<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by Frank&#146;s based on management&#146;s experience, expectations and perception of
historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although Frank&#146;s believes the expectations reflected in its
forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been
correct. Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Frank&#146;s, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the
forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of Frank&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that has been filed with the SEC and in
Frank&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that has been filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Frank&#146;s undertakes no obligation to
correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. </P>
