Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Note Purchase Agreement

On February 2, 2022, the Issuer entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with ProFrac Holdings and certain institutional investors (collectively, the Purchasers), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell in a private placement (the Offering) approximately $21.2 million in principal amount of the Notes convertible into shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock at a nominal price (the Pre-Funded Warrants) in limited circumstances as described in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes). The closing of the Offering happened contemporaneously with the execution of the Note Purchase Agreement. The proceeds from the Offering will be used for liquidity and general corporate purposes.

Each holder of the Notes, including ProFrac Holdings, may convert all or any portion of its Notes into Common Stock at a price of $1.088125 per share (the Conversion Price) at any time prior to the maturity date. Interest on the Notes will begin to accrue on the unpaid principal balance commencing on the closing date at the rate of 10% per annum, payable in incremental Notes.

 

Page 8

Accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will be due and payable on the maturity date on February 2, 2023, which is the first anniversary of the closing date, at which date, subject to certain exceptions, the Notes are mandatorily converted and payable in shares of Common Stock at the lesser of the Conversion Price and $0.8705 per share. In the event of a change of control of the Issuer, each holder of Notes will have the option to convert the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest thereon into shares of Common Stock at the lesser of the Conversion Price and $0.8705 per share, or redeem the Notes for cash at their outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with the amount of interest that, but for the redemption, would have accrued to the maturity date. In addition, the Notes may be converted by the Issuer if (i) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the greater of $2.50 per share or $1.741 for 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes are then registered for resale pursuant to a then effective registration statement. The Conversion Price will be adjusted in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuer and the Purchasers.

The Notes contain an ownership limitation that limits the conversion of the Notes into Common Stock to the extent conversion would cause the beneficial ownership of any Purchaser to exceed 19.9% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Note, in which case the excess Notes will convert into Pre-Funded Warrants with a similar ownership limitation.

Registration Rights Agreement

On February 2, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Offering and pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with ProFrac Holdings and the other Purchasers party thereto relating to the registration of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes (including both the Notes issued in the Offering and the Notes issued in connection with the execution and delivery of that certain Supply Agreement as discussed below) and issued or issuable pursuant to the Pre-Funded Warrants (including any shares issued as or issuable upon the conversion or redemption as dividend or distribution of such shares) (the Registrable Securities).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on or before 120 days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (the Shelf Registration Statement), and to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective no later than four months following the initial filing of the Shelf Registration Statement. In certain circumstances and subject to customary qualifications and limitations, the holders of Registrable Securities will have piggyback registration rights on offerings of Common Stock initiated by the Issuer, among other rights as described in the Registration Rights Agreement, and selling Purchasers will have rights to request that the Issuer initiate an Underwritten Offering (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of Registrable Securities in any 365-day period.

Chemical Products Supply Agreement

On February 2, 2022, ProFrac Services and Flotek Chemistry, LLC (Flotek Chemistry), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, entered into a Chemical Products Supply Agreement (the Supply Agreement), pursuant to which ProFrac Services will purchase certain products and services from Flotek Chemistry for three years. Under the Supply Agreement, ProFrac Services is obligated to purchase a minimum amount of chemicals over the term equal to the greater of (i) a baseline determined by reference to ProFrac Servicess first ten frac fleets deployed and (ii) 33% of ProFrac Servicess requirements. Should ProFrac Services fail to purchase the minimum amount of chemicals in any given year, ProFrac Services is obligated to pay to Flotek Chemistry liquidated damages equal to 25% of the shortfall for such year. As part of the economic value of the long-term revenue commitment from ProFrac Services contained in the Supply Agreement, the Issuer issued and sold to ProFrac Holdings, simultaneously with the Offering, $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes. These Additional Notes were issued and sold to ProFrac Holdings in addition to the Initial Notes purchased in cash by ProFrac Holdings as one of the Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Supply Agreement became effective as of February 2, 2022 and has a term of three years from April 1, 2022, the supply start date, subject to, among other things, early termination pursuant to the termination provisions of the Supply Agreement. Upon mutual agreement, Flotek Chemistry and ProFrac Services may extend the term of the Supply Agreement.

Master Transaction Agreement

On February 2, 2022, ProFrac Holdings and the Issuer entered into the Master Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the Issuer and ProFrac Holdings specified the issuance and sale of the Additional Notes (as described above), which purchase price payable was deemed paid in full in consideration of the execution of the Supply Agreement; and (ii) ProFrac Holdings was granted the right to designate two designees to serve on the Issuers board of directors (the Board), neither of whom have been designated as of the filing date of this Schedule 13D.

The foregoing descriptions of the Notes, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Supply Agreement and the Master Transaction Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Form of Notes, the Form of Pre-Funded Warrants, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Supply Agreement, and the Master Transaction Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 1 through 6 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities covered by this Schedule 13D in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, the Supply Agreement and the Master Transaction Agreement.

While there can be no assurance any such extension will be consummated, such negotiation may result in an extension, amendment, restatement, or other modification of the Supply Agreement, and may result in the issuance of additional Notes and/or other securities of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons. In addition, depending upon overall market conditions, changes in the Issuers operations, business strategy or prospects, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of any such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer in the open market, private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuers financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may consider, explore and/or develop plans regarding the Issuer in addition to the matters discussed above, and may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in other communications with the Issuers management and Board, engaging in discussions with other securityholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capital allocation strategy, capitalization, ownership structure, strategic transactions, including business combinations, a sale of the Issuer as a whole or in parts or acquisitions or investments by the Issuer, increased representation or designation rights of the Reporting Persons on the Board, Board structure (including Board composition), operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional securities of the Issuer, selling some or all of their Issuer securities, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to securities of the Issuer, or taking any other actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer permitted by law, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
