Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2016, Key Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Promotion Bonus Agreement (the “Promotion Agreement”) with Robert Drummond on February 17, 2016 in connection with the announcement of his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer. On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a revised Promotion Bonus Agreement (the “Revised Agreement”) with Mr. Drummond. The Revised Agreement amends the Promotion Agreement to provide that (i) the Retention Period will be from March 5, 2016 through March 5, 2018; and (ii) the Promotion Bonus will vest in full if Mr. Drummond’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than for “Cause” within 12 months following a “Change in Control” (both terms as defined in the Revised Agreement), rather than on a pro-rata basis as provided by the Promotion Agreement.

The foregoing does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revised Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
