Organization and Nature of Business
Smart Sand, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. The Company was incorporated in July 2011, and is engaged in the excavation, processing and sale of industrial sand, or proppant, for use in hydraulic fracturing operations for the oil and gas industry. The Company completed construction of the first phase of its primary facility in Oakdale, Wisconsin and commenced operations in July 2012, subsequently expanded its operations in 2014 and 2015 and completed the expansion of annual processing capacity to approximately 5.5 million tons in May 2018.

The Company has recently expanded its business to provide its customers frac sand logistics solutions from the minesite to the wellhead. On March 15, 2018, the Company acquired the rights to operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation. The Company paid consideration of $15,549 to acquire certain assets at the Van Hook terminal, and entered into a long-term lease agreement in connection with the transaction. On June 1, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Quickthree Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of portable vertical frac sand storage solution systems at the wellsite. The consideration consisted of approximately $30,000 of cash paid at closing and up to $12,750 in potential earn-out payments, which are to be paid as system components are built and made available for sale or lease over a three-year period.
