PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being sent to the stockholders of Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held at 2:00 p.m. (local time) on Friday, April 22, 2016 , at the corporate offices of the Company at 10603 W. Sam Houston Parkway N., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77064 and at any adjournment thereof.

The Notice of Meeting, this Proxy Statement, and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to the stockholders on or about March 23, 2016 . The 2015 Annual Report of the Company has been furnished to the stockholders with this Proxy Statement.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to be held on April 22, 2016 . The proxy statement and annual report to security holders are available at www.flotekind.com/proxymaterials .

You may obtain directions to attend the Meeting and vote in person by contacting our investor relations department at (713) 849-9911.

At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked (i) to consider and vote upon the election of seven nominees to serve on the Board; (ii) to consider and vote upon the Amended and Restated Flotek Industries, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan; (iii) to consider and provide an advisory vote upon our executive compensation; (iv) to consider and vote upon the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm; and (v) to consider and take action upon such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES

The Board has fixed the close of business on March 3, 2016 , as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. At the close of business on such date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote 54,847,737 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) of the Company, which

is the Company’s only authorized and outstanding class of stock entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Holders of at least one-third of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are required to be represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be included in the calculation of the number of the shares present at the Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. “Broker non-votes” means shares held of record by a broker that are not voted on a matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and either lacks or declines to exercise the authority to vote the shares in its discretion.

Each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the record date is entitled to one vote. There will be no cumulative voting of shares for any matter voted upon at the Meeting.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting. A director will be elected if the number of shares voted “FOR” the director’s election exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” that director’s election, excluding abstentions. If an incumbent director who is nominated for re-election does not receive sufficient “FOR” votes to be elected, the director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board following certification of the vote. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall then make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and publicly disclose its decision on whether to accept or reject the resignation. Under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, your brokerage firm or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to Proposal 1 without specific instructions from you as to how to vote with respect to the election of each of the seven nominees for director, because the election of directors is considered a “non-routine” matter under the NYSE rules. Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Approval of the Amended and Restated Flotek Industries, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan

To be approved, this proposal regarding the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan must receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast with respect to this proposal at the Meeting. This means that the votes that our stockholders cast “FOR” this proposal must exceed the votes that our stockholders cast “AGAINST” this proposal at the Meeting. Proposal 2 is considered a “non-routine” matter under the NYSE rules and, therefore, brokerage firms and nominees that are members of the NYSE do not have the authority under those rules to vote their customers’ unvoted shares on Proposal 2 if their customers have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Meeting. Accordingly, broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of this proposal; abstentions will be counted as a vote against this proposal.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the advisory approval of the Company’s executive compensation. In determining whether the proposal has received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions will not be counted and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect for the purpose of determining whether the proposal has been approved. This proposal is advisory in nature, which means that it is not binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

Proposal 4: Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To be approved, the proposal regarding ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm must receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the

total votes cast with respect to this proposal at the Meeting. This means that the votes that our stockholders cast “FOR” this proposal must exceed the votes that our stockholders cast “AGAINST” this proposal at the Meeting. However, your vote will not be binding on the Board or the Company. Proposal 4 is considered a “routine” matter under the NYSE rules and, therefore, brokerage firms and nominees that are members of the NYSE have the authority under those rules to vote their customers’ unvoted shares on Proposal 4 if their customers have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Meeting. Accordingly, broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be taken into account in determining the outcome of this proposal; abstentions will be counted as a vote against this proposal.

If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed and returned to the Company prior to or at the Meeting and is not revoked prior to its exercise, all shares of Common Stock represented thereby will be voted at the Meeting and, where instructions have been given by a stockholder, will be voted in accordance with such instructions.

Any stockholder executing a proxy which is solicited hereby has the power to revoke it prior to its exercise. Revocation may be made by attending the Meeting and voting the shares of Common Stock in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company located at 10603 W. Sam Houston Parkway N., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77064, prior to exercise of the proxy, a written notice of revocation or a later-dated, properly executed proxy.

The solicitation of proxies will be by mail, but proxies also may be solicited by telephone, telegram, or in person by directors, officers, and other employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of soliciting proxies. In order to solicit proxies, the Company will also request financial institutions, brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock as of the record date and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses of forwarding the proxy materials in accordance with customary practice.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board of Directors

The members of the Board serve one-year terms. Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast. A director will be elected if the number of shares voted “FOR” the director’s election exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” that director’s election, excluding abstentions. If an incumbent director who is nominated for re-election does not receive sufficient “FOR” votes to be elected, the director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board following certification of the vote. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall then make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and publicly disclose its decision on whether to accept or reject the resignation. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Recommendation; Proxies

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” each of the nominees named below. The persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote all shares over which they have discretionary authority “FOR” the election of the nominees named below. Although our Board does not anticipate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve, if such a situation should arise prior to the Meeting, the appointed persons will use their discretionary authority pursuant to the proxy and vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Number of Directors

The Board has nominated seven directors for election to the Board at the Meeting.

The Board believes that it is necessary for each of the Company’s directors to possess many qualities and skills that enable him or her to understand the complexities of the Company’s business and effectively guide the management and direction of the Company. When searching for new candidates, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the evolving needs of the Board and searches for candidates that fill current or anticipated future vacancies.

The Board also believes that all directors must possess a considerable amount of business management and educational experience. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee first considers a candidate’s management experience and then considers issues of judgment, background, stature, conflicts of interest, integrity, ethics, and commitment to the goal of maximizing stockholder value when considering director candidates. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also focuses on issues of diversity, such as diversity of gender,

race, and national origin, education, professional experience, and differences in viewpoints and skills. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believe that it is essential that the Board members represent diverse viewpoints. In considering candidates for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials in the context of these standards. With respect to the nomination of continuing directors for re-election, the individual’s contributions to the Board are also considered.

All of our directors bring to our Board a wealth of executive leadership experience derived from their service as corporate executives. They also bring extensive board of director experience. Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole are described in the following paragraphs.

Introduction

Flotek is a global diversified, technology-driven company that develops and supplies oilfield products, services, and equipment to the oil, gas, and mining industries and high value compounds to companies that make cleaning products, cosmetics, food and beverages, and other products that are sold in consumer and industrial markets.

Following the cyclical downturn that impacted the entire energy services business in 2008 and 2009, the Company undertook an aggressive rebuilding campaign that focused on the potential of the Company’s product offerings, in particular, its patented chemistries business. The Company experienced losses in 2008 through 2010, and then saw significant and increasing success in 2011 through 2014. Beginning in the second half of 2014 and continuing throughout 2015, the price of crude oil and the North American rig count declined dramatically, ending 2015 at levels not seen since 2009.

Crude oil prices peaked at approximately $106/barrel in June 2014 and began the descent to the current levels ranging between $30 to $40 per barrel. As a result, total U.S. rig count decreased from 1,929 rigs on November 21, 2014 to 698 rigs as of December 31, 2015, representing a 63.8% decline. The Canadian rig count had a similar response, lagging normal levels by almost 200 rigs during peak drilling seasons.

As a result of this cyclical downturn, North American exploration and production companies - many of which are Flotek clients - significantly reduced their exploration and drilling activity. The reduction in activity led to the Company’s financial results declining in 2015, as the downturn in the oil and gas industry continued.


•	The Company reported revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $334.4 million, a decrease of $114.8 million, or 25.6%, compared to $449.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decline in revenue, however, was not as drastic as the 47.8% decline in average North American active rig count during the same period.


•	During the second quarter of 2015, as a result of decreased rig activity and its impact on management’s

expectations for future market activity, the Company refocused the Drilling Technologies segment to businesses and markets that have the best opportunity for profitable growth in the future. Additionally, the Company shifted the focus of the Production Technologies segment towards oil production markets and away from the less opportunistic coal bed methane markets. As a result of these changes in focus and projected declines in asset utilization, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $20.4 million in the second quarter of 2015.


•	The Company reported a net loss, including the impairment charge discussed above, for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $13.5 million, or $0.25 per share (fully diluted), compared to net income of $53.6 million, or $0.97 per share (fully diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2014.


•	The Company is successfully expanding into foreign markets. Revenue from services and products used in foreign countries increased to 18.2% of consolidated revenue in 2015 compared to 13.9% of consolidated revenue in 2013.


•	The Company continues to emphasize and expand its research and innovation activities. These activities focus on improvement of existing products and services, the design of reservoir specific, customized chemistries, and the development of new products, processes, and services. Research and innovation expense increased to $7.5 million in 2015 compared to $3.8 million in 2013.

•

During 2015, the Company continued to promote the efficacy of its CnF ^® chemistries resulting in an 18.0% increase in CnF ^® sales volumes compared to 2014. CnF ^® volumes continued to increase throughout the year with the fourth quarter of 2015 having the highest quarterly volume of CnF ^® sales on record. The Company achieved this growth despite a 47.8% annual decline in general oilfield activity as measured by active rig count.

•

During 2014, the Company acquired a company that is a leading Enhanced Oil Recovery design and injection firm and a company that provides reservoir engineering and modeling services for a variety of hydrocarbon applications. These acquisitions fit with the Company’s existing products and services and provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s customer base. In early 2015, the Company acquired the assets of a business that will allow the Company to control the manufacturing and service quality of next-generation hydraulic pumping units.

The charts below illustrate the magnitude of the Company’s success in 2011 through 2014, and the decline experienced in 2015.

Compensation Consultants

Hay Group serves as an independent advisor to management on executive compensation. The Compensation Committee engages Willis Towers Watson to provide independent advice to the Committee. Since 2014, these consultants have provided advice on matters including:


•	A thorough review of compensation strategies and objectives;


•	A review of and recommended changes to the Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement and other executive employment agreements, including adoption of “double-trigger” cash severance and equity acceleration following a change-in-control;


•	Adoption of a claw-back policy;


•	A review of policies and recommended changes relating to prohibited hedging transactions and the prohibition of pledging Company securities;


•	Adoption of stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors;


•	A review and update of the Peer Group composition;


•	A restructuring and refinement of executive annual incentive compensation opportunities making amounts earned under the program primarily contingent on financial measures that drive shareholder returns;


•	Adoption of an annual equity-based long-term incentive component to total compensation based on the Company’s total shareholder return and the Company’s performance relative to a peer group; and


•	Extension of the performance period to two years for the equity-based long-term incentive component.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for the approval, evaluation, and oversight of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs. The primary function of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and outside directors. The primary responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include (i) annually reviewing the Company’s general compensation policies with respect to named executive officers and directors, (ii) annually reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, evaluating our officers’ performance in light of these goals, and approving or recommending to the Board compensation levels based on these evaluations, (iii) producing a committee report on executive compensation as required by the SEC to be included or incorporated by reference in our proxy statement or other applicable SEC filings, and (iv) recommending the compensation program applicable to the Company’s outside directors. The Committee met 9 times during the year ended December 31, 2015 .

The Company’s Board appoints Compensation Committee members and the Chairman annually, and these appointees continue to be members until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Any member of the Compensation Committee may be removed, with or without cause, by our Board. The Board appoints members to the Compensation Committee considering criteria such as experience in compensation matters, familiarity with our management and other key personnel, understanding of public company compensation issues, time availability necessary to fulfill committee responsibilities, and independence and other regulatory requirements.

Each member of the Compensation Committee is considered to be (1) “independent” under the currently applicable listing standards of the NYSE; (2) a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; and (3) an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Compensation Committee’s function is more fully described in its charter. The Compensation Committee will continue to review and assess the adequacy of the charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval on an annual basis.

The Compensation Committee establishes an agenda for each Committee meeting and prepares meeting materials. The Committee may request assistance or information that will be provided by management and may share and confirm information with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee on occasion meets with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executives to obtain recommendations with respect to the Company’s compensation programs, practices, and packages for executives, other employees, and directors. Although management makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee on executive compensation, the Compensation Committee is not bound by and does not always accept management’s recommendations. The Compensation Committee has historically sought input from an independent compensation consultant prior to making any final determinations. Our Chief Executive Officer attends some of the Compensation Committee meetings, but the Compensation Committee also regularly holds executive

sessions not attended by members of management or non-independent directors.

Outside corporate counsel, and other members of our management and outside advisors, may be invited to attend all or a portion of a Compensation Committee meeting depending on the nature of the matters to be discussed. Only members of the Compensation Committee may vote on items before the Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee may retain, at our expense, independent compensation consultants to consider executive compensation matters. The Compensation Committee meets with the compensation consultants, both in and outside of the presence of our management, to review findings and recommendations regarding executive compensation and considers those findings and recommendations, as well as the results of the most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation, in determining and making adjustments to our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee has used a compensation consultant since 2011 to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities as assigned by the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. In July 2014, the Compensation Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson to serve as its compensation consultant. During its selection process, the Compensation Committee analyzed factors specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NYSE that affect the independence of compensation advisers. Based on this analysis, the Compensation Committee concluded that there were no independence concerns related to Willis Towers Watson in its role as an independent adviser to the Compensation Committee.

Under the direction of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, the compensation consultant supports the Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities as outlined in the Compensation Committee Charter which can include preparing information regarding compensation trends in the energy services industry, relative compensation for similarly-situated executive officers in the industry, and the structure of our cash and equity incentive awards. At the Compensation Committee’s request, the compensation consultant worked with management to prepare materials for review by the Compensation Committee, made recommendations regarding the Compensation Committee’s calendar, and has provided assistance in the composition of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Compensation Risk Assessment and Controls

The Compensation Committee strives to create an effective environment for its risk assessment of the Company’s overall compensation policies, practices, and programs through the following practices:


•	Compensation Committee chaired by an independent non-employee director. All Compensation Committee members are independent;


•	Representation from the Audit Committee on the Compensation Committee;


•	Review of executive compensation programs by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant;


•	Robust review of compensation program elements and key performance drivers; and


•	Detailed measurement of short- and long-term compensation elements to ensure balance.

The role of the Compensation Committee in risk oversight includes review of risks arising from our compensation policies, practices, and programs, as well as the mitigating controls, to determine whether any such risks are material to the Company. The Compensation Committee has reviewed these matters and believes the mix of compensation elements and the design of those elements, along with sound governance practices, do not encourage employees to take excessive risks that might have a material adverse effect on the Company. These matters include the following:


•	The Company has strong internal financial controls that are assessed annually by the Company’s independent public accountants, in addition to their audits of the Company’s financial statements.


•	Base salaries are generally consistent with market practice and the employees’ responsibilities, so employees are not motivated to take excessive risks to attain a reasonable level of financial security.


•	The determination of incentive awards is based on well-defined financial measures. There is a maximum incentive opportunity for each named executive officer, and the Committee retains discretion to adjust bonuses to eliminate anomalous or inappropriate outcomes.


•	Long-term incentives are designed to provide appropriate awards for successful outcomes, and effectively align realized compensation with returns realized by investors.


•	Since December 31, 2012, the Company has had a claw-back policy that covers executive officers and other officers who participate in the Company’s incentive plans. This policy permits the Company to recover incentive compensation awarded or paid if there is a subsequent change to a performance measure and in instances where an officer engaged in intentional misconduct.


•	All officers and directors are prohibited from purchasing or selling Company securities while in possession of material, non-public information. All officers and directors must pre-clear any transactions involving Flotek common stock with the Company’s Compliance Officer.


•	In 2014, the Company clarified its Insider Trading Policy with respect to its hedging policy and its pledging policy. Hedging transactions are prohibited, and the pledging of Company securities to secure indebtedness is prohibited.


•	The Company has established formal stock ownership guidelines. These guidelines, based on a multiple of base salary for executive officers and on the annual cash retainer for directors, help ensure that their interests are aligned with those of our stockholders.


•	The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. This Code requires each employee and director to sign a Compliance Certification. In addition, employees are required to complete annual anti-bribery training.

Compensation Philosophy

We operate in a very competitive environment. Our principal competitors are larger, more established providers of services in our industry and, because of their size, generally have significantly more resources than we do. In order to successfully compete in this environment, we must be able to attract and retain highly skilled employees with well-developed management, operational, and marketing skills. The Company has been successful in developing and retaining a highly-qualified management team by offering compensation that is equitable, reasonably competitive with what we believe they might earn elsewhere based on our understanding of market practices, and closely tied to performance through our annual salary review process, our annual cash bonus plan, and grants of equity-based opportunities from our long-term incentive plans.

In general, our executive compensation programs are designed to achieve the following objectives:


•	Attract and retain talented and experienced executives with the skills necessary to run and grow our existing business segments;


•	Align the interests of our executive officers with those of stockholders to increase the value of our enterprise;


•	Motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills, and performance are critical to our success;


•	Demonstrate fairness among the executive management team by recognizing the contributions each executive makes to our success;


•	Provide that executives are accountable to the Board for their performance; and


•	Encourage a shared commitment among executives by coordinating Company and individual business unit targets, goals, and objectives.

As we endeavor to evaluate the adequacy of our overall executive compensation program, our Compensation Committee works with the compensation consultant to evaluate and compare certain elements of total compensation against a group of similar publicly-traded energy services companies (the “Peer Group”). We evaluate each element of compensation (base salary, annual incentive compensation, and long-term equity compensation), as well as the total of all compensation elements. While the compensation consultant’s information on peer practices is used to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s total compensation opportunities, the Compensation Committee does not target any percentile level of the peer data as a benchmark for setting pay opportunities.

In regard to the use of peer company data in setting compensation opportunities, we would prefer to define the market for our executive talent using a sizable group of companies that are comparable to us in both size and line of business. However, there are not a sufficient number of companies that compare to us in size and line of business to comprise such a peer group. Therefore, as we evaluate the adequacy of our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee considers data from our Peer Group, data from published survey sources, and information from our directors, management, and compensation consultant based on their collective understanding of industry practices.

The companies that comprised our Peer Group in 2015 were as follows:



Basic Energy Services, Inc.		Newpark Resources, Inc.
CARBO Ceramics Inc.		Parker Drilling Company
C&J Energy Services, Inc.		RPC, Inc.
Key Energy Services, Inc.		Tesco Corporation
Layne Christensen Company		TETRA Technologies, Inc.
Matrix Service Company

The Peer Group was reviewed in June 2015 to ensure it was appropriate for purposes of supporting 2016 compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee concluded that a larger group was advisable. As a result, Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. and RigNet, Inc. were added to the Peer Group for 2016 .

The Compensation Committee intends to continually monitor the composition of the Peer Group to assure that it provides a useful representation of the market for leadership talent in which the Company competes.

Policies, Guidelines and Practices Related to Executive Compensation

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further promote sustained shareholder return and to ensure that the Company’s executives and directors remain focused on both short- and long-term objectives, the Company has established stock ownership guidelines. Each executive and director has five years from the date appointed or elected to his or her position (or, if later, within five years of the adoption of the guidelines) to achieve the level associated with the position.



Role		Guideline
Chief Executive Officer		6 times base salary
Other executive officers		2 times base salary
Directors		5 times annual retainer

Executives and directors that are not in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines must hold the lesser of 25% of the net shares acquired from exercising stock options or vesting of shares, or the number of shares necessary to reach the applicable stock ownership guidelines.

All executives and directors with 5 years tenure in their current position meet or substantially exceed the guidelines.

Hedging and Pledging of Company Stock

None of the Company’s executive officers or directors have pledged any Flotek Common Stock. In addition, all of the Company’s officers and directors must pre-clear any transactions involving Flotek Common Stock with the Company’s Compliance Officer.

During 2014, the Company updated its Insider Trading Policy with respect to its hedging policy and its pledging policy. Pursuant to the Policy, Company directors, officers, and employees may not engage in hedging transactions with respect to Company securities. Prohibited hedging transactions include, but are not limited to: short-selling, options, puts or calls, as well as derivatives such as swaps, forwards, or futures. Company directors and executive officers are prohibited from pledging Company securities to secure indebtedness, including, but not limited to, engaging in margin transactions with Company securities.

Claw-back Policy

The Company has had a claw-back policy since 2012 that covers executive officers and other officers designated as participants in the Company’s incentive plans. The Company is entitled to recover, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, incentive compensation awarded or paid to an officer if the result of the performance measure upon which the award was made or paid is subsequently restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the award or payment. In addition, if an officer engaged in intentional

misconduct that resulted in additional compensation, the Company may take remedial and recovery action.

Tax Gross-Ups on Severance

There are no tax gross-ups on any payments to executives, including severance payments.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Each of the Company’s equity compensation plans has been approved by our stockholders. At December 31, 2015 , there were 1,090,837 shares of our Common Stock available for future issuance under our Long-Term Incentive Plans.

We are asking stockholders to approve an amendment and restatement of the current 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock available for the granting of awards under our equity compensation plans from 2,700,000 to 5,200,000 .

Our 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan was approved at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In connection with this approval by stockholders, the Company committed to cap its average annual burn rate at 2.85% over the next three fiscal years (2014, 2015 and 2016). In calculating compliance with this maximum burn rate commitment, “burn rate” is defined as the number of shares subject to stock awards granted in a fiscal year divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (basic) during the fiscal year. For purposes of calculating the number of awards granted in each fiscal year, (a) awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights will count as one share and (b) awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other full value awards will count as 1.5 shares. Any awards that are assumed or substituted in acquisitions will be excluded from the burn rate calculation.

The Company has complied with its burn rate commitment for 2015 and 2014 . The average annual burn rate was 2.20% for 2015 and 2.28% for 2014 .

Executive Officer Compensation

Principal Elements of Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

The principal elements of the compensation package offered to our executive officers consist of:


•	Base salary;


•	Annual incentive opportunity; and


•	Equity compensation under the long-term incentive plans.

Some, but not all, of the named executive officers participate in certain limited perquisite programs, as described later in this discussion. Group insurance programs, the Company’s 401(k) Plan, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are available to all named executive officers on the same basis as all other employees of the Company.

Allocation of Compensation among the Principal Components

The Compensation Committee has not established formulas for allocating compensation between compensation elements at this time. Rather, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation structures of companies in our Peer Group, historical compensation for the participant, the participant’s responsibilities, the performance of the participant and the Company on goals approved by the Committee, and the

individual circumstances of senior executives when determining the mix of base salary, cash bonus percentages, and annual equity award opportunities. As a result, the Compensation Committee may apply a different mix of base salary, annual incentive compensation, and long-term equity compensation to different executive officer positions. The Company’s historical objectives have been to make executives’ overall compensation opportunity significantly contingent on operational and financial performance.

The following table provides the percentage allocation of 2015 compensation elements at target levels for the Company’s named executive officers.



Name	Base Salary	Annual Incentive at Target Amount	Long-Term Incentive at Target Value	Total
John W. Chisholm	17.4%	17.4%	65.2%	100%
Steven A. Reeves	26.7%	20.0%	53.3%	100%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	28.6%	17.1%	54.3%	100%
Robert M. Schmitz	27.0%	18.9%	54.1%	100%
H. Richard Walton	27.0%	18.9%	54.1%	100%

Base Salary

The Company reviews base salaries annually for the named executive officers to determine if changes are appropriate. In reviewing base salaries, several factors are considered, including a comparison to base salaries paid for comparable positions in the Peer Group, published survey data, the relationship among base salaries paid within the Company, and individual experience and performance. The Company’s intent is to set base salaries at levels consistent with comparable industry positions, Company performance, and remunerative objectives, including the ability to attract, motivate, and retain highly talented individuals in a competitive environment while retaining an appropriate balance between fixed and performance-contingent compensation elements.

President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board

Mr. Chisholm is compensated under a Service Agreement that pays two entities controlled by Mr. Chisholm (the “Chisholm Companies”) as an independent contractor. In addition, Mr. Chisholm has a Letter Agreement with the Company under which he is also an employee of the Company. Effective January 4, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an annual payment of $770,000 pursuant to the Service Agreement and an annual salary of $50,000.

Other Executive Officers

After a review of responsibilities, performance, and the Company’s understanding of salary levels typically available to officers filling comparable positions in other public energy services companies, the salary adjustments in the table below were approved during 2015 .



Name	Title	Beginning Salary	New Salary	Percent Increase
Steven A. Reeves	EVP, Operations	$418,000	$435,000	4.07%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	EVP, Research and Innovation	$392,600	$409,000	4.18%
Robert M. Schmitz	EVP and Chief Financial Officer	*	$330,000	*
H. Richard Walton	Chief Financial Officer Emeritus	$336,000	$350,000	4.17%


*	Mr. Schmitz was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective May 1, 2015 and is now considered a named executive officer.

Annual Incentive Compensation

Under the terms of the annual incentive program available to named executive officers and other leadership employees, participants had the opportunity to earn annual cash incentives based on the achievement of Company performance as measured by Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure under which EBITDA results may be adjusted to recognize incentive compensation, including stock compensation, financing transaction costs (whether paid in cash or not), and other noncash or nonrecurring charges not directly related to the ongoing operations of the Company. Determination of Adjusted EBITDA is based solely on the judgment of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee established 2015 target bonuses for each named executive officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary, as follows:



Percent of Base Salary
John W. Chisholm	100%
Steven A. Reeves	75%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	60%
Robert M. Schmitz	70%
H. Richard Walton	70%

If Adjusted EBITDA results achieved only a minimum-defined level, 50% of target bonuses would be earned, and if

Adjusted EBITDA results achieved a maximum defined

level, 200% of target bonuses would be earned. The bonus percentage earned between minimum and target and between target and maximum is determined on a linear basis. If Adjusted EBITDA is less than $45 million, no bonuses would be paid. In no event would any bonus paid exceed 200% of the target bonus.



2015 Cash Bonus Performance Measure
Adjusted EBITDA:
Minimum (50%)	Target (100%)	Maximum (200%)
$45.0 million	$55.0 million	$75.0 million

The Adjusted EBITDA range for 2015 was set below the Adjusted EBITDA achieved in 2014 due to the drastic decline in the price of crude oil and related industry activity during the second half of 2014 and continuing at the beginning of 2015.

Executives were given the opportunity to elect to receive 50% of their target bonus in restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock awarded conditionally at the beginning of the year based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant subject to the agreement that none of the shares would vest if minimum performance was not achieved and that any bonus earned in excess of 50% of the target amount would be paid in cash. All named executive officers covered by the annual incentive plan elected to receive 50% of their target award in equity, receiving a number of shares equal to 50% of the target bonus divided by $16.73, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on March 2, 2015.

The table below shows the range of bonus opportunities available based on various Adjusted EBITDA results. Actual Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 was $42.4 million , resulting in no bonus for program participants under the annual incentive program.

In evaluating 2015 performance of the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the following: (a) individual performance of each of the named executive officers; (b) the difficult operating environment, continuing decline of oil prices throughout 2015, and the significant reduction in North American rig count; (c) the uncertainty around the incentive goal-setting process at the beginning of 2015 versus the difficult operating environment that continued to occur in 2015; (d) the decline in Company revenue was not as drastic as the decline in rig count; and (e) CnF ^® sale volumes increased throughout the year and the fourth quarter of 2015 had the highest quarterly volume of CnF ^® sales on record. Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee approved individual discretionary bonuses as shown below.



	Minimum		Target		Maximum		Earned*		Discretionary
	50%		100%		200%		0%		Award
John W. Chisholm	$	410,000	$	820,000	$	1,640,000	$	—	$	246,000
Steven A. Reeves	$	163,125	$	326,250	$	652,500	$	—	$	97,875
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	$	122,700	$	245,400	$	490,800	$	—	$	73,620
Robert M. Schmitz	$	115,500	$	231,000	$	462,000	$	—	$	69,300
H. Richard Walton	$	122,500	$	245,000	$	490,000	$	—	$	73,500

As described above, a portion of earned value of bonuses took the form of restricted stock if elected by the executive. Such shares would vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board that performance requirements for vesting were met. The number of shares associated with this election were: Mr. Chisholm - 24,506 shares; Mr. Reeves - 9,750 shares; Mr. Snively - 7,334 shares; Mr. Schmitz - 5,439 shares; and Mr. Walton - 7,322 shares.

Because the minimum-defined level of Adjusted EBITDA was not achieved, the shares associated with this election were forfeited.

2015 Equity Compensation

In order to address the Company’s objectives of retaining critical talent and increasing the amount of the long-term incentive opportunity that is contingent on the performance of the Company, the Compensation Committee established 2015 target grant values for each named executive officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary, as follows:



Percent of Base Salary
John W. Chisholm	375%
Steven A. Reeves	200%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	190%
Robert M. Schmitz	200%
H. Richard Walton	200%

Each named executive officer received performance units with respect to the target grant value. The number of performance units issued to the recipient was determined by dividing the target grant value by $17.39, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on January 9, 2015, the date of adoption of the program.

Within a reasonable period of time following the end of calendar year 2015 (the “Performance Period”), each participant is issued the number of shares of restricted stock (the “Earned Shares”) equal to the number of Target Units held by that participant multiplied by the Performance Percentage which is applicable to that Performance Period.

The Performance Percentage is determined based on the comparison of (i) the Total Shareholder Return of a share of the Company’s Common Stock for the Performance Period to (ii) the Total Shareholder Return of a share of the common

stock of each member of the Company’s Peer Group for the Performance Period.

Total Shareholder Return is calculated using the average closing price of common stock of the respective company for the last 20 trading days before the end of the applicable Performance Period, adjusted for the amount of any dividends paid (the “Ending Value”), and the average closing price of common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the first day of the Performance Period (the “Beginning Price”). Total Shareholder Return is measured by subtracting the Beginning Price from the Ending Value to determine the “Value Increase,” and then dividing the Value Increase by the Beginning Price.

The Earned Shares will vest, if not sooner forfeited, in equal one-half tranches on December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

Performance under the long-term incentive opportunity is based on total shareholder return of the Company and each member of the Company’s Peer Group over a one-year period. A one-year performance period was selected due to the rapid growth of the Company in a volatile environment. Achieving the 100% target requires the Company to outperform 5 of the 11 peer companies in total shareholder return. The entire opportunity is performance based and the Earned Shares must be held until the service periods end on December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

The 2015 long-term incentive program contains a provision that limits the actual Performance Percentage (and number of Earned Shares) to a cap of 100% if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is a loss of greater than 5%.

The following table shows the award program available under the 2015 equity grants and the number of units earned as a result of the Company’s performance versus the Peer Group based on Total Shareholder Return.



	Minimum	Target	Maximum	Actual ⁽²⁾
Performance Percentage	50%	100%	200%	100%
Number of peers outperformed ⁽¹⁾	2	5	8	7
Amounts in Shares
John W. Chisholm	88,413	176,826	353,652	176,826
Steven A. Reeves	25,015	50,029	100,058	50,029
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	22,344	44,687	89,374	44,687
Robert M. Schmitz	18,977	37,953	75,906	37,953
H. Richard Walton	20,127	40,254	80,508	40,254


(1)	The Performance Percentage earned between minimum and target and between target and maximum is determined on a linear basis. If the Company fails to outperform 2 peers, the bonus percentage is zero.


(2)	Although actual Total Shareholder Return exceeded the established target level, the Performance Percentage (and number of Earned Shares) was limited to a cap of 100% because the Company’s Total Shareholder Return was a loss of greater than 5%.

Employment Agreements

John W. Chisholm - Service Agreement and Letter Agreement

On April 15, 2014, effective March 30, 2014, Flotek and two companies controlled by John W. Chisholm, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chisholm Companies”), entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement”), pursuant to which the Chisholm Companies agreed to continue to provide the services of Mr. Chisholm to Flotek. The Service Agreement provides that Flotek will pay the Chisholm Companies a monthly amount as consideration for the provision of Mr. Chisholm’s services.

The term of the Service Agreement will expire on April 30, 2017, but such term is extended on a monthly basis on the last day of each month so that the term of the Agreement is never less than 36 months, unless either party gives prior written notice of non-renewal. Flotek may terminate the Service Agreement at any time and for any reason with or without Cause (as defined in the Service Agreement) and the Chisholm Companies may terminate the Service Agreement for Good Reason (as defined in the Service Agreement). Upon termination of the Service Agreement by Flotek without Cause or by the Chisholm Companies for Good Reason, the Chisholm Companies will be entitled to receive severance compensation equal to 200% of the base compensation and target bonus in effect for the year in which the termination occurs.

If Mr. Chisholm is entitled to payments and benefits described in the Service Agreement that, together with any other payments which Chisholm and/or his affiliates has the right to receive from the Company and its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), the payments and benefits under the Agreement will be either (i) reduced (but not below zero) so that the aggregate present value of all such payments and benefits received by Chisholm and his affiliates from the Company and its affiliates for purpose of Section 280G shall be $1.00 less than three times Chisholm’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and so that no portion of such payments received by Chisholm and his affiliates for purposes of Section 280G shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax result for Chisholm, the Chisholm Companies, and his other affiliates (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any applicable income tax).

If the Service Agreement is terminated by Flotek with Cause, or due to the death or disability of Mr. Chisholm, the Chisholm Companies will be entitled to receive the base compensation earned and payable through the date of termination. The Service Agreement also contains certain non-solicitation restrictions for a period of 24 months following the date of termination of the Service Agreement.

On April 15, 2014, Flotek and Mr. Chisholm entered into a new Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which Flotek agreed to employ Mr. Chisholm for a term equal to the term provided for in the Service Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Flotek will pay Mr. Chisholm an annual salary of $50,000. Mr. Chisholm is subject to certain confidentiality obligations and non-solicitation restrictions for a period of 24 months following the date of termination of the Letter Agreement.

Other Benefits

The Company believes establishing a competitive benefit package for employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. Named executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, and vision care programs, Company-paid accidental death, dismemberment, and life insurance, and Flotek’s 401(k) plan, on the same basis as other employees.

The Company does not offer pension or retirement benefits other than the 401(k) plan. The Company’s international employees may have slightly different employee benefit plans than those offered domestic employees, typically as a result of legal requirements of the specific country.

Perquisites

Mr. Reeves is provided the use of a Company owned vehicle, use of a Company rented apartment, and a fuel allowance.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee is aware of the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code which provides that the Company may not deduct for federal income tax purposes annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain employees. Performance-based compensation paid pursuant to stockholder-approved plans is not subject to the deduction limit as long as such compensation is approved by “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Compensation Committee makes every reasonable effort to structure and administer executive compensation opportunities so that compensation will not be subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limit. However, the Compensation Committee may from time to time approve payments and equity awards that cannot be deducted in order to maintain flexibility in structuring appropriate compensation opportunities in the interest of stockholders.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, “Stock Compensation.” Equity based compensation is expensed over the requisite service period pursuant to the grant award terms. The Company considers the expense associated with stock-based incentive awards when granting such awards.

Section 409A

To the extent we permit executives to defer compensation or we commit to deliver compensation at a later date than when earned and vested, we make every attempt to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Failure to satisfy the Section 409A requirements could subject the executives receiving deferred compensation to a 20% excise tax.

2016 Compensation Action

2016 Salary Increases

Following a review of market data, the Company’s 2015 performance, the performance of executive officers in 2015 , and the industry outlook, salary adjustments were approved as described below.

Effective January 3, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved Mr. Chisholm’s annual salary at $50,000 and approved the amount paid annually pursuant to the Service Agreement with the Chisholm Companies of $770,000. No increase was made for 2016 .



Chief Executive Base Salary	2015		2016
John W. Chisholm *	$	820,000	$	820,000


*	Includes amounts paid to the Chisholm Companies under the Service Agreement and salary paid under the Letter Agreement with Mr. Chisholm.

Effective January 3, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved annual base salary amounts for the other named executive officers as follows:



Executive Officer Base Salary	2015		2016
Steven A. Reeves	$	435,000	$	435,000
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	$	409,000	$	425,400
Robert M. Schmitz	$	330,000	$	350,000
H. Richard Walton	$	350,000	$	330,000

Mr. Reeves did not receive an increase for 2016. Mr. Snively received an increase of 4% upon execution of a new employment agreement to recognize the increase in Research and Innovation activity. Mr. Schmitz’ and Mr. Walton’s base salaries were adjusted to reflect a change in responsibilities, but did not increase in total.

2016 Management Incentive Plan

Target bonus opportunities for 2016 , expressed as a percent of base salary, were approved by the Compensation Committee as follows:



Percent of Base Salary
John W. Chisholm	110	%
Steven A. Reeves	85	%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	75	%
Robert M. Schmitz	75	%
H. Richard Walton	75	%

The percentage of base salary available in the annual incentive program for 2016 was increased between 5% and 10% for each executive. This change is designed to heighten management focus on short-term goals and meeting objectives.

Bonuses under the 2016 Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), the Company’s annual incentive program, have a possible payout between 0% and 200% of the target payment amount. Bonuses will be earned under the MIP to the extent that 2016 Adjusted EBITDA targets are achieved. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as disclosed under the description of our 2015 program.

If a defined minimum level of Adjusted EBITDA is achieved, 50% of the target payment amount is earned, if the target level of Adjusted EBITDA is achieved, 100% of the target payment amount is earned, if a defined target plus level of Adjusted EBITDA is achieved, 150% of the target payment amount is earned, and if a defined maximum level of Adjusted EBITDA is achieved, 200% of the target payment amount is earned. The bonus percentage earned for Adjusted EBITDA between defined levels is determined by linear interpolation; however, the Compensation Committee reserves discretion to equitably adjust the amount of the bonus to reflect developments, events, or actions which were not anticipated by the Compensation Committee when the bonus objective was established. No bonus is earned if performance is below the defined minimum Adjusted EBITDA level.

For 2016 , the Adjusted EBITDA target amount is $33.0 million . This target amount is less than the 2015 target amount by 40.0% and less than the 2015 actual achieved amount by 22.4% . The decrease in the Adjusted EBITDA target amount for 2016 is based on the outlook, considering declines in oil prices and North American drilling rig activity.

2016 Long-Term Incentive Program

Long-term incentive opportunities for 2016 , expressed as a percent of base salary, were approved by the Compensation Committee as follows:



Percent of Base Salary
John W. Chisholm	375	%
Steven A. Reeves	200	%
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.	190	%
Robert M. Schmitz	200	%
H. Richard Walton	200	%

The percentages of base salary available in the long-term incentive program for 2016 have not changed and are consistent with 2015 levels.

Vesting of equity awards under the long-term incentive opportunity will be based solely on the total shareholder return of the Company compared to total shareholder return of each member of the Peer Group companies.

For 2016 , the performance period will be for calendar years 2016 and 2017 . The Compensation Committee concluded that increasing the performance period from a one-year

performance period to a two-year performance period was desirable even though the Company operates in a volatile environment. In addition to a two-year performance period, the Peer Group has been increased by two companies, to a total of 13 companies.

Achieving the 100% target requires the Company to outperform 6 of the 13 peer companies in total shareholder return. The 2016 program contains a provision that limits the actual Performance Percentage (and number of Earned Shares) to a cap of 100% if the Company’s total shareholder return is a loss of greater than 5%.

The target value is equal to each executive’s base annual salary multiplied by the percentage disclosed in the table above. The target value is converted to Target Units for 2016 by dividing the target value by $9.00 . The Compensation Committee changed the conversion formula for 2016 from its historical use of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. This increased the divisor in the formula to $9.00 from $5.81 , the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on January 26, 2016, the date of the adoption of the 2016 long-term incentive opportunity. Increasing the divisor had the effect of reducing the number of Target Units that can be earned by approximately 35% and was a way to conserve share usage from the shares available under the long-term incentive plan.

Due to the belief shared by the Compensation Committee and senior management that the current share price is understated and does not represent the true value of the Company, it was determined to apply a one-time change to the conversion methodology by using a targeted conversion price above the fair value of the award on the date of grant. This methodology was applied when developing the 2016 number of units to be awarded to executives. In addition, the Compensation Committee concluded that the design of the 2016 long-term incentive opportunity was a demonstration of its belief that shareholders should benefit first from an increase in share price.

At the end of the performance period on December 31, 2017, the earned performance percentage will be determined and multiplied by the number of target units held by a participant to determine the number of shares earned. Any shares earned will vest on December 31, 2018.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based on such review and discussion, has recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Meeting Attendance

During 2015 , the Board held 14 meetings of the full Board and 17 meetings of committees. The Audit Committee held 5 meetings, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held 3 meetings, and the Compensation Committee held 9 meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which he or she served from the respective dates of appointment.

The Company does not have a formal policy requiring members of the Board to attend the Annual Meeting, although all directors are strongly encouraged to attend. Of the Directors, Messrs. Chisholm, Hern, Reiland, McGuire, Cooper, and Brown attended the last Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Executive Sessions

Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-management directors of the Board are required to meet on a regularly scheduled basis without the presence of management. The Lead Director chairs these sessions. During 2015 , the non-management directors met in 5 executive sessions without management present.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that each of the current directors, except for Mr. Chisholm, is independent as defined by the rules of the NYSE and, in the case of the Audit Committee, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Mr. Chisholm is not an independent director, since he is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

None of the non-employee directors have any relationship with the Company other than as a director and stockholder, or any transaction or arrangement that interferes with each director’s independence.

Risk Management

The Board has an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity, and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee manages risks associated with Board independence and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports about all identified Company risks.

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and a Compensation Committee. The Audit, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Compensation committees are composed entirely of independent directors as defined under the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The following table shows the committees on which each director serves. “C” indicates that the director serves as the chair of the committee.

Reiland, Hern, and Cooper are audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 407 (d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is available on our website ( www.flotekind.com ) and in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held 3 meetings in 2015 . The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s primary functions are to:


•	Review, at least annually, the structure of the Board to assure that the proper skills and experience are represented on the Board;


•	Recommend to the full Board candidates to fill vacancies on the Board as they occur;


•	Recommend, prior to each annual stockholder meeting, a slate of nominees for election or reelection as directors by the stockholders at the annual meeting;


•	Identify individuals qualified to serve as potential Board members, consistent with criteria approved by the Board;


•	Select, evaluate, retain, and where appropriate, terminate any search firm to be used to identify qualified director candidates;

•	Oversee compliance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and report on such compliance to the Board;


•	Review and consider any requests for waivers of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines or Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company’s directors, executive officers, and other senior financial officers and make a recommendation to the Board with respect to such request for a waiver;


•	Review potential conflicts of interest involving directors and determine whether such director or directors may vote on any issue as to which there may be a conflict;


•	Review all related party transactions and determine whether such transactions are appropriate for the Company to undertake and, if so, approve such transactions;


•	Review periodically with the Company’s counsel, in light of changing conditions, new legislation and other developments, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and make recommendations to the Board for such changes as the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall deem appropriate; and


•	Review executive development and executive succession plans, including succession planning strategies for the Company’s senior management positions.

When identifying and evaluating candidates, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee first determines whether there are any evolving needs of the Board that require an expert in a particular field. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may retain a third-party search firm to assist the Committee in locating qualified candidates that meet the needs of the Board at that time. Generally, a retained search firm would provide information on a number of candidates, which the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee would discuss. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chairman and some or all of the members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will interview potential candidates that meet the needs of the Board, possess the qualifications sought, and meet the independence standards required by the NYSE and as set forth by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance and

Nominating Committee will then recommend the nomination of candidates to the Board. Director nominees may be identified by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee through current board members, officers, stockholders, or other persons.

Any stockholder desiring to submit a nomination to the Board should send the recommendation in writing, together with appropriate background and contact information, to the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company’s principal executive offices. The Board has not established formal minimum qualifications for a director nominee and evaluates any nominee, including those recommended by stockholders, on a case-by-case basis. The Board has adopted a charter for the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a copy of which is available on our website ( www.flotekind.com ) and in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Special Board Committees

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, in addition to established Board Committees, the Board may, from time to time, establish other committees to assist it in carrying out its duties. The duties of each standing committee of the Board are to be spelled-out in a committee

charter which is to be periodically reviewed and approved by the Board.

On December 1, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a special committee consisting of five independent members of the Board of Directors to conduct an independent review of (i) the issues raised in a report issued by a third party regarding the accuracy of the Company’s FracMax ^® software and efficacy of the Company’s CnF ^® completion chemistries and (ii) any other relevant issues that may arise in connection with (a) the shareholder class action and derivative lawsuits filed against the Company relating to the issues raised in such report and (b) an inquiry which has been opened by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the issues raised in such report.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further promote sustained shareholder return and to ensure that the Company’s directors remain focused on both short-term and long-term objectives, the Company has established stock ownership guidelines. See the “Stock Ownership Guidelines” section within “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for further details regarding our stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors.

Director Compensation

Compensation of non-employee directors is determined by the Board based upon recommendations prepared by the Compensation Committee. The compensation program for non-employee directors for 2015 provided for each non-employee director to be paid an annual retainer of $40,000 and receive $2,000 for each meeting of the Board attended and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended. The Lead Director was paid an annual retainer of $24,000, the Chairman of the Audit Committee was paid an annual retainer of $24,000, the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee was paid an annual retainer of $12,000, and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee was paid an annual retainer of $12,000. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service on our Board.

Each non-employee director is also granted a restricted stock award annually, which for 2015 had a fair market value equal to approximately $120,000 on the date of grant. These shares vest as of the annual stockholders’ meeting held in the following year.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer is not compensated for serving on the Board.

The following table provides the 2015 compensation of the non-employee directors.

Other Board and Committee Items

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of the Company applies to our directors, executive officers, and to all other employees and is available on our website ( www.flotekind.com ) and in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Hern, Reiland, McGuire, Cooper, Brown, and Ms. Hardy served on the Compensation Committee during 2015 . No current member of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of the Company or had any relationship requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules. Additionally, none of the Company’s executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director or member of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Transactions with Related Persons

The Company recognizes that related person transactions can present potential or actual conflicts of interest and it is the Company’s preference that related person transactions are avoided as a general matter. However, the Company also recognizes that there are situations, including certain

transactions negotiated on an arm’s length basis, where related person transactions may be in, or may not be inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board will review, ratify, or approve, as necessary, any related person transaction prior to the transaction being entered into, or ratify any related person transaction that has not been previously approved, in which a director, executive officer, five percent owner, or immediate family member of any such person has a material interest.

During 2015 , the Company did not participate in any transactions in which any of the director nominees or executive officers, nor any of their immediate family members, had a direct or indirect material interest.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Chisholm, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has served as Chairman of the Board since July 13, 2010. The Chairman is presiding director at each of the Company’s Board meetings. The Board believes that the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. Independent directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategic development. The Company’s independent directors bring experience, oversight, and expertise from outside the company and industry, while the President brings company-specific experience and expertise. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and President/Chief Executive Officer promotes strategic development and execution, and facilitates information flow between management and the Board, which are essential to effective governance.

One of the key responsibilities of the Board is to develop strategic direction and hold management accountable for the

execution of the strategy developed. The Board believes the combined role of Chairman and President/Chief Executive Officer is consistent with the best interests of stockholders, as it provides the appropriate balance between strategic development and independent oversight of management.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules issued thereunder, the Company’s directors and executive officers are required to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Common Stock. Copies of such forms are

required to be filed with the Company. Based solely on its review of copies of such reports furnished to the Company, the Company believes that the directors and executive officers were in compliance with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) during the most recent fiscal year, except that (1) Mr. Chisholm did not timely file one Form 4 in 2015 reflecting one transaction, (2) Mr. Reeves did not timely file one Form 4 in 2015 reflecting one transaction, (3) Mr. Snively did not timely file two Forms 4 in 2015 reflecting one transaction and three transactions, respectively, and (4) Mr. Walton did not timely file one Form 4 in 2015 reflecting one transaction.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. 2014 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

On March 15, 2016 , our Board of Directors adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to stockholder approval.

Stockholder Vote

We are asking you to approve an amendment and restatement of the Flotek Industries, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock available for the granting of awards under the Plan from 2,700,000 to 5,200,000 and to increase certain other limits under the Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 1.1 million shares of Common Stock remain available for future grants of awards under the Plan. Based on our historic and projected future usage patterns, the Compensation Committee estimates that the shares available under the Plan will be sufficient to provide grants for the next three years.

The only material aspects of the Plan being changed or added by the proposed amendment and restatement is the increase in the number of shares available for issuance and an increase in the annual compensation that may be paid under the Plan with respect to awards. All other provisions of the Plan described herein would remain as already in effect. The

amended and restated Plan continues its provisions that (i) prohibit repricing of options and stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval, except in connection with an adjustment involving a corporate transaction or similar event, (ii) specify language regarding “clawback” or recoupment policies regarding Plan awards, and (iii) prohibit increasing the number of shares available for award for forfeiture or cancellation of awards, shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option, shares tendered to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations, and/or shares repurchased by the Company, whether with option proceeds or otherwise. The material features of the Plan are more fully described below.

Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to assist us in attracting, retaining and motivating employees, officers, directors, and service providers by rewarding, and providing financial incentives for, individual performance. Additionally, the Plan allows us to offer our employees, officers, directors, and service providers the opportunity to acquire and increase their proprietary interest in the Company, thereby more closely aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.

At December 31, 2015 , 1,090,837 shares of our Common Stock remain available for future issuance.

Historic Usage of Shares for Awards

During 2015 and 2014 , shares awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Plans were as follows:



	2015				2014
Participant	Shares		%		Shares		%
Named Executive Officers	753,849	(1)	64.0	%	354,023	(3)	48.6	%

Employees	291,280		24.7	%	284,486		39.0	%
Total	1,178,748		100.0	%	728,901		100.0	%


(1)	Includes 349,749 shares to increase the long-term incentive award from target to maximum shares.


(2)	Includes 36,300 shares to increase the long-term incentive award from target to maximum shares.


(3)	Includes 152,590 shares to increase the long-term incentive award from target to maximum shares.


(4)	Includes 23,537 shares to increase the long-term incentive award from target to maximum shares.

Burn Rate Commitment

In connection with the approval by stockholders of the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company committed to cap its average annual burn rate at 2.85% over the next three fiscal years (2014, 2015, and 2016). In calculating compliance with this maximum burn rate commitment, “burn rate” is defined as the number of shares subject to stock awards granted in a fiscal year divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (basic) during the fiscal year. For purposes of calculating the number of awards granted in each fiscal year, (a) awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights will count as one share, and (b) awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other full value awards will count as 1.5 shares.

Any awards that are assumed or substituted in acquisitions will be excluded from the burn rate calculation.

The Company has complied with its burn rate commitment for 2015 and 2014. The average annual burn rate was 2.20% for 2015 and 2.28% for 2014 .

Amended and Restated Plan Benefits

Because awards under the Plan will be granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, such benefits under the Plan are not presently determinable and we have omitted the New Plan Benefits table.

There are an insufficient number of shares remaining under previously approved long-term incentive plans to provide for competitive long-term incentive awards for the Company’s key senior management.

The following table presents the award of restricted stock units by our Compensation Committee on January 26, 2016.



Participant		Number of Restricted Stock Units
John W. Chisholm		341,667
Steven A. Reeves		96,667
Joshua A. Snively, Sr.		89,807
Robert M. Schmitz		77,778
H. Richard Walton		73,334
Other Officers		70,140
Non-employee Directors		—
Employees		—
Total restricted stock units		749,393

Each of the persons in the table above was issued restricted stock units, subject to stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The number of units converts to the same number of shares if the 2016 performance targets are met ( 749,393 shares), and would

double if the maximum award was achieved ( 1,498,786 shares).

The restricted stock units awarded on January 26, 2016 will be forfeited unless stockholder approval solicited by this Proxy Statement is approved.

At December 31, 2015, 1.1 million shares of Common Stock remain available for future grants under the existing 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

We currently have grants outstanding under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Existing Plans”) which will remain in effect in accordance with their terms. At December 31, 2015, there were 221 shares authorized, but not subject to outstanding awards, under the Existing Plans. We will not grant additional shares under the Existing Plans. The Existing Plans will remain in place for purposes of governing current outstanding awards.

The following summary of the material features of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options (collectively, “stock options”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, and other stock or performance based awards (each, an “Award”).

All employees and service providers of the Company or of any affiliate (as defined in the Plan) of the Company and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. However, incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. The selection of eligible individuals to whom Awards will be granted is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. It is currently expected that our employees will participate in the Plan, along with all non-employee directors who serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Administration

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, unless the Board of Directors appoints another committee for such purpose. No member of the Compensation Committee shall vote or act upon any matter relating solely to himself. Grants of Awards to members of the Compensation Committee must be ratified by the Board of Directors.

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee will (i) select the eligible individuals to whom Awards may be granted; (ii) determine the type, amount, terms, restrictions, and conditions of Awards; (iii) determine the time or times at which Awards shall be granted and the number of shares of common stock subject to each Award; (iv) amend, modify, extend, cancel, or renew any Award or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or any shares of common stock acquired pursuant thereto; (v) interpret the Plan and all Awards under the Plan; (vi) make, amend, and rescind such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan;

(vii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award under the Plan in the manner and to the extent that it deems desirable to effectuate the Plan; (viii) determine the fair market value of shares of common stock; (ix) approve one or more forms of Award agreement; (x) determine whether an Award will be settled in shares of common stock, cash, or any combination thereof; (xi) accelerate, continue, extend, or defer the exercisability or vesting of any Award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, including with respect to the period following a participant’s termination of service; (xii) prescribe, amend, or rescind rules, guidelines, and policies relating to the Plan, or adopt sub-plans or supplements to, or alternative versions of, the Plan, including with limitation, as the Compensation Committee deems necessary or desirable to comply with the laws of, or to accommodate the laws, regulations, tax or accounting effectiveness, accounting principles or custom of, any foreign jurisdiction whose citizens may be granted Awards; and (xiii) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any action taken or determination made by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors pursuant to the Plan will be binding on all parties. No member of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or an Award granted thereunder.

Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to or consent of any person; provided, however, except as specifically permitted under the Plan in connection with a change of control, no amendment (other than any amendment the Board deems necessary in order to permit Awards to meet the requirements of the Code, or other applicable laws, or to prevent adverse tax consequences to the participants), suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of the holder of an Award, terminate such Award or adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect unless or to the extent specified in the Award itself. However, no amendment shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders, to the extent such approval is required by (i) applicable legal requirements or (ii) the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Company’s stock may be listed.

Stock Available for Issuance

Upon stockholder approval of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan will be 5,200,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan.

Each share of common stock that is the subject of an Award granted under the Plan may be made available from authorized but unissued shares, treasury stock, or shares of common stock acquired in the open market. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan. Each share of common stock that is the subject of an Award, including each share underlying an Award that is measured by shares but that is

intended to be settled in cash, shall be charged against the maximum share limitations at the time the Award is granted and may not again be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the number of shares of common stock remaining available for an Award under the maximum share limitations, as reduced for charges in respect of Awards made from time to time, shall not be increased (nor shall prior charges be reversed) for, among other things, shares of common stock (i) not issued and that cease to be issuable for any reason, including, but not limited to, forfeiture, revocation, cancellation, or amendment of an Award or the settlement of an Award, in whole or in part, by the payment of cash, (ii) tendered in payment of the exercise price of any stock option, (iii) tendered to, or withheld by, us to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations, and/or (iv) repurchased by us, whether with stock option proceeds or otherwise.

Award Limits

Upon stockholder approval of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to an exercise of incentive stock options is 5,200,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock options and stock appreciation rights (combined) awarded to any one participant pursuant to the Plan in any calendar year shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be subject to Awards of restricted stock made to any one participant pursuant to the Plan in any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 shares. The maximum amount of compensation which may be paid to any participant in any calendar year pursuant to Awards of restricted stock units shall not exceed $10,000,000. The maximum amount of compensation which may be paid to any participant in any calendar year pursuant to Awards of phantom stock under the Plan shall not exceed the fair market value (determined as of the date of vesting) of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The maximum amount of compensation that may be paid to any participant in any calendar year pursuant to other stock or performance based awards under the Plan, (i) if the compensation under the other stock or performance based awards is denominated under the award agreement only in terms of shares of common stock or a multiple of the fair market value per share of common stock, shall not exceed the fair market value (determined as of the date of vesting) of 1,000,000 shares of common stock; or (ii) in all other cases, shall not exceed $10,000,000. The maximum amount of compensation any participant can be paid in any calendar year pursuant to Awards that are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code (and are designated as such) shall not exceed $10,000,000. The foregoing limitations on the numbers of shares of common stock that may be issued and that may be subject to Awards are subject to adjustment, as provided in the Plan.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Reorganization

Upon a merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, payment of stock dividend, consolidation of shares, combination of shares, or the like that results in the outstanding shares being changed into or exchanged for a different kind of shares or other securities, the Board will adjust any or all of the following: (a) the remaining number of authorized shares of common stock with respect to which Awards may be granted, (b) the number of shares of common stock subject to each and all outstanding Awards, (c) the exercise price, grant price, or other similar value with respect to an Award, (d) the performance goals applicable to any outstanding Awards intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code (subject to such limitations as appropriate under Section 162(m) of the Code), and (e) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event, subject to any required action by our stockholders. The Plan does not permit the Compensation Committee to re-price stock options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval.

Types of Awards

Stock Options . Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at an exercise price per share specified on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has the authority to grant stock options, specifying the terms and conditions of each stock option (including the time or times at which and the circumstances under which the stock option is exercisable), subject to the terms of the Plan. The Compensation Committee will also have the authority to determine whether stock options granted to employees will be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement, stock options will vest such that 25% of the original number of shares of common stock granted shall vest on each anniversary of the date of grant until the stock option fully vests or is forfeited or expires.

Except as described below, the exercise price at which shares of common stock may be purchased upon the exercise of a stock option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date that the stock option is granted. In the case of incentive stock options granted to an employee owning more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of us and our affiliates, the exercise price at which shares of common stock may be purchased upon the exercise of such incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of shares of common stock granted pursuant to stock options (determined as of the date the stock option is granted under the Plan (or any other stock option plan of ours or our affiliates)) that become exercisable with respect to an employee for the first time as incentive stock options during any one calendar year cannot exceed $100,000.

Except for grants of incentive stock options to employees owning more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of us and our affiliates (which stock options may not be exercised later than five years after the date of grant), no stock option may be exercised later than the date which is ten years after the date of grant. To exercise a stock option granted under the Plan, the person entitled to exercise the stock option must provide written notice to us, setting forth the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the shares being purchased and any required withholding taxes, unless other arrangements have been made with the Compensation Committee. The payment must be in cash, certified check, or by the Company withholding shares otherwise issuable from the exercise of the stock option.

Restricted Stock . Restricted stock is common stock that is subject to forfeiture and such other restrictions as the Compensation Committee may impose, including performance criteria, transfer, and repurchase restrictions, and in no event will the term of any such Award exceed ten years. The Compensation Committee has authority and discretion to determine what restrictions apply to the restricted stock and when and how the restrictions of one Award of restricted stock may differ from those of any other Award of restricted stock.

When granted, restricted stock is registered in the name of the participant and left on deposit with, or held in trust or escrow by, us until the restrictions lapse. Unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement, holders of restricted stock have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to such shares; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement, in the case of restricted stock with respect to which vesting is conditioned on performance criteria, other than the continuation of the participant’s employment or service for a fixed or specified duration, holders of restricted stock shall not have the right to receive dividends with respect to such restricted stock until the restricted stock vests, at which time the sum of all dividends on such restricted stock for the restricted period shall be paid without interest. If, prior to the end of the restricted period, the participant forfeits the restricted stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan and of his or her Award agreement, we will have the right to repurchase the participant’s restricted stock for the lesser of (i) its fair market value on the date of forfeiture or (ii) the amount of cash paid therefor, if any. If for any reason the restrictions imposed by the Compensation Committee are not met at the end of the restricted period, the restricted stock will be forfeited by the participant and reacquired by us.

Restricted Stock Units . An award of a restricted stock unit is a right, subject to satisfaction of terms and conditions as imposed by the Compensation Committee, to receive upon vesting, the value of the number of notional shares vested. The right to receive payment of an award of restricted stock

units may be conditioned upon continued employment or achievement of performance goals. Restricted stock unit awards may be payable in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the periods of restriction, the amount payable under the award, and any other terms and conditions consistent with the Plan. Except as otherwise may be required under Section 409A of the Code, payment of a restricted stock unit award shall occur in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date the restricted stock unit vests.

Stock Appreciation Rights . A stock appreciation right entitles a participant to receive (either in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof), upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the excess of (i) the fair market value per share of common stock on the date of exercise over (ii) an amount equal to the fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee may provide that the excess may not exceed a specified amount. The Compensation Committee shall determine, at the date of grant, the number of shares of common stock to which the stock appreciation right applies, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a stock appreciation right may vest and be exercised, the term of the stock appreciation right, subject to a ten year maximum term, and such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

To exercise a stock appreciation right, the person entitled to exercise the stock appreciation right must provide written notice to us, setting forth the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment of any required withholding taxes, unless other arrangements have been made with the Compensation Committee.

Phantom Stock . An award of phantom stock is a right, subject to satisfaction of terms and conditions as imposed by the Compensation Committee, to receive, upon vesting, a stated or determinable amount denominated in shares of common stock. The right to receive payment of an award of phantom stock may be conditioned upon continued employment or achievement of performance goals. Phantom Stock awards may be payable in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the periods of restriction, the number of notional shares of common stock to which the phantom stock award pertains, and any other terms and conditions consistent with the Plan. Except as otherwise may be required under Section 409A of the Code, payment shall occur in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date the phantom stock vests.

Other Stock or Performance Based Awards . An other stock or performance based award is an award the value of which is based in whole or in part by reference to, or based on or related to, a share of common stock or cash as determined by the Compensation Committee to be consistent with the

purposes of the Plan. An other stock or performance based award may be payable in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee has the authority and discretion to determine the terms and conditions, if any, of other stock or performance based awards, including any performance criteria covering such Awards, consistent with the Plan. Except as otherwise may be required under Section 409A of the Code, payment or the settlement of other stock or performance based awards shall be made in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date on which vesting occurs.

Awards intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code . The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant any Award and provide that such Award shall be granted to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Compensation Committee shall establish the performance goals for a performance period and the amount and terms, in writing, for each Award that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Each performance goal shall consist of and incorporate (i) one or more designated business criteria, (ii) the quantitatively determinable level(s), standard(s), degree(s), or range(s) of achievement to be applied to each such business criteria for the performance period, and (iii) the amount of compensation (which shall be objectively determinable under one or more formulas or pre-determined standards) that shall vest under the performance goal for the achievement of each specified business criteria, at the prescribed level(s), standard(s), degree(s), or range(s). Awards granted to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code will vest and be paid only if and to the extent vested under the performance goals.

Performance goals may be based on any one or more business criteria on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published index deemed by the Compensation Committee to be applicable to the Company, including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Standard Index or a group of comparable companies. Performance goals will be established, Awards will be granted, and the Award agreement will be provided to the participant and shall become binding at a time when the achievement of or outcome under each applicable performance goal is “substantially uncertain” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code), and in all events by no later than the earlier of the 90th day of the performance period or the lapse of 25 percent (25%) of the performance period, unless otherwise required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance goals may differ among participants and Awards.

The business criteria are as follows: (i) stock price; (ii) earnings per share; (iii) increase in revenues; (iv) increase in cash flow; (v) cash flow per share; (vi) increase in cash flow return; (vii) return on net assets;

(viii) return on assets; (ix) return on investment; (x) return on capital; (xi) return on equity; (xii) economic value added; (xiii) gross margin; (xiv) net income; (xv) pretax earnings; (xvi) pretax earnings before interest; (xvii) pretax earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization; (xviii) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives, service fees, and extraordinary or special items; (xix) operating income; (xx) total stockholder return; (xxi) debt reduction; (xxii) successful completion of an acquisition, initial public offering, or private placement of equity or debt; or (xxiii) reduction of expenses.

The Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to reduce the amount payable under such Award (even if it has otherwise vested under the applicable performance goal) for a participant’s negative conduct or other activities or factors as the Compensation Committee may determine, but it shall not have the authority to either increase the amount payable under such Award above the amount which vests under the performance goals or pay or provide compensation in lieu of the portion of Award that does not so vest. After the end of each performance period, the Compensation Committee will determine and certify, in writing, the amount, if any, of performance awards payable to each participant based upon the achievement of certain established business criteria.

Withholding

We are generally required to withhold tax on the amount of income recognized by a participant with respect to an Award. The Compensation Committee may make such provision for the withholding of taxes as it deems necessary. Withholding requirements may be satisfied by (a) tender of a cash payment to us or (b) withholding of cash payable or of shares of common stock otherwise issuable under an Award.

Amendment of Awards

The Compensation Committee may amend an Award; provided, however, except in the case of a change of control, no amendment of an Award may, without the consent of the participant, adversely affect the participant’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect.

Clawback

The Plan provides that any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the participant to the Company to the extent the participant is, or in the future becomes, subject to any Company “clawback” or recoupment policy implemented by the Company, including any clawback or recoupment policy adopted to comply with the requirements of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or otherwise.

Term of the Plan

The Plan shall terminate ten years after the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors. No Award may be granted under the Plan after its termination.

Change of Control

Unless otherwise provided in an Award, upon the occurrence of a change of control (defined generally as certain reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, sales of all or substantially all of our assets, or liquidations), the Board of Directors may, but is not required to, take any one or more of the following actions with respect to Awards: (i) accelerate vesting and the time at which all stock options and stock appreciation rights then outstanding may be exercised; (ii) waive, alter, and/or amend the performance criteria and other restrictions and conditions of Awards then outstanding, with the result that the affected Awards may be deemed vested, and any applicable restricted period or other limitations on payment in full with respect thereto shall be deemed to have expired, as of the date of the change of control or such other date as may be determined by the Board of Directors; (iii) cause any acquirer to assume the Plan and the Awards or exchange the Awards for the acquirer’s stock; (iv) terminate the Plan; and (v) terminate and cancel all outstanding unvested or unexercised Awards as of the date of the change of control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate.

The Board of Directors will, in connection with a change of control, have the right to require all participants to transfer and deliver to us all Awards previously granted to the participants in exchange for an amount equal to the cash value of the Awards. The cash value of an Award will equal the sum of (i) the cash value of all benefits to which the participant would be entitled upon settlement or exercise of any Award that is not a stock option or restricted stock, and (ii) in the case of a stock option or restricted stock, the excess of the market value per share (as defined in the Plan) over the option price or the market value per share of restricted stock, as applicable, multiplied by the number of shares as to which such Award is vested.

Termination of the Participant

Except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, upon a participant’s termination for cause (as defined in the Plan), all unpaid Awards, whether vested or not, shall terminate and be immediately forfeited. Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, upon a participant’s termination for any reason other than for cause, including termination due to the participant’s death or disability, any unvested Award outstanding at the time of termination shall terminate and be immediately forfeited. The Board of Directors or Compensation Committee may provide for the continuation of certain Awards, except if such continuation would cause certain adverse tax consequences.

Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary is based on certain applicable provisions of the Code, as currently in effect, and the income tax regulations and proposed income tax regulations issued thereunder. This summary does not purport to cover all

federal income tax consequences or any federal employment tax or other federal tax consequences that may be associated with the Plan, nor does it cover state, local, or foreign taxes.

Status of Stock Options . Stock options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Under certain circumstances, an incentive stock option may be treated as a non-qualified stock option. The tax consequences, both to the option holder and to us, differ depending on whether a stock option is an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option.

Non-qualified Options . Generally, no federal income tax is imposed on the option holder upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option. If the shares of common stock received by an option holder upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option are not subject to certain restrictions in the hands of the option holder, then the option holder will be treated as receiving compensation, taxable as ordinary income in the year of exercise. The amount recognized as ordinary income upon such an exercise is the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise over the exercise price paid for such common stock. Subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the option holder.

Incentive Stock Options . No federal income tax is imposed on the option holder upon the grant of an incentive stock option. The option holder will recognize no ordinary income for federal income tax purposes upon disposition of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, if the option holder (i) does not dispose of the shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option within two years from the date the option was granted or within one year after the shares of common stock were transferred to the option holder (the “Holding Period”), and (ii) is an employee of either (a) the corporation granting the option, (b) the parent corporation or a subsidiary corporation of the granting corporation, or (c) a corporation (or the parent corporation or a subsidiary corporation of such corporation) that has assumed such option of another corporation as a result of a corporate reorganization, merger, or similar transaction. Such employment must continue for the entire time from the date the option was granted until three months before the date of exercise or twelve months before the date of exercise if employment ceases due to permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code). If common stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option is disposed of after completion of the Holding Period, any difference between the exercise price paid for such common stock and the amount realized on the disposition will be treated as a capital gain or loss. The gain, if any, realized upon such a disposition will be treated as a long-term capital gain. Any loss realized upon such a disposition will be treated as a long-term capital loss. In the case of disposition of shares of common stock following expiration of the Holding Period,

we would not be entitled to any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of the incentive stock option or the disposition of the shares of common stock so acquired.

If, however, an option holder disposes of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option before expiration of the Holding Period (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the option holder would be treated as having received, at the time of disposition, compensation taxable as ordinary income. In such event, subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the option holder. The amount treated as compensation is the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of exercise over the exercise price, or (ii) the excess of the amount realized on disposition over the exercise price. The balance of the gain, if any, realized upon such a disposition will be treated as a long-term or short-term capital gain depending on the holding period. If the amount realized at the time of the disposition is less than the exercise price, the option holder will not be required to treat any amount as ordinary income, provided that the disposition is of a type that would give rise to a recognizable loss. In such event, the loss will be treated as a long-term or short-term capital loss depending upon the holding period. A disposition generally includes a sale, exchange, gift or a transfer of legal title, but does not include certain other transfers, such as by reason of death or a pledge or an exchange of shares described in Section 424(c) of the Code.

Although the exercise of an incentive stock option does not result in current taxable income, there are implications with regard to the Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). The excess of the fair market value of shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price paid for such shares of common stock is an adjustment to AMT income for the option holder’s taxable year in which such exercise occurs (unless the shares of common stock are disposed of in the same taxable year and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, in which event the amount included in AMT income will not exceed the amount realized on the disposition over the adjusted basis of the shares).

Restricted Stock . Generally, the grant of restricted stock will not be a taxable event to the participant, and we will not receive a deduction. Absent an 83(b) election (described below), the participant will be taxed at ordinary income rates when the stock vests (an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the vesting date and the consideration paid, if any, for the shares), and we will receive a corresponding deduction. However, the participant may elect to make an 83(b) election not later than 30 days after the grant of the restricted stock. An 83(b) election is an election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code that allows the participant to recognize compensation income on the restricted stock at the time of the grant equal to the

difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and the amount paid, if any, for the shares. If the participant makes an 83(b) election, we receive a corresponding deduction at the time of the grant, and the participant is not taxed, nor do we receive any deduction, upon vesting of the shares. Subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the participant.

When the participant sells the shares following vesting, he or she may realize a capital gain if the sales price is greater than his or her basis in the shares. The participant’s basis for this purpose is the fair market value at the time of vesting (if no 83(b) election is made) or at the time of grant (if an 83(b) election is made). We do not receive a deduction upon disposition of the stock by the participant. If, following vesting, the participant sells the shares and the amount realized is more than the participant’s basis in the stock, the participant will recognize a capital gain. If, following vesting, the participant sells the shares and the amount realized is less than the participant’s basis in the stock, the participant will recognize a capital loss. The capital gain or loss will be either short-term or long-term, depending on the holding period of the shares. The holding period commences upon vesting (if no 83(b) election is made) or upon grant (if an 83(b) election is made).

Restricted Stock Units . In general, a participant who receives a restricted stock unit award will not be taxed on receipt of the Award; instead, upon vesting, the amount paid to the participant (whether in cash, shares, or a combination thereof) denominated in cash will be taxable as compensation to the participant. Subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the participant.

Stock Appreciation Rights . Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, if shares are received in settlement of the stock appreciation right, the fair market value of those shares received is recognized as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of exercise of the stock appreciation right. If a participant receives cash upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the excess of the fair market value of the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation is exercised over the fair market value of the corresponding number of shares of common stock on the date of grant is recognized as income for federal income tax purposes at the time of exercise. Subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the participant.

Phantom Stock . In general, a participant who receives a phantom stock award will not be taxed on receipt of the Award; instead, upon vesting, the amount paid to the

participant (whether in cash, shares, or a combination thereof) equal to fair market value of a share of common stock multiplied by the specified number of notional shares of common stock that have vested will be taxable as compensation to the participant. Subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation is treated as being received by the participant.

Other Tax Considerations

In the event of a change of control of the Company, certain payments in the nature of compensation to certain individuals, if contingent on the change of control, could be nondeductible to us and subject to an additional 20% tax to the participant. Awards under the Plan that are made, vest, or become payable in connection with a change of control may be required to be taken into account in determining whether these penalties apply.

Section 162(m) of the Code places a $1,000,000 cap on the deductible compensation that may be paid to certain executives of publicly traded corporations. Amounts that qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code are exempt from the cap and do not count toward the $1,000,000 limit.

Generally, stock options and stock appreciation rights granted with an exercise or grant price at least equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant will qualify as performance based compensation. Other Awards may or may not qualify, depending on their terms.

Some Awards granted under the Plan may be considered non-qualified deferred compensation that is subject to special rules and an additional 20% tax to the participant under Section 409A of the Code. The Compensation Committee will generally design and administer such Awards either to be exempt from or to comply with Section 409A of the Code and avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, but is not required to do so. There is no commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local, or foreign tax treatment will apply or be available to any participant with respect to any Award.

Inapplicability of ERISA

Based on current law and published interpretations, we do not believe that the Plan is subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan expressly provides that there is no commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person who participates or is eligible to participate in the Plan.

Plan Benefits

Except as set forth above in the table in the section titled “Amended and Restated Plan Benefits,” information cannot be provided with respect to the number of Awards that will be received by any particular individual employee or group of employees pursuant to the Plan, since the grant of such Awards is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. All other future grants under the Plan are within the discretion of our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and, as such, the benefits of such grants are not currently determinable.

No other incentive compensation has been awarded under the Plan to date. All such awards of restricted stock units made under the Plan will be forfeited unless they become effective upon the stockholder approval solicited by this proxy statement.

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast at the Meeting is required to approve the Amended and Restated Flotek Industries, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED A RESOLUTION SEEKING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF, AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. 2014 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS PROPOSAL NO. 2 ON THE ENCLOSED PROXY.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are providing our stockholders with an opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K and in accordance with the SEC’s rules. This proposal, which may be referred to as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was put in place by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, and retain our executive officers, who are critical to our success. As described in the “Summary Compensation Table” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” tables, as well as our accompanying narrative disclosure to such tables, our executive compensation program contains elements of cash and equity-based compensation. We believe our program is designed to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders and to reward our named executive officers for the achievement of our near-term and longer-term financial and strategic goals.

At the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 97.9% of voting stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers. The Company considers this vote a positive endorsement of its executive compensation practices and decisions.

Management routinely engages with investors and has engaged in dialogue with many of our largest stockholders to solicit their feedback and gather information on their views and opinions on various operations and governance issues, including executive compensation practices. The Compensation Committee considers the annual stockholders advisory vote, as well as other stockholder input, when reviewing executive compensation programs, principles, and policies.

The Board of Directors is asking our stockholders to approve a non-binding advisory vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the headings “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Summary Compensation Table” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End,” including the related footnotes and accompanying narrative disclosure, is hereby approved.

Though this proposal calls for a non-binding advisory vote, our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders determined, on an advisory basis, that an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers should occur annually. Accordingly, the Board and Compensation Committee have determined that such advisory votes will take place annually, and the next vote will be at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The next vote concerning the frequency of voting to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, which is required every six years, is expected to occur in 2019.

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve this Proposal 3. In determining whether this proposal has received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions will not be counted and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016 . Hein acted as our independent registered public accounting firm in 2015 . A representative of Hein is expected to attend the 2016 Annual Meeting. Such representative will have the opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Board recommends that the stockholders ratify the selection of Hein as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Fees

Hein & Associates LLP billed the Company and its subsidiaries fees as set forth in the table below for (i) the audits of the Company’s 2015 and 2014 annual financial statements, reviews of quarterly financial statements, and review of other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) assurance and other services reasonably related to the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements, including due diligence services. There were no other fees billed by such independent registered public accounting firm during such years.



	2015		2014
Audit fees	$	589,000	$	691,247
Audit related fees	35,000		35,000
Tax fees	—		—
All other fees	—		—
Total	$	624,000	$	726,247

The Audit Committee of the Board has adopted a policy requiring pre-approval of all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the services provided by Hein during fiscal years 2015 and 2014 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 4 TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF HEIN & ASSOCIATES LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016 .

OTHER MATTERS

The Board is not aware of any other matters that may come before the Meeting. However, the proxies may be voted with discretionary authority with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

ANNUAL REPORT

An Annual Report to Stockholders of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 is enclosed herewith.

This report does not form any part of the material for solicitation of proxies.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER

PROPOSALS AND STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Stockholders are entitled to submit proposals on matters appropriate for stockholder action consistent with regulations of the SEC and the Company’s bylaws.

In order for a stockholder nomination or proposal to be properly brought before next year’s annual meeting, written notice of the proposal that complies with the Company’s bylaws must be received by the Company’s secretary (at the address below) not more than 150 days and not less than 90 days prior to the meeting, which is expected to be held in April 2017 .

In addition to the foregoing, should a stockholder wish to have a proposal appear in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for next year’s annual meeting of stockholders, under regulations of the SEC, such proposal must be received by the Company’s secretary at 10603 W. Sam Houston Parkway N., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77064 on or before November 23, 2016 .

Stockholders and interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board, or with any individual director, may do so by (1) calling Lighthouse Services Inc., a third party call center, at (800) 785-1003 or (2) correspondence addressed to the Board, or to an individual director, at the principal executive offices of the Company. All communications received from stockholders are sent directly to Board members.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC permits a single set of notices, annual reports, and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding.

As a result, if you hold your shares through a broker and you reside at an address at which two or more stockholders reside, you will likely be receiving only one notice, annual report, and proxy statement unless any stockholder at that address has given the broker contrary instructions. However, if any beneficial stockholder residing at an address of which two or more stockholders reside wishes to receive a separate notice, annual report, or proxy statement in the future, or if any beneficial stockholder that elected to continue to receive separate notice, annual reports, or proxy statements wishes to receive a single notice, annual report, or proxy statement in the future, that stockholder should contact his or her broker or send a request to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices, 10603 W. Sam Houston Parkway N., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77064, telephone number (713) 849-9911. We will deliver, promptly upon written or oral request to our Corporate Secretary, a separate copy of the notice, 2015 annual report, and this proxy statement to a beneficial stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

2014 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EFFECTIVE AS OF MARCH 15, 2016

ARTICLE I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose . The Flotek Industries, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as herein amended and restated effective as of March 15, 2016 , is intended to promote the interests of Flotek Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its stockholders by encouraging Employees, Service Providers, and Non-Employee Directors of the Company or its Affiliates (as defined below) to acquire or increase their equity interests in the Company, thereby giving them an added incentive to work toward the continued growth and success of the Company. The Board also contemplates that through the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates will be better able to compete for the services of the individuals needed for the continued growth and success of the Company. The Plan provides for payment of various forms of incentive compensation and, accordingly, is not intended to be a plan that is subject to ERISA, and shall be administered accordingly.

1.2 Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“ Affiliate ” means (i) any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns 50% or more of the combined voting power, as determined by the Committee and (ii) any trades or businesses, whether or not incorporated, which are members of controlled group or are under common control (as defined in Sections 414(b) or (c) of the Code) with the Company; provided , however , that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the term “Affiliate” shall mean only a “parent corporation” of the Company or a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or of any such parent corporation (as such terms are defined in Sections 424 (e) and (f) of the Code and determined in accordance with Section 421 of the Code); and provided further , that with respect to grants of Non-Qualified Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the term “Affiliate” shall mean only a corporation or other entity in a chain of corporations and/or other entities in which the Company has a “controlling interest” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i), but using the threshold of 50% ownership wherever 80% appears.

“ Award Agreement ” means the written agreement pursuant to the Plan between the Company and a Participant evidencing the grant of an Award and the terms and conditions thereof.

“ Awards ” means, collectively, Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Phantom Stock, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, and Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards.

“ Board ” means the Board of Directors of the Company; provided , however , that to the extent necessary with respect to any Award intended to comply with and result in Performance-Based Compensation, the term “Board” shall mean the Committee.

“ Business Criteria ” means those criteria set forth in Section 9.2(b) as the standards for measurement of the performance of the Company in connection with Performance Goals.

“ Cash Value ” of an Award means the sum of (i) in the case of any Award which is not an Option or an Award of Restricted Stock, the value of all benefits to which the Participant would be entitled as if the Award were vested and settled or exercised and (ii) (A) in the case of any Award that is an Option, the excess of the Market Value Per Share over the Exercise Price or (B) in the case of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Market Value Per Share of Restricted Stock, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Award, all as determined by the Board as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as may be determined by the Board.

“ Cause ”, unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award Agreement, means, with respect to the termination of a Participant: (i) any act or omission that constitutes a material breach by the Participant of any of his or her obligations under any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates; (ii) the willful and continued failure or refusal of the Participant substantially to perform the duties required of him or her as an Employee, Non-Employee Director, or Service Provider, or performance significantly below the level required or expected of the Participant, as determined by the Committee; (iii) the Participant’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, or breach of fiduciary duty that, in each case or in the aggregate, results in material harm to the Company or any of its Affiliates; (iv) any willful violation by the Participant of any federal, state, or foreign law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the Participant’s commission of any felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, or the Participant’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation; or (v) any other misconduct by the Participant that is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Committee shall determine whether Cause exists and whether a

A-1

termination is or was for Cause, and each Participant shall agree, by acceptance of the grant of an Award and the execution of an Award Agreement, that the Committee’s determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes of the Plan.

“ Change of Control ” shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:

(a) any “person” or “persons” (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, and as modified in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than and excluding (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any Affiliate of the Company, (iv) an entity owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company, or (v) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the shares of voting stock of the Company then outstanding;

(b) the consummation of any merger, organization, business combination, or consolidation of the Company or one of its subsidiaries with or into any other entity, other than a merger, reorganization, business combination, or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto and their respective Affiliates holding securities which represent immediately after such merger, reorganization, business combination, or consolidation more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or the surviving company or the parent of such surviving company;

(c) the consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition if the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto and their respective Affiliates hold securities immediately thereafter which represent more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the acquiror, or parent of the acquiror, of such assets;

(d) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(e) the Incumbent Board ceases for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided , however , that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election by the Board was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board.

Further, in the case of any item of income under an Award to which the foregoing definition would otherwise apply with the effect that the income tax under Section 409A of the Code would apply or be imposed on income under that Award, but where such tax would not apply or be imposed if the meaning of the term “Change of Control” met the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then the term “Change of Control” herein shall mean, but only with respect to the income so affected, a transaction, circumstance, or event that constitutes a “Change of Control” (as defined above) and that also constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5).

“ Code ” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the regulations and administrative guidance thereunder.

“ Committee ” means the Compensation Committee of the Board; provided, however , if the Compensation Committee is not comprised of two or more members of the Board, each of whom qualifies as both an “outside director” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code) and a “non-employee director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act), then the Board shall appoint a committee (which shall constitute the “Committee”) of two or more members of the Board, each of whom qualifies as both an “outside director” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code) and a “non-employee director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act).

A-2

“ Disability ” means the condition of being unable to perform the Employee’s or Non-Employee Director’s material services for the Company for a period of 90 consecutive days or a total of 180 days, during any 365-day period, in either case as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness, which is determined to be total and permanent. A determination of Disability shall be made by a physician reasonably satisfactory to both the Participant (or his or her guardian) and the Company, provided that if the Employee or Non-Employee Director (or his or her guardian) and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Employee or Non- Employee Director (or his or her guardian) and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to Disability shall be final, binding, and conclusive with respect to all parties. Eligibility for disability benefits under any policy for long-term disability benefits provided to the Participant by the Company shall conclusively establish the Participant’s Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to any item of income under an Award to which the foregoing definition would apply with the effect that the income tax under Section 409A of the Code would apply or be imposed on income under that Award, but where such tax would not apply or be imposed if the meaning of the term “Disability” included and met the requirements of a “disability” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3 (i)(4), then the term “Disability” shall mean, but only with respect to the income so affected, (a) the inability of the Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months or (b) the receipt of income replacements by the Participant, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, for a period of not less than three months under the Company’s accident and health plan; and (ii) with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, “Disability” shall mean the inability of the Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, determined in accordance with Sections 22(e)(3) and 422(c)(6) of the Code.

If shares of the Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any exchange as of the determination date, the Board shall, in good faith, determine the fair market value of such shares using a reasonable application of any reasonable valuation method selected by the Board in its discretion.

“ Forfeit ” (and variations thereof, whether or not capitalized) means to lose a Participant’s rights under an Award prior to its vesting (or, in the case of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, prior to its exercise, even if such Option or Stock Appreciation Right has vested) as a result of cancellation, revocation, lapse, or expiration of the Award in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the Award Agreement; and “forfeiture” means the loss of the rights that are so forfeited.

1.3 Shares Subject to the Plan.

(a) Authorized Shares . The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be 5,200,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 5,200,000 shares.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for Award under the foregoing maximum share limitations, as reduced for charges in respect of Awards made from time to time, shall not be increased (nor shall prior charges be reversed) for,

The maximum amount of compensation which may be paid to any Participant in any calendar year pursuant to Awards of Phantom Stock under this Plan shall not exceed the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of vesting) of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum amount of compensation that may be paid to any Participant in any calendar year pursuant to Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards under this Plan, (i) if the compensation under the Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards is denominated under the Award Agreement only in terms of shares of Common Stock or a multiple of the FMV Per Share of Common Stock, shall not exceed the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of vesting) of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; or (ii) in all other cases, shall not exceed $10,000,000. The maximum amount of compensation any Participant can be paid in any calendar year pursuant to Awards that are intended to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation (and are designated as such) shall not exceed $10,000,000. The foregoing limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued and that may be subject to Awards are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.3(c).

(c) Share Adjustments . Notwithstanding the above, in the event that at any time after the Effective Date the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or the like, the aggregate number and class of securities available under the Plan shall be ratably adjusted by the Board. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately preceding sentence, in order to preserve the fair value of Awards subject to the Plan, the Board shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair value of the Award immediately after the event is equal to the fair value of the Award immediately prior to the event: (a) the remaining number of authorized shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each and all outstanding Awards, (c) the Exercise Price, Grant Price, or other similar value with respect to an Award, (d) the Performance Goals applicable to any outstanding Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation (subject to such limitations as appropriate under Section 162(m) of the Code), and (e) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event. Any adjustments to an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be made (i) without change in the total Exercise Price applicable to the Option or Grant Price applicable to the Stock Appreciation Right or any unexercised portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right (except for any change in such aggregate price resulting from rounding-off of share quantities or prices) and (ii) with any necessary corresponding adjustment in Exercise Price and/or Grant Price per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such adjustments, if any, shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in the case of an Award to which Section 409A of the Code is applicable or would be so as a result of or in connection with any actual or proposed adjustment(s), in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code in the case of Incentive Stock Options, and in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code in the case of any Award held by a Covered Employee and intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation. The Board’s determinations shall be final, binding, and conclusive with respect to the Company and all other interested persons.

1.4 Prohibition of Repricing Without Stockholder Approval . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, no amendment or modification may be made to an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, including, without limitation, by replacement of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with cash or other award type, that would be treated as a repricing under the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, in each case, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, provided that appropriate adjustments may be made to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to Section 1.3(c) and may be made to make changes to achieve compliance with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, to the extent any Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards are subject to vesting, except as otherwise may be required under Section 409A of the Code, upon the vesting of Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards, payment or the settlement of such Award shall be made (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination of both) in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date on which vesting occurs. If the Committee determines that an Other Stock or Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee shall meet the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, the applicable Award Agreement shall so state, and it and the Award shall be subject to and comply with ARTICLE IX .

ARTICLE IX

PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION

9.1 Awards of Performance-Based Compensation . Award Agreements for Awards that are intended and designated by the Committee as subject to the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, other than Awards of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, shall so state, shall specify Performance Criteria, each of which shall constitute a Performance Goal, and shall, along with the Award, be subject to and comply with this ARTICLE IX .

9.2 Performance Goals .

(a) General . Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee for each Performance Period and set forth in each Award Agreement. Each Performance Goal shall consist of and incorporate (i) one or more designated Business Criteria, (ii) the quantitatively determinable level(s), standard(s), degree(s), or range(s) of achievement to be applied to each such Business Criteria for the Performance Period, and (iii) the amount of compensation (which shall be objectively determinable under one or more formulas or pre-determined standards) that shall vest under the Performance Goal for the achievement of each specified Business Criteria at the prescribed level(s), standard(s), degree(s), or range(s). Performance-Based Compensation shall vest and shall be paid only if and to the extent vested under the Performance Goals. Performance Goals may be based on any one or more Business Criteria, on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published index deemed by the Committee to be applicable to the Company, including but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable companies. Performance Goals shall be established, Award shall be granted, and the Award Agreement shall be provided to Participant and shall become binding at a time when the achievement of or outcome under each applicable Performance Goal is “substantially uncertain” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code), and in all events by no later than the earlier of the 90th day of the Performance Period or the lapse of 25 percent (25%) of the Performance Period, unless otherwise required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance Goals may differ among Awards granted to any one Participant or for Awards

A-12

granted to different Participants. The Committee shall have the discretion to reduce the amount of Performance-Based Compensation payable under an Award (even if it has otherwise vested under the applicable Performance Goal) for a Participant’s negative conduct or other activities or factors as the Committee may determine, but it shall not have the authority to increase Performance-Based Compensation above the amount which vests under the Performance Goals or to pay or provide compensation in lieu of Performance-Based Compensation which does not so vest.

(b) Business Criteria . The Business Criteria are as follows:


i.	stock price;


ii.	earnings per share;


iii.	increase in revenues;


iv.	increase in cash flow;


v.	cash flow per share;


vi.	increase in cash flow return;


vii.	return on net assets;


viii.	return on assets;


ix.	return on investment;


x.	return on capital;


xi.	return on equity;


xii.	economic value added;


xiii.	gross margin;


xiv.	net income;


xv.	pretax earnings;


xvi.	pretax earnings before interest;


xvii.	pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization;


xviii.	pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives, service fees and extraordinary or special items;


xix.	operating income;


xx.	total stockholder return;


xxi.	debt reduction;


xxii.	successful completion of an acquisition, initial public offering, private placement of equity or debt; or


xxiii.	reduction of expenses.

(c) Written Determinations . All determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of Performance Goals and the amount and terms of each Award shall be made in writing. In addition, the Committee shall certify in writing prior to the payment of any compensation under any Award designated as intended to comply with the requirements of Performance-Based Compensation the results under each Business Criteria on which any Performance Goal is based, whether (and, if applicable, the degree to which) each Performance Goal and each other material term of the Award were satisfied, and the resulting amount of compensation vested and payable under such Award. The Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to Awards subject to this ARTICLE IX .

(d) Status of Awards under Section 162(m) of the Code . It is the intent of the Company that Awards granted to Covered Employees and designated as intended to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation shall comply with the requirements necessary to constitute Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code. Accordingly, the terms of this ARTICLE IX shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. If any provision of this Plan otherwise applicable to an Award that is designated as intended to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation does not so comply or is inconsistent with the provisions of this ARTICLE IX , with the effect that such Award would not comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, such other provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements and the provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall prevail with respect to such Award, but only to the extent necessary to prevent that Award from failing to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation.

A-13

ARTICLE X

CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS

10.1. General . Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant in such forms as the Committee shall provide and may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The terms, conditions, and/or restrictions contained in an Award may differ from the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in any other Award. The Committee may amend an Award; provided , however , that, subject to Section 10.9 , no amendment of an Award may, without the consent of the holder of the Award, adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect. (Adjustments pursuant to Section 1.3(c) shall not be considered as adversely affecting a person’s rights.) The Board or the Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan; provided , however , that subject to Section 10.9 , the Board or the Committee shall not have the discretion to accelerate or waive any term or condition of an Award, to increase the amount, if any, otherwise payable in accordance with the terms of the Award, or to pay any amount in lieu of an amount not earned or vested under the terms of an Award if such Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and such discretion would cause the Award not to so qualify. Except in cases in which the Board or the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant of any Award.

10.2 Stand-Alone, Additional and Tandem Awards . Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board or the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Any such additional or tandem Awards may be granted at any time. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Any action contemplated or otherwise permitted under this Section 10.2 shall be allowed and effective only to the extent that such action would not cause or otherwise result in adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

10.3 Term of Awards . Term or Restricted Period of each Award that is an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Phantom Stock, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, or Other Stock or Performance-Based Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board or the Committee; provided , however , that in no event shall the term of any such Award exceed a period of ten (10) years (or such shorter terms as may be required in respect of an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code).

10.4 Securities Requirements . No exercise of any Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be effective, and no payment of cash or transfer of shares of Common Stock will be made unless and until all then-applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and by any stock market or exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met, and the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Award to comply with any law or regulation described in the second preceding sentence.

10.5 Transferability .

(a) Non-Transferable Awards and Options . Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, other than Restricted Stock which has vested, will be (i) assignable, saleable, or otherwise transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (ii) subject to any encumbrance, pledge, or charge of any nature. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with a copy of the deceased Participant’s will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

(b) Ability to Exercise Rights . Except as otherwise specifically provided under the Plan, only the Participant or his or her guardian (if the Participant becomes Disabled), or in the event of his or her death, his or her legal representative or beneficiary, may exercise Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, receive cash payments and deliveries of shares, or otherwise exercise rights under the Plan. The executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under any Award will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries of the rights of the Participant hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise such rights as are provided hereunder.

10.6 No Rights as a Stockholder . Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b) , a Participant who has received a grant of an Award or a transferee of such Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common

A-14

Stock until such person becomes the holder of record. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b) , no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

10.7 Listing and Registration of Shares of Common Stock . The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and/or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of an Award until completion of such stock exchange listing, registration or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

10.8 Termination .

(a) Termination for Cause . Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination for Cause, all unpaid Awards of that Participant, whether or not vested, shall terminate and be immediately forfeited. Shares of Restricted Stock so forfeited shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(a) .

(b) Termination for any reason Other than for Cause . Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8(c) or the applicable Award Agreement, upon the termination of Participant for any reason other than for Cause, any unvested Award granted pursuant to the Plan outstanding at the time of such termination and all rights thereunder shall be forfeited and shall wholly and completely terminate and no further vesting shall occur.

(c) Continuation . The Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for the continuation of any Award beyond a Participant’s termination for such period and upon such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee may determine, except to the extent that such continuation would cause the Award to become subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, if the Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A. This Section 10.8(c) shall not apply to any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

10.9 Change of Control .

(a) Change of Control . Unless otherwise provided in the Award, in connection with a Change of Control, the Board shall have the authority in its sole discretion to take any one or more of the following actions with respect to the Awards:

(i) the Board may accelerate vesting and the time at which all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date fixed by the Board or the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate, or the Board or the Committee may accelerate vesting and the time at which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for their then remaining term;

(ii) the Board may waive, alter, and/or amend the Performance Criteria and other restrictions and conditions of Awards then outstanding, with the result that the affected Awards may be deemed vested, and the Restricted Period or other limitations on payment in full with respect thereto shall be deemed to have expired, as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as may be determined by the Board;

(iii) the Board may cause the acquirer to assume the Plan and the Awards or exchange the Awards for awards for the acquiror’s stock;

(iv) the Board may terminate the Plan; and

(v) the Board may terminate and cancel all outstanding unvested or unexercised Awards as of the date of the Change of Control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 10.9 , the Board shall not be required to take any action described in the preceding provisions of this Section 10.9 , and any decision made by the Board, in its sole discretion, not to take some or all of the actions described in the preceding provisions of this Section 10.9 shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to the Company and all other interested persons.

(b) Right to Cash-Out . The Board shall, in connection with a Change of Control, have the right to require all, but not less than all, Participants to transfer and deliver to the Company all Awards previously granted to the Participants in exchange for an amount equal to the Cash Value of the Awards. Such right shall be exercised by written notice to all affected Participants. The amount payable to each Participant by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.9(b) shall be in cash or by

A-15

certified check paid within five (5) days following the transfer and delivery of such Award (but in no event later than fifty (50) days following the date of the Change of Control) and shall be reduced by any taxes required to be withheld.

10.10 Payment or Settlement of Awards . Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, any Award may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock. For this purpose, the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of an Award in order to satisfy withholding taxes or to make payment for the Exercise Price of an Award shall be treated as settled in cash.

10.11 Lock-Up Agreement . In the event of any underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Board and the Committee shall have the right to impose market stand-off restrictions on each Award recipient whereby such Participant shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided , however , that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.

10.12 Stockholder Agreements/Investment Representations . As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Common Stock hereunder, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to enter into such agreements (including but not limited to a buy/sell or voting trust agreement) with respect to the shares as may be required of other stockholders of the Company. In addition, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or issuance that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any relevant provisions of law.

10.13 Exemptions from Section 16(b ) Liability . It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE XI

WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES

Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right (if applicable) or in payment of any other Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made for the payment of any tax amounts (federal, state, local, or other) that may be required to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect thereto at the minimum statutory rate. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the Participant to request the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award, whether through the exercise of an Option or as a distribution pursuant to the Award, which have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of such withholding that is not greater than the sum of all tax amounts required to be withheld with respect thereto, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by certified check payable and acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company the person is an officer or individual subject to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, such person may direct that such tax withholding be effectuated by the Company withholding the necessary number of shares of Common Stock (at the tax rate required by applicable law) from such Award payment or exercise.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 No Rights to Awards or Uniformity Among Awards . No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award; there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, holders, or beneficiaries of Awards; and the terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

12.2 Conflicts with Plan . In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and an Award, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

A-16

12.3 Rights as Employee, Service Provider or Director . No person, even though eligible under this Plan, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Service Provider or Director, or interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s Employment or service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of an Affiliate other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, the Award can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

12.4 Governing Law . The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law.

12.5 Gender, Tense and Headings . Whenever the context requires such, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Section headings as used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the Plan.

12.6 Severability . If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board or the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended as necessary to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board or the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

12.7 Other Laws . The Board or the Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law.

12.8 Unfunded Obligations . Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes. Except as provided under ARTICLE VI of the Plan with respect to the delivery of stock certificates, no provision of the Plan shall require or permit the Company or any Affiliates, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company nor any Affiliates maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as general unsecured creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other Employees, Service Providers, or Non-Employee Directors under general law. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create nor constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Affiliate and a Participant, nor otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant nor the Participant’s creditors in any assets of the Company or any Affiliate. The Participants shall have no claim against any Affiliate for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. The Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of ERISA.

12.9 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Participant shall be solely responsible for and liable for any tax consequences (including but not limited to any interest or penalties) as a result of participation in the Plan. Neither the Board, nor the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder and assumes no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to the Participants.

12.10 Stockholder Agreements . The Board or the Committee may, from time to time, condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such Participant entering into a stockholders’ agreement, voting agreement, repurchase agreement or lockup or market standoff agreement in such form or forms as approved from time to time by the Board.

12.11 Specified Employee under Section 409A of the Code . Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) becomes entitled to a payment under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such “separation from service.”

12.12 No Additional Deferral Features . No Award shall contain or reflect, or be amended or affected or supplemented by any other agreement (including, but not limited to, employment agreements, other plan or arrangements of deferred

A-17

compensation) so as to contain, include or be subject to, a “deferral feature” or an “additional deferral feature” within the meaning and usage of those terms under Section 409A of the Code.

12.13 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code . Certain items of compensation paid pursuant to this Plan are or may be subject to Section 409A of the Code. In such instances, this Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.

12.14 Claw-back Policy. All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Common Stock underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.
