On July 2, 2010, Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), agreed to sell its pressure pumping and wireline services businesses and related assets (the “Divested Businesses”) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Patterson-UTI”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Key Energy Pressure Pumping Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Key Electric Wireline Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Patterson-UTI and its wholly-owned subsidiary Portofino Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation. The Company anticipates total consideration for the sale of the Divested Businesses, which includes retained working capital (other than inventory), to approximate $256.7 million, of which approximately $237.7 million will be paid in cash at closing.

The Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide other factual information about the parties thereto. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement were made only for the purpose of such Agreement, were made as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that were exchanged in connection with signing the Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Agreement. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts at the time they were made or otherwise.
