Explanatory Note
     This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed solely to attach the correct version of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on February 9, 2011 and incorporated by reference under Item 1.01 therein.
Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On February 3, 2011, Basic Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and certain other initial purchasers party thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), which provides for the sale by the Company of $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Original Notes”) to the Initial Purchasers (the “Offering”). The Original Notes will be jointly and severally, and unconditionally, guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on a senior unsecured basis initially by all of the Company’s current subsidiaries, other than three immaterial subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors,” and together with the Company, the “Issuers”). The Original Notes and the Guarantees will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated February 15, 2011, by and between the Issuers and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee.
     The Initial Purchasers intend to resell the Original Notes and Guarantees (i) inside the United States to “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in private sales exempt from registration under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A, and (ii) to other eligible purchasers pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) in accordance with Regulation S. The Original Notes and Guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
     The purchase price for the Original Notes and Guarantees is 100.000% of their principal amount. The net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $269.5 million, after discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund its pending tender offer and consent solicitation for its existing 11.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and to redeem any of the Senior Secured Notes not purchased in the tender offer, and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
     A copy of the Purchase Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01   Other Events.
     On February 3, 2011, Basic Energy Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing that it had priced the Offering disclosed in Item 1.01 hereof. A copy of the press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
     This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes.
