On June 16, 2021, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Select Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board appointed Gayle Burleson as an independent director. Concurrently with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Burleson was appointed to both the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.

The Board has determined that Ms. Burleson meets the independence requirements under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

There are no understandings or arrangements between Ms. Burleson and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Burleson was selected to serve as a director of the Board. There are no relationships between Ms. Burleson and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. Burleson will receive the standard compensation paid by the Company to its non-employee directors, as described under “Director Compensation” in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2021. Additionally, the Company purchases and maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for, and provides indemnification to, each member of the Board.

On June 16, 2021, the Company, with the approval of the Board, entered into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Burleson (the “Indemnification Agreement”) in connection with her role as a director of the Company. The Indemnification Agreement requires the Company to indemnify Ms. Burleson to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against liability that may arise by reason of her service to the Company and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against her as to which she could be indemnified. The Indemnification Agreement is in substantially the form referenced as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.

On June 16, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing Ms. Burleson’s appointment to the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filings made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
