EXPLANATORY NOTE

Basic Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our “Form 10-K”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021, to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of our Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from our Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in our Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to include Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III in our Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed by April 30, 2021. Except for Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III, no other information included in our Form 10-K is amended or changed by this Amendment.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are attached to this 10-K/A as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively. Because no financial statements have been included in this 10-K/A and this 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Item 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Additionally, we are not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A. Additionally, except as specifically referenced herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect any event occurring after March 31, 2021, the filing date of the 2020 Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS


Board of Directors

Compensation. Directors who are our employees do not receive a retainer or fees for service on the Board or any committees. We pay non-employee directors for their service as directors. For 2020, directors who were not employees received an annual fee of $85,000 and our Chairman received an additional $45,000. In addition, the chairman of each committee received the following annual fees: Audit Committee — $15,000; Compensation Committee — $15,000; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — $10,000.

We granted each non-employee director $100,000 in restricted cash awards (or $145,000 aggregate for our Chairman) under the Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan, which was paid on March 15, 2021. Directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or committees and for other reasonable expenses related to the performance of their duties as directors.

Independence. Our Board currently consists of seven members, including three members determined by our Board to be independent — Messrs. Quintana, Jackson and Kern.

Our common stock is quoted for trading on OTCQX. Pursuant to OTCQX rules, we are required to have at least two independent members of the Board as well as an Audit Committee with a majority of independent directors. The Company’s standards for determining director independence require the assessment of directors’ independence each year. A director cannot be considered independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have any relationship with management or the Company that may interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment, including any of the relationships that would disqualify the director from being independent under OTCQX rules.

The Board has assessed the independence of each non-employee director under the Company's guidelines and OTCQX rules and, in the case of the Audit Committee, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Rule10A-3(b). The Board has affirmatively determined that, under OTCQX and SEC rules, Messrs. Quintana, Jackson and Kern are independent directors, based on information provided by the directors.

In the case of the Compensation Committee, Messrs. Kern, First, Solomon and Jeong were determined to be non-employee directors for purposes of Rule 16b-3.

Committees of the Board

Our Board has the following three standing committees, each with a written charter adopted by the Board and available on our website:

•Audit Committee;

•Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and

•Compensation Committee.

All of the directors on our Audit Committee are currently independent in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the OTCQX rules and SEC rules and regulations. The following table shows the committees on which each director serves:


Director	Audit	Nominating and Corporate Governance	Compensation
Julio M. Quintana	X	X*
Keith Schilling
James D. Kern	X		X*
John Jackson	X*	X
Larry First			X
Ross Solomon		X	X
Derek Jeong		X	X

*Chairperson.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Jackson (Chairman), Kern and Quintana.

To promote the independence of the audit, the Audit Committee consults separately and jointly with the independent auditors, the internal auditors and management. The Board has determined that Mr. Jackson is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Messrs. Quintana (Chairman), Jackson, Jeong and Solomon.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established procedures for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Among the many factors considered in identifying and evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee first considers the Board’s needs. Candidates will first be interviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. If approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, candidates will then be interviewed by additional members of the Board. The full Board, with such interested directors recusing themselves as appropriate, will approve all final nominations after considering the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Chairman of the Board, acting on behalf of the other members of the Board, will extend the formal invitation to an approved candidate to stand for election to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will continue to seek opportunities to enhance the diversity of directors serving on our Board. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have specific requirements with regard to diversity in identifying director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has historically considered, and will continue to consider, diversity a significant factor in evaluating the qualifications and experience of director nominees. In that regard, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to achieve an overall variety and mix of diversity in professional experiences, skills, perspective, culture, race and gender among the directors of our Board.

Such nominations must be made in writing to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

We are currently a smaller reporting company. For purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as well as limited narrative disclosures. Further, our reporting obligations extend only to each executive who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during the last fiscal year, each of the other two most highly compensated executive officers, and our former Chief Financial Officer, who is included because he would have been one of the two highest compensated executives had he been an executive at the end of the last fiscal year. We refer to the aforementioned individuals throughout this discussion as the “NEOs” and their names, titles and positions are as follows:


Name						Principal Position
Keith L. Schilling						President and Chief Executive Officer
Adam L. Hurley						Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary
James F. Newman						Executive Vice President — Operations
T. M. “Roe” Patterson (1)						Former President and Chief Executive Officer
David S. Schorlemer (2)						Former Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary

1.Mr. Patterson was CEO for a portion of the compensation period covered by this report. Mr. Patterson resigned effective on January 2, 2020 and was succeeded by Mr. Schilling as our President and Chief Executive Officer.

2.Mr. Schorlemer was CFO for a portion of the compensation period covered by this report. Mr. Schorlemer resigned effective on October 6, 2020 and was succeeded by Mr. Hurley as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

What Guides Our Program

Our Compensation Philosophy & Objectives. Our historic compensation philosophy is driven by the following guiding principles that reinforce the critical connections between business performance, stockholder value creation and senior leadership:

•Compensation for performance: A substantial portion of our executive’s total compensation is variable and contingent upon the attainment of certain specific and measurable annual- and long-term business performance objectives.

•Stockholder alignment: Executives are compensated through compensation elements (base salaries, annual- and long-term incentives) designed to create long-term value for our stockholders, as well as foster a culture of ownership.

•Competitiveness: Target compensation is set at a level that is competitive with that being offered to individuals holding similar positions at other oil and gas companies with which we compete for business and talent.

•Attraction and retention: The executive compensation program enables the Company to retain superior executive talent, as well as attract additional top-tier leadership.

The Principal Elements of Compensation: Total Direct Compensation ("TDC"). Our compensation philosophy for the year ended December 31, 2020, was supported by the following principal elements in our executive compensation program:


Element	Form	Purpose
Base Salary	Cash (Fixed)	Provides a competitive rate relative to similar positions at the market median. This enables the Company to attract and retain critical executive talent.
Quarterly Incentive Bonus Plan*	Cash (Variable)	Ties the compensation of eligible executives in specific areas, regions and divisions directly to the achievement of financial return on assets employed, revenue growth and safety goals within their particular operations.
Annual Cash Bonus Plan	Cash (Variable)	Provides motivation toward, and reward for the achievement of, annual financial and strategic goals that drive long-term stockholder value.
Long-Term Incentives	Cash or Equity (Variable)	Provides incentives to execute on longer-term financial/strategic growth goals that drive stockholder value creation and support the Company’s retention strategy.

*The CEO, CFO, and Senior Vice President — Region Operations do not participate in this plan. Any bonus amounts awarded under this plan to the other NEOs are deducted from any bonus amounts received under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan.

Section 162(m). We consider objectives such as attracting, retaining and motivating leaders when we design our executive compensation programs. We also consider the tax-deductibility of compensation, but it is not our sole consideration. For federal income taxes, compensation is an expense that is fully tax-deductible for almost all our employees. Our NEOs are treated differently. Their pay above one million is non tax-deductible. Effective for tax years 2018 and later, the performance-based compensation exception to the one million deduction limitation was repealed. As a result of the elimination of the performance-based compensation exception from the 162(m) limitation, the opportunity to design programs that are fully tax-deductible for our NEOs has effectively been eliminated. Therefore, we believe that tax-deductibility will have less of an impact on our program design both currently and in the future.

Summary Compensation Table

The following information relates to compensation paid by the Company for the fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019 to each executive who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during the last fiscal year, each of the other two most highly compensated executive officers, and our former Chief Financial Officer, who is included because he would have been one of the two highest compensated executives had he been an executive at the end of the last fiscal year:

______________

1.Under the terms of their employment agreements, Messrs. Schilling, Hurley, Newman, Patterson and Schorlemer were entitled to the compensation described under “Employment Agreements” below.

2.Pursuant to his appointment in January 2020, Mr. Schilling received guaranteed cash payment of $150,000. Pursuant to his appointment in August 2018, Mr. Schorlemer received guaranteed cash payment of $200,000 on each of March 15, 2019 and March 15, 2020. In 2019, Messrs. Patterson, Schorlemer and Newman received an annual cash bonus for 2019 performance that was paid in early 2020. In 2020, Messrs. Schilling, Newman and Hurley received an annual cash bonus for 2020 performance that was paid in early 2021.

3.This column represents the total grant date fair value of RSAs, time-based phantom stock and performance-based phantom stock granted to each of the applicable named executive officers. The grant date fair value of performance-based phantom stocks granted in 2019, $1.22 was calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on the fair value on the grant date, May 15, 2019. The value of time-based RSAs and time-based phantom stock was calculated based upon the closing market price of the stock on the grant date, May 15, 2019. The actual value that an executive officer will realize upon vesting of performance or time-based awards will depend upon the market price of the Company’s stock on the vesting date, so there is no assurance that the value realized by an executive officer will be at or near the value of the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020 for further discussion on our grant-date valuation of stock-based compensation.

The Board has adopted a written policy regarding related party transactions that is to be administered by the Audit Committee. The policy applies generally to transactions, arrangements or relationships in which the Company was, is or will be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related persons include, among others, directors and officers of the Company, beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company’s voting securities, immediate family members of the foregoing persons, and any entity in which the foregoing persons are employed, are a principal or in which such person has more than a 10% beneficial ownership interest. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer is responsible for submitting related person transactions to the Audit Committee for approval at regularly scheduled meetings, or, if such approval is not practicable, to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for approval between such meetings. When considering related person transactions, the Audit Committee, or where submitted to the Chairman, the Chairman, will consider all of the relevant facts available, including, but not limited to: the benefits of the transaction to the Company; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms of comparable transactions available to unrelated third parties or to employees of the Company generally. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement with Ascribe (as defined below) provides that certain actions of the Company and its subsidiaries require approval of a special committee of the Board comprised solely of at least two independent directors. The Company is not aware of any transaction that was required to be reported in its filings with the SEC where such policies and procedures either did not require review or were not followed.

Stockholders’ Agreement & Governance

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company and Ascribe entered into a Stockholders Agreement. As contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement, simultaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Board was reconstituted from six directors to seven directors, comprised of (i) three Class I directors with terms to expire in 2020 (the “Class I Directors”), (ii) two Class II directors with terms to expire in 2021 (the “Class II Directors”) and (iii) two Class III directors with terms to expire in 2022 (the “Class III Directors”). Additionally, effective as of the closing of the C&J Transaction, each of Messrs. Timothy H. Day and Samuel E. Langford resigned from the Board and (a) Lawrence First was appointed as a Class I Director, (b) Derek Jeong was appointed as a Class II Director and (c) Ross Solomon was appointed as a Class III Director. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, following the closing of the C&J Transaction and until the Board Rights Termination Date (as defined below), Ascribe is entitled to designate for nomination for election to the Board all members of the Board, provided that such designations must be made in a manner to ensure that at all times the Board is comprised of at least two independent directors. The “Board Rights Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which Ascribe Affiliated Entities (as defined below), collectively, no longer beneficially own 25% of the fully-diluted common equity of the Company (including the Series A Preferred Stock) and (B) the date on which Ascribe and its affiliates, collectively, no longer constitute the largest holder of fully-diluted common equity of the Company (including the Series A Preferred Stock). The “Ascribe Affiliated Entities” will be comprised of (x) Ascribe and each investment fund which Ascribe or its affiliates controls or for which Ascribe or its affiliates act as a manager or investment advisor and (y) each other person (including portfolio companies) in which person(s) described in clause (x) of this sentence holds a majority of the outstanding equity or voting securities.

Director Independence

Our Board currently consists of seven members, including three members determined by our Board to be independent — Messrs. Quintana, Jackson and Kern. Our common stock is quoted for trading on OTCQX. Pursuant to OTCQX rules, we are required to have at least two independent members of the Board as well as an Audit Committee with a majority of independent directors. The Company’s standards for determining director independence require the assessment of directors’ independence each year. A director cannot be considered independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have any relationship with management or the Company that may interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment, including any of the relationships that would disqualify the director from being independent under OTCQX rules. The Board has assessed the independence of each non-employee director under the Company's guidelines and OTCQX rules and, in the case of the Audit Committee, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Rule10A-3(b). The Board has affirmatively determined that, under OTCQX and SEC rules, Messrs. Quintana, Jackson and Kern are non-employee directors, based on information provided by the directors. In the case of the Compensation Committee, Messrs. Kern, First, Solomon and Jeong were determined to be non-employee directors for purposes of Rule 16b-3.
