Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

Second Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement

As previously announced, on September 29, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, including SESI, L.L.C. (“SESI”) (collectively, the “Company”), entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, which was amended by that certain First Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement dated as of October 14, 2020 (as so amended, the “RSA”), with certain holders (collectively, the “Consenting Noteholders”) of SESI’s outstanding (i) 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and (ii) 7.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024. As set forth in the RSA, the parties to the RSA have agreed to the principal terms of a proposed financial restructuring (the “Transaction”) of the Company, which is contemplated to be implemented through a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

On October 22, 2020, the Company and the Consenting Noteholders entered into the Second Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Second RSA Amendment” and the RSA, as amended by the Second RSA Amendment, the “Amended RSA”), which amends and restates section 4 of the RSA in its entirety by extending the following milestones (the “Milestones”) as described below. The Required Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Amended RSA) may extend or waive the Milestones in writing.

• Commencement of solicitation of votes on the Plan (as defined in the Amended RSA) no later than November 2, 2020 (extended from the original October 21, 2020 deadline);

• Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined in the Amended RSA) no later than November 3, 2020 (extended from the original October 22, 2020 deadline);

• Filing of the Plan, the related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), and a motion seeking to schedule a combined hearing on the Plan and the Disclosure Statement (the “Combined Hearing Motion”), no later than November 4, 2020 (extended from the original October 23, 2020 deadline);

• Entry of an order by the bankruptcy court granting the relief requested in the Combined Hearing Motion no later than November 9, 2020 (extended from the original October 27, 2020 deadline);

• Entry of an order confirming the Plan and approving the Disclosure Statement no later than December 8, 2020 (extended from the original November 26, 2020 deadline); and

• The occurrence of the effective date of the Plan no later than December 18, 2020 (extended from the original December 10, 2020 deadline).

Although the Company intends to pursue the Transaction in accordance with the terms set forth in the Amended RSA, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the Transaction, whether on the same or different terms, including the Milestones.

The foregoing description of the Second RSA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second RSA Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
