Midland, Texas — June 8, 2011 — Basic Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: BAS) (“Basic”) announced today that it has commenced an offering, through a Rule 144A private placement, of up to $175 million of its 73/4% Senior Notes due 2019. The notes are being offered as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which Basic issued $275 million aggregate principal amount of notes on February 15, 2011. These notes are identical to and will be treated together with the previously issued notes as a single class of debt securities under the indenture governing the notes and will trade as a single class. Basic intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the $180 million purchase price for the previously announced Maverick Companies Acquisition.
The notes are being offered inside the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes.
