KEGX Common Stock (CE)

On October 21, Key Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tri-State Water Logistics, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Tri-State”), pursuant to which Tri-State acquired certain assets related to the Company’s waste water management division, which provides water management services to oil and gas operators in East Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana (the “Assets”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold the Assets in exchange for cash consideration of $6,000,000 and a $940,000 seller secured promissory note. The Assets include, among other things: (i) saltwater disposal wells, (ii) real property, (iii) government permits, (iv) equipment related to the Assets, and (v) service vehicles. The Purchase Agreement contains negotiated representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Tri-State, which are believed to be customary for transactions of this kind. These representations and warranties (i) may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (ii) may apply materiality standards different from what may be viewed as material to investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or as of such other date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement.

In addition, the Purchase Agreement contains indemnification provisions which are believed to be customary for transactions of this type. The Company’s and Tri-State’s obligations for a breach of representations and warranties and related indemnification, in some cases, only apply with respect to aggregate liabilities in excess of specified thresholds, are subject to caps and are only effective for specified periods of time.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
