(d) Election of New Director

Effective March 5, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cypress Energy Partners GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. (“Cypress”), appointed Stanley Lybarger to serve as an independent director of the General Partner and member of each of the Audit Committee and Conflicts Committee of the Board. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lybarger and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Lybarger and any executive officer or director of the General Partner or Cypress.

The Board has determined that (i) Mr. Lybarger is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) Mr. Lybarger has no material relationship with the General Partner or the Partnership that would interfere with his independence from management of the General Partner and that each will otherwise be an “independent director” for purposes of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual.
