Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On November 3, 2022, David Baldwin resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Select Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately. His resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any of its affiliates on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company.

On November 4, 2022, at the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board, the Board appointed Robin Fielder as an independent director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Baldwin’s resignation. Concurrently with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Fielder was appointed to both the Audit Committee and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board.

The Board has determined that Ms. Fielder meets the independence requirements under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

There are no understandings or arrangements between Ms. Fielder and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Fielder was selected to serve as a director of the Board. There are no relationships between Ms. Fielder and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. Fielder will receive the standard compensation paid by the Company to its non-employee directors, as described under “Director Compensation” in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2022. Additionally, the Company purchases and maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for, and provides indemnification to, each member of the Board.

On November 4, 2022, the Company, with the approval of the Board, entered into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Fielder (the “Indemnification Agreement”) in connection with her role as a director of the Company. The Indemnification Agreement requires the Company to indemnify Ms. Fielder to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against liability that may arise by reason of her service to the Company and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against her as to which she could be indemnified. The Indemnification Agreement is in substantially the form referenced as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
