Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 20, 2025 (the “Sale Date”), two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors”), PD Dutch, LLC and PD ITS, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Covey Holdings, LLC (the “Buyer”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Superior”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which all of the equity interests in Quail Tools, LLC (“Quail”) were sold by Sellers to Buyer on the Sale Date (the “Sale”).

The net consideration paid by Buyer in connection with the Sale was $600.0 million plus adjustments for net working capital. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the consideration consisted of (a) $375.0 million in cash which was paid by Buyer on the Sale Date and (b) $250.0 million in the form of a secured promissory note (the “Seller Note”) issued by Buyer in favor of PD ITS, LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Seller Note and Security Agreement by and among Buyer, Quail, Superior and Lender (the “Seller Note and Security Agreement”).

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants regarding Quail, Sellers and Buyer.

The Seller Note is due on May 20, 2026 and is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all existing and after-acquired property of Quail and a pledge on 100% of the equity interests in Quail. The Seller Note also contains certain negative covenants, including restricting Buyer’s and/or Quail’s ability (and in certain circumstances, Superior’s ability), subject to certain specified exceptions, to incur debt, grant liens, merge, make certain restricted payments, sell its assets, prepay debt or amend its organizational documents. Subject to certain exceptions, Buyer and Quail will use the proceeds from certain events of loss, assets sales and debt issuances, to prepay the Seller Note.

The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of 7.50% for the first 180 days and thereafter interest at a rate of 10.0%, with such interest to be paid monthly. If there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Seller Note and Security Agreement), the interest rate will increase by 2% over the current interest rate. In addition, if the obligations under the Seller Note and Security Agreement are not paid in full by May 20, 2026, the interest rate will increase by an additional 1% for each month such obligations are not paid in full; provided, however, the interest rate shall not exceed 20%.

The Seller Note is guaranteed by Superior and Quail pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement they granted in favor of the Lender for both performance and for payment (the “Guaranty Agreement”).

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specified dates. The representations and warranties in the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement reflect negotiations between the parties to the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, respectively, and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by investors, or any individual or other entity other than the parties. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed by the parties, including having been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, and having been made for purposes of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. In addition, the parties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by investors. As such, the representations and warranties in the Agreement, Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, the Seller Note and Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, and unless required by applicable law, Nabors undertakes no obligation to update such information.
