Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On March 22, 2015, Emerge Energy Services LP (the “Partnership”) notified The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that Peter Jones, a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Emerge Energy Services GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”),  had ceased to be independent within the meaning of Section 303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and SEC Rule 10A-3 incorporated into that listing standard, as a result of Mr. Jones’s employment as an executive officer of a company affiliated with the Partnership.

Effective March 20, 2015, Mr. Jones resigned from the Audit Committee, and, as a result, the Partnership was not in compliance with the requirement of Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that audit committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. Mr. Jones continues as a director of our General Partner and meets the NYSE independence standards applicable to a director who is not an audit committee member.  On March 23, 2015, the Partnership received an official notice from the NYSE with respect to this deficiency.

Effective March 25, 2015, Mr. Mark Gottfredson was appointed as an independent director of the General Partner and the Board appointed Mr. Gottfredson as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.  SEC Rule 10A-3 imposes additional independence requirements for members of audit committees, and Mr. Gottfredson meets these additional independence requirements, in addition to the independence requirements generally applicable to independent directors.

The Partnership reported to the NYSE on March 25, 2015, that the Partnership is as of that date in compliance with the audit committee and other corporate governance requirements of the NYSE listing standards.

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

The Partnership announced that effective March 25, 2015, Mr. Gottfredson has been appointed to the Board as an independent director. Mr. Gottfredson was also appointed as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.

Mark Gottfredson is a director of Bain & Company’s office in Dallas, Texas, which he founded in 1990. Throughout his career, he has advised chief executives and top-level managers in a wide range of industries. He has served in a number of leadership positions at Bain & Company including as a member of the board of directors and as the Global Head of Bain’s Performance Improvement Practice.  In 2005, Mr. Gottfredson was named to Consulting Magazines list of Top 25 Consultants globally. He has been published extensively in publications such as the Harvard Business Review, European Strategy and the World Business Review. His book for general managers, called “The Breakthrough Imperative” and published by Harper Collins, debuted in spring 2008.

Mr. Gottfredson serves on a number of for profit and non-profit boards, including Vista Outdoor Inc., TBM Consulting Group, the Circle 10 Council with the Boy Scouts of America, the Longhorn Council for the Boy Scouts of America, the BYU Marriot School National Advisory Council and Bain and Company. Mr. Gottfredson obtained his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1981, where he graduated with high distinction and was named a Baker Scholar. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University in Japanese, where he graduated magna cum laude.  Mr. Gottfredson was selected to serve on the Board of the General Partner due to his advisory experience and financial and business expertise.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Gottfredson and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as a director, and there are no relationships between Mr. Gottfredson and the Partnership or the General Partner that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with his appointment to the Board, it is expected that Mr. Mr. Gottfredson will receive a grant of restricted units covering a number of units having a value equal to $12,500 for his partial year of

service on the Board, under the Partnership’s Director Compensation Plan, which will fully vest on May 14, 2015. Mr. Gottfredson will receive an annual retainer of $52,500 for his services on the Board, and beginning on May 14, 2015 and annually thereafter, will be eligible to receive an annual grant of phantom units with a value of $75,000 to the extent he continues to serve on the Board. The annual grant will be made pursuant to the terms of the Director Compensation Plan and will fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Mr. Gottfredson will also enter into an indemnification agreement with the General Partner, the form of which has been previously filed.
