HOUSTON, March 11,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Well Services, Inc.
(NASDAQ: USWS) ("USWS" or the "Company") today announced the
closing of its previously announced registered direct offering of
14,180,375 shares of its common stock priced at-the-market under
Nasdaq rules at a purchase price of $1.763 per share. The Company has also issued to
the investors, in a concurrent private placement, unregistered
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,180,375 shares of
common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.763 per share, are immediately exercisable and
will expire three and one-half years following the date of
issuance.
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent
for the offering.
The gross proceeds from the registered direct offering and
concurrent private placement were approximately $25 million, before deducting placement agent's
fees and other offering expenses. USWS currently intends to
use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital
purposes, including the funding of certain capital expenditures.
USWS has not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used
specifically for any of the foregoing purposes.
The shares of common stock described above (but not the warrants
or the shares of common stock underlying the warrants) were offered
and sold by USWS in a registered direct offering pursuant to an
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
March 22, 2019 and subsequently
declared effective on April 22, 2019
(File No. 333-230471), and the base prospectus dated as of
April 22, 2019 contained therein. The
offering of the shares of common stock was made only by means of a
prospectus supplement that forms a part of the effective
registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and the
accompanying base prospectus relating to the shares of common stock
offered in the registered direct offering have been filed with the
SEC and are available on the SEC's website located at
http://www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of the final prospectus
supplement and the accompanying base prospectus may also be

The warrants issued in the concurrent private placement under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the
shares of common stock underlying the warrants, have not been

Accordingly, the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock
may not be offered or sold in the United
States except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities
laws.
