<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February&nbsp;13, 2018, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (&#147;TETRA&#148;) entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;)
with the members (the &#147;Sellers&#148;) of Swiftwater Energy Services, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (&#147;Swiftwater&#148;), and Hunter J. Morris, in his capacity as Sellers Representative, providing for the purchase by TETRA of
all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Swiftwater (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). Swiftwater is engaged in the business of providing water management and water solutions to oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, consideration of $40&nbsp;million of cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and 7,772,021 shares of common
stock (&#147;Common Stock&#148;), par value $0.01 of TETRA will be paid by TETRA at the closing. The shares of Common Stock were valued at $3.86 per share. The Sellers will also have the right to receive earnout payments, in an aggregate amount of
up to $15&nbsp;million, calculated on EBITDA and revenue (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the combined water management business of both Swiftwater and of TETRA (the &#147;Earnout Business&#148;) in the Permian Basin in respect of the
period from January&nbsp;1, 2018 through December&nbsp;31, 2019. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">earn-out</FONT> may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, at the election of TETRA. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Purchase Agreement contains negotiated representations, warranties and covenants by the Sellers and TETRA, which are believed to be customary for
transactions of this kind. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Purchase Agreement. In
addition, these representations and warranties (i)&nbsp;may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (ii)&nbsp;may apply materiality standards
different from what may be viewed as material to investors and (iii)&nbsp;were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or as of such other date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the
subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in TETRA&#146;s public disclosures. Investors are urged not to rely on such
representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances at this time or any other time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Purchase Agreement
contains agreements relating to the operation of the business of Swiftwater in the ordinary course pending the closing and other matters relating to the parties&#146; obligations prior to and after the closing. The Purchase Agreement also contains
agreements relating to the operation of the Earnout Business in the ordinary course from the closing through December&nbsp;31, 2019. The Purchase Agreement contains indemnification provisions which are believed to be customary for transactions of
this type. The parties&#146; obligations for a breach of representations and warranties and related indemnification, in some cases, only apply with respect to aggregate liabilities in excess of specified thresholds, are subject to caps and are only
effective for specified periods of time. The parties have secured representation and warranty insurance for the benefit of TETRA in the transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, key members of Swiftwater management, including Hunter J. Morris, Swiftwater&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and President, entered into employment agreements and confidentiality, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-competition</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-solicitation</FONT> agreements that will become effective upon consummation of the Acquisition. The Sellers have also entered into <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">lock-up</FONT> agreements that restrict the resale of any shares of Common Stock received in the Acquisition for a period ranging from six months to up to three years. The parties&#146; obligations to consummate the
transactions are subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are expected to close during the first quarter of 2018. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which will

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">THE WOODLANDS, Texas, February&nbsp;14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ &#151; TETRA Technologies, Inc. (or the &#147;Company&#148;) (NYSE:TTI) today announced that it has
entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement with the members of SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC (&#147;SwiftWater&#148;), providing for the purchase by TETRA of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in SwiftWater. SwiftWater is
engaged in the business of providing water management and water solutions to oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SwiftWater&#146;s
adjusted EBITDA is expected to be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">$16-20&nbsp;million</FONT> for the 12 months following the closing of the acquisition, not including the benefit of anticipated synergies between SwiftWater and TETRA, and is
expected to immediately be accretive to the Company on an earnings per share, cash flow per share, and free cash flow basis during 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The addition of
SwiftWater expands TETRA&#146;s market share in the Permian, which is one of the fastest growing basins for oilfield services globally, by adding significant capacity as well as incremental products and services. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The agreement to acquire SwiftWater Energy Services shows further implementation of our strategic plans, growing our water management businesses to
better serve our customers, delivering improved returns for shareholders, and providing new opportunities for employees. Our focus will continue to be identifying additional growth opportunities in our current business lines, while continuing to
deliver the high levels of customer service, safety, and operational excellence our customers demand,&#148; said TETRA&#146;s Chief Executive Officer, Stuart M. Brightman. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We see excellent synergies with nominal customer overlap between our and SwiftWater&#146;s operations in the Permian Basin, and both companies continue
to see strong demand for water management solutions, creating excellent opportunities for cross-selling products and services. The acquisition of SwiftWater is expected to provide our customers an enhanced, more efficient, diverse, and strategically
positioned portfolio of services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are excited to welcome SwiftWater&#146;s quality professionals to the TETRA family, and look forward to
integrating SwiftWater&#146;s highly complementary products and services into an expanded TETRA portfolio.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to closing, TETRA and SwiftWater
will continue their respective operations, delivering high-quality products, operations and excellent customer service safely, as they have always done. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The closing of this transaction is anticipated to take place in the coming weeks, following the completion of customary closing conditions and the expiration
or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-Trust Improvements Act. </P>
