Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Second Closing of GeoStream Investment
On September 1, 2009, Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Key Energy Services Cyprus Ltd., a Cyprus company (“KESC”), consummated the second closing under the Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”), dated as of August 26, 2008, by and among the Company, KESC, OOO Geostream Assets Management, a company incorporated in the Russian Federation, and the following parties, which are referred to in the Master Agreement as “L-Group”: Boris Germanovich Levin, Mikhail Vladimirovich Siyatskiy, Aleksei Rufatovich Mustafinov, Yurii Leonidovich Bodnarchuk, John Thomas Wilson and Vemor Trading and Investments Limited, a Cyprus company, as amended by Amendment to Master Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2009 (the “First Amendment”), and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Master Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2009 (the “Second Amendment”).
OOO Geostream Services Group, a limited liability company incorporated in the Russian Federation (“GeoStream”), along with its branches, subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the “GeoStream Group”), conducts field facilities engineering, geological and hydrodynamic modeling, field development planning, drilling and workover well services in the Russian Federation. As previously disclosed, the Master Agreement provides for a 50% equity investment by KESC in GeoStream in a two-stage transaction. The Master Agreement also provides for an option beginning two years after the initial closing for KESC to purchase additional equity in GeoStream, as well as certain requirements at the fourth and sixth anniversaries of the initial closing for KESC to either purchase additional shares in GeoStream or to arrange an initial public offering for such shares.
The first stage of the transaction closed on October 31, 2008, at which time KESC acquired a 26% interest in GeoStream for cash consideration of approximately 12.0 million Euros (approximately U.S. $17.4 million). Upon completion of the second closing on September 1, 2009, KESC acquired the additional 24% of GeoStream for cash consideration of approximately 11.3 million Euros (approximately U.S. $16.2 million), increasing its total equity ownership in GeoStream to 50%. In addition to KESC’s increased equity ownership, following the second closing, KESC has the right to appoint, and has appointed, the majority of GeoStream’s board, and also has the right to appoint the majority of the governing bodies of each member of the GeoStream Group.
Equipment Sale to GeoStream
Concurrently with the second closing under the Master Agreement, Key Energy Pressure Pumping Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“KEPPS”), and GK Drilling Tools Leasing Company Ltd., a Cyprus company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoStream (“GK Drilling”), entered into a Master Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated September 1, 2009 (the “Sale Agreement”), and executed seven Addenda to such agreement, each also dated September 1, 2009 (each, an “Addendum” and, collectively, the “Addenda”). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and Addenda, GK Drilling has agreed to purchase certain equipment from KEPPS between September and December 2009, including two workover rigs, two drilling rigs, cementing equipment and fishing tools for approximately $23.0 million, as well as a preliminarily identified third drilling rig for an additional estimated $4.4 million.
The Sale Agreement and Addenda provide that approximately $10.5 million of the purchase price related to two of the drilling rigs will be seller-financed. This seller-financed amount will be represented by one or more interest bearing promissory notes issued by GK Drilling in favor of KEPPS. The promissory notes will be payable in equal annual installments over an approximate five and half year period, with the balance of principal and interest due on the sixth anniversary of issuance.
The remainder of the purchase price for the equipment is payable by GK Drilling in cash. Approximately 11.3 million Euros is held by KEPPS as earnest money for this portion of the purchase price. Other than the amount being seller-financed, upon delivery of the equipment set forth in each Addendum and the satisfaction of certain other conditions set forth in the Sale Agreement, the purchase price for the equipment will be first credited against the earnest money, and any remaining balance will then be payable in cash directly by GK Drilling to KEPPS. The purchase price for all equipment under the Sale Agreement and Addenda is in U.S. Dollars, and the amount credited against the earnest money will be based on the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on the date of each equipment’s delivery.
