EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 333-222831) (the “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) of Keane Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is being filed because the Registrant expects it will no longer be a well-known seasoned issuer (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) when it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is filed using EDGAR submission type POSASR and adds disclosure to the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement required for a registrant other than a well-known seasoned issuer and makes certain other amendments.
This registration statement contains a prospectus which covers the disposition from time to time of 51,668,175 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholder named in the prospectus. The prospectus immediately follows this explanatory note.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors referred to in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 of this prospectus, in any prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus, together with the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference before you make your investment decision.

Basis of Presentation
On January 25, 2017, we consummated an initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we issued and sold 15,700,000 shares of our common stock and Keane Investor sold 15,074,000 shares of our common stock. Our business prior to the IPO was conducted through Keane Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. To effectuate the IPO, we completed a series of transactions that resulted in a reorganization of our business. Specifically, among other transactions, we effected a series of organizational transactions (the “Organizational Transactions”), including the following:
• | Certain entities affiliated with our Sponsor, certain members of the Keane family, Trican Parent and certain members of our management contributed all of their direct and indirect equity interests in Keane Group to Keane Investor; |
• | Keane Investor contributed all of its equity interests in Keane Group to the Company in exchange for common stock of the Company; and |
• | our independent directors received grants of restricted stock of the Company in substitution for their interests in Keane Group. |
The Organizational Transactions represented a transaction between entities under common control and was accounted for similarly to pooling of interests in a business combination. In addition, the Company became the successor and Keane Group the predecessor for the purposes of financial reporting.
Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, historical information for periods prior to the completion of the IPO reflect the consolidated business and operations of Keane Group.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. However, we anticipate that our board of directors will consider the payment of dividends in the future based on our increasing levels of profitability and associated reduced debt leverage. We are not required to pay dividends, and our stockholders will not be guaranteed, or have contractual or other rights to receive, dividends. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends, and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of directors may decide, in its discretion, at any time, to modify or repeal the dividend policy or discontinue entirely the payment of dividends.
The ability of our board of directors to declare a dividend is also subject to limits imposed by Delaware corporate law. Under Delaware law, our board of directors and the boards of directors of our corporate subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware may declare dividends only to the extent of our “surplus,” which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited by restrictions on our ability under the terms of our indebtedness to make distributions, including restrictions under the terms of the agreements governing our 2017 ABL Facility and 2018 Term Loan Facility (each as defined in the Third Quarter 10-Q). We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we are dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from our subsidiaries to make dividend payments. KGI and its subsidiaries are subject to general restrictions imposed on dividend payments under the laws of their jurisdictions of incorporation or organization.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED AND
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined and consolidated financial information is derived by applying pro forma adjustments to Keane’s historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Keane completed its acquisition of RockPile on July 3, 2017.
The historical financial statements of RockPile have been extracted from RockPile’s interim financial information as of and for the two day period ended July 2, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2017. Keane and RockPile have fiscal years that end on December 31.
The acquisition of RockPile was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration transferred is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values, in each case based on the estimated fair value as of the acquisition dates. The excess of the consideration transferred over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
2. | RockPile Transactions |
On July 3, 2017 (the “RockPile Closing Date”), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated May 18, 2017 (the “RockPile Purchase Agreement”) with RockPile Holdings, RockPile Management NewCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the RockPile Holdings, the “RockPile Seller Parties”) and RockPile, we completed our acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of RockPile (the “RockPile Acquisition”) for (i) approximately $116.6 million in cash, including approximately $4.4 million in respect of deposits previously paid by RockPile Seller Parties for 30,000 previously ordered hydraulic fracturing horsepower, which was delivered and deployed in the fourth quarter of 2017, and (ii) 8,684,210 shares of our common stock (the “RockPile Acquisition Shares”). The cash portion of the purchase price was determined based on a $135 million base cash purchase price, which was subject to closing and post-closing adjustments as provided in the RockPile Purchase Agreement (including (i) reductions for the payment of RockPile’s indebtedness and transaction expenses at closing, (ii) increases for certain capital expenditures by RockPile made prior to the RockPile closing and (iii) customary adjustments for the amount of working capital of RockPile against a normalized working capital target). In addition, the Company entered into the Keane Group Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with RockPile Holders. Pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement, the RockPile Holders received one non-transferable contingent value right for each RockPile Acquisition Share, which collectively entitled the RockPile Holders to receive an aggregate payment (the “Aggregate CVR Payment Amount”) equal to the CVR Payment Amount (as defined herein) multiplied by the number of RockPile Acquisition Shares held by the RockPile Holders on the CVR Payment Date (as defined herein), provided that the Twenty-Day VWAP (as defined herein) was less than $19.00. The date of such payment (the “CVR Payment Date”) was April 10, 2018, the fifth business day following the date that is nine months after July 3, 2017 (such date, the “CVR Maturity Date”). The “CVR Payment Amount” was equal to the difference between (a) $19.00 and (b) the arithmetic average of the dollar volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each trading day for twenty (20) trading days randomly selected by the Company during the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the last business day prior to the CVR Maturity Date (the “Twenty-Day VWAP”), provided that the CVR Payment Amount would not exceed $2.30. The Aggregate CVR Payment Amount would be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis if (i) the aggregate gross proceeds received in connection with the resale of any RockPile Acquisition Shares plus (ii) the product of the number of RockPile Acquisition Shares held by the RockPile Holders on the CVR Payment Date and the Twenty-Day VWAP plus (iii) the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount exceeded $165 million.
10
Table of Contents
In early April 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, the Company calculated and paid the final Aggregate CVR Payment Amount, due to the RockPile Seller Parties, of $19.9 million.
In connection with the RockPile Acquisition, on July 3, 2017, KGI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the then-existing 2017 Term Loan Facility (as defined in our Third Quarter 10-Q) with each of the incremental lenders party thereto, each of the existing lenders party thereto and Owl Rock Capital Corporation to provide for an additional $135.0 million incremental term loan (the “Additional Financing”). The Additional Financing was used (i) to fund the cash consideration in connection with the RockPile Acquisition and any other payments required under the RockPile Purchase Agreement, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing and (iii) to fund general corporate purposes.
We refer to the above transactions as the “RockPile Transactions.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 are based on the historical financial statements of Keane as well as RockPile.
Conforming Accounting Policies
RockPile historically included the portion of depreciation expense related to revenue producing property and equipment in cost of services. Keane presents all depreciation and amortization on a separate line in the statements of operations. The pro forma adjustment reclassifies RockPile’s depreciation expense related to revenue producing property and equipment from cost of services to depreciation and amortization in the pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations.
RockPile historically expensed certain hydraulic fracturing engine components, such as transmissions and power ends, when purchased. Keane capitalizes the cost of transmissions and power ends and depreciates them over useful lives of three years and two and a half years, respectively, when placed into service. The pro forma adjustment to RockPile’s cost of services removes the impact of expensing these items when purchased. We have included the estimated depreciation expense of these items in depreciation and amortization in the pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations.
RockPile historically classified rig engines as inventory and expensed the engines as they are placed into service. Keane classifies engines as equipment and depreciates them over useful lives of four years. The pro forma adjustment reclassifies the rig engine from inventory to property, plant and equipment. We have included the estimated depreciation expense of the rig engine in depreciation and amortization in the pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations.
RockPile historically classified insurance and property tax expenses as cost of services. Keane classifies these expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses. The pro forma adjustment reclassifies these expenses from cost of services to selling, general and administrative expenses in the pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, RockPile historically classified health, safety and environment (“HSE”) professional fees as selling, general and administrative expenses. Keane classifies these fees as cost of services. The pro forma adjustment reclassifies HSE professional fees from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of services in the pro forma condensed, combined consolidated statements of operations.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Company accounted for the RockPile Transactions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase accounting is subject to the twelve-month measurement period adjustments to reflect any new information that may be obtained in the future about facts and circumstance that existed as of the acquisition date that if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date.
The total consideration under GAAP purchase accounting that was transferred to acquire RockPile of $258.8 million, net of cash acquired, is comprised of $116.6 million in cash (as further described in the table below), $130.3 million of RockPile Acquisition Shares and approximately $12.0 million in contingent consideration associated with the CVR Agreement. The equity consideration is calculated based on 8,684,210 shares of Keane common stock issued at a closing stock price on the RockPile Closing Date of $16.29 per share, subject to a 7.9% discount due to lack of marketability as a result of certain of the lockup agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the RockPile Acquisition Shares.

The CVR Agreement entitled each RockPile Holder on the CVR Payment Date to a CVR Payment Amount per RockPile Acquisition Share. The CVR Agreement provided that the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount would be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis if (i) the aggregate gross proceeds received in connection with the resale of any RockPile Acquisition Shares plus (ii) the product of the number of RockPile Acquisition Shares held by the RockPile Holders and the Twenty-Day VWAP plus (iii) the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount exceeded $165 million.

Table of Contents
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will consist of not less than seven directors and not more than 15 directors, and that the exact number of directors will be determined by a resolution of our board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that the authorized number of directors may be increased or decreased only with the approval of at least two-thirds of all of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote.
Each of Cerberus and a representative of a majority of the shares of common stock held by several entities affiliated with the Keane family (the “Keane Parties”), shall be entitled to, at its option, designate up to two individuals in the capacity of non-voting observers (“Observers”) to our Board of Directors. The appointment and removal of any Observer shall be by written notice to the Board of Directors. An Observer may attend any meeting of the board of directors, provided that no Observer shall have the right to vote or otherwise participate in the board of directors meeting in any way other than to observe any applicable meeting of the board of directors. Our board of directors or any committee thereof shall have the right to exclude an Observer from any meeting or portion thereof in the sole discretion of a majority of the members in attendance at such meeting. If the Keane Parties, directly or indirectly, cease to beneficially own at least 50% of our common stock beneficially owned by the Keane Parties at the time of this offering, the Keane Parties shall no longer have any right to appoint Observers and shall cause any appointed Observers to immediately resign.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Some provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals, other than proposals made by or at the direction of our board of directors or, prior to the 35% Trigger Date, by Keane Investor and its respective affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), or any person who is an express assignee or designee of Keane Investor’s respective rights under our certificate of incorporation (and such assignee’s or designee’s affiliates). Our bylaws also establish advance notice procedures with respect to the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a committee appointed by our board of directors. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed, and may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
Calling Special Stockholder Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors or by stockholders owning at least 25% in amount of our entire capital stock issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent
The DGCL permits stockholder action by written consent unless otherwise provided by our certificate of incorporation. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no action may be taken by written consent in lieu of a stockholders’ meeting.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as our board of directors may determine. The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law (“Section 203”). This law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging under certain circumstances in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
• | prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
• | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
• | on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines “business combination” to include: any merger or consolidation involving us and the interested stockholder; any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of our assets involving the interested stockholder; in general, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by us of any of our stock to the interested stockholder; or the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through us. In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any such entity or person. A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision by express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved by its stockholders. We have opted out of this provision. Accordingly, we will not be subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203.

Removal of Directors; Vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in any annual election of directors or class of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that vacancies, including those resulting from newly created directorships or removal of directors, may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, in each case although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. This may deter a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of the board of directors by filling the remaining vacancies with its own nominees.
Limitation on Directors’ Liability
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The DGCL permits a corporation to limit or eliminate a director’s personal liability to the corporation or the holders of its capital stock for breach of duty. This limitation is generally unavailable for acts or omissions by a director which (i) were in bad faith, (ii) were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or (iii) involved a financial profit or other advantage to which such director was not legally entitled. The DGCL also prohibits limitations on director liability for acts or omissions which resulted in a violation of a statute prohibiting certain dividend declarations, certain payments to stockholders after dissolution and particular types of loans. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director (including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described above. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Debt Facilities
Under our existing debt facilities, a change of control may permit the lenders to exercise remedies, such as acceleration of their loans, termination of their obligations to fund additional advances and collection against the collateral securing such loan.
Choice of Forum
Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, it is possible that a court could find our forum selection provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable.
Stockholders’ Agreement
Registration Rights
Any Holder that (i) collectively and beneficially own at least 20% of the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities (as defined herein) or (ii) collectively and beneficially own at least 10% of the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities, provided they beneficially own Registrable Securities equivalent to at least 50% of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by them as of the effective date, will have the right to require us to register their shares under the Securities Act under specified circumstances.
22
Table of Contents
With respect to the A&R Stockholders’ Agreement, “Registrable Securities” generally refers to outstanding shares of our common stock owned or hereafter acquired by a Holder; provided, however, that any such shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities to the extent (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such shares has been declared effective under the Securities Act and such shares have been disposed of in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement, (ii) such shares have been sold to the public through a broker, dealer or market maker in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule), or (iii) such shares cease to be outstanding.
Demand and Form S-3 Registration Rights
A Demand Holder (as defined herein), subject to specified limitations, may require that we register all or part of their shares of our common stock for sale under the Securities Act, provided that we are not required to effect more than one “marketed” underwritten offering or more than one demand registration in any consecutive 180-day period, that the number of shares of common stock requested to be registered in any underwritten offering have a value equal to at least $40,000,000 or 100% of the Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Holder, and that we are not required to effect more than six demand registrations. The Demand Holders may make demand for registrations on Form S-1, a long-form registration statement, or Form S-3, a short-form registration statement, when we are eligible to use those forms.
With respect to the A&R Stockholders’ Agreement, a “Demand Holder” is any Holder party to the A&R Stockholders’ Agreement that (i) collectively and beneficially owns at least 20% of the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities or (ii) collectively and beneficially owns at least 10% of the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities, provided they beneficially own Registrable Securities equivalent to at least 50% of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by them at July 3, 2017.
Piggyback Registration Rights
If we propose to register additional shares of common stock, each Holder will be entitled to notice of the registration and will be entitled to include its shares of common stock (on a pro rata and pari passu basis) in that registration with all registration expenses paid by us. Prior to the distribution by Keane Investor of all of the common stock it holds as of the completion of this offering to its equityholders, the only Holders permitted under the Stockholders’ Agreement to include their shares of common stock in a registration proposed by us shall be Keane Investor or a Demand Holder, unless Keane Investor or a Demand Holder also elects to participate in such registration.
Limitations and Expenses
Other than in a demand registration, with specified exceptions, the rights of the Holders to include shares in a registration are subject to the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in the offering. All fees, costs and expenses of any registrations made pursuant to the A&R Stockholders’ Agreement, including demand registrations, registrations on Form S-3 and piggyback registrations, will be paid by us, and all selling expenses, including underwriting discounts and commissions, will be paid by us, provided that a Demand Holder shall be responsible for our out-of-pocket registration expenses in the case of a withdrawal of a demand registration by such party (subject to certain exceptions).
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “FRAC.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC.

The selling stockholder has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus is made, an additional prospectus supplement, if required, will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such additional prospectus supplement. To the extent required, any such additional prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
To the extent required, any additional applicable prospectus supplement will set forth whether or not underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including, for example, by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids.
If the selling stockholder utilizes a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus, the selling stockholder will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
The selling stockholder may also authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities at the public offering price set forth in an additional prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commission that the selling stockholder must pay for solicitation of these contracts will be described in an additional prospectus supplement, to the extent such prospectus supplement is required.

Any underwriters, broker/dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by any of those underwriters, broker/dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.
Under certain circumstances, we, pursuant to the terms of the A&R Stockholders’ Agreement, will be responsible for fees and expenses, including but not limited to underwriter discounts and commissions, related to an offering by the selling stockholder of our common stock.
We and the selling stockholder may agree to indemnify underwriters, broker-dealers or agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may also agree to contribute to payments which the underwriters, broker/dealers or agents may be required to make.
Certain of the underwriters, broker/dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of the shares of common stock may engage in transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive customary compensation.

In connection with the IPO, we requested our independent auditor, KPMG, to affirm its independence relative to the rules and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. During KPMG’s independence evaluation procedures, an impermissible contingent fee arrangement was identified between a KPMG member firm of KPMG International Cooperative (the “KPMG Member Firm”) and an affiliated entity controlled by our Sponsor. This engagement existed during 2015 and through October 2016. The impermissible fee arrangement was terminated promptly upon identification. The KPMG Member Firm referenced above does not participate in the audit engagement of Keane Group, Inc. and Keane Group Holdings, LLC and the services provided by the KPMG Member Firm had no effect on KPMG’s audit engagements. KPMG considered whether the matters noted above impacted its objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment with regard to its engagement as our auditors and have concluded that there has been no impairment of KPMG’s objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment on all matters encompassed within its audits. After taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the above matter and KPMG’s determination, Keane Group Holdings, LLC’s audit committee also concluded that KPMG’s objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment has not been impaired.

The Board of Directors and Members
Keane Group Holdings, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Trican Well Service, L.P., which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trican Well Service, L.P. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Description of Company
Trican Well Service, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a multi-basin provider of oilfield services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States. The Partnership provides customers with hydraulic fracturing, cementing, coiled tubing and other services.
The Partnership is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Trican Well Service Ltd. (the “Parent”); an international oilfield services company incorporated under the laws of the province of Alberta, Canada and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
On January 25, 2016 the Parent entered into a definitive agreement with Keane Group Holdings LLC (“Keane”), a privately held U.S. based oilfield services company, for the sale of Parent’s U.S. pressure pumping business for $200 million in cash, an equity interest in Keane and Class C Profits Interests in Keane that represent an additional economic participation above certain thresholds upon a Keane liquidity event (the “Transaction”). The Transaction includes the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership. Businesses retained by the Parent included Trican Geological Services and Trican Industrial and Pipeline Services. The Transaction closed on March 16, 2016.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X, Article 3, General Instructions as to Financial Statements and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1-B, Allocations of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity, and reflect all material adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly, in all material respects the financial results for the periods presented.
The Partnership operates independently from the Parent and incurs its own operating expenses. However, certain support functions are provided to the Partnership by the Parent. These functions include corporate finance, information systems, human resources, technology services, research and development, and operational and safety support. The main allocation driver for each of the allocated expenses is time spent supporting the Partnership as a percentage of total time spent by each Parent employee on each area.
Management believes that the assumptions underlying financial statements including assumptions regarding allocating general corporate overhead from the Parent are reasonable. However, such costs may not reflect the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Partnership been operating as a standalone company for the periods presented. In addition, these costs may not be reflective of costs that would have been incurred if the Partnership was operating as part of Keane.
Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Partnership operated independently from the Parent would depend on multiple factors, including organizational and strategic decisions in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. Transactions between Trican and the Parent have been identified in these financial statements as transactions between related parties. Refer to Note 15 for further discussion of related party transactions.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, contingent liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation and net realizable value of inventory.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
(c) Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the statements of cash flows.
The Partnership analyzes the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses related to potentially uncollectible accounts receivable on a case by case basis throughout the year. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Partnership reserves amounts based on specific identification. Account balances are written off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). Cost is determined using the standard cost method adjusted for variances when necessary, to approximate average costs. Costs of inventories include purchase, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing location and condition. Spare parts are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using weighted average method.

The Partnership periodically reviews the nature and quantities of inventory on hand and evaluates the net realizable value of items based on historical usage patterns, known changes to equipment or processes and customer demand for specific products. Significant or unanticipated changes in business conditions could impact the magnitude and timing of impairment recognized. Provision for excess or obsolete inventories is determined based on our historical usage of inventory on-hand, volume on hand versus anticipated usage, technological advances, and consideration of current market conditions. Inventories that have not turned over for more than a year are subject to a slow moving reserve provision. In addition, inventories that have become obsolete due to technological advances, excess volume on hand, or not fitting our equipment are written-off.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the Partnership’s hydraulic fracturing, cementing and coiled tubing services is earned and recognized as jobs are completed, which is generally on a day or hourly rate, raw material consumption, per stage or similar basis. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is complete, the amount is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, as follows:
Hydraulic Fracturing
The Partnership provides hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages or wells. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is created that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals and proppants consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous items. This field ticket is used to create an invoice, which is sent to the customer upon the completion of each job.
Cementing
The Partnership provides cementing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. The Partnership typically charges the customer for these services on a per job basis at agreed upon spot market rates or agreed upon job pricing for a particular project. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is written that includes charges for the service performed and the consumables used during the course of service. Revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job.
Coiled Tubing
Through its coiled tubing service line, the Partnership provides a range of coiled tubing and other well stimulation services, including nitrogen and pressure pumping services, primarily on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to several days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the services performed and the consumables used during the course of service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization and set-up of equipment, the personnel on the job, any additional equipment used on the job, and other miscellaneous items. The Partnership typically charges the customer for the services performed and resources provided on an daily basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Shipping and handling costs related to customer contracts are charged to cost of services. To the extent such costs are billable to the customer the amounts are recorded as revenue.
(f) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, inclusive of equipment under capital lease, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is recognized in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each part of an item of property and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits generated by the asset. Management bases the estimate of the useful life and salvage value of property and equipment on expected utilization, technological change and effectiveness of maintenance programs. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property and equipment, and are recognized net within operating costs and expenses in the statements of operations.
Equipment and vehicles held under capital leases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Major classifications of property and equipment and their respective useful lives are as follows:
Type of property of equipment | Estimated useful life | |
Land | Indefinite life | |
Buildings and leasehold improvements | 30 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 10 years | |
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures | 2 to 10 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
The Partnership incurs maintenance costs on its major equipment. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve or extend the life of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for a period of greater than 12 months.
(g) Intangible Assets
The Partnership’s acquired intangible assets are comprised of non-compete agreements and customer lists. Non-compete agreements and customer lists were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date and amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 year and 5 year estimated useful lives, respectively.

(h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership assesses its intangible assets and property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted future net cash flows of assets grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.
The Partnership determined the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are independent of other asset groups to be at the asset group level (cementing, coiled tubing, hydraulic fracturing and other), as well as an entity level asset group for assets that do not have identifiable independent cash flows. Impairments exist when the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds estimates of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. When alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of the asset are under consideration, estimates of future undiscounted cash flows take into account possible outcomes and probabilities of their occurrence. If the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable
based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset group’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value, such that the asset group’s carrying amount is adjusted to its estimated fair value, with an offsetting charge to operating costs and expenses. In assessing fair value of an asset group, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
(i) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Partnership’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at each reporting date are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs and assumptions underlying the valuation techniques. The Partnership utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Partnership determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
• | Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
• | Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. |
F-11

TRICAN WELL SERVICE, L.P.
Balance Sheets December 31,
2015 and 2014 (Amounts in
thousands)
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Partnership’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, accrued expenses, related party balances and long-term debt. The carrying values of all the
Partnership’s financial instruments included in the accompanying balance sheets approximated or equaled their fair values at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
• | The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, related party balances, trade payables, and accrued expenses approximated fair value at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, due to their short-term nature. |
• | The carrying value of amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates approximated fair value at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as the variable interest rates approximated market rates. |
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of long-lived assets are determined with internal cash flow models based on significant unobservable inputs. The Partnership measures the fair value of its property and equipment using the discounted cash flow method and market participant assumptions. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs used in the Partnership’s internal cash flow models, the cash flows models are deemed to use Level 3 inputs.
During 2015, the Partnership recognized an impairment loss on its long-lived assets of $246.6 million. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of impairment of long-lived assets.
(j) Employee Benefits and Postemployment Benefits
Contractual termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated due to an event specified in the provisions of a social/labor plan, state or federal law. Accordingly, in situations where minimum statutory termination benefits must be paid to the affected employees, the Partnership records employee severance costs associated with these activities in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation—Nonretirement Post-Employment Benefits. In all other situations where the Partnership pays termination benefits, including supplemental benefits paid in excess of statutory minimum amounts and benefits offered to affected employees based on management’s discretion, the Partnership records these termination costs in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. A liability is recognized for one time termination benefits when the Partnership is committed to i) make payments and the number of affected employees and the benefits received are known to both parties, and ii) terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal and can reasonably estimate such amount.

(k) Stock-Based Compensation
The Parent sponsors a stock option plan in which certain employees of the Partnership are eligible. The Partnership accounts for the stock options issued under the plan as a capital contribution from the Parent. Compensation cost is measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized using a graded vesting schedule over the service period for each tranche.
The Parent also sponsors a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan in which employees of the Partnership participate. The awards issued under this plan are accounted for at fair value and recognized in the statement of operations using a graded vesting schedule over the service period for each tranche. These awards are settled in cash and therefore are classified as liabilities under ASC 718, Stock-based Compensation. At each reporting date between the grant date and the settlement date, the fair value of the liability is re-measured with any changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations for the period.
(l) Leases
The Partnership leases certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. The Partnership evaluates and classifies its leases as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Assets held under capital leases are included in property and equipment. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Landlord incentives are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable lease.
(m) Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs incurred directly by the Partnership were $3.5 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, research and development costs incurred by the Parent and allocated to the Partnership were $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
(n) Income Taxes
The Partnership is a limited partnership and, therefore, is not liable for entity-level federal income taxes. It is not subject to any state and local income taxes. The Partnership’s operating results are included in Trican Delaware Inc.’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns.
(4) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Loss, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with a modified- retrospective approach to be used for implementation. ASU 2016-13 changes several aspects of accounting for credit losses on assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The Partnership does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its financial position and results of operations.
F-13

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with a cumulative-effect and prospective approach to be used for implementation. ASU 2016-09 changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements and classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The Partnership is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, with a modified retrospective approach to be used for implementation. ASU 2016-02 updates the previous lease guidance by requiring the recognition of a right-to-use asset and lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases under the old guidance. In addition, ASU 2016-02 updates the criteria for a lessee’s classification of a finance lease. The Partnership is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on our financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which requires that inventory measured using FIFO or average cost be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The ASU also requires amortization of debt issuance costs to be reported as interest expense. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Partnership will implement the provisions of ASU 2015-03, retrospectively, effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial condition.
In January 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding extraordinary items. The guidance eliminates the concept and presentation requirements for extraordinary items and issuers are no longer required to evaluate and present separately any transaction which is unusual and infrequent. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Partnership does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2017, and is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

The above balances do not include the fully amortized customer list intangible of $9.1 million. As a result of a decline in commodity prices during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Partnership tested the intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2014. No impairment was recorded because the fair value of the asset group was higher than the carrying amount. As of December 31, 2015 both intangible assets were fully amortized.
(8) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Due to impact of the sharp decline in commodity prices during the fourth quarter of 2014 on the demand for the Partnership’s services, Partnership has determined that triggering event existed and performed an impairment testing of its long-lived asset impairment as of December 31, 2014.
No impairment was recorded in 2014 because under the Step 1 of the impairment assessment the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows of each asset group was higher than each respective carrying amount.
The Partnership tested its long-lived assets for impairment as of December 31, 2015, due to the continued decline in commodity prices and excess pressure pumping supply in the market, which were deemed triggering events. The Partnership tested property and equipment for recoverability by comparing the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of each asset group.
As of December 31, 2015, the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows was less than the carrying amount for each of the three asset groups. The Partnership measured the amount of impairment by comparing the fair value of each asset group to the carrying amount. The Partnership measured the fair value of its property and equipment using the discounted cash flow method using Level 3 unobservable inputs, incorporating market participant assumptions. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of projected revenue growth, fleet count, utilization, gross margin rates, SG&A rates, working capital fluctuations, maintenance capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates. As a result, the following impairment charges were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015:
• | The Partnership identified that the fair value of the cementing asset group was below its carrying amount. An impairment charge of $14.9 million was recorded against property and equipment related to this asset group. As a result of the impairment the carrying amount of this asset group has been reduced to fair value of $10.1 million. |
• | The Partnership identified that the fair value of the coiled tubing asset group was below its carrying amount. An impairment charge of $12.3 million was recorded against property and equipment related to this asset group. As a result of the impairment the carrying amount of this asset group has been reduced to fair value of $6.1 million. |

• | The Partnership identified that the fair value of the fracturing and other asset group was below its carrying amount. An impairment charge of $219.4 million was recorded against property and equipment related to this asset group. As a result of the impairment the carrying amount of this asset group has been reduced to fair value of $201.4 million. |
The commodity price environment has created considerable uncertainty as to the level of activity that will be undertaken by several of the Partnership’s customers and considerably increases the estimation uncertainty associated with the future cash flows used in the impairment tests. Assumptions that are valid at the time of preparing the cash flow models may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)
The Parent is a borrower under the 2015 Amended Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility (“RCF”) to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions. The Partnership, being one of the subsidiaries of the Parent, is able to draw upon the RCF in the United States to fund its local operations.
All borrowings under the RCF bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at the applicable prime rate, Banker’s acceptance rate, or LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5% to 6.25%, dependent on certain financial ratios of the Partnership as outlined in the Credit Agreement. Draws under the RCF outstanding at December 31, 2015 carry interest at rates ranging from 4.77% to 4.92% per annum with maturities on dates ranging from January 7, 2016 to February 1, 2016. Draws under the RCF outstanding at December 31, 2014 carry interest at rates from 3.41% to 3.48% per annum with maturities on dates ranging from January 8, 2015 to February 24, 2015. Upon maturity of each draw the Partnership can roll it over to the next 30 to 90 day period or pay it down. The total undrawn commitment on the RCF available to the Partnership was $92.4 million and $22.8 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The undrawn commitment fee was 0.73% at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The final maturity of the RCF is October 18, 2018.
As part of the Credit Agreement, the Partnership as a restricted subsidiary of the Parent entered into a loan guarantee with the lenders. Restricted subsidiaries are all subsidiaries which are wholly owned by the Parent as further defined in the Credit Agreement and include Trican Well Service, L.P., Canadian Oilfield Stimulation Services Ltd., Birchwood Industries Ltd., Northline Energy Ltd., Trican Geological Solutions Ltd., Trican Partnership, Trican Completion Solutions Ltd., Trican Completion Solutions LLC, TriLib Management LLC, Trican Delaware Inc., Northline Energy Services Inc. and Trican, LLC.

accordance with the loan guarantee, the Partnership along with all other restricted subsidiaries listed above that are obligors on the Credit Agreement guarantees all of the lender secured obligations, whereby the Partnership absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocable guarantees to the lenders the due and punctual payment, discharge and full performance of all guaranteed obligations owing by any obligor to any and all of the lender secured parties, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition, all North American assets of the Parent including any material real property and title goods including those of the Partnership were pledged as collateral under the Credit Agreement.
In addition, the Parent must comply with all covenants as outlined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains various customary representations and warranties. As of December 31, 2015, the Parent was in compliance with all covenants under the 2015 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2014, the Parent was in compliance with covenants under the 2014 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Capital Leases
The Partnership entered into several capital leases of office equipment and vehicles. These capital lease obligations are presented as separate line items in the financial statements, have lease terms that range from 36 to 60 months and interest rates that range from 2.25% to 3.75%. The outstanding capital lease obligation balance is $4.6 million and $7.9 million as at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Depreciation of assets held under capital leases is included within depreciation expense.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation
Overview of Share-Based Payment Plans
The Parent of the Partnership granted share-based awards to certain directors, officers, key employees and consultants of the Partnership in order to provide increased incentive to contribute to the future success of the Partnership. Share-based awards were issued to the key employees and directors in the form of stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) under the provisions of the 2010 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”) and 2010 Restricted Share Unit Plan (“RSU Plan”), respectively.

Stock Option Plan:
Stock options may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Parent, and all officers and employees of the Partnership are eligible for participation in the Stock Option Plan. The option strike price equals the volume-weighted-average closing price of the Parent’s shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, for the five trading days preceding the date of grant. Options granted in 2010 and thereafter vest in three equal tranches on each of the first, second and third anniversary dates and expire five years from the date of grant. The Parent usually issues new shares to employees upon the exercise of vested stock options.
The Partnership records equity classified stock-based awards, granted to its employees by its Parent as a capital contribution from the Parent and recognizes related compensation in its statement of operations. The Partnership recognized compensation expense associated with stock options of $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts were recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the Partnership’s statements of operations.
Total unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options is $0.1 million at December 31, 2015 and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted in 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

Restricted Stock Unit Plan:
Restricted stock units are classified as liability awards as they are cash settled. Under the terms of the RSU Plan, the RSUs awarded vest in three equal portions on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date and are settled in cash in the amount equal to the volume-weighted-average trading price for the twenty trading days preceding the particular vesting date of the award. The fair value of the RSUs is expensed into income over the vesting period using the graded vesting schedule. At each reporting date between grant date and settlement, the fair value of the liability is re-measured with any changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations during the period. All officers and employees of the Partnership are eligible for participation in the plan.
The Partnership recognized share-based payment reversal (expense) associated with the vesting of RSUs of $0.8 million and ($0.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the statement of operations.
Total unrecognized share-based payment expense was $0.2 million at December 31, 2015 and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

(11) Operating Leases
The Partnership has certain non-cancelable operating leases for rail cars, office facilities and other equipment. Certain rail car leases require additional rental payments for the use of rail cars in excess of the allowable mileage stated in the respective agreement.
Certain leases include incentives during the buildout period and escalation clauses for adjusting rental payments to reflect changes in price indices. These leases generally contain renewal options and require the lessee to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses in addition to the minimum annual rentals.
Landlord allowances are generally comprised of amounts received and/or promised to the Partnership by landlords and may be received in the form of cash or free rent. Rental expense related to operating leases of properties and rail cars was $6.1 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Partnership is subject to legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations, claims and actions.
Sand Storage LLC Settlement—The Partnership was found to be in breach of a sand storage contract in Mathis with Sand Storage LLC. The claim was settled in January 2016 for $0.6 million including legal fees and was fully accrued for by the Partnership as of December 31, 2015.
Chesapeake Energy Corp. Settlement—Through an internal investigation it was discovered that the use tax the Partnership had been passing through to Chesapeake Energy Corp. had likely been calculated in error. Chesapeake Energy Corp. approved the settlement letter for $1.5 million, which was fully accrued for by the Partnership as of December 31, 2015.

Huron Minerals LLC—This is an unfiled claim which arises out of an allegation by Huron Minerals LLC that the Partnership owes it for sand not yet taken in 2015 under a four year sand purchase agreement with Huron that expired on December 31, 2015. The Partnership disputes this claim. The arbitration hearing began in early August 2016 and is ongoing. We deem the risk of loss to be at least reasonably possible, but no reliable estimate can be made at this time.
The Partnership’s assessment of the likely outcome of litigation matters is based on its judgment of a number of factors including experience with similar matters, past history, precedents, relevant financial and other evidence and facts specific to the matter. Notwithstanding the uncertainty as to the final outcome, based upon the information currently available to it, the Partnership does not currently believe these matters in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Sales and Use Tax
From time to time, the Partnership undergoes sales and use tax audits in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In addition, the tax regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions are continually changing. Management believes that it has adequately met and provided for taxes based on the Partnership’s interpretation of the relevant tax legislation and regulations.
Long-Term Purchase Commitments
In January 2015, the Partnership entered into three long-term raw material supply agreements for sand to be used in hydraulic fracturing. The Partnership is subject to minimum purchase requirements and must pay penalties in the event of any shortfalls. In 2015, the Partnership did not recognize any shortfalls under these contracts.
Aggregate minimum commitments under these contracts as of December 31, 2015 are as follows:

(14) Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations
The Partnership operates in three service lines: cementing, coiled tubing, and hydraulic fracturing and other, with significant concentrations in the hydraulic fracturing and other asset group. In 2015, sales to hydraulic fracturing customers represented 90% and 92% of the Partnership’s revenue and gross profit, respectively. In 2014, sales to hydraulic fracturing customers represented 91% and 91% of the Partnership’s revenue and gross profit, respectively.

The Partnership depends on its customers’ willingness to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas in the United States, which in turn is affected by current and expected levels of oil and natural gas prices. As a result of depressed oil prices, the energy services industry is currently in a downturn characterized by excess equipment capacity across the U.S. hydraulic fracturing market. This downturn has impacted the demand for the Partnership’s services and its ability to negotiate pricing that will generate desirable margins. Through its impairment analyses, the Partnership determined the remaining carrying values of its long-lived and intangible assets were recoverable based on the Partnership’s forecast model. If industry conditions continue to deteriorate beyond the assumptions in the Partnership’s forecast, it is reasonably possible that this determination could change.
Credit Risk
The Partnership’s financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables.
The Partnership’s cash balances on deposit with financial institutions total $12.8 million and $13.1 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which exceed FDIC insured limits. The Partnership regularly monitors the financial condition of these financial institutions.
The majority of the Partnership’s trade receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less. For the year ended December 31, 2015, trade receivables from three customers individually represented 39%, 23% and 21%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, trade receivables from four customers individually represented 19%, 18%, 17% and 11%, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, revenue from three customers individually represented 24%, 14% and 13% of the Partnership’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2014, revenue from three customers individually represented 17%, 13% and 11% of the Partnership’s revenue. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Partnership’s consolidated revenue in the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because the Partnership performs credit evaluations, sets credit limits, and monitors the payment patterns of its customers. The Partnership carefully evaluates new customers to determine their creditworthiness including review of credit applications, banking authorization forms, credit references and the credit report. The Partnership’s management approves and monitors credit limits for each of its customers.

In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Parent issued a credit memo in the amount of $30.0 million to the Partnership against intercompany balances, which was recorded as a capital contribution from the Parent and reflected within Partners’ Capital. In July 2015 the Parent instructed the Partnership to forgive $1.1 million of intercompany receivables from one of its affiliates, which was recorded as a reduction of intercompany receivables and non-cash capital distribution to the Parent.
In March, 2015 the Parent paid $41.0 million of the RCF on behalf of the Partnership, which was recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and a capital contribution from the Parent.

(16) Subsequent Events
The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through October 20, 2016, the date at which the financial statements were available to be issued.
On January 25, 2016 the Parent entered into a definitive agreement with Keane Group Holdings LLC, a privately held U.S. based oilfield services company, for the sale of Parent’s U.S. pressure pumping business for approximately $200 million in cash, an equity interest in Keane and Class C Profits Interests in Keane that represent an additional economic participation above certain thresholds upon a Keane liquidity event. The Transaction includes the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership. The transaction closed on March 16, 2016.
In conjunction with the Transaction, the Parent also executed the 2016 Amended Credit Agreements with its bank lenders under its RCF and the holders of its Senior Notes to make certain amendments to the applicable credit documentation subject to closing of the U.S. operations sale. The 2016 Amended Credit Agreements include removal of all prior financial covenants until the third quarter of 2016, elimination of the minimum EBITDA and liquidity covenants, and new leverage and interest coverage ratio covenants.
On March 16, 2016 the Partnership fully repaid the outstanding balance on its RCF.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the DGCL, Keane Group, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director.
As permitted by the DGCL, Keane Group, Inc.’s bylaws provide that:
• | Keane Group, Inc. is required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; |
• | Keane Group, Inc. may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL; |
• | Keane Group, Inc. is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; and |
• | the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive. |
Keane Group, Inc. has entered, and intends to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in Keane Group, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of Keane Group, Inc. regarding which indemnification is sought. The indemnification provisions in Keane Group, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into or to be entered into between Keane Group, Inc. and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of Keane Group, Inc.’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Keane Group, Inc. currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(A)(i), (1)(A)(ii) and (1)(A)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(B) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(C) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(D) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(E) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
