Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes of any such legal proceedings, management believes that the resolution of pending legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, as the Company believes it is adequately indemnified and insured. Since November 1, 2021, ten lawsuits related to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) have been filed on behalf of purported Company shareholders, brought as individual actions. All complaints named or name as defendants the Company and each of the members of the Board, and one complaint also named WB Acquisitions Inc. and Wilks Brothers, LLC as defendants. Nine of the ten lawsuits have been dismissed as of March 16, 2022. The complaints variously alleged or allege that the Company and the members of the Board violated Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14d-9 and, in some of the dismissed cases, Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by failing to provide in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 that the Company filed on November 1, 2021 (as amended or supplemented, the “Schedule 14D-9”) all material information needed by the public shareholders to make an informed decision whether to tender their shares of Company Common Stock, and that the members of the Board violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by allowing the filing of a materially deficient Schedule 14D-9. The complaints variously sought or seek, among other relief, an injunction against the Transactions (or, in the alternative, rescission or an award of rescissory damages if the Transactions are completed), an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, a declaration that the defendants violated Sections 14(d), 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 14a-9 and 14d-9 promulgated thereunder, and a judgment directing that the defendants account for damages sustained because of the alleged wrongs. The defendants believe that these complaints lack merit but cannot predict the outcome of these matters. We are also party to the following legal proceeding: On April 1, 2019, Weatherford International, LLC and Weatherford U.S., L.P. (collectively, “Weatherford”) filed a petition in state district court for Midland County, Texas, in which the Company and eighteen other parties were named as defendants, alleging the Company and/or the other named defendants contributed to or caused contamination of groundwater at and around property owned by Weatherford. Weatherford is seeking declaratory judgment, recovery and contribution for past and future costs incurred in responding to or correcting the contamination at and around the property from each defendant. The Company disputes Weatherford’s allegations with respect to the Company and intends to vigorously defend itself in this case. Subsequent to the filing of the petition, Weatherford filed for bankruptcy protection on July 1, 2019. While the outcome and impact of this legal proceeding on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that the resolution of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Additionally, the Company experiences contractual disputes with its clients from time to time regarding the payment of invoices or other matters. While the Company seeks to minimize these disputes and maintain good relations with its clients, the Company has experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, disputes that could affect its revenues and results of operations in any period. As of December 31, 2021, Dominion Bank has issued one letter of credit under the Dominion Loan Agreement. The letter of credit is in the amount of $265,000 to support the Company’s workers compensation insurance and is secured by a certificate of deposit with Dominion Bank.
