KLX Energy Services Announces Effectiveness of 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split and Related Adjustment to Exchange Ratio for Merger
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among KLXE, QES,
On
The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of KLXE’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under KLXE’s Long Term Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The reverse stock split does not affect the number of authorized shares of KLXE’s common stock. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of KLXE’s outstanding common stock from approximately 24.9 million to approximately 5.0 million, prior to closing of the merger. The reverse stock split will not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of preferred stock of KLXE.
The reverse stock split will affect all holders of common stock uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in KLXE, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split; stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of common stock will be entitled to receive a proportional cash payment.
KLXE’s transfer agent, Computershare, is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, Computershare will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for shares held in book-entry form representing the post-split number of shares. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions.
