KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, KLX Energy Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding units of Motley Services, LLC (Motley) from the Sellers for a purchase price of $139.2 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and $9.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock payable to certain employees of Motley.  The shares will be issued in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In addition, KLX Energy Services LLC and the Sellers have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the Unit Purchase Agreement and for certain other matters.

The Acquisition is expected to be consummated in late October or early November 2018.
