Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 22, 2016, Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated April 15, 2016, by and among Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Agent”), the lenders identified therein (the “Term Lenders”), and the Company, as borrower (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Amendment amends the Term Loan Agreement to permit the Company to reinstate the annual salary of Mark D. Johnsrud, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The foregoing description of the Term Loan Amendment is only a summary and does not purport to be a complete description of the terms and conditions under the Term Loan Amendment, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Loan Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

The Board of Directors of the Company reinstated Mr. Johnsrud’s annual base salary to $700,000 effective September 26, 2016. Mr. Johnsrud previously agreed to a voluntary reduction in his annual base salary from $700,000 to $1.00 pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement, dated January 25, 2016 (the “First Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement”), between the Company and Mr. Johnsrud. Under the First Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement, the reduction in Mr. Johnsrud’s annual base salary was voluntary and could be increased to an amount not exceeding his prior annual salary of $700,000 at any time by the Company or by Mr. Johnsrud.
