accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that
statements in this press release which are forward-looking and which provide other than historical information involve risks and
uncertainties that may materially affect the Company&#8217;s actual results of operations. Such forward-looking statements are based
on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Actual results could
differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. These risks include, but
are not limited to, statements regarding the expected consummation of the acquisition, which involve a number of risks and
uncertainties, including the satisfaction of closing conditions for the acquisition (such as the approval of at least 80% of the
outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company in order to consummate the second step merger); the possibility that the
transaction will not be completed and the Company will be a controlled public company with a limited market for its shares, which
could result in the delisting of the Company&#8217;s shares from Nasdaq and the Company no longer being required to make filings
with </FONT>the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;); the impact of general economic, industry, market or
political conditions; dependence upon energy industry spending; changes in exploration and production spending by our customers and
changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; the results of operations and financial condition of our
customers, particularly during extended periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas; the volatility of oil and natural gas
prices; changes in economic conditions; the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, related economic repercussions and the
resulting negative impact on demand for oil and gas; surpluses in the supply of oil and the ability of OPEC+ to agree on and comply
with supply limitations; the duration and magnitude of the unprecedented disruption in the oil and gas industry currently resulting
from the impact of the foregoing factors, which is negatively impacting our business;&nbsp;the potential for contract delays;
reductions or cancellations of service contracts; limited number of customers; credit risk related to our customers; reduced
utilization; high fixed costs of operations and high capital requirements; operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic
and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges, protecting the health and well-being of our
employees and remote work arrangements; industry competition; external factors affecting the Company&#8217;s crews such as weather
interruptions and inability to obtain land access rights of way; whether the Company enters into turnkey or day rate contracts; crew
productivity; the availability of capital resources; disruptions in the global economy; and whether or not the pending transaction
with Wilks will be completed. A discussion of these and other factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the
Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K that was filed with the SEC on March&nbsp;16, 2021 and any subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">as well as the tender offer documents filed with the

forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.&nbsp;</P>
