Keane / C&J Joint CEO Video Script

Don:

Robert:

Thanks, Don, and to the C&J team—Hello!

First, a little bit about me. I grew up in Alabama and graduated from the University of Alabama with a BS in Petroleum Engineering. I’ve been married to my wife, Donna, since college, and we have two grown daughters who are also working in oil and gas.

I joined Schlumberger right out of school as a field engineer in the U.S. and spent 31 years in a variety of roles including President of North America for the last five years there.

After that, and a very short-lived retirement, I joined Key Energy in 2015, where I served as President and COO, as well as CEO.

And, most recently, I was named CEO of Keane in August 2018.

I’ve always admired C&J for your best-in-class operations and commitment to safety, and I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity to work together.

I have spoken to a number of our customers since the deal was announced and have received nothing but positive feedback and advice to stay focused on our safety and service performance while we get ourselves organized.

C&J and Keane share a lot of the same values, which we believe will serve us well as we work to incorporate the best systems and processes from both companies into the way we do business.

I understand that Don touched on this in his most recent town hall, but I wanted to reiterate some of the benefits we see in our merger:

We have a lot to do, but there really is so much to look forward to. Since the merger announcement, we’ve kicked off our collaborative integration-planning process, which Don will talk a little more about. Don?

Don:

Robert:

I agree, Don—and I hope this has come through loud and clear to the C&J team—the most important factor to our success together is you, our people. You all are our greatest asset, and we want to retain and place exceptional talent at all positions as we build the new company.

This merger will create bigger and better opportunities for career development and growth, and that’s something everyone can look forward to.

I know the Keane team is also looking forward to joining C&J at the Rogerdale campus, which, if any of you haven’t heard, will be the corporate headquarters of the new company. It’s a great facility, and we’re excited to be there.

I’m eager to continue the work with the integration team, moving this merger forward and getting to know the C&J family in the weeks and months to come.

The words “believe” “continue,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “would” or the negative thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
