Item 1.01.                                        Entry Into Material Definitive Agreements.

Amendment to Credit Facility

On June 30, 2018, Dawson Geophysical Company (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) for the purpose of amending and extending the Company’s line of credit with its lender, Veritex Community Bank, a Texas state bank (“Veritex Bank”).  The Amended Loan Agreement continues to provide for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an amount up to the lesser of (i) $20,000,000 or (ii) a sum equal to (a) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (less the outstanding principal balance of term loans and letters of credit under the Amended Loan Agreement) and (b) the lesser of (i) 50% of the value of certain of the Company’s core equipment or (ii) $12,500,000.  The Revolving Credit Facility now matures on June 30, 2019, which date was extended in the Amended Loan Agreement from a previous maturity of June 30, 2018. As of this date, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company continues to be obligated to meet certain financial covenants quarterly, including maintaining a minimum tangible net worth. The Amended Loan Agreement now provides that the Company will maintain a required tangible net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and maintain a minimum liabilities to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 1.00 to 1.00. The remaining terms and conditions of the Amended Loan Agreement generally continue in the form existing prior to the Amendment.

Additionally, on November 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Veritex Bank (the “Fourteenth Amendment”). The Fourteenth Amendment amended the payment schedule of a letter of credit issued by Veritex Bank at the Company’s request. A copy of the Fourteenth Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

The foregoing descriptions of each of the Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.
