Amendment to the Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, FTS International, Inc. (the “Company” or “FTSI”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 21, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) with ProFrac Holdings, LLC (“Parent”) and ProFrac Acquisitions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

The Merger Agreement provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) for the Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) and (ii) that at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, and Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (together, the “Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held by (i) the Company as treasury stock or by any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) Parent or Merger Sub, and (iii) any stockholder who has properly demanded and not failed to perfect or validly withdrawn appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware law) shall be converted into the right to receive $26.52 per Share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

On March 1, 2022, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (the “First Amendment”), providing for the Shares owned by THRC Holdings, LP, an affiliate of Parent (“THRC”), to remain outstanding, and not to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, following the Effective Time. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, following the Effective Time, the Company will be owned approximately 80.6% by Parent and 19.4% by THRC.

The First Amendment will not affect the Merger Consideration to be received by any holder of Shares in connection with the Merger other than THRC, which as of the date hereof, owns approximately 50% of the equity interests in Parent and approximately 19.4% of the Shares. The First Amendment will result in THRC retaining its direct interest in FTSI rather than having Shares held by THRC be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 1, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”), THRC has acknowledged and agreed to this change in the treatment of the Shares held by it. The First Amendment may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time by giving notice of termination to Parent. In the event the First Amendment is so terminated it would not have the effects described herein.

Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the First Amendment, the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company on October 25, 2021, remains in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the First Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 21, 2021, FTS International, Inc. (“FTSI” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive Merger Agreement (the “Original Merger Agreement”) with ProFrac Holdings, LLC (“Parent”) and ProFrac Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). References to the “Merger Agreement” refer to the Original Merger Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2022, unless the context is clear that the reference is to the Original Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a whollymajority-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

If the Merger is completed, FTSI stockholders will have the right to receive $26.52 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, in exchange for each share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and each share of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Shares”) (other than Shares held by (i) the Company as treasury stock or by any subsidiary of the Company, and Shares held by(ii) Parent or Merger Sub and (iii) THRC Holdings, LP, an affiliate of Parent), that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger unless they have properly demanded appraisal rights for such Shares in accordance with Delaware law. The purchase price represents approximately a 14% premium over the Company’s 60-day volume-weighted average closing share price through October 21, 2021. The closing share price of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE American on October 20, 2021, the last trading day prior to entry into the Merger Agreement, was $27.09 per share.
