U.S. WELL SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

U.S. Well Services, Inc. (the “Company”“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), f/k/a Matlin & Partners Acquisition Corp (“MPAC”), is a Houston, Texas-based technology-focused oilfield service company focused on hydraulic fracturingelectric powered pressure pumping services for oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies in the United States. The process of hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation involves pumping a pressurized stream of fracturing fluid—typically a mixture of water, chemicals, and proppant—into a well casing or tubing in order to cause the underground mineral formation to fracture or crack. Fractures release trapped hydrocarbon particles and provide a conductive channel for the oil or natural gas to flow freely to the wellbore for collection. The propping agent or proppant becomes lodged in the cracks created by the hydraulic fracturingstimulation process, “propping” them open to facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the well.

The Company’s fleets consist of all-electric, mobile hydraulic fracturing unitswell stimulation equipment and other auxiliary heavy equipment to perform fracturingstimulation services. The Company has two designs for hydraulic fracturing units: (1) Conventional Fleets, which are powered by diesel fuel and utilize traditional internal combustion engines, transmissions, and radiators and (2)Company's Clean Fleet®, which replaceswell stimulation fleets replace the traditional engines, transmissions, and radiators used in conventional diesel fleets with electric motors powered by electricity generated by natural gas-fueled turbine generators.

Reverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on May 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a specified range. On September 30, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-3.5 reverse split of its Class A common stock. All owners of record as of September 30, 2021 received one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock in exchange for three and one half outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of shares of Class A common stock the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation or on the par value per share of the Class A common stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest.subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and valuation of property and equipment and intangiblelong-lived assets, impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets, Level 2 inputs used inestimates of fair value estimation of warrant liabilities, term loans,loan, and the assumptions used in our Black-Scholesconvertible senior notes, and Monte Carlo option pricing models associated with the valuation of share-based compensation and certain equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements, or are reserved for a specific purpose, and not readily available for immediate or general use are recorded in restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet represents cash transferred into a trust account to support our workers’ compensation obligations and cash held for use in approved capital expenditures related to approved fleet expansion in amounts of $0.5 million$729 and a nominal amount,$6, respectively, as of September 30, 2020,2021, and $0.5 million$513 and $7.1 million,$1,056, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.  2020.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory consists of proppant, chemicals, and other consumable materials and supplies used in our high-pressure hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out cost basis. All inventories are purchased for use by the Company in the delivery of its services with no inventory being sold separately to outside parties. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly and write-downs for obsolete inventory are recorded based on our forecast of the inventory item demand in the near future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $2.4 million of reserves for losses on inventory obsolescence primarily related to conventional diesel parts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded write-downs of $1.5 million related to obsolete inventory parts. As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had established inventory reserves of $0.4$1.3 million and $0.6$0.3 million, respectively, for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. Amounts spent for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related asset, are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company separately identifies and accounts for certain critical components of its hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation units including the engine, transmission, and pump, which requires us to separately estimate the useful lives of these components. For our other service equipment, we do not separately identify and track depreciation of specific original components. When we replace components of these assets, we typically estimate the net book values of the components that are retired, which are based primarily upon their replacement costs, their ages and their original estimated useful lives.

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

In the first quarter of 2020, our review of impairment of long-lived assets (refer to “Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets”) necessitated a review of the useful lives of our property and equipment. Current trends in hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping equipment operating conditions, such as increasing treating pressures and higher pumping rates, along with the increase in daily pumping time are shortening the useful life of certain critical components we use. We determined that the average useful life of fluid ends and fuel injectors is nowwas less than one year, resultingwhich resulted in our determination that costs associated with the replacement of these components willwould no longer be capitalized, but instead expensed as they are used in operations. This change in accounting estimate was made effective in March 2020 and accounted for prospectively.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less expected selling costs (“estimated selling price”) with a loss recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated selling price. The classification is applicable at the date upon which the sale of assets is probable and the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition. Upon determining that an asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and reports the assets, if material, in assets held for sale in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

When the net carrying value of an asset designated as held for sale exceeds its estimated fair value, which we estimate based on the estimated selling price, we recognize the difference as an impairment charge. When an impairment charge is recorded, subsequent changes to the estimated selling price of assets held for sale are recorded as gains or losses to the condensed consolidated statements of operations wherein the recognition of subsequent gains is limited to the cumulative loss previously recognized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded 0 impairment charges on its held for sale assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Judgements regarding indicators of potential impairment are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.

As of December 31 of each year, or as required, the Company performs an impairment analysis of goodwill. The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether conditions exist that indicate it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, and if such conditions are identified, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. The Company may also elect to perform a single step quantitative analysis in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value, which the Company estimates using a guideline public company method, a form of the market approach. The guideline public company method utilizedutilizes the trading multiples of similarly traded public companies as they relatedrelate to the Company’s operating metrics. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and only limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity is evaluated pursuant to ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

The Company issued public warrants and private placement warrants (collectively, the “public and private placement warrants”) in connection with its initial public offering in November 2018. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to certain institutional investors in connection with the Company’s private placement of Series A Preferred Stock on May 24, 2019 (“Series A warrants,” and together with the public and private placement warrants, the “warrants”). All our outstanding warrants are recognized as liabilities. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value upon issuance and adjust the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The public warrants are valued using their quoted market price since they are publicly traded and thus had an observable market price. The private placement warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Series A warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Convertible Notes and Convertible Preferred Stock

When the Company issues convertible notes or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480 and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible note instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815-15. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

If a conversion feature does not meet the conditions to be separated and accounted for as an embedded derivative liability, the Company then determines whether the conversion feature is “beneficial”. A conversion feature would be considered beneficial if the conversion feature is “in the money” when the host instrument is issued or, under certain circumstances, at a later time. The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) for convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.

If the convertible note contains a BCF, the amount of the proceeds allocated to the BCF reduces the balance of the convertible note, creating a discount which is amortized over the note’s term to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

When a convertible preferred stock contains a BCF, after allocating the proceeds to the BCF, the resulting discount is either amortized as deemed dividends over the period beginning when the convertible preferred stock is issued up to the earliest date the conversion feature may be exercised, or if the conversion feature is immediately exercisable, the discount is fully amortized at the date of issuance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019:2020:

Senior Secured Term Loan. The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan is $193.9$160.7 million and approximates carrying value$198.0 million as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019, respectively.2020, respectively, based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Senior Secured Term Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equipment financing. The carrying value of the equipment financing approximates fair value as its terms are consistent with and comparable to current market rates as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Warrants. The Company’s warrants are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value. See “Note 8 – Warrant Liabilities” for fair value measurements associated with the Company’s warrants.

Convertible Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes is $96.8 million, based on an option pricing framework using a lattice model. If the Convertible Senior Notes were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the customer’s ability to benefit from the services rendered in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, typically measured inby the number of stages completed or the number of pumping days a fleet is available to pump for a customer in a month. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, and the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice has been determined. A portion of the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved.


The Company has elected to use the “as invoiced” practical expedient to recognize revenue based upon the amount it has a right to invoice upon the completion of each performance obligation per the terms of the contract.

Patent License Sales. On June 24, 2021, the Company issued a Convertible Senior Note (See “Note 11 – Convertible Senior Notes”) convertible into a patent license agreement. On June 29, 2021, the holder exercised its right to convert the Convertible Senior Note in full and the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), which provides the licensee a five-year option to purchase up to 20 licenses to build and operate electric well stimulation fleets using the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology (the “licenses”). Upon entry into the License Agreement, the Company sold 3 licenses to build and operate 3 electric well stimulation fleets, each valued at $7.5 million.

The sales of the right to use the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology is a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes the income associated with the patent license sales at the point in time when the Company satisfies its performance obligation by granting the purchaser the right to use the patented Clean Fleet® technology and transfer of control has occurred. The patent license sales are recognized as other income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their outstanding balances adjusted for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by analyzing the payment history and credit worthiness of each customer. Receivable balances are charged off when they are considered uncollectible by management. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded as income when received.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment of Claim Agreement (the “Assignment”) with a third-party, whereby the Company transferred to the third-party all right, title, and interest in the Company’s claim in the amount of $14.5 million in connection with a customer’s bankruptcy. The Assignment was for consideration of $2.5 million, which the Company held a reservereceived on April 26, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company wrote-off the related receivables of $12.0 million, which was the unrealized amount of the claim assigned and was previously reserved for doubtful accountsin full as of $9.0 million and a nominal amount asDecember 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The reserve was recorded due to growing uncertainty as to collectability of billed amounts from customers weakened by2021, the recent collapse in crude oil prices. We are continuing to work with our customers on collecting these receivables.Company did 0t record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk

The concentration of our customers in the oil and natural gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.

Income Taxes

The Company, under ASC 740,Accounting for Income Taxes, uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaN amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2020.2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Except as discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Amended Annual Report, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

In January 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): SimplifyingCustomer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, requiring a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the Testguidance in ASC 350-40 in determining the requirements for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the second step of the previous two-step quantitative test of goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, the quantitative test consists of a single step in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit is comparedcapitalizing implementation costs incurred to its fair value. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the amount of the impairment would be limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance does not affect the existing option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine whether the quantitative impairment test is necessary.develop or obtain internal-use-software. The new guidance will be effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal yearsannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021; however, early2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s impairment analysis did not result in any impairment of goodwill.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company performs an impairment analysis related to goodwill as of December 31 of each year, or when the Company identifies certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair value of the goodwill below its carrying amount.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed an impairment analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets. This impairment analysis was triggered by the sudden and drastic decline in oil prices in March 2020 and the corresponding decrease in the Company’s stock price, operating results and revised forecasts. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test utilizing the single-step approach to compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was determined using a guideline public company method, a form of the market approach. The guideline public company method utilized the trading multiples of similarly traded public companies as they related to our operating metrics. Based on the impairment test, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired as the reporting unit’s carrying value, after accounting for the impairment charges of long-lived assets, did not exceed the reporting unit’s fair value.

As of September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

As discussed above,2021, the Company identified a triggering event in the first quarter of 2020 and performed a quantitative impairment test on long-lived assets. The expected present value method, a form of the income approach, was utilized to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. This method is based on expected cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate, which reflects the weighted average cost of capital of similarly traded public companies. As a result of the impairment test performed, the Company recorded in the first quarter of 2020 an impairment charge of $7.2 million to reduce the carrying value of intangible assets from $21.4 million to $14.2 million, representing its fair value on the date of impairment.

Senior Secured Term Loan

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company made principal and interest payments amounting to $2.5 million and $24.3 million, respectively. The interest payments consisted of $17.9 million of accrued interest as of December 31, 2019, and $6.4 million of interest incurred in the first quarter of 2020.

On April 1, 2020,June 24, 2021, the Company, USWS LLC, as the borrower, and all of the other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a SecondFifth Amendment (the “Term“Fifth Term Loan Amendment”) to the senior secured term loanSenior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Term Loan”) with CLMG Corp., as administrative and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on December 5, 2025.

Pursuant to the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, the interest rate on amounts outstanding under the senior secured term loan was reduced to 0.0% and scheduled principal amortization payments were suspended for the period beginning April 1, 2020 and ending March 31, 2022. Beginning April 1, 2022, the senior secured term loan, as amended by the Term Loan Amendment, will resume incurring interest at the applicable LIBOR rate, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus 8.25%, and scheduled principal amortization payments equal to 0.5% of the initial principal balance of the term loans will resume on a quarterly basis commencing June 30, 2022. Additionally, pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, certain other covenants were amended including, but not limited to, covenants relating to collateral inspections and excess cash flow, and the maturity date of the senior secured term loan was extended to December 5, 2025.


The Company accounted for the Term Loan Amendment as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, due to the level of concession provided by the lenders under the senior secured term loan. Under this guidance, the future undiscounted cash flows of the senior secured term loan, as amended, exceeded the carrying value, and accordingly, 0 gain was recognized and no adjustment was made to the carrying value of the debt. Interest expense on the amended senior secured term loan was computed using a new effective rate that equated the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying value of the debt under the original terms.

In exchange for entering into the Term Loan Amendment, the lenders under the senior secured term loan received an extension fee comprised of a $20.0 million cash payment, 1,050 shares of Series B preferred stock valued at $1.1 million based on the stated liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and 5,529,622 shares of Class A common stock valued at $1.4 million based on the closing price of the Class A common stock at the date of issuance. The Series B preferred stock issued to the lenders under the senior secured term loan had the same terms as the Series B preferred stock issued to certain institutional investors as described in “Note 10 – Mezzanine Equity”.

The total fair value of cash and non-cash consideration transferred to the lenders under the senior secured term loan were accounted for as discount on debt issuance and amortized using the effective interest method.

On July 30, 2020, the Company, USWS LLC, as the borrower, and all of the other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Third Term Loan Amendment”) to the senior secured term loan with CLMG Corp., as administrative and collateral agent and the lenders party thereto.

Pursuant to the Third Term Loan Amendment, the agents and the lenders agreed to make certain modifications and amendments to the senior secured term loan in orderSenior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, consentpermit the incurrence of debt and liens in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes as described in “Note 11 – Convertible Senior Notes”. Additionally, pursuant to the entry intoFifth Term Loan Amendment, other covenants were amended including, but not limited to, certain covenants relating to collateral, asset dispositions, and special purpose entities used for stand-alone equipment financings.

Each Equity Linked Note, subject to earlier conversion, is due and payable on June 5, 2026 in shares of Class A common stock equal to the entire outstanding and unpaid principal balance, plus any PIK interest, subject to certain limitations on the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued and which would require the Company to settle the conversion in payment partially in cash. The number of shares of Class A common stock will be based on the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock immediately preceding the maturity date. The Equity Linked Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the principal amount of such notes then outstanding plus PIK interest through the conversion date divided by the then applicable conversion price as described above. If the Company experiences an event of default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), which is continuing on the maturity date, then payment of principal and PIK interest shall be made in cash on any outstanding Equity Linked Notes.

Additionally, following the first anniversary of the Note Purchase Agreement, and at any time in which there are 0 issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock or Series B preferred stock, if the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock is greater than $7.00 for 10 trading days during any 20 consecutive trading day period, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of an Equity Linked Note to convert such Equity Linked Notes at the conversion prices set forth above.

In accordance with ASC 480,the Company evaluated the Equity Linked Notes and determined they should be classified as liabilities due to the unconditional obligation to settle the notes in a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. Certain of the Equity Linked Notes issued were initially measured at fair value as they were considered new instruments issued concurrently to extinguish the Series A preferred stock. See “Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity” for the discussion of Series A preferred stock exchange.

The initial measurement at fair value of those certain Equity Linked Notes resulted in the Company recording a premium of $1.9 million and a total discount of $16.1 million. The Company amortizes such premium and discount as an adjustment to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Equity Linked Notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred transaction costs related to the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes of $4.4 million which were recorded as debt issuance costs and are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes. Amortization expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes was $27 and $706 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and is presented in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Pool A Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool A Performance Awards (“Pool A Awards”) to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool A Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, a fixed monetary amount either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on its closing share price on the date of settlement. The Pool A Awards vest in full one year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the applicable award agreement but settlement does not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

The Company accounts for the Pool A Awards under liability accounting as a result of the fixed monetary amount that could be settled either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Since the settlement will not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the Company considers the delayed settlement as a post-vesting restriction which would impact the determination of grant-date fair value of the award.

In 2020, the Company granted Pool A Awards which fully vested on January 1, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted Pool A Awards that will fully vest on January 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Pool A Awards liabilities were remeasured to $2.9 million and $3.4 million for the 2020 and 2019, matching contributions were $1.0 million and $3.8 million,respectively. The matching contributions were included in2021 Pool A Awards, respectively, which was estimated using a risk-adjusted discount rate reflecting the weighted-average cost of services and selling, general and administrative expensescapital of similarly traded public companies.

As of September 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to Pool A Awards was $4.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.58 years.

Pool B Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool B Performance Awards ("Pool B Awards") to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool B Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, either a cash payment calculated in accordance with the award agreement, or a fixed number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Pool B Awards vest over three years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the condensed consolidated statementapplicable award agreement, subject to the grantee’s continuous services through each vesting period. The grant date fair value of operations.the Pool B Awards is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

NOTE 1516 – INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the CARESCoronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (as amended, the “CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act contains several corporate income tax provisions, including, among other things, providing a 5-year carryback of net operating loss (“NOL”) tax carryforwards generated in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, removing the 80%80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs if carried back to prior tax years or utilized in tax years beginning before 2021, temporarily liberalizing the interest deductions rules under Section 163(j) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and making corporate alternative minimum tax credits immediately refundable. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company filed an application to carry back its 2018 NOLs, claiming a refund of approximately $0.8 million. The Company continues to evaluate other potential effects of$0.8 million, which was received during the CARES Act.nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 was (0.38)(0.06)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is due to state taxes, flow-through income not subject to tax, and a valuation allowance.

We follow guidance issued by the FASB in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.

We have considered our exposure under the standard at both the federal and state tax levels. We did 0t0t record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020. We record income tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. We did not incur any material interest or penalties on income taxes.

After consideration of all of the information available, management determined that a valuation allowance was appropriate, as it is more likely than not that the Company will not utilize its net deferred tax assets.

Litigation

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

The Company was named a defendant in a case filed on January 14, 2019 in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware styled Smart Sand, Inc. v. U.S. Well Services LLC, C.A. 19C-01-144 PRW. On June 1, 2021, the court ruled against the Company in the case on the breach of contract claim and subsequently, on June 17, 2021, entered judgement in favor of Smart Sand in the amount of approximately $51.0 million. On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Smart Sand, Inc. (“Smart Sand”), pursuant to which the Company and Smart Sand reached a settlement of all matters in dispute. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $35.0 million in cash and to provide Smart Sand certain rights of first refusal related to the supply of proppant for a period of two years (the “Settlement”). The parties to the Settlement Agreement also released each other from claims arising from or related to the Smart Sand litigation or the final judgment of the court. As of September 30, 2021, the Company paid $35.0 million to Smart Sand and the settlement expense was reflected as litigation settlement on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The information provided below supplements, but does not form part of, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events, conditions and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “plans,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “foresee,” or the negative thereof.

These statements are based on our current expectation, beliefexpectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These factors include geological, operating and economic factors and decliningchanges in prices and market conditions, including reducedchanges in expected or realized oil and gas prices (including the recent significant decline in oil prices since the beginning of 2020) and demand for oilfield services and changes in supply or demand for maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and service; the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions; our ability to obtain financing, raise capital and continue as a going concern; our ability to implement our internal growth and acquisition growth strategies; general economic and business conditions specific to our primary customers; our ability to collect accounts receivable; compliance with our debt agreements and equity-related securities; volatility in market prices; our ability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq with respect to our Class A common stock and warrants or to cure any continued listing standard deficiency with respect thereto; changes in government regulations; our ability to effectively integrate businesses we may acquire; new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; availability of materials and labor; inability to obtain or delay in obtaining government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as natural disasters, catastrophes and severe weather conditions, including floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; public health crises, such as a pandemic, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic;pandemic and new and potentially more contagious variants of COVID-19, such as the delta variant; acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; and cyber-attacks adversely affecting our operation. This Report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. There can be no assurance that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences also include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC, including under "Risk Factors" in this Report and in our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2020.Report.

Overview

We provide high-pressure, hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping services in oil and natural gas basins. Both our conventional andOur Clean Fleet® hydraulic fracturing well stimulation fleets are among the most reliable and highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to meet the most demanding pressure and pump rate requirements. We operate in many of the active shale and unconventional oil and natural gas basins of the United States and our clients benefit from the performance and reliability of our equipment and personnel. Specifically, all of our fleets operate on a 24-hour basis and have the ability to withstand the high utilization rates, which results in more efficient operations. Our senior management team has extensive industry experience providing pressure pumping services to exploration and production companies across North America. In May 2021, we announced our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. As a result of this strategic transition, we are the only publicly-traded, pure-play electric completions services provider.

How the Company Generates Revenue

We generate revenue by providing hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping services to our customers. We own and operate a fleetfleets of hydraulic fracturing unitswell stimulation equipment to perform these services. We seek to enter into contractual arrangements with our customers or fleet dedications, which establish pricing terms for a fixed duration. Under the terms of these agreements, we charge our customers base monthly rates, adjusted for activity and provision of materials such as proppant and chemicals, or we charge a variable rate based on the nature of the job including pumping time, well pressure, sand and chemical volumes and transportation.


Our Costs of Conducting Business

The principal costs involved in conducting our hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping services are labor, maintenance, materials, and transportation costs. A large portion of our costs are variable, based on the number and requirements of hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping jobs. We manage our fixed costs, other than depreciation and amortization, based on factors including industry conditions and the expected demand for our services.

Materials include the cost of sand delivered to the basin of operations, chemicals, and other consumables used in our operations. These costs vary based on the quantity and qualitytype of sand and chemicals utilized when providing hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping services. Transportation represents the costs to transport materials and equipment from receipt points to customer locations. Labor costs include payroll and benefits related to our field crews and other employees, as well as severance costs. A majorityemployees. Most of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our labor cost included approximately $2.3 million of severance expense. Maintenance costs include preventative and other repair costs that do not require the replacement of major components of our hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation fleets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our maintenance costs included $0.4 million related to the disposal of obsolete inventory.

Significant Trends

In May 2021, we announced our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. As a result, we have been executing on our plan to sell our diesel pressure pumping equipment. The proceeds received from these sales were used to reduce the outstanding balance of our Senior Secured Term Loan and pay applicable prepayment penalties. Additionally, we expect the corresponding reduction of average active fleets to have a short-term significant impact on our results of operations as we ended our remaining contracts which utilize conventional diesel pressure pumping equipment in the third quarter of 2021. Specifically, we expect revenues, cost of services, and depreciation to decline entering the fourth quarter of 2021, until such time we are able to generate business activity from four new next-generation all-electric fleets, the first of which we expect to be delivered late in the first quarter of 2022.

Significant Trends

The global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic andabove table may not equal the associated decrease in commodity prices has significantly impacted industry activity in 2020. Weaker economic activity and lower demand for crude oil, driven by the persistencesum or difference of the COVID-19 pandemic, has adversely impacted our business, resulting in a reduction in our active fleet count and fleet utilization levels. As such, we are experiencing considerable uncertainty in our near-term business prospects and abilitycomponents due to forecast future financial performance.

In response to the challenging business and operating environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken proactive measures to safeguard the physical health of our employees and the financial health of our business. Employees capable of working from home were mandated to do so until conditions improve making it safe for their return on a voluntary basis. Additionally, all individuals entering into a Company facility or work location undergo a screening process. Beginning in February 2020, we took swift action to reduce costs, rationalizing the size of the organization to match activity through reductions-in-force, furloughing employees, reducing compensation levels across the board, and closing facilities. We also worked with customers to accelerate the collections of accounts receivables in certain cases and worked with suppliers to reduce our cost of goods and ensure the availability of supply. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed an offering of redeemable convertible preferred equity concurrent with the amendment of certain terms of our debt instruments in order to provide us with greater liquidity and financial flexibility (See “Note 9 - Debt” and “Note 10 – Mezzanine Equity” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we have also taken advantage of relief offered by the CARES Act with the deferral of the employer portion of social security taxes, the carryback of our 2018 NOLs to prior year taxable income and in July 2020, the receipt of a $10.0 million PPP Loan. We also expect to substantially limit growth capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Revenue. The decreaseincrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the declinean increase in business activity asdue to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the prior period. During the third quarter of 2021 our average active fleet count during the period decreased to 5was 6 fleets compared to 95 fleets in the prior comparable period. Revenue was also affected to a lesser extent by the continuing trend of customers self-sourcing lower margin consumables such as sand, chemicals, and sand transportation. We anticipateHowever, we expect revenue to continue to be depresseddecline in future quarters as long aswe ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the industry conditions discussed in “Significant Trends” above continue. In addition, we expect the trendthird quarter of customers self-sourcing consumables to continue, resulting in lower revenues from consumables as compared to periods in which we provided these consumables to customers.  2021.

The decreaseincrease in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the declineincrease in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and significant cost cutting measures implementeddepressed oil prices in responsethe prior period. During the third quarter of 2021, we experienced elevated variable costs for labor, repair and maintenance, trucking and equipment rentals, and also incurred approximately $5.5 million of expenses related to current industry conditions as describedour exit from the diesel pressure pumping market and extra third-party labor to supplement staff out on COVID quarantine. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $1.0 million in “Significant Trends” above as well asshare-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter. Due to a reduction in consumables costs as a resultvesting start date of increased customer self-sourcing.January 1, 2021 for some of the share-based awards, $0.7 million of share-based compensation expense was attributable to the first half of 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the lower cost basis of depreciating long-lived assets as a resultbecause of impairment losses recorded in the first quarter of 2020,2020. We expect depreciation and fully depreciated long-lived assets since the end of the prior comparable quarter.amortization to decline in future quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to sell our remaining diesel pressure pumping equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The decreaseincrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to reductions-in-force, furloughing employees, and reductionthe reinstatement of employee compensationsalary levels in responsedue to current industryimproved economic conditions as describedcompared to the prior period. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $3.0 million in “Significant Trends” above.share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter. Due to a vesting start date of January 1, 2021 for some of the share-based awards, $2.0 million of share-based compensation expense was attributable to the first half of 2021.

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets. TheIn May 2021, we announced our plan to exit the diesel pressure pumping market and began selling our diesel pressure pumping equipment. As a result, we recognized a net gain on disposal of assets during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to a loss on disposal of assets in the prior period. We anticipate additional gains from the sale of diesel pressure pumping equipment in the coming quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to divest this equipment. Excluding these sales, the amount of gain or loss on disposal of assets fluctuates period over period due to differences in the operating conditions of our hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation equipment, such as wellbore pressure and rate of barrels pumped per minute, that impact the timing of disposals of our hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation pump components and the amount of gain or loss recognized. The decrease in the loss on disposal of assets was primarily attributable to the significant decrease in loss on disposal related to fluid ends, due to a change in accounting estimate related to their useful life (See Property and Equipment in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, fluid ends are expensed as they are used in operations, due to their shortened useful life estimate.components.

The decreaseincrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the declinean increase in business activity as ourdue to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the second quarter of 2020. Our average active fleet count during the period decreasedincreased to 78 fleets compared to 117 fleets in the prior comparable period. The decrease in revenue was also attributable to an increased amount of self-sourcing by customers of lower-margin consumables such as sand, chemicals, and sand transportation.

As a result, we recognized a net gain on disposal of assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a loss on disposal of assets in the prior period. We anticipate additional gains from the sale of diesel pressure pumping equipment in the coming quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to divest this equipment. Excluding these sales, the amount of gain or loss on disposal of assets fluctuates period over period due to differences in the operating conditions of our hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation equipment, such as wellbore pressure and rate of barrels pumped per minute, that impact the timing of disposals of our hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation pump componentscomponents.

Litigation settlement. The Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in January 2019 by a vendor alleging that the Company breached a multi-year contract. In June 2021, following entry of the final judgement by the court in favor of the vendor, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to pay $35.0 million in cash, among other things. The cash portion of the settlement agreement was paid in June 2021.

Patent license sales.On June 24, 2021, the Company issued a Convertible Senior Note in the principal amount of $22.5 million that was convertible into the License Agreement. On June 29, 2021, the holder exercised its right to convert the Convertible Senior Note in full and the amountCompany entered into the License Agreement, which provides the licensee a five-year option to purchase up to 20 licenses to build and operate electric well stimulation fleets using the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology. Upon entry into the License Agreement, the Company sold three licenses to build and operate three electric well stimulation fleets, each valued at $7.5 million.

Beginning in the second quarterearly repayment of 2020, fluid ends are expensed as they are used in operations, due to their shortened useful life estimate.our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on the balance sheet, cash flow generated from operating activities, proceeds from the issuance of equity, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, senior secured term loan and PPP Loan, and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a private placement 21,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B preferred stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $21.0 million. On April 1, 2020, the Purchasers purchased the Series B preferred stock. We used substantially all of the proceeds from the Series B preferred stock to obtain the amendment on our senior secured term loan described below.

On April 1, 2020, we entered into agreements to amend our existing senior secured term loanissuance of Convertible Senior Notes, and revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the amendment to our senior secured term loan, the interest rate on the outstanding loan was reduced to 0.0%borrowings and the scheduled principal amortization payments were suspended for the period beginning April 1, 2020 and ending March 31, 2022. In addition, the maturity date of the senior secured term loan was extended to December 5, 2025. Pursuant to the amendment to our revolving credit facility, the aggregate revolving commitment was reduced from $75.0 million to $60.0 million, the maturity date was extended from May 7, 2024 to April 1, 2025, and the interest rate margin applicable to borrowingsborrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was increased by 0.50% per annum. In addition, theABL Credit Facility.

We believe that our current cash position, working capital balance, favorable payment terms under our Senior Secured Term Loan, borrowing basecapacity under theour ABL Credit Facility, was amended to include a FILO Amount, which increases borrowing base availability by up to the lesser of (i) $4.0 million and (ii) 5.0% of the value of eligible accounts receivables, subject to scheduled monthly reductions. Advances under the FILO amount accrue interest at a rate that is 1.50% higher than the rate applicable to other loans under the revolving credit facility and may be repaid only after all other revolving credit facility loans have been repaid.

In August 2020, we entered into an amendment to our revolving credit facility pursuant to which the aggregate revolving commitment under the facility was reducedamounts raised from $60.0 million to $50.0 million and certain modifications were made to eligible accounts in the borrowing base and to the applicable thresholds in the cash dominion trigger period and financial covenant trigger period, among other things. Our option to request an increase in commitments under the accordion feature was also removed under the terms of the amendment.

For more information regarding the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes and shares of Class A common stock under the Series B preferred stockATM Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy the anticipated cash requirements associated with our existing operations for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities primarily represents the results of operations exclusive of non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, provision for losses on accounts receivable and inventory, interest, impairment losses, losses on disposal of assets, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and share-based compensation and the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a litigation settlement of $35.0 million and $3.0 million of working capital payments from proceeds under our USDA Loan, which was partly offset by improvement in collection of our receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $23.2 million from the prior corresponding period. This decrease was primarily attributable to accelerated collections of accounts receivables, which was offset in part by interest payments amounting to $24.3 million related to our senior secured term loan, which represented interest from May 7, 2019 through March 31,Senior Secured Term Loan during the first quarter of 2020. With the entry into the amendment to our senior secured term loan on April 1, 2020, we have no interest coming due on the senior secured term loan over the next twelve months.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $165.2$13.6 million from the prior corresponding period, primarily related to proceeds from the sale of property and equipment as we began selling our diesel pressure pumping equipment in May 2021. Net cash used in investing activities was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to reduced$47.6 million in purchases of property and equipment, consisting of $22.6 million related to growth and maintenance capital expenditures as a resultand the remainder related to maintaining and supporting our existing pressure pumping equipment and payments made to replace damaged property and equipment. This was offset in part by $26.6 million in proceeds from the sale of a decline in business activity. property and equipment and $6.4 million of insurance proceeds related to the damaged property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to $43.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, amounting to $43.9 million,consisting of $18.8 million of which related to maintaining and supporting our existing hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping equipment, $0.3 million of which related to fleet enhancements and $24.8 million of which related to growth.growth capital expenditures. This was offset in part by proceeds of $15.8 million from the sale of certain property and equipment.

Financing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of $97.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes, proceeds of $13.6 million from the issuance of common stock and $2.9 million of net proceeds from notes payable, offset in part by $44.9 million of payments on our Senior Secured Term Loan, $1.4 million of net payments on our ABL Credit Facility and debt issuance costs of $7.1 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in financing activities reflectsprimarily consisted of net payments of amounts outstanding under$25.3 million related to our revolving credit facility, long term debt, noteABL Credit Facility, $6.2 million repayment of notes payable, equipment financing arrangements, finance$4.3 million of payments for capital leases and paymentdebt issuance costs of senior secured term loan amendment fee amounting to $51.0$20.2 million.

With the entry into the amendment to our senior secured term loan on April 1, 2020, we have no scheduled quarterly principal payments due over the next twelve months.Loan.

Capital Expenditures. Our business requires continual investments to upgrade or enhance existing property and equipment and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital expenditures primarily relate to maintenance capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures and fleet enhancement capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures needed to maintain and to support our current operations. Growth capital expenditures include expenditures to generate incremental distributable cash flow. Fleet enhancement capital expenditures include expenditures on new equipment related to existing fleets that increase the productivity of the fleet. Capital expenditures for growth and fleet enhancement initiatives are discretionary.

We classify maintenance capital expenditures as expenditures required to maintain or supplement existing hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation fleets. We budget maintenance capital expenditures based on historical run rates and current maintenance schedules. Growth capital expenditures relate to adding additional hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation fleets and are based on quotes obtained from equipment manufacturers and our estimate for the timing of placing orders, disbursing funds and receiving the equipment. Fleet enhancement capital expenditures relate to technology enhancements to existing fleets that increase their productivity and are based on quotes obtained from equipment manufacturers and our estimate for the timing of placing orders, disbursing funds and receiving the equipment.


We continuously evaluate our capital expenditures and the amount we ultimately spend will depend on a number ofseveral factors, including expected industry activity levels and company initiatives. As discussed in “Significant Trends” above, we expect to substantially limit growth capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We intend to fund the majoritymost of our capital expenditures, contractual obligations and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilityABL Credit Facility and other financing sources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The Company’smost significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include the operating leasesequipment and sand purchase commitments disclosed in the “Contractual Obligations” section herein. For further description of such operating leases and purchase commitments, see “Note 1617 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company doesWe do not have a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity, we do not have any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, and we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities.


ItemITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

WeAs a smaller reporting company, we are exposed to market risks from interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. We have not entered into any derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk for speculative purposes. Our operations are conducted entirely in the United States; therefore, we have no significant exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The consolidated financial statements are subject to concentrations of credit risk consisting primarily of accounts receivable.

Beginning April 1, 2022, we will be subject to interest rate risk on our senior secured term loan. At that time, this loan will be subject to an annual interest rate that is indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Refer to “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The impact of a 1% increase in interest rates on this debt would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.6 million annually.

Our material and fuel purchases expose us to commodity price risk. Our material costs primarily consist of proppants and chemicals that are consumed while providing hydraulic fracturing services. Our fuel costs primarily consist of diesel fuel used by our trucks and other equipment. Our material and fuel costs are variable and are impacted by changes in supply and demand. We generally pass along price increases to our customers; however, we may be unable to do so in the future. We do not engage in commodity price hedging activities. However, we have commitments in place with certain vendors to purchase sand. Some of these agreements have minimum purchase requirements. We could be required to purchase sand and pay prices in excess of market prices atprovide the time of purchase. Refer to “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations” for the contractual commitments and obligations table as of September 30, 2020.

The concentration of our customers in the oil and gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk in that customers may be similarly affectedinformation required by changes in economic and industry conditions. We extend credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of our business. We manage our credit exposure by performing credit evaluations of our customers and maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2020, we recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts of $9.0 million, which was primarily driven by growing uncertainty that we will be able collect billed amounts from customers weakened by the recent collapse in crude oil prices. We are continuing to work with our customers to collect on our receivables.this item.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Status

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the classification of the Company’s warrants as components of equity instead of as liabilities as more fully described in our Amended Annual Report. Management implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We further improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. Management believes that the previously identified material weakness has been remediated as of September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

ThereDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The new ERP system replaced our previous accounting system and general ledger. As a result of this implementation, the Company modified certain existing controls and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system to maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during and after the system change. We will continue to monitor the impact of this implementation on our processes and procedures, as well as the impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.

Other than the changes described above, there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, we were named as a defendant in a case filed on January 14, 2019See “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Smart Sand, Inc. v. U.S. Well Services, LLC) seeking monetary damages arising out of the cancellation of a sand contract. The litigation is in the discovery stages. As such, no prediction can be made asNotes to the outcome of the case at this time.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

We are involved in various other pending or potential legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The volatility of oil and natural gas pricesOur exit from the diesel pressure pumping market may continue to adversely affect the demand for our services and negatively impact our resultsliquidity and our ability to generate revenues and service our outstanding indebtedness for a period of operations.time.

The demand forIn May 2021, we announced our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services is substantially influenced by currentprovider and anticipated crude oil and natural gas commodity prices and the related levels of capital spending and drilling activity in the areas in whichAugust 2021, we have operations. Volatility or weakness in crude oil and natural gas commodity prices (or the perception that crude oil and natural gas commodity prices will decrease) affects the spending patternsceased operations of our customers,last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. We have sold a portion of our diesel pressure pumping equipment and the products and services we provide are, to a substantial extent, deferrable in the event oil and natural gas companies reduce capital expenditures. As a result, we have and may continue to experience lower utilization of and may be forcedexpect to continue to lower our rates for our equipment and services.

Historical prices for crude oil and natural gas have been extremely volatile and are expected to continue to be volatile. The market prices for crude oil and natural gas depend on factors beyond our control, including worldwide and domestic supplies of crude oil and natural gas and actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations. For example, the price of oil has fallen significantly since the beginning of 2020, due to the COVID–19 coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the worldwide economy and global demand for oil. Weaker economic activity and lower demand for crude oil, driven by the onset of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, has adversely impacted our business resulting in a sharp decrease in both our active fleet count and the utilization of our active fleets. As such, we are experiencing considerable uncertainty in our near-term business prospects and ability to forecast future performance. We expect hydraulic fracturing activity to be muted throughoutsell off the remainder of 2020our diesel pressure pumping equipment, which has and that financial performance will be highly uncertain until global economic activity recovers. Beyond the current significantresult in a reduction in crude oil prices resulting from the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic,number of fleets we have available to provide pressure pumping services until we are able to build out our all-electric well stimulation equipment. Until we are able to complete the build out of the electric equipment, we expect continued volatility in oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of exploration and development activities by our customers.

As a result of declines and volatility in commodity prices, exploration and production companies moved to significantly cut costs, both by decreasing drilling and completion activity and by demanding price concessions from their service providers, including providers of hydraulic fracturing services. In turn, service providers, including hydraulic fracturing service providers, were forced to lower their operating costs and capital expenditures, while continuing to operate their businesses in an extremely competitive environment. Prolonged periods of price instability in the oil and natural gas industry and any significant decline in exploration and development by our customers willgenerate less revenue, which may adversely affect the demand for our products and services, our financial condition, prospects and results of operations andimpact our ability to service our debt or fund capital expenditures.

outstanding indebtedness. Additionally, fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements and increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and natural gas could reduce the demand for oil and natural gas products, creating downward pressure on commodity prices and the prices we are able to charge for our services.


A pandemic or epidemic, including the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, and the regulatory steps to reduce its transmission could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The outbreak of the COVID–19 coronavirus, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity, including the global demand for oil and natural gas. A pandemic, including the COVID–19 coronavirus or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to restrictions that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities, including quarantines of certain geographic areas, restrictions on travel and other restrictions that prohibit employees from going to work. The continued spread of the COVID–19 coronavirus and the related mitigation measures has resulted and may continue todecrease in revenue will result in a significant decrease in business from our customers and/or cause our customers to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. If the COVID–19 coronavirus continues to spread or the response to contain the COVID–19 coronavirus pandemic is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our recently received PPP Loan, and our application for the PPP Loan couldreduction in the future be determined to have been impermissible or could result in damage toborrowing base available under our reputation.

On July 28, 2020, we received proceeds of $10.0 million from a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act, a portion ofABL Credit Facility, which may be forgiven. We intend to use the proceeds to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. A portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) uponadversely impact our application in accordance with the forgiveness rules set out in the CARES Act. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered lease payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the twenty-four-week period beginning on the date the loan is advanced, but not to exceed December 31, 2020. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. In addition, the amount of the PPP Loan eligible for forgiveness related to payroll costs is subject to additional limitations as outlined in the CARES Act. Although we intend to use the entire PPP Loan for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness in accordance with the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program, no assurance can be given that we will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.  Furthermore, on April 28, 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury stated that the SBA will perform a full review of any PPP loan over $2.0 million before forgiving the loan.

We will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, through monthly principal and interest payments. These payments will commence following the end of the deferment period as defined in the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan matures on July 24, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. We may prepay the principal at any time without penalty.

As part of our application for the PPP Loan, we were required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. We made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, our financial situation and access to alternative forms of capital, and believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loan and that our receipt of the PPP Loan is consistent with the broad objectives of the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. The certification described above does not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation. On April 23, 2020, the SBA issued guidance stating that it is unlikely that a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets will be able to make the required certification in good faith. The lack of clarity regarding loan eligibility under the Paycheck Protection Program has resulted in significant media coverage and controversy with respect to public companies applying for and receiving loans. If, despite our good faith belief that given our Company’s circumstances we satisfied all eligible requirements for the PPP Loan, we are later determined to have violated any of the laws or governmental regulations that apply to us in connection with the PPP Loan, such as the False Claims Act, or it is otherwise determined that we were ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, we may be subject to penalties, including significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties and could be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety. In addition, receipt of a PPP Loan may result in adverse publicity and damage to reputation, and a review or audit by the SBA or other government entity or claims under the False Claims Act could consume significant financial and management resources. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


liquidity.Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock, or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of equity securities.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Second Amended and Restated Charter”) authorizes us to issue 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, of which 71,766,358 shares were outstanding as of October 31, 2020, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 50,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and 22,050 shares of Series B preferred stock were outstanding as of October 31, 2020. The holders of the Series B preferred stock have the right to convert all or any portion of their shares of Series B preferred stock into shares of Class A common stock and the Series A preferred stock have the right to convert all or any portion of their shares of Series A preferred stock into shares of Class A common stock beginning in May 2020. In addition, as of October 31, 2020, warrants to purchase up to 17,147,315 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding and immediately exercisable.

A large percentage of our shares of common stock are held by a relatively small number of investors. We entered into registration rights agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with certain of those investors in connection with the Transaction and in connection with their subsequent purchase of Series A preferred stock and the issuance of the Series B preferred stock pursuant to which we have filed registration statements with the SEC to facilitate potential future sales of such shares by them.

We may issue shares of our Class A common stock or other securities from time to time pursuant to our ATM Offering or as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. If any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of our Class A common stock, or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be substantial. We may also grant registration rights covering those shares of our Class A common stock or other securities in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.

We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Class A common stock will have on the price at which our Class A common stock trades or the size of future issuances of our Class A common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances will have on the market price of our Class A common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through a future sale of, or pay for acquisitions using, our equity securities.

We are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ Capital Market listing standards. If our common stock is delisted, the market price and liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital would be adversely impacted.

Our Class A common stock and warrants are currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). Continued listing of a security on NASDAQ is conditioned upon compliance with various continued listing standards.  On April 21, 2020, we received a notice (the “Notice”) from NASDAQ stating we were not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”), because the bid price for our Class A common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 price per share requirement for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days. On August 14, 2020, we received another notice (the “Second Notice”) from NASDAQ stating that, based upon its review of our market value of listed securities for the last thirty consecutive business days, we do not meet the market value of listed securities requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In addition, the Second Notice informed us that as of August 14, 2020, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to stockholders’ equity or net income from continuing operations (the “Alternative Compliance Standards”).

The Notice and the Second Notice have no immediate effect on our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Given the extraordinary market conditions, Nasdaq determined to toll the compliance periods for the bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements (collectively, the “Price-based Requirements”) through June 30, 2020. Accordingly, the compliance periods for the Price-based Requirements was reinstated on July 1, 2020.

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Minimum Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Class A common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days before the end of this 180-day period. We also have a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Second Notice, or until February 10, 2021, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. Compliance can be achieved by meeting the MVLS Requirement for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period, unless NASDAQ exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period.


If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by December 28, 2020, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for NASDAQ, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we meet these requirements, the Nasdaq staff will grant an additional 180 calendar days for us to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Nasdaq staff determines that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. We would have the right to appeal a determination to delist our Class A common stock, and the Class A common stock would remain listed on Nasdaq until the completion of the appeal process.

We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our Class A common stock and may, as appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or the MVLS Requirement. There can be no assurance we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or the MVLS Requirement by the end of the compliance period.  

If our Class A common stock was to be delisted from NASDAQ, trading of our common stock most likely would be conducted in the over–the–counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTCQX Market, OTCQB Market or OTC Bulletin Board.  Such trading would likely reduce the market liquidity of our Class A common stock. As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our Class A common stock. If our Class A common stock is delisted from NASDAQ and the trading price remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our Class A common stock might also become subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker–dealers in connection with any trade involving a stock defined as a “penny stock” (generally, any equity security not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend low–priced stocks to their clients. Moreover, various regulations and policies restrict the ability of stockholders to borrow against or “margin” low–priced stocks, and declines in the stock price below certain levels may trigger unexpected margin calls. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low–priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks, the current price of the Class A common stock can result in an individual stockholder paying transaction costs that represent a higher percentage of total share value than would be the case if our share price were higher. This factor may also limit the willingness of institutions to purchase our Class A common stock. Finally, the additional burdens imposed upon broker–dealers by these requirements could discourage broker–dealers from facilitating trades in our Class A common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and the ability of investors to trade our Class A common stock. As a result, the ability of our stockholders to resell their shares of Class A common stock, and the price at which they could sell their shares, could be adversely affected. The delisting of our Class A common stock from NASDAQ would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

Over the course of the year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has evaluated means by which it can provide incentives for certain of the Company’s key employees to remain employed by the Company. After carefully evaluating many options, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, has approved the grant of deferred stock units and certain performance incentive awards that will provide for potential future payments to be made to certain key employees of the Company, as summarized below. The Board believes that these awards will provide for a key retention pool that will benefit all of its stockholders. Specifically, the Board believes that these awards will enable the Company to: (i) enhance executive management’s and other key employees’ sense of participation in the Company; and (ii) provide incentives for continued employment. The Board also believes that these awards will further align the interests of executive management and key employees with those of the Company’s stockholders through the potential for increased stock ownership.


Deferred Stock Unit Awards

On November 5, 2020 (the “Grant Date”), the Company entered into Deferred Stock Unit Award Agreements (the “DSU Award Agreements”) with certain of its key employees, including Joel Broussard, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Kyle O’Neill, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The DSU Award Agreements were made pursuant to the Amended and Restated U.S. Well Services, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “A&R LTIP”), which was approved by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, on September 21, 2020. The A&R LTIP is expected to be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for approval by the Company’s stockholders.

Pursuant to their respective DSU Award Agreements, Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill were granted 3,592,795 and 1,434,960 Deferred Stock Units (the “DSUs”), respectively. In addition, the other key employees were issued a total of 4,072,913 DSUs. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which right is conditioned upon the Company receiving stockholder approval of the A&R LTIP. In the event that the Company’s stockholders do not approve the A&R LTIP and the Company lacks sufficient shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Stock Incentive PlanITEM to satisfy the DSU Award Agreements, then the unsatisfied portion of the DSU Award Agreements will be forfeited and void.5. OTHER INFORMATION.

The DSUs are subject to vesting and the award recipients continued employment with the Company, and will vest 1/3 each year, beginning on the first anniversary of January 1, 2020 (the “Vesting Effective Date”), or in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the DSU Award Agreement). If a recipient’s employment is terminated as the result of certain events, such as death, disability or retirement, the participant will vest in 1/3 of the DSUs.None.

Shares of Class A common stock issuable with respect to vested DSUs held by Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill will be issued on the earlier of the following: (i) the 60th day after their respective termination; (ii) upon a Change of Control (as defined in the DSU Award Agreement); or (iii) upon the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date.38


The foregoing description of the DSU Award Agreements and the DSUs does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the DSU Award Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.4.ITEM 6. EXHIBITS

Performance Awards (Pool A)

On the Grant Date, the Company entered into Performance Awards (Pool A) (the “Pool A Performance Award Agreements”) with certain of its key employees, including Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill, under the A&R LTIP.  

Pursuant to their respective Pool A Performance Award Agreements, Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill were each granted an award (the “Pool A Performance Award”) with a designated cash value equal to $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which amounts increase by 12.0% until May 24, 2021 and 16.0% thereafter, compounding quarterly (the “Pool A Award Value”). The cash value awarded to all other employees equals $1.0 million. The Pool A Award Value is subject to reduction if, in connection with any Change of Control (as defined in the Pool A Performance Award Agreements), the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed for less than its redemption price. No payments will be made under a Pool A Performance Award prior to the date on which the Pool A Performance Award becomes vested and the restricted periods lapse, and payment date occurs, as summarized below.

The respective Pool A Performance Awards of Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill are subject to their continued employment and vest in full (i) on the first anniversary of the Vesting Effective Date or (ii) upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Pool A Performance Award Agreements). If the employment of either Messrs. Broussard or O’Neill is terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Vesting Effective Date or for certain events of cause, then the entire Pool A Performance Award held by such terminated executive will be forfeited, whether or not vested in the case of a for cause termination.

The vested Pool A Performance Award will be payable to Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill on the earlier of the following:

a.

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Pool A Performance Award Agreements), either:

ii.

If shares of Series A Preferred Stock do not receive such consideration, then (i) in cash in a transaction in which the holders of Common Stock receive no consideration, cash or consideration other than a combination of cash and securities or (ii) in shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient of the applicable Pool A Award Value and


the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Pool A Performance Award Agreements) of a share of Class A common stock, upon a transaction in which the holders of Class A common stock receive securities or a combination of cash and securities.

b.

Upon the fixed payment date (as defined below) in, at the Company’s election, (i) cash or (ii) shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient of the Pool A Award Value and the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Pool A Performance Award Agreements) of a share of Class A common stock.

The fixed payment date (the “Fixed Payment Date”) is the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless the Company elects to defer the payment date, subject to the requirements set forth in the Pool A Performance Award Agreement or Pool B Performance Award Agreement, as applicable, for such a deferral, to a date not less than five years from, nor more than six years after, the initial Fixed Payment Date.

In the event that the Company’s stockholders do not approve the A&R LTIP, then the Pool A Performance Awards cannot be paid in shares of Class A common stock and will, in such case, only be payable in cash.

Performance Awards (Pool B)

On the Grant Date, the Company entered into Performance Awards (Pool B) (the “Pool B Performance Award Agreements”) with certain of its key employees, including Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill, under the A&R LTIP.  

Pursuant to their respective Pool B Performance Award Agreements, Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill were each granted an award (the “Pool B Performance Award”) with a designated cash value equal to $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which amounts increase by 12.0% until May 24, 2021 and 16.0% thereafter, compounding quarterly (the “Pool B Award Value”).

The Pool B Award Value is subject to reduction if, in connection with any Change of Control (as defined in the Pool B Performance Award Agreements), the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock is redeemed for less than its redemption price. No payments will be made under a Pool B Performance Award prior to the date on which the Pool B Performance Award becomes vested and the restricted periods lapse and payment date occurs, as summarized below.

Upon the termination of their employment for any other reason or for certain events of cause, then the unvested portion of the Pool B Performance Award held by such terminated executive will be forfeited, and in the case of a for cause termination, the entire Pool B Performance Award will be forfeited, whether or not vested.

The vested Pool B Performance Award will be payable to Messrs. Broussard and O’Neill on the earlier of the following:

ii.

If shares of Series B Preferred Stock do not receive such consideration, then (i) in cash in a transaction in which the holders of Class A common stock receive no consideration, cash or consideration other than a combination of cash and securities, in an amount equal to the greater of the Pool B Award Value and the value of that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient of the applicable Pool B Award Value and $0.308 (the “Pool B Shares FairMarket Value”) or (ii) in shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient of the applicable Pool B Award Value and the Pool B Shares Fair Market Value, upon a transaction in which the holders of Class A common


stock receive securities or a combination of cash and securities.
