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

On July 24, 2018, Mark A. McCollum notified Archrock, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation from the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee on such date.  Mr. McCollum informed the Board that his resignation was due to his obligations as president and chief executive officer of Weatherford International plc and not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

In addition, on July 25, 2018, Edmund P. Segner, III was appointed to the Board to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. McCollum’s resignation.  The Board has determined that Mr. Segner meets the independence requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s independence standards.  Mr. Segner will also serve as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee.  Mr. Segner’s addition to the Board is effective as of July 25, 2018.

Mr. Segner, 64, previously served as a director of Archrock GP LLC, the managing general partner of Archrock Partners, L.P. (“APLP”), from 2009 until APLP’s merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in April 2018.  Mr. Segner is a Professor in the Practice of Engineering Management in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University (Houston). Mr. Segner retired from EOG Resources, Inc. (a publicly traded independent oil and gas exploration and production company) in 2008, having served as president, chief of staff and director from 1999 to 2007 and as principal financial officer from 2003 to 2007. He currently serves as director, chairman of the reserves and environment, health and safety committee and member of the audit and compensation committees of HighPoint Resources Corporation (a company engaged in exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.) and as lead director, audit committee chair and member of the nominating and governance committee of Laredo Petroleum, Inc. (a company focused on the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the Permian region of the U.S.).

There are no family relationships between Mr. Segner and any director or other executive officer of the Company nor are there any transactions between Mr. Segner or any member of his immediate family and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would be reportable as a related party transaction under the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Further, there is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Segner and any other persons or entities pursuant to which Mr. Segner was appointed as a director of the Company.

Upon his appointment to the Board, Mr. Segner became entitled to a pro-rated portion of the Company’s non-employee director compensation. The specific terms of the Company’s non-employee director compensation arrangements are described further in the Company’s annual proxy statement that was filed with the Commission on March 21, 2018.
