Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

Chapter 11 Filing

 

As previously disclosed, on August 17, 2021, Basic Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Basic Energy Services, Inc., et al., Case No. 21-90002 (DRJ).

 

Asset Purchase Agreements

 

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors entered certain asset purchase agreements (each, an Asset Purchase Agreement,” and collectively, the “Asset Purchase Agreements”) between certain of the Debtors and Berry Corporation (bry) (“Berry”), Ranger Energy Acquisition, LLC (“Ranger”), and Select Energy Services, LLC (“Select”) (collectively, the Buyers,” and such sale transactions, the “Sale Transactions”) to sell substantially all of their assets on a going concern basis.

 

On October 1, 2021, the Sale Transactions were consummated. The Asset Purchase Agreements Contemplate:

 

Berry:  A sale to Berry of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets associated with their California business (collectively, the “California Assets”), for total consideration of $43 million (increased from $27 million under the Stalking Horse Bid for such assets), plus other valuable consideration, including (i) the commitment to employ at least 95% of the Debtors’ employees associated with the California Assets and (ii) the purchase of all Acquired Accounts Receivable related to the California Assets of approximately $15 million and assumption of certain Assumed Prepetition Accounts Payable of approximately $4 million;

 

Ranger: A sale to Ranger of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets associated with their well servicing and completion and remedial segment located outside of California for total consideration of $36.65 million (increased from $25 million under the Stalking Horse Bid for such assets); and

 

Select:  A sale to Select of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets associated with their water logistics segment located outside of California for total consideration of $20 million, plus other valuable consideration, including the purchase of Accounts Receivable of approximately $6 million and the assumption of certain Customer Lienable Prepetition Accounts Payable and Assumed Postpetition Accounts Payable of approximately $1 million.

 

A copy of each of the Asset Purchase Agreements was filed with the Bankruptcy Court, along with a motion seeking, among other relief, the establishment of bidding procedures for an auction that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers to purchase all or a portion of the water logistic assets (collectively, the “Bidding Procedures”). The descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreements set forth above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the respective Asset Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined above shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Bidding Procedures or the Asset Purchase Agreements.

 

Based on the consideration to be received from the Sale Transactions for substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Company expects that, after paying off the administrative, secured, and priority creditors, and providing for winding down Company operations, there will be limited proceeds available for distribution for unsecured claims and no proceeds to distribute to the Company’s shareholders.

 

 C: 

 

 

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information regarding the Asset Purchase Agreements set forth in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(b)

 

On October 5, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Sale Transactions: Keith L. Schilling resigned as the Company’s President, and Chief Executive Officer; Adam Hurley resigned as the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary; and James F. Newman resigned as the Company’s Executive Vice President – Operations.

 

On October 1, 2021, Messrs. Schilling, Hurley and Newman each entered into consulting agreements with the Company to provide certain transition services in connection with the Sales Transactions and to oversee the wind-down of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

(c)

 

On October 7, Robert Reeb, the Company's General Counsel, was appointed President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer, and Treasurer of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Reeb's appointment was consistent with the Company's by-laws.
