Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 27, 2018, in connection with its proposed acquisitions of Gulf Energy SAOC and National Petroleum Services (“NPS”) (such acquisitions, the “Business Combination”), National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (the “Company” or “NESR”) entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with MEA Energy Investment Company 2 Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the “Investor”).

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell the Company’s ordinary shares (“Shares”) at the closing of the Business Combination to the Investor or its designees and commonly controlled affiliates, including co-investment funds controlled by Investor or its affiliates. The Company agreed to sell Shares for a total price of up to $150 million, consisting of (i) a primary placement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 7,000,000 Shares at $10.00 per share for a total drawdown of $70 million; and (ii) at the Company’s election, a secondary placement, pursuant to which the Company will have the option to draw, in one or more installments, up to an additional $80 million by selling up to 7,114,906 Shares at $11.244 per share. The proceeds in the secondary placement may be taken, drawing at least $30 million on the first draw and at least $12.5 million in subsequent draws. All draw notices must be given with 3-10 business days’ advance written notice, with the applicable closing to occur on or within 3 months after the Business Combination. Such proceeds will (i) offset any capital used for shareholder redemptions; (ii) fund the cash portion of the consideration to certain shareholders of NPS and transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination; or (iii) be used for other corporate purposes, including satisfaction of its minimum cash requirements immediately following the Business Combination.

 

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to the approval by NESR shareholders of the Business Combination and the issuance of any Shares in excess of 20% of NESR’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, as well as certain standard closing conditions. The Investor has agreed to vote any Shares it owns in favor of the Business Combination.

 

The Company and Investor also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement to grant the Investor certain rights to register the resale of any Shares pursuant to the Agreement after the Business Combination.

 

The Investor is wholly owned by Waha Capital PJSC (“Waha”). As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2017 (the “November 2017 8-K”), the Company entered into a Relationship Agreement with an affiliate of Waha (the “Relationship Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed that Waha is entitled to nominate one person to NESR’s board of directors, so long as Waha and its affiliates continue to hold at least 50% of the total number of NESR shares acquired pursuant to the NPS Stock Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the November 2017 8-K). As currently contemplated, Waha intends to nominate Adnan Ghabris to serve on NESR’s board following the Business Combination. The Agreement contains a similar provision as the Relationship Agreement, entitling the Investor to nominate one person to NESR’s board for as long as it directly owns at least 7,057,453 Shares and Adnan Ghabris is not otherwise nominated to the board; provided, however, that such nominating right shall terminate if and when the Investor fails to deliver the required purchase price in any drawdown of a secondary placement.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

In connection with the Agreement, and as described in more detail in Item 1.01 of this Current Report, the Company intends to issue up to 14,114,906 ordinary shares to the Investor. The Shares to be issued will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.
