In connection with the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), on October 31, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), C&J Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated all outstanding commitments under that certain Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, dated May 1, 2018, among certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time, as borrowers, the Company, as parent guarantor, the other guarantors from time to time party thereto, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
|
On October 31, 2019, the Company and Keane Group, Inc. (“Keane”) completed its previously announced merger in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Keane and King Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Keane (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the Company and Keane agreed to combine their respective businesses in a merger of equals. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Keane (the “First Merger”), and immediately thereafter, as part of the same transaction, the Company merged with and into King Merger Sub II LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Keane (“LLC Merger Sub”), with LLC Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”, such merger, the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”). On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as mutually agreed by the Company and Keane, Keane changed its name to “NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc.” (“NexTier”).
As a result of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Shares”), of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (excluding the Excluded Shares (as defined below)) was converted into the right to receive from NexTier 1.6149 fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), par value $0.01 per share, of NexTier (“NexTier Shares”).
The issuance of NexTier Shares in connection with the First Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to NexTier’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-232662), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 6, 2019. The joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) included in NexTier’s registration statement contains additional information about the Merger.

|
|
|
•
|
each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Shares issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement was deemed exercised on the last trading day prior to the closing date in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
