Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about
future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things, the risk factors described in
“Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form

“plan,” “seek,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of current or
historical fact contained in this prospectus are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based upon reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances
discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may affect our expectations, estimates or projections include:
|
|
•
|
|
a decline in, or substantial volatility of, oil or natural gas prices, and any related changes in expenditures by our customers;
|
|
|
•
|
|
the effects of future acquisitions on our business;
|
|
|
•
|
|
changes in customer requirements in markets or industries we serve;

|
|
competition within our industry;

general economic and market conditions;
|
|

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
This prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference includes market share data, industry data and forecasts that we obtained
from internal company surveys (including estimates based on our knowledge and experience in the industry in which we operate), market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, industry publications and surveys. These sources
include Baker Hughes Incorporated, the Association of Energy Service Companies (“AESC”), and the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy (“EIA”). Industry surveys and publications, consultant surveys
and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe such information is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified any of the data from
third-party sources cited or used for our management’s industry estimates, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Statements as to our position relative to our competitors or as to market share refer to
the most recent available data.
iv
BASIC ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
We provide a wide range of well site services in the United States to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including
completion and remedial services, fluid services, well servicing and contract drilling. These services are fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the productive life of a well. Our broad range of
services enables us to meet multiple needs of our customers at the well site. We were organized in 1992 as Sierra Well Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and in 2000 we changed our name to Basic Energy Services, Inc. References to
“Basic,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this report refer to Basic Energy Services, Inc., and, unless the context otherwise suggests, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlled
subsidiaries.
Our operations are managed regionally and are concentrated in major United States onshore oil and natural gas producing
regions located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and the Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions. Our operations are focused on liquids-rich basins that have historically exhibited strong drilling
and production economics in recent years as well as natural
gas-focused
shale plays characterized by prolific reserves. Specifically, we have a significant presence in the Permian Basin and the Bakken, Eagle
Ford, Haynesville and Marcellus shales. We provide our services to a diverse group of over 2,000 oil and gas companies.
Our current
operating segments are Completion and Remedial Services, Fluid Services, Well Servicing, and Contract Drilling. These segments were selected based on management’s resource allocation and performance assessment in making decisions regarding the
Company. The following is a description of our business segments:
|
|
•
|
|
Completion and Remedial Services.
Our completion and remedial services segment operates our fleet of pumping units, an array of specialized rental equipment and fishing tools, coiled tubing units, snubbing units,
thru-tubing, air compressor packages specially configured for underbalanced drilling operations, cased-hole wireline units and nitrogen units. The largest portion of this business segment consists of pumping services focused on cementing, acidizing
and fracturing services in niche markets.
|
|
|
•
|
|
Fluid Services.
Our fluid services segment utilizes our fleet of 940 fluid service trucks and related assets, including specialized tank trucks, storage tanks, water wells, disposal facilities, water treatment
and construction and other related equipment. These assets provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of fluids, as well as provide well site construction and maintenance services. These services are required in most workover, completion and
remedial projects and are routinely used in daily producing well operations.
|
|
|
•
|
|
Well Servicing.
Our well servicing segment operates our fleet of 421 well servicing rigs and related equipment. This business segment encompasses a full range of services performed with a mobile well servicing
rig, including the installation and removal of downhole equipment and elimination of obstructions in the well bore to facilitate the flow of oil and natural gas. These services are performed to establish, maintain and improve production throughout
the productive life of an oil and natural gas well and to plug and abandon a well at the end of its productive life. Our well servicing equipment and capabilities also facilitate most other services performed on a well.
|
|
|
•
|
|
Contract Drilling.
Our contract drilling segment operates our fleet of 12 drilling rigs and related equipment. We use these assets to penetrate the earth to a desired depth and initiate production from a well.
|
On October 25, 2016, Basic and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions (the cases commenced thereby, the
“Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to pursue a balance sheet restructuring pursuant to a Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of the
debtors (as amended and confirmed, the “Prepackaged Plan”). On December 23, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), the Prepackaged Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Company emerged from its Chapter 11 Cases.
You can find more information about the Prepackaged Plan and our emergence from bankruptcy in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016
10-K”),
which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our principal executive offices are located at 801 Cherry Street, Suite 2100, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 and our telephone number is (817)
334-4100.
Our Internet website is www.basicenergyservices.com. The information contained on or that can be accessed through our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this
prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, including the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties described in this
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our
business. For more information, please see “Where You Can Find More Information” above.
2
USE OF PROCEEDS
Any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by this prospectus will be received by the selling stockholders, and we will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of such shares. We will incur all of the costs associated with the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus. We will also reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket
expenses of one counsel retained by the holders of a majority of the registered shares offered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders will pay all
underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes;
provided
that the Company will pay 50% of the underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions of the first two underwritten offerings of the shares registered
under this prospectus by each selling stockholder that beneficially owns at least 10% of our outstanding shares.
3
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, on the Effective Date, all obligations under the Company’s senior unsecured notes were cancelled. In
exchange for cancelling these notes, the Company issued shares of its common stock to parties that include the selling stockholders, and certain of the selling stockholders purchased additional shares of common stock in connection with the rights
offering conducted under the Prepackaged Plan, or received such shares. The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered pursuant to the registration rights agreement, dated December 23, 2016 (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), between the Company and the selling stockholders to permit public sales of such shares.
The following table sets forth
the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of them as of April 10, 2017, the percentage of our total outstanding common stock beneficially owned by each of them as of April 10,
2017, the number of shares of common stock being offered by each of them, the number of shares of common stock each selling stockholder will beneficially own if the stockholder sells all of the common stock being registered and each selling
stockholder’s percentage beneficial ownership of our total outstanding common stock if all of the common stock in the offering is sold. As used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the
successors-in-interest,
donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling stockholders’ shares. The selling stockholders may offer the common stock for resale from time to time pursuant to
this prospectus. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell any of the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus.
All information with respect to common stock ownership has been furnished by or on behalf of the selling stockholders and publicly available
SEC filings. We believe, based on information supplied by the selling stockholders and subject to community property laws where applicable, that, except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each selling stockholder has
sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the common stock reported as beneficially owned by it. Because the selling stockholders may sell all, part or none of the common stock held by them, no assurance can be given as to the number of
shares of common stock that a selling stockholder will hold upon termination of any offering made hereby. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at
any time and from time to time, the common stock held by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), after the date on which it provided the information
set forth on the table below. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering, none of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholders.
Beneficial ownership for the purposes of this table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules
generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60
days.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to permit the selling stockholders to conduct public secondary trading of
such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of such
common stock will be the purchase price of the common stock less any discounts and commissions. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of common stock to be made
directly or through agents.
The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
|
|
•
|
|
directly by the selling stockholders and their successors, which includes their donees, pledgees or transferees or their
successors-in-interest;
or
|
|
|
•
|
|
through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or concessions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the common stock. These discounts,
commissions or concessions may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.
|
Any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any affiliate of a selling stockholder that is a registered
broker-dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter. As a result, any profits on the sale of the common stock by such selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by it may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act. Affiliates of selling stockholders who are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act.
The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at:
|
|
•
|
|
prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
|
|
|
•
|
|
prices related to such prevailing market prices;
|
|
|
•
|
|
varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
|
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:
|
|
•
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale;
|
|
|
•
|
|
in transactions other than on such exchanges or services or in the
over-the-counter
market;
|
|
|
•
|
|
through the writing of options (including the issuance by the selling stockholders of derivative securities), whether the options or such other derivative securities are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
•
|
|
through the settlement of short sales; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
through any combination of the foregoing.
|
These transactions may include block transactions
or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
In connection with the sales
of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which in turn may:
7
|
|
•
|
|
engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging their positions;
|
|
|
•
|
|
sell the shares of common stock short and deliver the shares of common stock to close out short positions;
|
|
|
•
|
|
loan or pledge the shares of common stock to broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may sell the shares of common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
|
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of the shares of common stock, which the
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell under the prospectus; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
enter into transactions in which a broker-dealer makes purchases as a principal for resale for its own account or through other types of transactions.
|
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of its shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus.
Further, we cannot assure you that any such selling stockholder will not transfer, devise or gift the shares of common stock owned by it by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any common stock covered by this prospectus that
qualify for sale under Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may also be sold to
non-U.S.
persons outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of common stock may be sold in some states only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the shares of common stock will be subject to the applicable
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other such person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the particular common stock being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
We will incur all of the costs associated with the registration of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We will also
reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket
expenses of one counsel retained by the holders of a majority of the registered shares of
common stock offered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and
stock transfer taxes;
provided
that the Company will pay 50% of the underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions of the first two underwritten offerings of the shares registered under this prospectus by each selling stockholder that
beneficially owns at least 10% of our outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, we may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders
specifically for use in this prospectus.

Item 15.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Basic Energy Services,
Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any
such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Basic’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that indemnification shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for all
current or former directors or officers of Basic. As permitted by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation provides that directors of Basic shall have no personal liability to Basic or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Basic or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law,
(3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
We have also entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and some of our executive officers (including each of our named
executive officers). These indemnification agreements are intended to permit indemnification to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. It is possible that the applicable law could
change the degree to which indemnification is expressly permitted.
The indemnification agreements cover expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred as a result of the fact that such person, in his or her capacity as a director or officer, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding. The
indemnification agreements generally cover claims relating to the fact that the indemnified party is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of us or any of our affiliates, or is or was serving at our request in such a position for another
entity. The indemnification agreements also obligate us to promptly advance all
II-1
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any claim. The indemnitee is, in turn, obligated to reimburse us for all amounts so advanced if it is later determined that the indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification. The indemnification provided under the indemnification agreements is not exclusive of any other indemnity rights; however, double payment to the indemnitee is prohibited.
We are not obligated to indemnify the indemnitee with respect to claims brought by the indemnitee against:
|
|
•
|
|
claims regarding the indemnitee’s rights under the indemnification agreement;
|
|
|
•
|
|
claims to enforce a right to indemnification under any statute or law; and
|
|
|
•
|
|
counter-claims against us in a proceeding brought by us against the indemnitee; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
any other person, except for claims approved by our board of directors.
|
We have also agreed
to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of each of the above indemnitees. These policies will include coverage for losses for wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure our performance under the indemnification
agreements. Each of the indemnitees will be named as an insured under such policies and provided with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of our directors and officers.
The exhibits listed in the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed
(except where otherwise indicated) as part of this registration statement.
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the
effective registration statement;
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs A(l)(a), A(l)(b) and A(1)(c) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of
1933 to any purchaser:
II-2
(a) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be
deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(b) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in
reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in
the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for
liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus
relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided
,
however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to
such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3
