Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 8, 2018 Smart Sand, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Quickthree Solutions, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada (“Quickthree”), the majority shareholders of Quickthree, and Quickthree Technology, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Quickthree is a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada based manufacturer and distributor of portable vertical frac sand storage solutions serving the oil and gas exploration and development industry.

The Agreement provides for our wholly-owned subsidiary to purchase substantially all of the assets of Quickthree for an aggregate purchase price of up to $42.75 million consisting of $30 million payable at closing, subject to adjustment based on Quickthree’s closing date working capital, and up to $12.75 million in potential earn-out payments over a three-year period. Payment of the earn-out is based upon the production of silos and related equipment during the earn-out period. The purchase price will be paid using both cash on hand and advances under our credit facility.

We have the option of paying $5 million of the purchase price due at closing through the issuance of 728,004 shares of our common valued at $6.8681 per share, the volume weighted average trading price of our common stock over the twenty trading days preceding the date of the Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”). If we issue the Stock Consideration, we have agreed to file a registration statement to permit the pubic resale of the shares comprising the Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of a standard and customary registration rights agreement to be executed at closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Quickthree may elect to receive cash in lieu of the Stock Consideration in incremental amounts if we are unable to register the shares comprising the Stock Consideration within 120 days after closing.

The Agreement contains standard and customary representations, warranties, covenants agreements, escrows and indemnitees. Closing of the Agreement is conditioned upon satisfaction of standard and customary closing conditions (including acceptance by certain key Quickthree personnel of our offer of employment) which must be completed by May 31, 2018, subject to extension for up to an additional thirty days if certain conditions are not satisfied by that time.

We have agreed to offer employment to all employees of Quickthree.

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.






Item 3.02    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information provided under Item 1.01 describing the issuance of the Stock Consideration is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of our common stock comprising the Stock Consideration will be issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), without general solicitation or advertising of any kind and without payment of placement agent or brokerage fees to any person.
