted equity-based awards in the form of RSUs and PSUs to Mr. Moore, Mr. Spexarth, Mr. Delahoussaye, Ms. Toups and Mr. Ellis, and RSUs to Mr. McGovern, with respect to the following numbers of units (and corresponding shares of Class B common stock of the Company) per award:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| NEO | RSUs | PSUs |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. McGovern | 79375 | - |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Moore | 45000 | 180000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Spexarth | 10300 | 41199 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Delahoussaye | 8750 | 35000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Ellis | 8840 | 35360 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Toups | 8000 | 32000 |

---

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

The Compensation Committee considered the competitive data when setting the MIP award values, and consistent with private company practice, made upfront awards covering a multi-year period. Award values were set at the levels the Compensation Committee believed appropriate representing each individual NEO's position within the Company and contribution to the accomplishment of our strategic objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity awards are the strongest link between executive compensation and stockholder interests and therefore comprise the largest component of our executive compensation program. The following table shows the 2022 MIP grant date award values:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| NEO | Total Value of 2022 RSU Awards | Total Value of 2022 PSU Awards | Total Grant Date Value<br>of 2022<br>MIP Awards |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. McGovern | $4667250 | $- | $4667250 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Moore | 2646000 | 7200000 | 9846000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Spexarth | 605640 | 1647960 | 2253600 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Toups | 470400 | 1280000 | 1750400 |

**2022 Dividend Equivalent Payments**

On November 16, 2022, in connection with its declaration of a special cash dividend of $12.45 per share of the Company's Common Stock, the Board determined to make dividend equivalent payments to each holder of RSUs that were granted under the Company's MIP. The Company paid each such RSU holder, including each of our NEOs, $12.45 per outstanding RSU (less any applicable withholdings) at the same time as the special dividend was paid on the Company's Common Stock. The Compensation Committee believed that making the dividend equivalent payments to the RSU holders at the same time as special dividends were received by investors allowed for the continued alignment of management and shareholder interests.

Below is the value of the dividend equivalent paid to each NEO:

---

|:---|:---|

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Salary amounts shown in this column represent actual salary earned during the year, reported as gross earnings (i.e., gross amounts before taxes and applicable payroll deductions). Mr. McGovern's annualized base salary beginning on July 18, 2022 was $750,000. His actual base salary paid for 2022, as shown in this column, reflects the fact that pursuant to the Executive Chairman Agreement, he received a cash lump sum payment in an amount equal to $288,306 to account for the annual base salary Mr. McGovern would have been paid since assuming the position of Executive Chairman on January 20, 2022 until the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement on July 18, 2022, less any payments received from the Company since assuming the position of Executive Chairman on January 20, 2022 until the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement on July 18, 2022 . Mr. McGovern received a $125,000 payment in February 2022 for his services. Mr. Moore's annualized base salary beginning on January 20, 2022 after being appointed CEO was $750,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The amounts reported in this column represent the grant date fair value of the RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock awards that we granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020. RSUs and restricted stock awards were calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The PSUs were deemed to have a grant value of $40.00 for compensation purposes and are subject to termination and forfeiture for no consideration in the event no specified strategic transaction occurs prior to March 23, 2025. For a further discussion of share-based awards, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.

date fair value of the RSU awards. For 2020, the amount includes certain amounts paid under the Key Employee Retention Program (the "KERP"). On September 28, 2020, the Board approved the implementation of the KERP, which was designed to retain key employees in their current roles over the near term while providing them with financial stability. KERP payments were made in October 2020 to Mr. Moore in an amount equal to $941,109 and to Mr. Spexarth in an amount equal to $614,250. The foregoing KERP payments resulted in the surrender of all unvested long-term incentive plan grants (other than the 2018 and 2019 PSUs) made by us and an agreement to forego receipt of any annual bonus for 2020.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)For the PSU awards, in order for any PSUs to vest in connection with an applicable corporate transaction a certain share price must be achieved. The threshold level for the PSUs is based upon vesting at 25% of each of the PSU awards. Target refers to the number of PSUs that will vest if the highest share price is achieved in connection with an applicable corporate transaction. The NEOs are not eligible to earn more than the target award under the PSU award agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The RSU and PSU figures reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSU and PSU awards granted in 2022, the RSUs were calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the PSUs were deemed to have a grant value of $40.00 for compensation purposes and are subject to termination and forfeiture for no consideration in the event no strategic transaction occurs prior to March 23, 2025.

**Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table**

On March 28, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved (i) new forms of RSU award agreements and forms of PSU award agreements under the MIP and (ii) grants of RSUs and PSUs to Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye and Ms. Toups. On July 18, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved the grant of RSUs under the MIP to Messrs. McGovern and Ellis and PSUs under the MIP to Mr. Ellis. Awards made under the forms of RSU award agreements generally vest in three equal annual installments over a three-year period ending on the third anniversary of January 20, 2022, subject to earlier vesting in connection with certain specified corporate transactions (as set forth in the forms of PSU award agreements) and the grantee's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, and forfeiture on terms and conditions set forth in the forms of RSU award agreements. As disclosed above, the RSU and PSU awards were intended to cover a multi-year period (with the PSUs comprising 80 percent of the total equity award (except with respect to Mr. McGovern)), and the PSUs are subject to termination and forfeiture for no consideration in the event no strategic transaction occurs prior to March 23, 2025.

Awards made under the forms of PSU award agreements may be earned between 25% and 100% of the target award based on achievement of share price hurdles set forth in the forms of PSU award agreements and will vest to the extent that share price goals are achieved following the completion of certain specified corporate transactions that occur prior to March 23, 2025, subject to the grantee's continued employment through the applicable vesting date and earlier forfeiture on terms and conditions set forth in the forms of PSU award agreements.

On March 28, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved employment agreements for each of Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye and Ms. Toups, which superseded and replaced their existing employment agreements with the Company,

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

except for Mr. Delahoussaye who was not a party to an employment agreement with the Company, and in Mr. Moore's case also superseded his binding term sheet with the Company disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 24, 2022. Mr. Moore's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $750,000 and a target annual incentive award opportunity of 100% of his annual base salary. Mr. Spexarth's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $425,000 and a target annual incentive award opportunity of 70% of his annual base salary. Messrs. Delahoussaye's and Ellis' and Ms. Toups' employment agreements provide for an annual base salary no lower than his or her current annual base salary as of the effective date of the applicable employment agreement. Please refer to the CD&A for information on the NEOs annual base salaries for 2022. On July 18, 2022, the Board of Directors and the compensation committee approved an executive chairman agreement for Michael Y. McGovern, the Company's Executive Chairman. Mr. McGovern's Executive Chairman Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $750,000, with an initial one-year term that automatically extends for an additional one-year term on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement unless either party gives 60 days' prior written notice of non-renewal before expiration of the then-current term. Mr. McGovern's annual base salary is subject to adjustment (upward or downward) if Mr. McGovern's duties or commitments change during the term of the Executive Chairman Agreement. Further, in connection with his Executive Chairman Agreement, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of Mr. McGovern's restricted shares of Class B common stock granted under the MIP in 2021. In addition, Mr. McGovern's Executive Chairman Agreement provides for a cash lump sum payment to made within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement in an amount equal to $288,306 to account for the annual base salary Mr. McGovern would have been paid since assuming the position of Executive Chairman until the effective date less any payments received from the Company since assuming such position until the effective date of the Executive Chairman Agreement.

**Retirement Benefit Programs**

**Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan**

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) provided retirement benefits to executive officers and certain other designated key employees. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan and all contributions under the SERP are in the form of credits to a notional account maintained for each participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Contributions: No SERP contributions were made in 2022 and no contributions are expected to be made in the future. SERP contributions have been discontinued since 2019.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Vesting: A participant vests in his SERP account upon the earliest to occur of: (i) attaining six years of service (including service prior to the adoption of the SERP), upon which amounts in the SERP account vest in 20% annual increments provided the participant remains employed;

oattaining age 65; (iii) a change in control; (iv) becoming disabled; or (v) termination of the participant's employment without cause. Regardless of their vested status, participants forfeit all benefits under the SERP if they are terminated for cause or, if within 36 months after a termination without cause, engage in certain competitive activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Earnings: Following the end of each plan year, SERP credits were adjusted to reflect earnings on the average daily balance of the notional accounts during the year, at a rate of interest equal to our after-tax long-term borrowing rate for the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Payout: Upon separation from service, participants are paid their vested SERP accounts in a lump sum or installments, as elected by the participant, commencing seven months after separation from service.

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan**

The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (NQDC Plan) provides an income deferral opportunity for executive officers and certain senior managers who qualify for participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Contributions: Participants in the NQDC Plan could make an advance election each year to defer up to 75% of base salary, 100% of their annual bonus and 50% of the cash payout value of any PSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Vesting: Participants are immediately 100% vested in their benefits under the NQDC Plan. No deferrals were elected for 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Earnings: Participants chose from a variety of investment options to invest their deferrals over the deferral period. Participants earn a rate of return on their NQDC Plan account that approximates the rate of return that would be provided by certain specified mutual funds that participants may designate from a list of available funds selected by the NQDC Plan administrative committee.

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Payout: Benefits are paid in either a lump-sum or in equal annual installments over a 2- to 15-year period, as elected by the participant. Generally, benefits that are due as a result of a termination of service are paid or commence in the seventh month after termination. However, only participants who are at least age 55 with at least five years of service at termination are eligible to receive or continue receiving installment distributions following termination.

We have not had enrollment periods for the NQDC since 2019.

**Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control**

Because our NEOs became NEOs at different times and under different circumstances, the compensation and benefits awarded to our individual NEOs in the event of termination or a change in control varies. Below is a description of the employment agreements and other arrangements in place with each of our NEOs.

**Employment Agreements**. Mr. Moore's and Mr. Spexarth's employment agreements each have an initial three-year term that automatically extends for an additional one-year term unless either party gives 60 days' prior written notice of non-renewal before expiration of the then-current term. Mr. Delahoussaye's and Ms. Toups's employment agreements each have an initial two-year term that automatically extends for an additional one-year term unless either party gives 60 days' prior written notice of non-renewal before expiration of the then-current term.

Pursuant to their employment agreements, Mr. Moore and Mr. Spexarth consented to the termination of the Change of Control Severance Plan and waived their right to receive the severance payments and benefits thereunder. None of our other NEOs participated in the Change of Control Severance Plan, which automatically terminated upon obtaining the requisite consents from the participants.

Mr. Ellis' employment agreement has an initial two-year term that automatically extends for an additional one-year term unless either party gives 60 days' prior written notice of non-renewal before expiration of the then-current term.

**Executive Chairman Agreement for Mr. McGovern**. Mr. McGovern's Executive Chairman Agreement has an initial one-year term with an automatic extension for an additional one-year term on the first anniversary of the effective date and each subsequent anniversary thereafter, unless either the Company or Mr. McGovern gives 60 days' prior written notice of non-renewal before the next anniversary of the effective date.

The termination and change in control payments and benefits provided for in the employment agreements and Executive Chairman Agreement for our NEOs are described below.

Termination without a Change in Control

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Michael Y. McGovern**.

target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, his actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; and (3) Company-paid healthcare continuation benefits for up to 12 months for himself and his spouse and family.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Bryan M. Ellis**. If we terminate Mr. Ellis without "cause," as such term is defined in his employment agreement, and such termination is not in connection with a change in control, then he will be entitled to the following: (1) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his annual salary plus target annual bonus for the year of termination, (2) a pro-rated target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, his actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; and (3) Company-paid healthcare continuation benefits for up to 12 months for himself and his spouse and family.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Deidre D. Toups**. If we terminate Ms. Toups without "cause," as such term is defined in her employment agreement, and such termination is not in connection with a change in control, then she will be entitled to the following: (1) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of her annual salary plus target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, her actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; (2) a pro-rated portion of her target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, her actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; and (3) Company-paid healthcare continuation benefits for up to 12 months for herself and her spouse and family.

Termination without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Michael J. Delahoussaye**. If we terminate Mr. Delahoussaye without cause or he terminates his employment for "good reason," as such term is defined in his employment agreement, and such termination is within 6 months before or 24 months after a "change in control," as such term is defined in his employment agreement, then he will be entitled to the following: (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of his annual salary plus target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, his actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; (2) a pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, his actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; and (3) Company-paid healthcare continuation benefits for up to 24 months for himself and his spouse and family.

If we terminate Ms. Toups without cause or she terminates her employment for "good reason," as such term is defined in her employment agreement, and such termination is within 6 months before or 24 months after a "change in control," as such term is defined in her employment agreement, then she will be entitled to the following: (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of her annual salary plus target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, her actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; (2) a pro-rated portion of her target annual bonus for the year of termination or, if no target annual bonus has been set, her actual bonus received for the previous calendar year; and (3) Company-paid healthcare continuation benefits for up to 24 months for herself and her spouse and family.

The payments and benefits described above are subject to the NEO's timely execution of a release of claims in favor of us. Each employment agreement includes an indefinite confidentiality and protection of information covenant and a mutual one-year non-disparagement covenant. Upon termination of employment by us for cause or resignation without good reason, each NEO will be bound by a non-competition and non-solicitation covenant for one year after the date of their termination.

**Equity Awards**

2021 RSUs and Restricted Stock Awards

With respect to the RSUs and restricted stock awards granted in 2021, upon the termination of an NEO's employment by the Company without "cause" (as defined in the MIP), by the NEO for "good reason" (defined in the MIP to mean the NEO's written agreement relating to the employment or services of such NEO, if any) or due to the NEO's "disability" (as defined in the MIP), the NEO will vest

------

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

in a pro rata portion of the NEO's unvested restricted stock and RSUs. With respect to the RSUs, such pro rata portion will be determined by dividing the number of days elapsed since the grant date through the NEO's termination date by the number of days from the grant date through the vesting date. With respect to Mr. Spexarth's restricted stock award, such pro rata portion will be determined by dividing the number of days that elapsed from the vesting date immediately preceding Mr. Spexarth's termination date (or, if none, the grant date) through the termination date by 365. In addition, an NEO's outstanding restricted stock and RSU awards will become 100% vested upon his or her death or the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the MIP) (subject to the NEO's continued employment immediately prior to such change in control).

2022 RSUs and PSUs

The RSUs and PSUs granted to Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye, Ellis and Ms. Toups do not provide for any accelerated vesting in the event of a termination of the NEO's employment. With respect to the RSUs granted to Mr. McGovern, in the event that Mr. McGovern's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" (excluding due to death or disability (as defined in the Executive Chairman Agreement)) or by Mr. McGovern for "good reason" (as defined in the Executive Chairman Agreement), subject to Mr. McGovern's timely execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with his restrictive covenants, the tranche of RSUs scheduled to vest on the next scheduled vesting date following the date of termination (i.e., one third (1/3rd)) will vest. In addition, Mr. McGovern's RSU award will become 100% vested upon the occurrence of a change in control, subject to Mr. McGovern's continued employment as of the date of such change in control.

With respect to the PSU award agreement entered into with Mr. Delahoussaye, in the event of a sale of Workstrings International (a "Workstrings Sale"), subject to Mr. Delahoussaye's continued employment through the consummation of the Workstrings Sale, 100% of Mr. Delahoussaye's PSUs and RSUs will vest notwithstanding the share price hurdles set forth in the PSU award agreement and, with respect to the PSU award agreement entered into with Ms. Toups, in the event of a sale of Specialized Rental and Services Division (a "SRSD Sale"), subject to Ms. Toups continued employment through the consummation of a SRSD Sale, 100% of the RSUs and PSUs will vest notwithstanding the share price hurdles set forth in the PSU award agreement. With respect to the PSU award agreement entered into with Mr. Ellis, in the event of a sale of Wild Well Control and International Snubbing Services (a "Wild Well Sale"), subject to Mr. Ellis' continued employment through the consummation of a Wild Well Sale, 100% of the RSUs and PSUs will vest notwithstanding the share price hurdles set forth in the PSU award agreement.

The RSU awards granted to the NEOs (other than Mr. McGovern) do not automatically vest upon a change in control. The RSU awards granted to the NEOs (other than Mr. McGovern) will become 100% vested upon the occurrence of an "applicable corporate transaction" in which the threshold share price hurdle is achieved pursuant to the NEO's PSU award agreement, or earlier in the event of a Workstrings Sale with respect to Mr. Delahoussaye's RSUs, a SRSD Sale with respect to Ms. Toups' RSUs, or a Wild Well Sale with respect to Mr. Ellis' RSUs.

We do not provide excise tax gross ups under any employment agreement or equity award discussed above. Each of the employment agreements discussed above provides for a "best net" approach in the event that severance and other payments and benefits result in "excess parachute payments" under Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. Under a "best net" approach, the NEO's payments and benefits will be reduced to avoid triggering excise tax if the reduction would result in a greater after-tax amount for the NEO compared to the amount he or she would receive net of the excise tax if no reduction were made.

Except as otherwise noted, the following table quantifies the potential payments to our NEOs under their employment arrangements and equity awards discussed above and the SERP and the NQDC Plan, as described above, for various scenarios involving a change in control or termination of employment of each of our NEOs in such position at the end of the year, assuming a December 31, 2022 termination date and where applicable, using the estimated fair market value as of December 31, 2022 of $56.22 per share of our Class B common stock. Given that a change in control would likely constitute an "applicable corporate transaction" (as defined in the PSU award agreement) and based on the fact that the estimated fair market value as of December 31, 2022 of $56.22 per share of our Class B common stock is greater than the threshold share price hurdle, we quantified in the table below 100% vesting of RSUs granted in 2022 to Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye, Ellis and Ms. Toups, and 100% vesting of the PSUs granted in 2022 to Messrs. Moore, Spexarth, Delahoussaye, Ellis and Ms. Toups. Excluded are benefits provided to all employees, such as accrued vacation and benefits provided by third parties under our life and other insurance policies. Also excluded are benefits our NEOs would receive upon termination of employment under our 401(k) plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The PSU calculations reflect full acceleration of the PSUs upon a change in control multiplied by a price per Class B share of $56.22. For purposes of the table below, we have assumed full acceleration of the PSUs as a result of share price hurdles being tied to the value of the Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock The Company estimates that the Class B common stock valuation at December 31, 2022 was lower than the Class A common stock due to the illiquidity of the Class B common stock and inability to elect directors.

**CEO Pay Ratio**

The table below sets forth comparative information regarding the 2022 annual total compensation of Mr. Moore, who filled the position of our CEO beginning on January 20, 2022 and was CEO on the median employee identification date, and the 2022 annual total compensation of the median employee.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CEO Pay Ratio | CEO Pay Ratio |
| CEO 2022 Annual Total Compensation | $12668131 |
| Median Employee 2022 Annual Total Compensation | 44722 |

---

Developments during 2022 required a review of the analysis to determine the median employee for comparison to determine the CEO pay ratio. The methodology used in identifying the 2022 median employee was substantially similar to prior period reviews. As we did for 2021, for 2022, no international employees were excluded under the 5% de minimis exception. We consistently applied the compensation measure of total taxable compensation which included base salary, overtime, bonuses paid in 2022, long-term incentives granted in 2022 and all other types of taxable compensation. In the analysis, all part-time and full-time U.S. and non-U.S. employees who were employed by us as of December 31, 2022 were included.

Approximately 2,198 part-time and full-time U.S. and non-U.S. employees (other than Mr. Moore but including Mr. McGovern), who were employed as of December 31, 2022, were included. December 31, 2022 was selected as the date to identify our median compensated employee. Given that we have global operations and employees located in many locations, pay and reporting systems and pay practices vary depending on the region. As a result, assumptions, adjustments and estimates were consistently applied to identify the annual total taxable compensation of the median compensated employee. International compensation was converted to USD for comparison purposes using conversion rates as of December 31, 2022. Based on the methodology described above, the median employee is an hourly operations employee who has worked for us for approximately a year and a half.

In 2022, the median employee earned an annual total compensation of $44,722. The 2022 annual total compensation for Mr. Moore was $12,668,131. This amount equals Mr. Moore's total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table plus an additional amount that reflects the annualization of his increased base salary for 2022, consistent with the applicable guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the pay ratio between our CEO's annual total compensation and the median employee's annual total compensation was 283:1 in 2022.

Mr. Moore's 2022 equity-compensation awards were intended to cover a multi-year period and neither Mr. Moore nor any other NEO is expected to receive equity-based compensation in 2023 or 2024. Also, Mr. Moore's PSUs had a deemed value of $7,200,000 and, as further discussed in our CD&A, Mr. Moore's PSUs will only vest upon achievement of certain share price hurdles in connection with the consummation certain specified transactions that occur prior to March 23, 2025 or such PSUs will terminate for no consideration.

**2022 Director Compensation**

In 2022, the non-management directors received:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a retainer of $75,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an additional fee of $20,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an additional fee of $15,000 or the chair of the Compensation Committee;

The table below summarizes the compensation for the year ended 2022 for non-management directors (regardless of when earned). All non-management directors were reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and Board committee meetings.

[<u>**Table of Contents**</u>](#table_of_contents)

There were no additional equity awards to directors in 2022 given the multi-year vesting schedule of the 2021 grants which were intended to compensate the directors for a three year period of service. Director compensation is structured to attract and retain experienced and qualified directors. The compensation reflects the time commitment of the role as well as the qualifications of the directors.

Directors and Officers ("D&O") insurance insures our individual directors and officers against certain losses that they are legally required to bear as a result of their actions while performing duties on our behalf. Our D&O insurance policy does not break out the premium for directors versus officers and, therefore, a dollar amount cannot be assigned to the coverage provided for individual directors.

Shares were issued under our MIP, discussed above. The Compensation Committee designates participants in the plan, determines the types of cash and share based awards authorized by the plan to be issued to participants, and determines the terms of the individual forms of awards granted under the MIP, among other things. Pursuant to the MIP, the Compensation Committee is authorized to grant awards with respect to an aggregate of 1,999,869 shares of Class B Common Stock.

**Principal Stockholders**

The following table shows the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by holders as of March 1, 2023 known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as well as our directors and executive officers.

The information in the table is based on information provided to us by the entities listed below as well as our transfer agent. These stockholders acquired their shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We believe, based on information supplied by the stockholders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the stockholders have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by them.
