Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On August 17, 2021, Select Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Agua Libre Midstream, LLC and other water-related assets, operations and assumed liabilities (together “Agua Libre”) from Basic Energy Services, Inc. (“Basic”), for consideration of $15 million in cash and 902,593 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to standard post-closing adjustments. The Asset Purchase Agreement constitutes a “stalking horse” bid in a sale process being conducted under Section 363 of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As such, the Company’s acquisition of Agua Libre remains subject to approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division, and is subject to court-approved bidding procedures, including the potential receipt of competing offers for Agua Libre and certain other of Basic’s assets and operations at auction. It is expected that the sale process will be completed during the second half of 2021.

 

The shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as sales by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act is based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the shares will be an isolated private transaction by the Company which will not involve a public offering, (b) there will be only one recipient and (c) representations from Basic to support such exemption, including with respect to Basic’s status as an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act).

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement. A copy of this press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
