Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financ
On August 11, 2009, Flotek Industries, Inc. (the "Company") entered into
separate unit purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") with certain
accredited investors (the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to
sell in a private placement an aggregate of 16,000 units (the "Units") at a
purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, yielding aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $16,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of (i) one share of cumulative
redeemable convertible preferred stock of the Company (the "Preferred Stock"),
(ii) warrants to purchase up to 155 shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Common Stock") at an exercise price of $2.31 per share (the "$2.31 Warrants")
and (iii) contingent warrants to purchase up to 500 shares of Common Stock of
the Company at an exercise price of $2.45 per share (the "Contingent Warrants"
and together with the $2.31 Warrants, the "Warrants"). For a summary of the
terms of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants, please see "The Preferred Stock"
and "The Warrants," below. There are no material relationships between the
Company the Purchasers other than in respect of the Purchase Agreements.
The closing of the sale of the Units in the private placement is expected to occur on August 11, 2009.
The Purchase Agreements contain representations and warranties, covenants and
indemnification provisions that are typical for private placements by public
companies, including representations and warranties regarding: (1) due
incorporation, valid existence and good standing; (2) capitalization;
(3) reservation of shares of Common Stock for the conversion and exercise of the
Preferred Stock and the $2.31 Warrants; (4) right, corporate power and authority
to enter into the Purchase Agreements; (5) legal proceedings; (6) tax matters;
(7) "investment company" status; (8) insurance; (9) use of proceeds from the
offering; (10) financial statements; (11) New York Stock Exchange listing
compliance; (12) internal accounting controls and disclosure controls and
procedures (including an exception disclosing that the Company is currently
investigating a series of potential thefts by an employee occurring over several
quarters that are currently expected to amount to losses ranging from $100,000
to $200,000, in the aggregate, and in connection with such investigation the
Company is strengthening its oversight and internal controls relating primarily
to travel and expense reimbursements); (13) labor matter and (14) the amendment
to the Company's credit facility.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company has agreed to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement with
respect to the resale of the Common Stock underlying the $2.31 Warrants and up
to 75% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock (allocated pro rata among the Purchasers) purchased by the Purchasers
under the Purchase Agreements as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event
more than 10 business days following the closing of the offering. Furthermore,
the Company has agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to the resale of the Common Stock underlying the Contingent Warrants
purchased by the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreements as soon as reasonably
practicable, and in no event more than 10 business days following the later of
(1) the date on which the Company's stockholders have approved (i) the amendment
to the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares
of Common Stock of the Company from 40,000,000 shares to not less than
80,000,000 shares (the "Charter Amendment") and (ii) the Contingent Warrants and
(2) the earlier of (A) the six-month anniversary of the closing of the offering
and (B) the date on which the aggregate market value of the Common Stock held by
non-affiliates of the Company is $75 million or more (and if such stockholder
approval occurs after such date, the aggregate market value of the Common Stock
held by non-affiliates of the Company has been $75 million or more at a date
within 45 days prior to such stockholder approval).
Neither the Units, the shares of Preferred Stock, the Warrants nor the Common Stock underlying such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent a registration statement or exemption from registration.
On August 11, 2009, the Company and Jerry D. Dumas, Chairman of the Board of . . .
The information in Item 1.01 above regarding the Credit Agreement Amendment is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
As described in Item 1.01 above, pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company has agreed to sell Units to the Purchasers in a private placement. The offer and sale of Units is being made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The terms of the conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants are set forth in Item 1.01 above. The information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, has informed the Company that he will be retiring from such positions. The Company entered into a Retirement Agreement with Mr. Dumas on August 11, 2009 which sets forth the terms pursuant to which Mr. Dumas will step down as an officer of the Company and assist in the transition of his duties to his successor.
Pursuant to this Retirement Agreement, the Company and Mr. Dumas have agreed
that: (i) Mr. Dumas will remain as Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company until the earlier of the date of the election of his replacement or
January 1, 2010, (ii) Mr. Dumas will remain as Chairman of the Board and a
director of the Company until the Company's 2010 annual stockholders' meeting,
(iii) Mr. Dumas will remain as an employee of the Company through June 30, 2010,
(iv) Mr. Dumas will agree to perform throughout the term of his employment such
duties as shall be assigned to him by the Board, which duties will not exceed
the scope of the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer or President of
the Company, and (v) Mr. Dumas will agree to assist in the transition of his
duties as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company to his
successor for three months after any such successor is elected.
The Company has agreed pursuant to the Retirement Agreement to: (i) pay to Mr. Dumas his annual salary of $450,000 through June 30, 2010, (ii) pay Mr. Dumas a one-time payment of $225,000 on June 30, 2010, and (iii) accelerate the vesting of any of Mr. Dumas' unvested equity awards on June 30, 2010.
The Retirement Agreement provides generally for the release by Mr. Dumas and the Company of each other against all claims, known or unknown. However, because of the requirements of federal law, the Retirement Agreement provides that the release by Mr. Dumas of the Company of any potential age discrimination claims will be delivered at his option within 21 days of the date of the Retirement Agreement. Under federal law, Mr. Dumas is then permitted to revoke this age discrimination release within 7 days of the date of the delivery to the Company. The employment term of Mr. Dumas, the vesting of his equity awards, the payment of certain compensation to Mr. Dumas pursuant to the Retirement Agreement, and the release by the Company of its claims against Mr. Dumas, are all contingent on this age discrimination release being delivered by Mr. Dumas and not being revoked by Mr. Dumas, but the Retirement Agreement itself, including the provisions regarding the resignation of Mr. Dumas, will remain in effect. Thereafter, the vesting of Mr. Dumas' equity awards and the payment of certain compensation to Mr. Dumas pursuant to the Retirement Agreement continue to be contingent on his employment not being terminated for cause.
In connection with John Chisholm providing his services as interim President during the Company's search for a new Chief Executive Officer, the Company and two companies controlled by Mr. Chisholm entered into a Service Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2009, pursuant to which such companies will provide the services of Mr. Chisholm to the Company as interim President. The agreement is terminable by either party upon 30 days' written notice, and will terminate immediately upon the Company's election of a new Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides that the Company will pay an aggregate of $32,000 per month as consideration for the provision of Mr. Chisholm's services.

The stock options will vest in equal installments over a four-year period. However, if the Charter Amendment has not become effective on or before January 31, 2010, Mr. Neyman will be entitled to receive at his discretion a bonus payment in the amount of $250,000 in lieu of such options.
