Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 34,500,000 shares of common stock, par value €0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), Frank’s International N.V., a limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Company”), entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) with Frank’s International C.V., a limited partnership organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“FICV”), and Mosing Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mosing Holdings”). Pursuant to the TRA, Mosing Holdings and its permitted transferees may exchange their FICV Portions (as defined below) for cash accompanied by the conversion of such shares into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions (the “Exchange”).

The TRA generally provides for the payment by the Company of 85% of actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax in periods after the Offering as a result of (i) the basis increases resulting from the Exchanges and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for payment by the Company of interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified in the TRA. The payment obligations under the TRA are the Company’s obligations and are not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA commences on August 14, 2013 and continues until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The payments under the TRA will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either FICV or the Company.

If the Company elects to terminate the TRA early, it would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control.

Payments under the TRA are based on the tax reporting positions that the Company will determine. The holders of rights under the TRA are not required to reimburse the Company for any payments previously made under the TRA if such basis increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any such holder will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, to such holder after the Company’s determination of such excess. Payments under the TRA, if any, will be made pro rata among all parties to the TRA entitled to payments on an annual basis to the extent the Company has sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased tax benefits. The availability of sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased tax benefits will not be determined until such time as the financial results for the year in question are known and tax estimates prepared.

Payments are generally due under the TRA within five days following the determination of the applicable tax benefit, which generally is required to occur within 60 days of the filing of the Company’s tax return for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus 5% from the due date. Except in cases where the Company elects to terminate the TRA early, the TRA is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control or the Company has available cash but fails to make payments when due, generally the Company may elect to defer payments under the TRA if it does not have available cash to satisfy its payment obligations under the TRA or if the Company’s contractual obligations limit its ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments would accrue interest at a rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus 5%. To the extent that the Company is unable to make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, and the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.

The foregoing description of the TRA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the TRA, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Mosing Holdings and FWW B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“FWW”) covering 52,976,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value €0.01 per share (the “Series A preferred stock”) owned by Mosing Holdings and 119,024,000 shares of common stock owned by FWW. Pursuant to this agreement, Mosing Holdings and FWW may cause the Company to register an underwritten offering of their shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and to maintain an effective shelf registration statement with respect to such shares. The Registration Rights Agreement also includes customary provisions dealing with indemnification and allocation of expenses.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

FICV Management Agreement

On August 14, 2013 in connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company entered into the FICV management agreement (the “FICV Management Agreement”) with Frank’s International LP B.V., a private limited partnership organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“FILP”), Frank’s International Management B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“FIBV”) and Mosing Holdings, which constitute the partners in FICV, with respect to the operation and management of FICV in order to facilitate the activities of the Company as a publicly traded company. The FICV Management Agreement provides for the consent of the FICV partners to facilitate (i) the Company’s percentage interest in FICV remaining equal to the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and Series A preferred stock (the “FINV Stock”) represented by the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and (ii) Mosing Holding’s (together with any permitted transferee’s) percentage interest in FICV remaining equal to the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of FINV Stock represented by the Company’s outstanding Series A preferred stock.

The foregoing description of the FICV Management Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FICV Management Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

FICV Limited Partnership Agreement

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Offering, FIBV, and FILP, each wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into amendment number 4 to the limited partnership agreement (the “FICV Partnership Agreement”) of FICV with Mosing Holdings.

Pursuant to the FICV Partnership Agreement, the Company, as the indirect sole shareholder of FIBV, the general partner of FICV, is responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to FICV’s business and will consolidate the financial results of FICV and its subsidiaries. In accordance with the FICV Partnership Agreement, net profits and net losses of FICV will be allocated to its members on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage of interest in FICV.

The FICV Partnership Agreement provides for distributions to be made at the discretion of the general partner on a pro rata basis to the holders of FICV interests for purposes of funding the holders’ tax obligations with respect to the income of FICV allocated to them. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on the Company’s estimate of the taxable income of FICV allocable to a holder of FICV interests multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual resident in Louisiana.

The FICV Partnership Agreement provides for customary mechanisms to ensure that (i) the Company’s indirect percentage interest in FICV will always equal the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of FINV Stock represented by the Company’s outstanding common stock and (ii) Mosing Holding’s (together with any permitted transferee’s) percentage interest in FICV will always equal the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock represented by the Company’s outstanding Series A preferred stock. In this regard, the FICV Partnership Agreement provides that at any time the Company issues a share of its Common Stock, the net proceeds received by the Company with respect to such share, if any, shall be concurrently transferred to FICV and FICV will issue to the Company an additional percentage interest in FICV such that the Company’s total interest in FICV will be equal to (i) the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding divided by (ii) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of FINV Stock, in each case taking into account the newly issued shares of Common Stock. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock are redeemed, FICV shall, immediately prior to such redemption, redeem a proportionate percentage of interest in FICV held indirectly by the Company, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of the Company’s Common Stock are redeemed.

For purposes of any transfer or exchange of Series A preferred stock and limited partnership interest in FICV, the FICV Partnership Agreement contains provisions linking each share of Series A preferred stock to a proportionate portion of the limited partnership interest in FICV held by Mosing Holdings or its permitted transferee, which portion at any time will equal the total limited partnership interest in FICV held by Mosing Holdings or its permitted transferee divided by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company (each such portion being referred to as an “FICV Portion”). Mosing Holdings (or any of its permitted transferees) has the right to convert all or a portion of its Series A preferred stock into the Company’s Common Stock by delivery to the Company of an equivalent number of FICV Portions. In connection with such conversion, Mosing Holdings or its permitted transferees are entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to the par value of each share of Series A preferred stock so converted plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. The above mechanism is subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

The foregoing description of the FICV Partnership Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FICV Partnership Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Credit Agreements

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Offering, FICV (as borrower) entered into two revolving credit facilities with Amegy Bank National Association (as administrative agent), Capital One, National Association (as syndication agent) and certain other financial institutions named therein. The credit agreements provide for (i) a $100 million revolving credit facility, including up to $20 million for letters of credit and up to $10 million in swingline loans, which will mature in July 2018 (the “Five Year Facility”) and (ii) a $100 million revolving credit facility that will mature in July 2014 (the “One Year Facility” and, together with the Five Year Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Subject to the terms of the credit agreements, the Company has the ability to increase the commitments under the Credit Facilities by $150 million.

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either a base rate or an Adjusted Eurodollar rate. Base rate loans under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate based off of the higher of (a) the Prime Rate as published from time to time in the Bonds, Rates & Yields section of The Wall Street Journal, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% or (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% (determined with reference to the Company’s leverage ratio). Interest is payable quarterly for base-rate loans. Eurodollar loans under the Credit Facilities bear interest at an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserves, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% (determined with reference to the Company’s leverage ratio). Interest is payable at the end of applicable interest periods for Eurodollar loans, except that if the interest period for a Eurodollar loan is longer than three months, interest is paid at the end of each three-month period. The timing of the required interest payments does not affect the calculation of the interest on the Eurodollar loans. The unused portion of the Five Year Facility is subject to a commitment fee of up to 0.375%.

The credit agreements contain various covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, enter into mergers or acquisition, enter into hedging transactions, change its lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions, incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain asset dispositions. Additionally, the credit agreements limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness subject to certain exceptions. The credit agreements also contain financial covenants, which, among other things, require the Company, on a consolidated basis, to maintain (i) a total consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facilities) ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.0; and (ii) an EBITDA to interest expense ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, the Credit Facilities contains customary events of default, including, among others (a) representations and warranties in the credit agreements or other loan documents being incorrect or misleading in any material respect; (b) failure to pay any principal when due or any interest, fees or other amount within certain grace periods; (c) failure to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants in the credit agreements or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to grace periods; (d) the actual or asserted invalidity of any material provisions of the guarantees of the indebtedness under the credit agreements; (e) default by the Company or its restricted subsidiaries on the payment of any other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $10 million, any default in the performance of any obligation or condition with respect to such indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period if the effect of the default is to permit or cause the acceleration of the indebtedness, or such indebtedness will be declared due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity; (f) bankruptcy or insolvency events involving the Company or its restricted subsidiaries; (g) the entry, and failure to pay, of one or more adverse judgments in excess of $10 million, upon which enforcement proceedings are commenced or that are not stayed pending appeal; and (h) the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Credit Facilities).

The foregoing description of the Credit Facilities is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facilities, which are attached as Exhibit 10.5 and Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company’s board of directors approved the adoption of the Frank’s International N.V. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP), which will become effective January 1, 2014 and which will enable eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a discount. Purchases will be accomplished through participation in discrete offering periods. This ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to adjustment, the ESPP limits the number of shares that may be purchased to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted to any single participant in any single option period will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the plan.

The foregoing description of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
