ProPetro Holding Corp. ("ProPetro" or the “Company") (NYSE: PUMP) today announced that STEP Energy Services (USA) Ltd., a subsidiary of STEP Energy Services Ltd. (“STEP”) (TSX: STEP) has acquired ProPetro’s Coiled Tubing assets, which were used for services including frac plug mill-out, wellbore clean-out, tubing-conveyed perforating and nitrogen pumping. ProPetro elected to receive consideration in the form of cash and shares in STEP, reflecting ProPetro’s confidence in STEP’s ability to grow the business and create value.

“This is a great transaction for ProPetro and all of our stakeholders,” said Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer of ProPetro. “Our goal was to rationalize our portfolio while positioning the Coiled Tubing business’ assets and talented team for even greater success. STEP is a leader in the coiled-tubing market, with a proven track record of growth and ability to bring new technologies to market. As part of STEP, the assets will have the appropriate scale to effectively compete and achieve their full potential. We are grateful for the contributions of our teammates who supported this business over the past several years, and are pleased that they will have the opportunity to transition to STEP, which shares our dedication to customers, and focus on operating safely, efficiently and effectively.”

Sledge continued, “We will continue to actively manage ProPetro’s portfolio of assets to ensure we have the best mix to serve our customers and create value for shareholders. At the same time, we continue to pursue value-enhancing opportunities to drive sustainable long-term growth, margin expansion and cash flow generation. We are confident we are taking the right steps to unlock the value inherent in ProPetro.”
