Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On March 27, 2017, Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (“Mammoth”), as purchaser, entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Chieftain Sand and Proppant, LLC and Chieftain Sand and Proppant Barron, LLC, unrelated third party sellers (the “Sellers”), following Mammoth’s successful bid in a bankruptcy court auction for substantially all of the assets of the Sellers (the “Assets”) for $35.25 million (the “Pending Acquisition”). The Assets subject to the Pending Acquisition include a wet and dry plant located on approximately 600 acres in New Auburn, Wisconsin and a sand mine with estimated reserves of 30 million tons of Northern White Jordan Substrate frac sand which meets or exceeds API standards including solubility, turbidity, roundness, sphericity and crush resistance. The nameplate capacity of the dry plant, which is not operating today, is 1.8 million tons per annum (“Mtpa”), with an expected capacity of 1.5 Mtpa once it is operational. The Sellers’ facilities are located on the Union Pacific Railroad with unit train capability on site. The Pending Acquisition was approved by the bankruptcy court at a hearing on March 27, 2017, but remains subject to agreed closing conditions. The Pending Acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. Mammoth intends to finance the purchase price for the Pending Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
