| Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
On October 31, 2022, U.S. Well Services, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment (the “Certificate of Designations Amendment”) to that certain Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations” and, as amended by the Certificate of Designations Amendment, the “Amended Series A Certificate of Designations”) of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which provides each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock with the option, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Company (a “Conversion Notice”), to convert all but not less than all of such holder’s shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (any such conversion, an “Optional Merger Conversion”) into shares of Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Under the terms of the Amended Series A Certificate of Designations, in connection with any Optional Merger Conversion, each share of the Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Optional Merger Conversion would be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Optional Merger Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the then applicable liquidation preference of such share of the Series A Preferred Stock (as determined in accordance with the Amended Series A Certificate of Designations), by (ii) an amount initially equal to $7.32, subject from time to time to certain adjustments (such amount, the “Merger Conversion Price”).
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Designations Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
