Item 8.01    Other Events.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

As previously discussed, Basic Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) on October 25, 2016. On December 9, 2016, the Court confirmed the Company’s First Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (as confirmed, the “Prepackaged Plan”), and on December 23, 2016, the Company emerged from bankruptcy.

Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.1 is the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016, giving effect to (i) the consummation of the Prepackaged Plan; (ii) the adoption of fresh start accounting; and (iii) the reduction of the Company’s senior unsecured notes and long-lived assets.

Indemnification Agreements

Previously, in 2010, the Company approved a form of indemnification agreement to be entered into with each of its directors and certain officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). During 2017, following the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on December 23, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a form of indemnification agreement to be entered into with new non-employee directors and certain new officers. The new form of indemnification agreement has terms which are, in all material respects, the same as those contained in the previously existing indemnification agreement, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2010.

Each indemnification agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the applicable Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that such Indemnitee, by reason of such Indemnitee’s relationship with the Company, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding, provided that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, provided that he or she also had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreement further provides that the Company will indemnify such Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that such Indemnitee, by reason of such Indemnitee’s relationship with the Company, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding, provided that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such a proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the Company or if applicable law prohibits such indemnification being made; provided, however, that, in such event, indemnification against such expenses will nevertheless be made by the Company if and to the extent that the court in which such proceeding has been brought or is pending so determines. The indemnification agreement also provides for the advance of all reasonable expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement. The Indemnitee will be required to repay any amounts so advanced if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company against such expenses.

The foregoing descriptions of the prior form and the new form of indemnification agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2010 form of indemnification agreement and the new form of indemnification agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
