Fifth Amendment to Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement
Reference is made to that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated December 27, 2023, by and among Alpine Holding II, LLC (“Alpine Holding”), PF Proppant Holding, LLC (“PFP Holding”), the subsidiary guarantor parties thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the several lenders thereto (the “Lenders”) and CLMG Corp., as the agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”) (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement”). On September 11, 2026, the parties to the Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement and ProFrac Holding Corp. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 5 to Term Loan Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to Guarantee Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment” and the Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the “Amended Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this summary of the Fifth Amendment have the meanings provided in the Amended Alpine Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Under the terms of the Fifth Amendment, among other changes: (i) PFP Holding may elect for 675 basis points of the interest rate applied to outstanding principal on any interest payment date occurring on September 1, 2026 and for twelve (12) months thereafter to be paid in kind and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans; (ii) the maturity date was extended from January 26, 2029 to February 15, 2030; (iii) the amortization payment required to be made by PFP Holding with respect to each of the calendar quarters ending September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026, March 31, 2027, June 30, 2027, September 30, 2027, December 31, 2027 and March 31, 2028 was reduced from $15,000,000 per quarter to $0 per quarter, increasing to $10,000,000 per quarter thereafter, and reverting to $15,000,000 per quarter upon repayment in full of ProFrac Holdings II, LLC’s Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2029; (iv) the Borrower will be required to prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of excess cash flow each quarter; (v) the Unsecured ProFrac Guarantee was amended to restrict distributions by the Company of cash or other property, subject to customary exceptions and a $1,000,000 annual basket; (vi) certain negative covenants were curtailed; and (vii) the Affiliate Loan Assignment and Cancellation described in further detail below was permitted.

Affiliate Loan Assignment and Cancellation
Concurrently with the Fifth Amendment, a Lender assigned $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (the “2026 Term Loans”) to THRC Holdings, LP (“THRC”) and Farris C. Wilks, a natural person (“FW” and, together with THRC, the “Affiliate Loan Lenders”), of which $34,320,000 was assigned to THRC and $25,680,000 was assigned to FW. The 2026 Term Loans were designated as a new and separate class of Term Loans. Concurrently with such assignment, ProFrac GDM, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold to the Affiliate Loan Lenders, pursuant to stock transfer agreements (the “Flotek Share Transfer Agreements”), an aggregate of 2,306,806 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Flotek Industries, Inc., in exchange for the Affiliate Loan Lenders’ agreement that the 2026 Term Loans be repaid in full and cancelled. Upon closing of the Flotek Share Transfer Agreements, the 2026 Term Loans (including any prepayment premium or make-whole amount) were deemed repaid in full and cancelled, and the Company’s guaranty obligations with respect to the 2026 Term Loans were satisfied and released.
Messrs. Dan H. Wilks and Farris C. Wilks are brothers and are the founders and principal stockholders of the Company. THRC is an entity affiliated with Dan H. Wilks.
