FTS International, Inc. (NYSE American: FTSI) (“FTSI”) today announced that its special meeting of FTSI stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) has been set for March 3, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The close of business on January 21, 2022 has been set as the record date for the determination of shareholders eligible to receive a proxy and vote at the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held in order for FTSI shareholders to consider and vote on the previously announced merger transaction (the “Merger”) with ProFrac Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ProFrac”) and certain related matters. The special meeting will be a “virtual meeting” of shareholders, meaning that shareholders may participate solely “by means of remote communications.”

On October 22, 2021, FTSI announced a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) for a business combination with ProFrac and ProFrac Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware limited liability company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of ProFrac that would result in FTSI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ProFrac.

The completion of the Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by FTSI’s stockholders (and, unless FTSI has waived such condition, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of FTSI other than those held by ProFrac and its affiliates).
