Our shared culture of innovation and commitment to superior service quality make this a truly exciting combination.  Ulterra's industry-leading position in the North American PDC drill bit market complements Patterson-UTI's longstanding history of operational excellence and innovation.  This strategic acquisition, along with our recent announcement to merge with NexTier Oilfield Solutions, further advances our strategy to enhance our positions in drilling and completions.</font><font style="color:rgba(0,0,0,1);white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;min-width:fit-content;">    </font></p>

First, Ulterra&#x2019;s growing presence in the Middle East broadens our geographic footprint and facilitates stronger relationships with key customers in this dynamic international market.  Second, Ulterra&#x2019;s data-centric approach to manufacturing, operations, and marketing, reflected in their proprietary BitHub&#153; data platform, complements Patterson-UTI&#x2019;s PTEN+ data platform. We believe the combination of data systems from Patterson-UTI, NexTier, and Ulterra will create the most comprehensive set of data for drilling and completions in the United States, enhancing our analytics capabilities and allowing us to better support our customers&#x2019; objectives to improve well economics.&#x201d;</font><font style="color:rgba(0,0,0,1);white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;min-width:fit-content;"> </font></p>
