Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 13, 2026,
Select Water Holdings LLC (“Select Holdings”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, executed a Credit Agreement (the “New
Credit Agreement”), among Select Holdings, as borrower, SES Holdings, LLC (“SES Holdings”), as parent, JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto from time to time.
The New Credit Agreement
provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $500.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), including
a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit, which will become effective and available upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions
specified in the New Credit Agreement, including the consummation of the Pilot Water Acquisition (the date of such satisfaction or waiver,
the “Effective Date”). If the Effective Date does not occur by the date specified in the New Credit Agreement, the commitments
will terminate.
The New Revolving Credit
Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which it becomes effective and (ii) to the extent
that more than $50 million aggregate principal amount (or available undrawn commitments) of any indebtedness for borrowed money or permitted
refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof is outstanding on such date, the date that is ninety-one (91) days prior to the stated maturity
of such material indebtedness for borrowed money or such permitted refinancing indebtedness. Proceeds may be used to finance a portion
of the Pilot Water Acquisition and pay fees and expenses related thereto, to refinance existing indebtedness, to fund acquisitions and
other growth projects, for working capital, for capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. Select Holdings may request
up to $250.0 million of additional commitments after the Effective Date, subject to certain conditions, including the provision of such
commitments by existing or additional lenders.
Borrowings bear interest,
at Select Holdings’ option, at the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%
or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, in each case based on Select
Holdings’ net total leverage ratio.
The obligations under the
New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Select Holdings’ material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (including, as of the Effective
Date, Pilot Water) and are secured by substantially all of the personal property and certain material real property of Select Holdings
and the guarantors, subject to certain exclusions, and by a pledge by SES Holdings of its equity interests in Select Holdings.
The New Credit Agreement
contains restrictions on the ability of Select Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries to make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase
their equity interests, or to prepay or redeem certain unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, including the Notes offered in the Notes
Offering (as defined below), prior to scheduled maturity, subject to certain exceptions, including that, such transactions are permitted
so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the pro forma net total leverage ratio
of Select Holdings is not more than 3.50 to 1.00 and (iii) after giving effect to such transaction, Select Holdings has liquidity
of not less than 15% of the aggregate revolving credit commitments. In addition, so long as no payment event of default or bankruptcy
or insolvency event of default with respect to Select Holdings exists or would result therefrom, Select Holdings is permitted to pay dividends
in an aggregate amount up to $15.0 million per fiscal quarter.
The New Credit Agreement
also requires Select Holdings to maintain (i) a net total leverage ratio of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 (which may be increased to
4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which certain material acquisitions are consummated and the two immediately subsequent fiscal quarters),
(ii) a net senior secured leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (iii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than
2.50 to 1.00, in each case, tested quarterly.
The New Credit Agreement
contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and additional negative covenants and events of default.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement to be
immediately due and payable and terminate all outstanding commitments thereunder; provided that, in the case of certain bankruptcy or
insolvency events, such acceleration and termination will occur automatically.
The foregoing description of the New Credit Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Credit Agreement, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

of Select Holdings for SES Holdings as “Parent” under the Existing Credit Facility, upon which SES Holdings will be released
as a guarantor and its assets will be released from the liens securing the Existing Credit Facility, (ii) the issuance of the Notes

the Existing Credit Facility and (y) $20.25 million.
The Notes Offering
On October 13, 2026, in connection with the
Notes Offering, the Company provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of which are set forth
below.
*****************************************************
Our in-service and under construction systems
in New Mexico in Eddy and Lea counties include approximately 1.7 million barrels per day of fixed recycling capacity (of which approximately
1.5 million barrels per day is currently active), more than 500 miles of pipeline, and 37.2 million barrels of storage capacity across
more than 1.9 million acres under dedication or ROFR dedication.
*****************************************************
Pilot Water is a leading water midstream company
with a core position in the Delaware Basin and approximately 2.7 million barrels per day of active permitted disposal capacity, approximately
0.8 million barrels per day of undeveloped permitted disposal capacity and more than 700 miles of pipeline infrastructure. Pilot Water’s
revenues are supported by an attractive contract portfolio, with more than 80% of its annual revenue supported by long-term contracts
with an average tenor of more than six years, including approximately 480,000 barrels per day of MVCs and 306,000 dedicated acres.
*****************************************************
As of October 9, 2026, we had $228.75 million
outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility, consisting of $218.75 million outstanding under the term loans and $10 million outstanding
under the revolving loans under the Existing Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.95%. The Existing Credit Facility
matures on January 24, 2030.
*****************************************************
As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately
$874.9 million of total debt outstanding on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Pilot Water Acquisition, the New Revolving Credit
Facility and borrowings thereunder, the issuance of the notes and the use of proceeds therefrom.
*****************************************************.
As of June 30, 2026, on a pro forma basis
after giving effect to the Pilot Water Acquisition, the New Revolving Credit Facility, the issuance of the notes and the use of proceeds
therefrom, we would have had $74.9 million of secured indebtedness outstanding and approximately $418.4 million of additional borrowing
capacity under the New Revolving Credit Facility.
*****************************************************
Risks related to the Pilot Water Acquisition
We may not consummate the Pilot Water Acquisition on the terms
currently contemplated or at all.
On September 24, 2026, Select LLC entered
into the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which Select LLC intends to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests
in Pilot Water. Select may not consummate the Pilot Water Acquisition, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Many of the conditions to completion of the Pilot Water Acquisition are not within Select’s or the sellers’ control, and Select
cannot predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to the Outside
Date, it is possible that the Pilot Water Acquisition may be terminated. In addition, if the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement is terminated
in certain circumstances involving specified breaches by Select LLC, Select LLC may be required to pay the sellers an aggregate termination
fee of $35 million. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Pilot Water Acquisition will be completed in the anticipated time
frame, or at all, or that the anticipated benefits of the Pilot Water Acquisition will be realized.
Although Select has agreed with Pilot OFS to use
reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to promptly complete the Pilot Water Acquisition, these and other conditions
to the completion of the Pilot Water Acquisition may fail to be satisfied. In addition, satisfying the conditions to and completion of
the Pilot Water Acquisition may take longer, could cost more and could require additional borrowings than Select currently expects. There
can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied or that the Pilot Water Acquisition will be consummated on the terms currently
contemplated or at all. If additional borrowings are required to consummate the Pilot Water Acquisition, our total debt and leverage will
be greater than currently anticipated or as otherwise described herein, and, if funded with additional borrowings under our New Revolving
Credit Facility, our availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by a corresponding amount.
The Pilot Water Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions
to the obligations of Select and the sellers to complete such acquisition, which, if not fulfilled, or not fulfilled in a timely manner,
may result in termination of the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement.
The Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement contains
a number of conditions to the consummation of the Pilot Water Acquisition, including, among others:
· the affirmative approval of
antitrust and competition authorities or expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods in certain specified jurisdictions;
· the absence of orders or injunctions
that prohibit the consummation of the acquisition; and
· subject to certain exceptions,
the accuracy of representations and warranties with respect to Select’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement, the businesses of the relevant sellers, including, with respect to the sellers, the absence since the
date of the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement, of any event or condition that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business, and compliance by Select and the sellers with their respective covenants contained in the Pilot Water
Acquisition Agreement.
If any of these conditions are not satisfied or
waived prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement), it is possible that the Pilot Water Acquisition
Agreement may be terminated. Any delay in completing the Pilot Water Acquisition may adversely affect the cost savings and other benefits
that we expect to achieve if the Pilot Water Acquisition and the integration of the parties’ respective businesses are completed
within the expected timeframe.
The New Revolving Credit Facility will not be available until
the Pilot Water Acquisition is consummated.
The New Revolving Credit Facility will become
effective only when certain conditions are satisfied or waived, including the consummation of the Pilot Water Acquisition. Until then,
our liquidity will depend on the Existing Revolver and cash on hand. If the Pilot Water Acquisition is not consummated, the commitments
under the New Revolving Credit Facility will terminate.
We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with
the Pilot Water Acquisition.
We have incurred and are expected to continue
to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Pilot Water Acquisition, combining the operations of Pilot Water with ours
and realizing the expected benefits. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among
others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors. These costs, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, and we will bear many of these
costs even if the Pilot Water Acquisition is not consummated. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as
the realization of expected benefits, related to the integration of Pilot Water’s assets should allow us to offset these transaction
costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.
We may be required to make significant additional cash payments
to the sellers of Pilot Water after the closing of the Pilot Water Acquisition.
In addition to the cash and equity consideration
payable at closing, the Pilot Water Acquisition Agreement requires us to make a $15 million contingent payment upon the satisfaction of
certain operational milestones. In addition, if the 30-day volume-weighted average price of our Class A common stock as of the trading
day immediately preceding the six-month anniversary of the closing date is less than the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Pilot
Water Acquisition Agreement), we will be required to make a cash true-up payment to Pilot OFS equal to the shortfall multiplied by the
number of shares of Class A common stock delivered to Pilot OFS at closing, less certain dividends. The amount of any true-up payment
will depend on the trading price of our Class A common stock, which is outside our control, and is not capped. Any such payments
would reduce the cash available to us to service our indebtedness, including the notes, and could require us to incur additional borrowings.
The pendency of the Pilot Water Acquisition could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The pendency of the Pilot Water Acquisition could
cause disruptions in Select’s business, which could have an adverse effect on Select’s business, results of operations and
financial condition. In particular, the attention of Select’s management may be directed towards the Pilot Water Acquisition, including
obtaining required approvals and other transaction-related considerations and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations
of Select, and matters related to the Pilot Water Acquisition may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have
been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial to Select. Any of these matters could adversely affect the businesses
of, or harm the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of Select even after the Pilot Water Acquisition is consummated.
Our actual operating results, costs and activities could differ
materially from the guidance we have released in connection with the Pilot Water Acquisition.
In connection with our announcement of the Pilot
Water Acquisition, we released certain forecasted operating results, costs and activities, including, without limitation, future expected
financial and operating metrics. This forward-looking guidance is based upon a number of assumptions that are inherently uncertain and
is subject to numerous business, economic, competitive, financial and regulatory risks, including the risks described under “Risk
Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control. If any of these risks and uncertainties actually occur or the assumptions
underlying our guidance are incorrect, our actual operating results, costs and activities may be materially and adversely different from
our guidance. In addition, investors should also recognize that the reliability of any guidance diminishes the farther in the future that
the data is forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put our guidance in context and not to place undue reliance upon
it.
We may not be able to successfully integrate Pilot Water or realize
the anticipated benefits and cost synergies of the Pilot Water Acquisition.
The success of the Pilot Water Acquisition will
depend, in part, on our ability to integrate Pilot Water’s operations, systems and employees into our existing Water Infrastructure
network and to realize the anticipated operational benefits and cost savings. Integration may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming
than we expect. We may lose key employees, customers or suppliers of Pilot Water. We may not achieve the anticipated synergies within
the expected timeframe or at all. Any failure to integrate Pilot Water successfully could adversely affect our results of operations and
cash flows, including the cash available to service the notes.
The amounts of anticipated operational benefits
and cost savings are forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and are based on our current estimates,
but they involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from those described herein. Assumptions relating to the plans and amounts related thereto involve subjective decisions
and judgments with respect to, among other things, the estimated impact of certain operational adjustments, including marketing efficiency,
labor management, material input cost fluctuations, transition costs and other cost and savings adjustments, as well as future economic,
competitive, industry and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the
control of our management. Although our management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, any of the assumptions could
be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the estimates described herein will prove to be accurate or that the objectives and
plans expressed will be achieved. Neither our independent auditor nor any other independent accountant has examined, compiled or performed
any procedures with respect to these amounts, nor have they expressed any opinion, or any other form of assurance, on such information
or their achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the information.
Pilot Water’s expected growth depends significantly on
a single new contract and on the continued performance of its customers.
Pilot Water’s expected growth in produced
water volumes and Adjusted EBITDA from 2026 to 2027 is primarily attributable to a new 175,000 barrel per day MVC-based contract. If that
contract is delayed, does not perform as expected or is terminated, or if the counterparty fails to meet its commitments, Pilot Water’s
results may fall materially short of the expected levels. More generally, a significant portion of Pilot Water’s revenues depends
on long-term contracts with a limited number of customers. The loss of, or a material reduction in volumes from, any significant customer
could adversely affect our results of operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures
presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information
to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable
to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, amortization and
accretion. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any impairment and abandonment charges or asset write offs pursuant to U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries less remeasurement gains
on fixed assets related to business combinations, non-cash compensation expense, ROU adjustments, hedge losses and non-recurring or unusual
expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities related exit and disposal related expenditures, plus/(minus)
foreign currency losses/(gains), plus/(minus) losses/(earnings) on unconsolidated entities and plus tax receivable agreements expense.
The following table sets forth our reconciliation
of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:
