CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. When considering forward‑looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Part I, Item 1A.

CACTUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data, or as otherwise indicated)
1.Preparation of Interim Financial Statements and Other Items
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Cactus Companies, LLC (“Cactus Companies”). Cactus Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus Companies (“CC Units”). Cactus Inc. is the sole managing member of Cactus Companies and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cactus Companies and conducts its business through Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries. As a result, Cactus Inc. consolidates the financial results of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of CC Units not owned by Cactus Inc., which reduces net income attributable to holders of Cactus Inc.’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”). Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references to “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On February 28, 2023, Cactus Inc. through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the FlexSteel business through a merger (the “Merger”) with HighRidge Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HighRidge”). On February 27, 2023, in order to facilitate the Merger with HighRidge, an internal reorganization was completed in which Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing ownership interests in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the operating subsidiary of Cactus Inc. (the “CC Reorganization”). The purpose of the Merger was to effect the acquisition of the operations of FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HighRidge prior to the Merger and was converted into a limited liability company, contributed from HighRidge to Cactus Companies as part of the CC Reorganization and is now named FlexSteel Holdings, LLC (“FlexSteel”). The results of operations of FlexSteel have been reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 2 for additional information related to the acquisition.
Following the acquisition of FlexSteel, we now operate in two business segments: Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from available data, or is not otherwise capable of being readily calculated based on accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” The amendments in this ASU require entities to disclose on an annual basis specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet a specified
7


quantitative threshold. Entities will also be required to disclose annually income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid by individual jurisdictions that meet a five percent or greater threshold of total income taxes paid net of refunds received. The ASU also adds certain disclosures in order to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and removes certain disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and will be effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” in order to require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our segment disclosures.
2.FlexSteel Acquisition
On February 28, 2023 we completed the acquisition of FlexSteel. Including final adjustments for closing working capital, cash on hand and indebtedness adjustments as set forth in the merger agreement, we paid total cash consideration of $621.5 million with a potential future earn-out payment of up to $75.0 million, if certain revenue targets were met by FlexSteel through the period ending June 30, 2024.
Purchase Price Consideration
The final purchase price consideration for the acquisition was $627.5 million and is summarized as follows:
Purchase Price Consideration
Cash consideration$621,505 
Add: Contingent consideration (1)
5,960 
Fair value of consideration transferred$627,465 
(1) Represents the estimated fair value as of the acquisition date of the earn-out payment of up to $75.0 million of additional cash consideration if certain revenue targets were met by FlexSteel. The estimated fair value of the earn-out payment was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology based on probability-weighted performance projections and other inputs, including a discount rate.
Changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability subsequent to the acquisition date have been recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The contingent consideration earn-out period ended on June 30, 2024 and resulted in a final earn-out liability of $37.0 million, which is expected to be paid in August 2024.

Purchase Price Allocation
The following table provides the final allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date:
Cash and cash equivalents$5,316 
Receivables58,002 
Inventories91,746 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets1,283 
Property and equipment206,928 
Operating lease right-of-use assets1,021 
Identifiable intangible assets200,300 
Other noncurrent assets5,666 
Total assets acquired570,262 
Accounts payable(14,975)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities(26,827)
Finance lease obligations(974)
Operating lease liabilities(906)
Deferred tax liabilities(94,319)
Total liabilities assumed(138,001)
Net assets acquired432,261 
Goodwill$195,204 

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Cactus being treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by management, based in part on independent valuations performed by third-party valuation specialists. The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships and backlog using customer inputs and contributory charges and the relief from royalty method for tradename and developed technology.

The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accounts payable and most other current assets and liabilities, other than inventory, were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. Acquired inventories were comprised of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, less costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The fair value of identifiable fixed assets was calculated using a combination of valuation approaches, but primarily consisted of the cost approach which adjusts estimates of replacement cost for the age, condition and utility of the associated assets.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired.

3.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Our customers are predominantly oil and gas exploration and production companies located in the U.S. Our receivables are short-term in nature and typically due in 30 to 60 days. We do not accrue interest on delinquent receivables. Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers and unbilled amounts resulting from accrued revenue associated with products delivered and services performed for which billings have not yet been submitted to the customers. Total unbilled revenue included in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $35.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively.
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the amount of billed receivables we believe to be at risk of loss. In our determination of the allowance for credit losses, we pool receivables with similar risk characteristics based on customer size, credit ratings, payment history, bankruptcy status and other factors known to us and apply an expected credit loss percentage. The expected credit loss percentage is determined using historical loss data adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for credit losses. The following is a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses.

4.Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates average cost. Costs include an application of related material, direct labor, duties, tariffs, freight and overhead costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Reserves are made for excess and obsolete items based on a range of factors, including age, usage and technological or market changes that may impact demand for those products. Inventories consist of the following:

7.Debt
We had no bank debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We had $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding and were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined below) as of June 30, 2024.
In August 2018, Cactus LLC entered into a five-year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for such lenders and as an issuing bank and swingline lender (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility was amended in September 2020 and July 2022. On February 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, Cactus Companies assumed the rights and obligations of Cactus LLC as Borrower under the ABL Credit Facility, and the ABL Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety (the “Amended ABL Credit Facility”). The Amended ABL Credit Facility provided a term loan of $125.0 million and up to $225.0 million in revolving commitments, of which $20.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Amended ABL Credit Facility, Cactus Companies may request additional revolving commitments in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, for a total of up to $275.0 million in revolving commitments. The term loan under the Amended ABL Credit Facility was set to mature on February 27, 2026 and any revolving loans under the Amended ABL Credit Facility mature on July 26, 2027. The maximum amount that Cactus Companies may borrow under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
We borrowed the full $125.0 million term loan amount and $30.0 million as a revolving loan at closing of the Amended ABL Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Merger. The term loan was required to be repaid in regular set amounts starting July 1, 2023 as set forth in the amortization schedule in the Amended ABL Credit Facility and could be prepaid without the payment of any prepayment premium (other than customary breakage costs for Term Benchmark (as defined below) borrowings). The term loan and revolving loan were repaid in full in July 2023.
Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility bear interest at Cactus Companies’ option at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined therein) (“ABR”), or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined therein) (“Term Benchmark”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Letters of credit issued under the Amended ABL Credit Facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin is 2.50% per annum for term loan ABR borrowings and 3.50% per annum for term loan Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings ranges from 0.0% to 0.5% per annum for revolving loan ABR borrowings and 1.25% to 1.75% per annum for revolving loan Term Benchmark borrowings and, in each case, is based on the average quarterly availability of the revolving loan commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The unused portion of revolving commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit Cactus Companies’ and each of its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and create liens, make investments or loans, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell assets, make certain restricted payments and distributions, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Cactus Companies and secured by a security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and certain other real and personal property assets of Cactus Companies and the guarantors. Until the term loan was paid in full, the Amended ABL Credit Facility required Cactus Companies to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 based on the ratio of Total Indebtedness (as defined therein) to EBITDA (as defined therein). The Amended ABL Credit Facility requires Cactus Companies to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein) minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures (as defined therein) to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is under certain levels. If Cactus Companies fails to perform its obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility, (i) the revolving commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Facility could be terminated, (ii) any outstanding borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable, and (iii) the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility was amended in December 2023 to incorporate certain changes related to revised and new definitions associated with the satisfaction of payment conditions for restricted payments, investments, permitted acquisitions, periodic reporting and asset dispositions. The amendment did not change the ABR, applicable margin rates, commitment fees, the maturity date, borrowing availability or covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility other than timing of certain reporting requirements.

8.Revenue
The majority of our revenues are derived from short-term contracts for fixed consideration, or in the case of rentals, for a fixed charge per day, plus repairs while the equipment is in use by the customer. Product sales generally do not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or providing services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to provide agreed upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We do not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We do not incur any material costs of obtaining contracts.
We do not adjust the amount of consideration per the contract for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, which is in substantially all cases. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of invoicing. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We treat shipping and handling associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for the associated shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.
We disaggregate revenue into three categories: product revenues, rental revenues and field service and other revenues. We have predominately domestic operations with a small amount of sales in Australia, Canada, the Middle East and other international markets. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by category:

At June 30, 2024, we had a deferred revenue balance of $8.6 million compared to the December 31, 2023 balance of $8.1 million. Deferred revenue represents our obligation to transfer products to or perform services for a customer for which we have received cash or billed in advance of delivering products or services. The revenue that has been deferred will be recognized upon product delivery or as services are performed. As of June 30, 2024, we did not have any contracts with an original length of greater than a year from which revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.
9.Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA)
In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2018, we entered into the TRA which generally provides for payment by Cactus Inc. to certain direct and indirect owners of Cactus LLC (after the CC Reorganization, Cactus Companies) of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Cactus Inc. actually realizes or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. Cactus Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.
The TRA liability is calculated by determining the tax basis subject to the TRA (“tax basis”) and applying a blended tax rate to the basis differences and calculating the resulting iterative impact. The blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the TRA liability are recognized in the statements of income as a component of other expense, net. As of June 30, 2024, the total liability from the TRA was $265.1 million with $5.6 million reflected in current liabilities based on the expected timing of our next payment. The current liability of $5.6 million is reflective of a $15.3 million payment during the second quarter of 2024. The payments under the TRA will not be conditional on a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either Cactus Companies or Cactus Inc.
13


The term of the TRA commenced upon completion of our IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA. If we elect to terminate the TRA early (or it is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), our obligations under the TRA would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the TRA, and such payment is expected to be substantial. The calculation of anticipated future payments is based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumptions that (i) we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the TRA and (ii) any CC Units (other than those held by Cactus Inc.) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.
We may elect to defer payments due under the TRA if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the TRA. Any such deferred payments under the TRA generally will accrue interest from the due date for such payment until the payment date.
In March of 2024, the TRA was amended to replace all references to one year LIBOR with references to the 12-month term SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited, plus 71.513 basis points. Additionally, all references to Cactus LLC were replaced with references to Cactus Companies in relation to the CC Reorganization.
10.Equity
As of June 30, 2024, Cactus Inc. owned 83.6% of Cactus Companies as compared to 82.3% of Cactus Companies as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, Cactus Inc. had outstanding 66.5 million shares of Class A common stock (representing 83.6% of the total voting power) and 13.1 million shares of Class B common stock (representing 16.4% of the total voting power).
Equity Offering
In January 2023, Cactus Inc. completed an underwritten offering of 3,224,300 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the underwriters of $51.36 per share for net proceeds of $165.6 million (net of $6.9 million of underwriting discounts and commissions). In addition to the underwriting discounts and commissions, approximately $2.2 million of costs directly associated with the stock issuance were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
FlexSteel Acquisition
In conjunction with the FlexSteel acquisition, a restricted stock award of 128,150 shares of Class A common stock was issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plan to a key employee in exchange for cash consideration of $6.5 million. The shares were restricted from sale or trading and were subject to vesting requirements for one year from grant date.
CC Reorganization
As part of the CC Reorganization in connection with the acquisition of FlexSteel, Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing limited liability company interests of Cactus LLC (“CW Units”) in exchange for an equal number of CC Units issued to each of the previous owners of CW Units other than Cactus Inc. (the “CW Unit Holders”). Upon the completion of the CC Reorganization, CW Unit Holders ceased to be holders of CW Units and, instead, became holders of a number of CC Units equal to the number of CW Units such CW Unit Holders held immediately prior to the completion of the CC Reorganization. After the CC Reorganization, we refer to the owners of CC Units, other than Cactus Inc. (along with their permitted transferees), as “CC Unit Holders.” Following the completion of the CC Reorganization, CC Unit Holders own one share of our Class B Common Stock for each CC Unit such CC Unit Holder owns.
In connection with the CC Reorganization, Cactus Inc. and the owners of CC Units entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus Companies (the “Cactus Companies LLC Agreement”), which contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus LLC (the “Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement”), which was the limited liability company operating agreement of Cactus LLC prior to the CC Reorganization. Cactus Inc. was responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Cactus LLC’s business for the period from completion of our IPO until the CC Reorganization and relating to Cactus Companies’ business for periods after the CC Reorganization.
14


Redemptions of CC Units
Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, holders of CC Units are entitled to redeem their CC Units, which results in additional Class A common stock outstanding. Since our IPO in February 2018, an aggregate of 47.5 million CC Units (including CW Units prior to the CC Reorganization) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 1.0 million and 0.2 million CC Units, respectively, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, were redeemed in exchange for Class A common stock in accordance with the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.
Dividends
Aggregate cash dividends of $0.24 and $0.22 per share of Class A common stock were declared during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaling $16.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively. Cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $16.1 million and $14.5 million, respectively. Dividends accrue on unvested equity-based awards on the date of record and are paid upon vesting. Dividends are not paid to our Class B common stockholders; however, a corresponding distribution up to the same amount per share as our Class A common stockholders is paid to the owners of CC Units other than Cactus Inc. for any dividends declared on our Class A common stock. See further discussion of the distributions below under “Member Distributions.”
Share Repurchase Program
On June 6, 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased and retired 86,599 shares of Class A common stock for $3.4 million, or $38.92 average price per share excluding commissions, under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.
Member Distributions
Distributions made by Cactus Companies are generally required to be made pro rata among all its members. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Cactus Companies distributed $42.5 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend, TRA and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $8.6 million over the same period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cactus Companies distributed $20.4 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $4.7 million.
Limitation of Members’ Liability
Under the terms of the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, the members of Cactus Companies are not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Cactus Companies. Profits and losses are allocated to members as defined in the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.
11.Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe the outcome of these disputes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
12.Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs), observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
15


The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these accounts.
At December 31, 2023, the earn-out liability was measured at a fair value of $20.8 million using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The fair value at December 31, 2023 was determined based on the evaluation of the probability and amount of earn-out that may be achieved based on expected future performance of FlexSteel using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model used assumptions including revenue volatilities, risk free rates, credit discount rates and revenue discount rates. The following table sets forth the range of inputs for the significant assumptions utilized to determine the fair value as of December 31, 2023:
December 31, 2023
Risk-free interest rate5.40%to5.63%
Expected revenue volatility21.70%
Revenue discount rate10.02%to10.23%
Credit discount rate9.85%
The following table presents a summary of the changes in fair value of our liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs:
Earn-out
Opening Balance$5,960 
Changes in fair value14,850 
Balance at December 31, 2023$20,810 
The FlexSteel acquisition contingent consideration earn-out period ended June 30, 2024. The earn-out payment is expected to be paid in August 2024 and represents the achievement of certain revenue targets met by FlexSteel.
The fair value of our foreign currency forwards was less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and was determined using market observable inputs including forward and spot prices (Level 2 inputs).
13.Segment Reporting
We operate in two business segments that offer different products and services and correspond to the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment.
Our reporting segments are:
Pressure Control – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of wellhead and pressure control equipment utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of oil and gas wells.
Spoolable Technologies – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of onshore spoolable pipe technologies utilized for production, gathering and takeaway transportation of oil, gas or other liquids.

14.Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during the period by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during that period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.
We use the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding CC Units and corresponding shares of outstanding Class B common stock. We use the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock-based compensation awards assuming that the proceeds will be used to purchase shares of Class A common stock. For our unvested performance stock units, we first apply the criteria for contingently issuable shares before determining the potential dilutive effect using the treasury stock method.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated as discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict, including those described above in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and in the risk factors included in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law.
Executive Summary
Cactus is an equipment solutions provider primarily for onshore oil and gas markets. Founded in 2011 by a management group that previously operated two of the largest wellhead providers at the time, Cactus has rapidly grown to be a leading provider of wellhead solutions to the U.S. onshore market. On February 28, 2023, Cactus acquired FlexSteel, which similarly grew from its founding in 2003 to its current status as a leading provider of spoolable pipe technologies primarily to the U.S. onshore market. We believe this acquisition enhances our position as a premier manufacturer and provider of highly engineered equipment to the exploration and production ("E&P") industry and should provide meaningful growth. We further believe FlexSteel’s products are highly complementary to Cactus’ equipment as it expands our exposure to our customers’ operations from production trees to transportation of oil, gas and other liquids as well as to additional customers operating in the midstream area.
Demand for our products and services depends primarily upon oil and gas industry activity levels, including the number of active drilling rigs, the number of wells being drilled, the number of wells being completed, and the volume of newly producing wells, among other factors.
Revenues
Our revenues are derived from three sources: products, rentals, and field service and other. Product revenues are derived from the sale of wellhead systems, production trees and spoolable pipe and fittings. Rental revenues are derived from the rental of equipment used during the completion process, the repair of such equipment and the rental of equipment or tools used to install wellhead equipment or spoolable pipe. Field service and other revenues are earned when we provide installation and other field services for both product sales and equipment rental.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we derived 76% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 9% of total revenues from rental and 15% of total revenues from field service and other. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we derived 73% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 11% of total revenues from rental and 16% of total revenues from field service and other. We have predominantly domestic operations with more limited operations in Australia, Canada, and the Middle East, as well as sales in other international markets.
We operate in two business segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment.
Pressure Control
The Pressure Control segment designs, manufactures, sells and rents a range of wellhead and pressure control equipment under the Cactus Wellhead brand. Products are sold and rented principally for onshore unconventional oil and gas wells and are utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of our customers’ wells. In addition, we provide field services for all of our products and rental items to assist with the installation, maintenance and handling of the equipment.
We operate through service centers in the United States, which are strategically located in the key oil and gas producing regions, and in Australia. These service centers support our field services and provide equipment assembly and repair services. We also provide rental and service operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pressure Control manufacturing and production facilities are located in Bossier City, Louisiana and Suzhou, China.
19


Demand for our product sales in the Pressure Control segment is driven primarily by the number of new wells drilled, as each new well requires a wellhead and, after the completion phase, a production tree. Demand for our rental items is driven primarily by the number of well completions as we rent frac trees to oil and gas operators to assist in hydraulic fracturing. Rental demand is also driven to a lesser extent by drilling activity as we rent tools used in the installation of wellheads. Field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales and rentals, as items sold or rented almost always have an associated service component.
Spoolable Technologies
The Spoolable Technologies segment designs, manufactures, and sells spoolable pipe and associated end fittings under the FlexSteel brand. Our customers use these products primarily as production, gathering, and takeaway pipelines to transport oil, gas or other liquids. In addition, we also provide field services and rental items to assist our customers with the installation of these products. We support our field service operations through service centers and pipe yards located in oil and gas regions throughout the United States and Western Canada. Our manufacturing facility is located in Baytown, Texas.
Demand for our product sales in the Spoolable Technologies segment is driven primarily by the number of wells being placed into production after the completions phase as customers use our spoolable pipe and associated fittings to bring wells more rapidly onto production. Rental and field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales, as items sold usually have an associated rental and service component.
Recent Developments and Trends
FlexSteel Acquisition
As previously discussed, we completed the acquisition of FlexSteel on February 28, 2023. The results of operations of FlexSteel have been reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the acquisition.
Oil and Natural Gas Prices
The following table summarizes average oil and natural gas prices in North America over the indicated periods, as well as industry activity levels as reflected by the average number of active onshore drilling rigs during the same periods.

In the second quarter of 2024, U.S. land drilling and completion activity levels were down approximately 3% from the first quarter of 2024 and down approximately 13% from the 2023 full year average. Average oil prices increased modestly in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as oil demand continued to grow and outpaced supply growth, keeping prices elevated. Prices were also influenced higher due to continued geopolitical risk concerns. Natural gas prices declined 4% in the second quarter of 2024 from the first quarter of 2024, as production curtailments and activity reductions have failed to sufficiently offset weaker demand from warmer weather and delayed export plans. U.S. gas storage levels remain well above five-year average levels. The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have led to heightened commodity volatility and increased risk to the global supply chain.

Pillar Two Framework
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) enacted rules (“Pillar Two”) for a new, global minimum tax of at least 15% on income arising in low-tax jurisdictions. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this new legislation will have on our consolidated financial statements; however, based on current enacted legislation, management anticipates the impact of Pillar Two to be immaterial to the Company for 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is contained in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have not been any changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The following discussions relating to significant line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items.
We have two operating segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment. Our results of operations are evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of our operating segments is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income (in addition to other measures), which is defined as income before taxes and before interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net and corporate and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments. Prior to January 1, 2024, Corporate and other expenses were included in our Pressure Control segment. The Company has recast the information for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to align with the presentation for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $187.2 million, an increase of $12.2 million, or 6.9%, from the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased customer activity resulting in increased sales of wellhead and production related equipment, increased rental activity and higher field service activity. Pressure Control operating income of $55.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 increased $4.0 million, or 7.7% from the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to the overall increase in customer activity. Pressure Control selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $2.0 million from the first quarter primarily due to an increase in personnel costs and other reserves.
Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $103.7 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 4.7% from the first quarter of 2024. Total operating income for Spoolable Technologies for the second quarter of 2024 was $30.0 million, compared to operating income of $16.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a $2.9 million expense related to the change in fair value of the earn-out payment for the FlexSteel acquisition in the second quarter of 2024 compared to a larger expense of $13.3 million related to the change in fair value of the earn-out payment for the FlexSteel acquisition recognized in the first quarter of 2024.
Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue represents the elimination of inter-segment sales from our Pressure Control segment to our Spoolable technologies segment. Corporate and other expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $5.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 6.8% from $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and bonus expense.
Interest income, net. Interest income, net was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.7 million from the first quarter of 2024. The increase in interest income, net was primarily due to higher interest income earned on a higher invested cash balance.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $18.2 million compared to $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense from the first quarter was primarily due to an increase in operating income quarter over quarter. Cactus Inc. is only subject to federal and state income tax on its share of income from Cactus Companies. Income allocated to the non-controlling interest is only taxable to the non-controlling interest.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue was $362.2 million for the first six months of 2024, a decrease of $31.6 million, or 8.0%, from the first six months of 2023. The lower revenue was primarily due to decreased sales of wellhead and production related equipment resulting from lower drilling and completion activity by our customers. In addition, rental of drilling and completion equipment and field service associated with product and rental revenues decreased as a result of the decline in activity. Operating income of $107.3 million in the first six months of 2024 decreased $18.7 million, or 14.8%, from the first six months of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower gross margins during the period due to the decreased customer activity levels and higher SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily related to higher personnel costs, bad debt expense and stock-based compensation expense.
Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $202.8 million, an increase of $62.4 million, or 44.4%, from the first six months of 2023, as results for the first six months of 2023 only included four months of revenues from the FlexSteel acquisition, which closed on February 28, 2023. Total operating income was $46.4 million in the first six months of 2024, an increase of $52.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million in the first six months of 2023, which included only four months of income. Operating income for the first six months of 2024 included $16.2 million of expense related to the change in fair value of the earn-out liability for the FlexSteel acquisition and $8.0 million of intangible amortization. Operating loss for the first six months of 2023 included approximately $18.0 million of expense related to the change in fair value of the estimated earn-out liability, $23.5 million of inventory step-up expense and $12.3 million of intangible amortization expense as well as depreciation expense of $5.5 million primarily associated with the step-up of fixed assets in connection with accounting for the purchased assets at fair value in conjunction with purchase accounting.
Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue represents the elimination of inter-segment sales from our Pressure Control segment to our Spoolable technologies segment.Corporate and other expenses for the first six months of 2024 was $11.4
23


million, a decrease of $10.7 million, or 48.3% from the first six months of 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to lower professional fees related to transaction costs associated with the closing of and accounting for the FlexSteel acquisition.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest income, net for the first six months of 2024 was $2.1 million, compared to interest expense, net of $4.9 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on cash invested during the period. Interest expense for the first six months of 2023 related to outstanding borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility in conjunction with the FlexSteel acquisition.
Other income, net. Other income, net for 2023 related to non-cash adjustments for the revaluation of the liability related to the tax receivable agreement as a result of changes to the state tax rate.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2024 was $31.6 million compared to $12.1 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase in income tax expense from the first six months of 2023 was primarily due to an increase in operating income during the first six months of 2024, and fewer reductions in income tax expense for items specific to the first half of 2023. Income tax expense for the first half of 2023 included $21.1 million of expense associated with current income, offset by a $12.1 million benefit associated with the release of our valuation allowance previously provided for our investment in Cactus Companies based on the determination that the deferred tax asset was realizable due to our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate type. Additionally, we recognized $4.3 million of expense associated with the revaluation of our deferred tax asset as a result of a change in our forecasted state tax rate, and a $1.2 million benefit associated with permanent differences related to equity compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2024, we had $246.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand, cash flows generated by operating activities, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may also have the ability to issue additional equity and debt if needed. As of June 30, 2024, we had $220.1 million of available borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Facility with no outstanding borrowings, and $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Amended ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024.
The contingent consideration earn-out period related to the FlexSteel acquisition ended on June 30, 2024 and resulted in a final earn-out liability of $37.0 million, which we expect to pay in August 2024.
In June 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. As of June 30, 2024, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.
We believe that our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months to meet working capital requirements, debt service obligations, anticipated capital expenditures, the earn-out payment related to the FlexSteel acquisition, repurchases of shares of our Class A common stock, expected TRA liability payments, anticipated tax liabilities and dividends to holders of our Class A common stock as well as pro rata cash distributions to holders of CC Units other than Cactus Inc.
We currently estimate our net capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2024 will range from $35 million to $45 million. In the Pressure Control segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to rental fleet investments, international expansion and diversification of our low cost supply chain. In the Spoolable Technologies segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to manufacturing plant enhancements and additional deployment equipment used for product installation.
Our ability to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements, including cash requirements to fund income tax liabilities and the TRA liability at Cactus Inc., along with associated distributions to holders of CC Units relating to their ownership of Cactus Companies, depends on our future operating performance, which is affected by, and subject to, prevailing economic conditions, market conditions in the E&P industry, availability and cost of raw materials, and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will not be able to predict or control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the
24


markets where we operate, and competitive pressures. If necessary, we would likely choose to further reduce our spending on capital expenditures and operating expenses to ensure we operate within the cash flow generated from our operations.
Cash Flows
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Six Months Ended
June 30,
20242023
(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities$164,218 $168,518 
Net cash used in investing activities(14,054)(639,519)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities(37,195)190,687 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $164.2 million and $168.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Operating cash flows for 2024 decreased primarily due to an increase in cash outflows associated with working capital, partially offset by an increase in operating income.
Net cash used in investing activities was $14.1 million and $639.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to cash paid to acquire FlexSteel for $621.5 million less $5.3 million in cash acquired during the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, our capital expenditures decreased approximately $6.3 million primarily due to the $7.0 million purchase of a previously leased facility during the first half of 2023.
Net cash used in financing activities was $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $190.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to certain financing activities in 2023 associated with the FlexSteel acquisition. We received approximately $169.9 million of proceeds, net of issuance costs, from issuing shares of our Class A common stock during 2023. Additionally, we received $155.0 million from total borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility of which all $155.0 million has been repaid. The first half of 2023 included payments of approximately $6.8 million of debt issuance costs. The first half of 2024 includes a $3.9 million increase in share repurchases primarily associated with the Company's share repurchase program, increased distributions to members of $3.9 million, higher dividend payments of approximately $1.7 million and $0.4 million of additional payments on finance leases.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our 2023 Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2023.

Item 5.   Other Information.
On July 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of Cactus, Inc. amended and restated the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Cactus, Inc. (as so amended, the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective as of such date. The Amended and Restated Bylaws primarily include, among other things, revisions to (i) narrow the scope of information required to be provided by
26


stockholders seeking to nominate directors or propose other business before a meeting of stockholders, (ii) eliminate the requirement that a director nominee of a stockholder submitting a nomination pursuant to the proxy access provisions of the bylaws (a “proxy access nominee”) provide an irrevocable letter of resignation to become effective in certain circumstances, (iii) narrow the bases on which a proxy access nominee can be disqualified from being nominated for election and the nomination can be disregarded, and (iv) clarify that in the case of an uncontested election of directors the directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote in the election.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.6 and are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws. A marked version of the Amended and Restated Bylaws showing all amendments effective as of July 30, 2024 is attached as Exhibit 3.7.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) of Cactus, Inc. adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.1.    Annual Meetings. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The Board may, at any time prior to the holding of an annual meeting of stockholders, and for any reason, postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.
Section 2.2.    Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”), special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Board may, at any time prior to the holding of a special meeting of stockholders, and for any reason, postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of the stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.
Section 2.3.    Record Date.
(A)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or recess thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of
2

        
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or recess of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned or recessed meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned or recessed meeting the same date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned or recessed meeting.
(B)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 2.4.    Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
Section 2.5.    Place of Meeting. The Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of the stockholders. If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and any other applicable law for the participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held
3

        
solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.
Section 2.6.    Notice of Meeting. Written or printed notice, stating the place, if any, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, in a manner pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify (i) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), (ii) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (iii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, (iv) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called and (v) such other information as may be required by applicable law or as may be deemed appropriate by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation. If the stockholder list referred to in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed. If the meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of meeting must provide the information required to access such stockholder list during the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. The Corporation may provide stockholders with notice of a meeting by electronic transmission provided such stockholders have consented to receiving electronic notice in accordance with the DGCL. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by applicable law. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Section 7.4 of these Bylaws.
Section 2.7.    Quorum and Adjournment of Meetings.
(A)    Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. For the avoidance of doubt, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn or recess the meeting at any time and for any reason, whether or not there is such a quorum. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until the meeting is adjourned or recessed, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
4

        
(B)    Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn or recess from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned or recessed meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment or recess is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned or recessed meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2.8.    Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner prescribed by the DGCL) by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.
Section 2.9.    Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
(A)    Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(1)    Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof, (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law as to such business or nomination, or (d) with respect to nominations only, by any Eligible Stockholder (as defined in Section 2.10) (i) who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder notice described in Section 2.10 and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) who complies with the provisions of Section 2.10, (iii) who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iv) whose Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee (as defined in Section 2.10) is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for the meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clauses (c) and (d) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit any other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of the stockholders.
5

        
(2)    For any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(1)(c) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the close of the Corporation’s initial public offering, shall be deemed to be April 10, 2018); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or any announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this Section 2.9(A)(2) or Section 2.9(B)) to the Secretary of the Corporation must:
(a)    set forth, as to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (i) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records) (ii) (A) the class or series, if any, and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially or of record (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person (except that such Proposing Person shall be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future), (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, swap or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value or volatility of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, any “call equivalent position” or “put equivalent position” (as such terms are defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) (including any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a derivative security for purposes of such definitions as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination) or any other derivative or synthetic arrangement having
6

        
characteristics of a long position in, or a short position with respect to, any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”), directly or indirectly, owned beneficially by such Proposing Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) a description of any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Proposing Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any short interest in any security of the Corporation (for purposes of these Bylaws a person shall be deemed to have a “short interest” in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership, limited liability company or similar entity in which such Proposing Person is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, is a manager, is a managing member or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a manager or managing member of a limited liability company or similar entity and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such Proposing Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such Proposing Person’s immediate family sharing the same household, (iii) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents for, as applicable, the proposal or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (iv) a representation that the Proposing Person is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, will continue to be a holder of record of stock entitled to vote at such meeting through the date of the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring such nomination or other business before the meeting, (v) a description of any material interest in such business of the Proposing Person on whose behalf the proposal is made, (vi) a summary of any material discussion regarding the business proposed to be brought before the meeting between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and any other record or beneficial holder of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation (including their names), on the other hand, and (vii) a representation as to whether such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that intends to (x) deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or to elect each such nominee or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such
7

        
proposal or nomination. The information required under this Section 2.9(A)(2) shall be supplemented and updated by such Proposing Person as described under Section 2.9(C)(6);
(b)    if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of each Proposing Person in such business, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and (iii) a complete and accurate description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person, persons or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder;
(c)    set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person (presently and for the past five (5) years), (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such person, (iv) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), and (v) a notarized letter signed by such person stating his or her acceptance of the nomination by the Proposing Person, stating his or her intention to serve as a director for the full term if elected, and consenting to be named as a nominee for director in any proxy statement relating to such person’s election;
(d)    with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(A)(4) of these Bylaws; and
(e)    set forth, as the Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish, any such additional information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(3)    Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by the
8

        
Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by these Bylaws shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(4)    To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a proposed nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws and applicable law) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire the Proposing Person shall request in writing from the Secretary with at least seven (7) days’ prior notice); (ii) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote in such capacity on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable law and all applicable rules of the U.S. exchanges upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation is listed and all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and other guidelines of the Corporation, (D) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, intends to serve a full term if elected as a director of the Corporation and (E) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its stockholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) a written director agreement (which agreement shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request).
(5)    A nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall also provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may reasonably request. The Corporation may request such additional information necessary to permit the Board to determine the eligibility of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation, including information relevant to a determination of whether such person can
9

        
be considered an independent director and that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(6)    All written and signed representations and agreements, completed and signed questionnaires and director agreements required pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(4), and the additional information described in Section 2.9(A)(5), shall be considered timely for a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation under this Section 2.9 or Section 2.10 if provided to the Corporation by the deadlines specified in this Section 2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable. All information provided pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(4) or Section 2.9(A)(5) by a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall be deemed part of the stockholder’s notice submitted pursuant to this Section 2.9 or a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (as defined in Section 2.10), as applicable.
(7)    The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.9(A) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business or a nomination if such stockholder has notified the Corporation of his intention to present a proposal or make a nomination at an annual meeting in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal or nomination has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.
(8)    For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting of stockholders, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting is made, and (iii) any affiliate or associate (each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for purposes of these Bylaws) of such stockholder or beneficial owners.
(B)    Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to a notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (b) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law. In the event a special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any stockholder of record among such requesting stockholders may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws) shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on
10

        
the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(C)    General.
(1)    Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, Board or the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.
(2)    For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press, (ii) any other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or (iii) in a notice of meeting (or any supplement) pursuant to Section 2.6 of these Bylaws.
(3)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(2) or Section 2.9(B) of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”) if and to the extent provided for under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
(4)    The Corporation may require any proposed stockholder nominee for director to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 2.9 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be,
11

        
notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.9, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
(5)    A stockholder providing notice of a nomination or proposal of other business to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for the meeting and (ii) as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date) and not later than seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof)).
Section 2.10.    Proxy Access for Director Nominations.
(A)    Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Bylaws (including the provisions of Section 2.9 concerning stockholder nominations) and applicable law, in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy (hereinafter, the “proxy materials”), in addition to the persons selected and recommended for election by the Board or any committee thereof, the name, together with the Required Information (defined below), of any person nominated for election (the “Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee”) to the Board by one or more stockholders that satisfies the notice, ownership and other requirements of this Section 2.10 (such stockholder or group of stockholders who nominates a Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, the “Eligible Stockholder”). This Section 2.10 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for director in the Corporation’s proxy materials.
(B)    Required Information. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy materials is: (1) the information set forth in the Schedule 14N provided with the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (as defined in this Section 2.10) concerning each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee and Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and (2) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement of the Eligible Stockholder (or, in the case of a group, a written statement of the group), not to exceed 500 words, for each of its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee(s), which must be provided at the
12

        
same time as the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes (a) would violate any applicable law, regulation or listing standard, including the SEC proxy rules, (b) is untrue in any material respect (or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading), (c) directly or indirectly impugns the character, integrity or personal reputation of, or directly or indirectly makes charges concerning improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations, without factual foundation, with respect to any person or entity or (d) would impose a material risk of liability upon the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall limit the Corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee.
(C)    Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. To nominate a Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, in addition to the other requirements set forth in this Section 2.10, the Eligible Stockholder must provide a written notice to the Corporation that expressly elects to have its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 (the “Notice of Proxy Access Nomination”). To be timely, a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day and not later than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date (as stated in the Corporation’s proxy statement) the definitive proxy statement was first mailed to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed more than sixty (60) days after the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, then to be timely the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be received by the Corporation no earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation (the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered, the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”). In no event shall any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or any announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination under this Section 2.10. In addition to other requirements set forth in this Section 2.10, the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must include (i) the name and address of the Eligible Stockholder (including each stockholder and beneficial owner whose stock ownership is counted for purposes of qualifying as an Eligible Stockholder) and (ii) for each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, all written and signed representations and agreements and all completed and signed questionnaires required pursuant to Section 2.10.
(D)    Permitted Number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees.
(1)    The maximum number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees that may appear in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (a) two or (b) 20% of the number of directors in office as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number); provided, however, that for so long as the Board is divided into classes, in no
13

        
case shall the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees appearing in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any annual meeting of stockholders exceed one-half of the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Permitted Number”). In the event that there exists one or more vacancies, for any reason, on the Board at any time after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders and the Board reduces the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.
(2)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Permitted Number shall also be reduced by: (a) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees whom the Board itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting; (b) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees who cease to satisfy, or the applicable Eligible Stockholders that cease to satisfy, the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10; (c) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees whose nomination is withdrawn by the Eligible Stockholder or who become unwilling or unable to serve on the Board if elected; and (d) the number of incumbent directors as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date (i) who had been Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of stockholders and (ii) (x) if the Board is divided into classes, whose terms as a director extends past such upcoming annual meeting or (y) if the entire Board is elected annually, whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board.
(3)    An Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall rank such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee based on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials and include such assigned rank in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation. In the event that the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10 exceeds the Permitted Number, the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 shall be selected from each Eligible Stockholder for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as owned in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation and going in the order of the rank (highest to lowest) assigned to each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee by such Eligible Stockholder. If the Permitted Number is not reached after one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 has been selected from each Eligible Stockholder, this selection process shall continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached. Following such determination, if any Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 (a) thereafter withdraws from the election (or his or her nomination is withdrawn by the applicable Eligible Stockholder) or (b) is thereafter not submitted for director election for any reason (including the failure to comply with this
14

        
Section 2.10) other than due to a failure by the Corporation to include such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee in the proxy materials in violation of this Section 2.10, no other nominee or nominees shall be substituted for such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee and included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for director election pursuant to this Section 2.10.
(E)    Eligible Stockholder; Ownership.
(1)    To qualify as an Eligible Stockholder, such stockholder or group of stockholders, as applicable, must (a) own and have owned (as such terms are defined below) continuously for at least three years (two years in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) as of the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation, shares representing at least 3% of the voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation (the “Required Shares”) and (b) continue to own the Required Shares at all times between the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders. For purposes of satisfying the ownership requirements of this Section 2.10(E), a group of not more than twenty (20) stockholders and/or beneficial owners may aggregate the number of shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors that each group member has individually owned continuously for at least three years (two years in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) as of the date of the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination if all other requirements and obligations for an Eligible Stockholder set forth in this Section 2.10 are satisfied by and as to each stockholder or beneficial owner comprising the group whose shares are aggregated. Two or more funds that are (x) under common management and investment control, (y) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (z) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (such funds together under each of (x), (y) or (z) comprising a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one stockholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of stockholders in this Section 2.10(E), and treated as one person for the purpose of determining ownership in Section 2.10(E)(2), provided that each fund comprising a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 2.10. No stockholder or beneficial holder may be a member of more than one group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2.10, and no shares may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder or group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2.10. For the avoidance of doubt, the Required Shares will qualify as such if and only if the beneficial owner of such shares has itself beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year period ending on the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation (or the two-year period, in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) and through other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met). For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meanings ascribed thereto under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the denominator to be used in calculating whether an Eligible Stockholder meets the 3% threshold in this Section 2.10(E)(1), the Eligible Stockholder may rely on information about the outstanding shares of the Corporation, as set forth in the Corporation’s most
15

        
recent quarterly or annual report, and any current report subsequent thereto, filed with the SEC by the Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act, unless the Eligible Stockholder knows or has reason to know that the information contained therein is inaccurate.
(2)    For purposes of calculating the Required Shares, “ownership,” “own” and “owned” respectively, shall be deemed to consist of and include only the outstanding shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as to which a person possesses (a) the full power to vote or direct the voting of such shares, (b) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares and (c) the full power to dispose of or direct the disposition of such shares; provided that the ownership of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall not include any shares (i) sold by such person or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates but the purchase has not settled or closed, (ii) borrowed by such person or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or subject to any other obligation to resell to another person, or (iii) subject to any Derivative Instrument, in any such case which Derivative Instrument has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, the person’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting and full rights to dispose or direct the disposition of any such shares, or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or its affiliate. “Ownership” shall include shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person claiming ownership of such shares retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and the right to direct disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares, provided that this provision shall not alter the obligations of any stockholder to provide the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which shares have been loaned if the person claiming ownership has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five business days’ notice and the person recalls the loaned shares within five business days of being notified that its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for the applicable annual meeting, and the person holds the recalled shares through such annual meeting. Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which any voting power has been delegated by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time without condition. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the determination of the extent of “ownership” of shares shall be made in good faith by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the stockholders. An Eligible Stockholder shall include in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination the number of shares it is deemed to own for the purposes of this Section 2.10.
(F)    Eligible Stockholder Information.
(1)    The Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall set forth all information, representations and agreements required under Section 2.9 and Section 2.10 as if the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination was a stockholder nomination notice pursuant
16

        
to Section 2.9, including the information required with respect to (i) any nominee for election as a director, (ii) any stockholder giving notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election and (iii) any stockholder, beneficial owner or other person on whose behalf the nomination is made under this Section 2.10.

As part of the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination, each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee must: (1) provide to the Secretary all of the documentation, information, consents, representations, and agreements required pursuant to Section 2.9(A) and Section 2.10 as if the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee was a nominee thereunder; (2) submit to the Secretary all completed and signed questionnaires required of the Corporation’s directors and nominees for election to the Board within five business days of receipt of each such questionnaire from the Corporation; and (3) provide to the Secretary within five business days of the Corporation’s request such additional information as the Corporation determines may be necessary to permit the Board to determine (a) such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee’s status as to “independence”, including references to the criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange or quotation system on which the Corporation’s equity securities are listed), any applicable rules of the SEC and the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, (b) if such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee has any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation other than those relationships that have been deemed categorically immaterial pursuant to the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and (c) whether such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee is, or has been, subject to any event specified in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act or any successor provision.

(5)    the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee’s election as a member of the Board would cause the Corporation to be in violation of these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange or quotation system on which the Corporation’s equity securities are listed), or any applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation;
(6)    the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined for purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended;
(7)    the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee’s current or within the preceding ten years’ business or personal interests place such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee in a conflict of interest with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that would cause, or would reasonably be likely to cause, such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to violate any fiduciary duties of directors established pursuant to the DGCL, including but not limited to, the duty of loyalty and duty of care, as determined by the Board;

(12)    if the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee is determined by the Board not to satisfy the eligibility requirements provided in the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
For the purpose of this Section 2.10(J), (i) clauses (3) through (12) will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 of the specific Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to whom the ineligibility applies, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, the
21

        
ineligibility of the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee and (ii) clauses (1) and (2) will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 of all Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees from the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, the ineligibility of all Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees.
(K)    Miscellaneous. The Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall be deemed submitted on the date on which all of the information and documents referred to in this Section 2.10 (other than such information and documents contemplated to be provided after the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is provided) have been delivered to and received by the Secretary.

meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
Section 2.12.    Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, at any meeting at which directors are to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. If, in an election where the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected (an “Uncontested Election”), the directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. For purposes of this Section 2.12 in an Uncontested Election, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes “for” a director must exceed the number of “withhold” or “against” votes received by that director; abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “for”, “against” or “withhold”. If any director fails to achieve majority of the votes cast at an election of directors where directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Corporation shall consider such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such incumbent director’s resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall then consider each such tendered resignation and act on each, taking into account its fiduciary duties to the Corporation and the stockholders. Within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results, the Corporation shall publicly disclose the decision of the Board, and, if applicable, the Board’s reason for rejecting any such tendered resignation(s). An incumbent director who shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation for consideration shall not participate in the Corporation’s Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation or the Board’s decision, or any deliberations related thereto. If a director’s resignation pursuant to this Section 2.12 is accepted by the Board, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.9 or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to Section 3.2. The Board shall nominate for election or re-election as director only candidates who have tendered irrevocable conditional resignations (in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A) that will be effective upon (i) the failure of such director to receive more “for” votes than “withhold” or “against” votes at the next annual meeting at which they face re-election in an Uncontested Election; and (ii) Board acceptance of such resignation. In addition, the Board shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by the other directors. The election of directors by the stockholders shall be by written ballot if directed by the chairman of the meeting or if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors and certain non-binding advisory votes described below, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two possible vote choices, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the stockholders.
23

        
Section 2.13.    Treasury Stock. The Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it or any other corporation, if a majority of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such corporation is held, directly or indirectly by the Corporation, and such shares will not be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or such other corporation, to vote stock of the Corporation held in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 2.14.    Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the Board by resolution may, and when required by applicable law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders and the appointment of an inspector is required by applicable law, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by applicable law.

Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, which may be maintained by a third-party registrar or transfer agent, by the holder thereof in person or by his attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for at least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of uncertificated shares and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form, at which time the Corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto (if the stock is then represented by certificates), cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
Each certificated share of stock shall be signed, countersigned and registered in such manner as the Board may by resolution prescribe, which resolution may permit all or any of the signatures on such certificates to be in facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

(B)    The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.6 or otherwise.
(C)    The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Section 7.6 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, the
31

        
Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
(E)    The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 7.6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(F)    This Section 7.6 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.
(G)    Any Covered Person entitled to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, in each case pursuant to this Section 7.6, may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or insurance provided by one or more persons with whom or which such Covered Person may be associated. The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Section 7.6, (ii) the Corporation shall be primarily liable for all such obligations and any indemnification afforded to a Covered Person in respect of a proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Section 7.6, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract or otherwise, (iii) any obligation of any persons with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated to indemnify such Covered Person and/or advance expenses or liabilities to such Covered Person in respect of any proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations of the Corporation hereunder, (iv) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify each Covered Person and advance expenses to each Covered Person hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights such Covered Person may have against any other person with whom or which such Covered Person may be associated or insurer of any such person, and (v) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other person with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Corporation hereunder.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by applicable law, all notices required to be given to any stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent shall be in writing and may in every instance be effectively given by hand delivery to the recipient thereof, by depositing such notice in the mails, postage paid, or by sending such notice by commercial courier service, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission, provided that notice to stockholders by electronic transmission shall be given in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. Any such notice shall be addressed to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent at his last known address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively, notice to any stockholder shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder; and (5) if by mail, when deposited in

Section 7.11.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of these Bylaws will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of these Bylaws is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such provision or portion of any provision shall be severable and the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and these Bylaws will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

[Annex A]
Form of Irrevocable Conditional Resignation Letter
Cactus, Inc.
920 Memorial City Way, Suite 300
Houston, Texas 77024
Reference is hereby made to Section 2.12 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”) of Cactus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which, among other things, sets forth the Company’s director resignation policy (the “Director Resignation Policy”). Section 2.12 of the Bylaws provide in relevant part as follows:
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, at any meeting at which directors are to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. If, in an election where the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected (an “Uncontested Election”), the directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. For purposes of this Section 2.12 in an Uncontested Election, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes “for” a director must exceed the number of “withhold” or “against” votes received by that director; abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “for”, “against” or “withhold”. If any director fails to achieve majority of the votes cast at an election of directors where directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Corporation shall consider such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such incumbent director’s resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall then consider each such tendered resignation and act on each, taking into account its fiduciary duties to the Corporation and the stockholders. Within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results, the Corporation shall publicly disclose the decision of the Board, and, if applicable, the Board’s reason for rejecting any such tendered resignation(s). An incumbent director who shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation for consideration shall not participate in the Corporation’s Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation or the Board’s decision, or any deliberations related thereto. If a director’s resignation pursuant to this Section 2.12 is accepted by the Board, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.9 or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to Section 3.2. The Board shall nominate for election or re-election as director only candidates who have tendered irrevocable conditional resignations (in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A) that will be effective upon (i) the failure of such director to receive more “for” votes than “withhold” or “against” votes at the next annual meeting at which they face re-election in an Uncontested Election; and (ii) Board acceptance of such resignation. In addition, the Board shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their
35

        
appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by the other directors. The election of directors by the stockholders shall be by written ballot if directed by the chairman of the meeting or if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors and certain non-binding advisory votes described below, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two possible vote choices, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the stockholders.
In accordance with the Director Resignation Policy, I hereby resign from my position as a director of the Company, effective upon (i) my failure to receive more votes “for” my election than “withhold” or “against” votes at the next annual meeting at which I face re-election in an Uncontested Election; and (ii) Board acceptance of such resignation.
,
Very truly yours,
Name:

STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The Board may, at any time prior to the holding of an annual meeting of stockholders, and for any reason, postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.
Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”), special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Board may, at any time prior to the holding of a special meeting of stockholders, and for any reason, postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of the stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.
Section 2.3.    Record Date.
(A)In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or recess thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for
2






determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or recess of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned or recessed meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned or recessed meeting the same date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned or recessed meeting.
(B)In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 2.4.    Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
Section 2.5. Place of Meeting. The Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of the stockholders. If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and any other applicable law for the
3






participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.
Section 2.6. Notice of Meeting. Written or printed notice, stating the place, if any, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, in a manner pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify (i) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), (ii) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (iii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, (iv) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called and (v) such other information as may be required by applicable law or as may be deemed appropriate by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation. If the stockholder list referred to in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed. If the meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of meeting must provide the information required to access such stockholder list during the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. The Corporation may provide stockholders with notice of a meeting by electronic transmission provided such stockholders have consented to receiving electronic notice in accordance with the DGCL. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by applicable law. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Section 7.4 of these Bylaws.
Section 2.7.    Quorum and Adjournment of Meetings.
(A)Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. For the avoidance of doubt, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn or recess the meeting at any time and for any reason, whether or not there is such a quorum. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until the meeting
4






is adjourned or recessed, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
(B)Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn or recess from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned or recessed meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment or recess is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned or recessed meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2.8. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner prescribed by the DGCL) by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.
Section 2.9.    Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
(A)Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(1)Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof, (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law as to such business or nomination, or (d) with respect to nominations only, by any Eligible Stockholder (as defined in Section 2.10) (i) who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder notice described in Section 2.10 and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) who complies with the provisions of Section 2.10, (iii) who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iv) whose Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee (as defined in Section 2.10) is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for the meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clauses (c) and (d) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit any other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act
5






of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of the stockholders.
(2)For any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(1)(c) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the close of the Corporation’s initial public offering, shall be deemed to be April 10, 2018); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or any announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this Section 2.9(A)(2) or Section 2.9(B)) to the Secretary of the Corporation must:
(a)set forth, as to each Proposing Person (as defined below),

The information required under this Section 2.9(A)(2) shall be supplemented and updated by such Proposing Person as described under Section 2.9(C)(6);
(b)if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of each Proposing Person in such business, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and (iii) a complete and accurate description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person, persons or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder;

(3)Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by these Bylaws shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(4)To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a proposed nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws and applicable law) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire the Proposing Person shall request in writing from the Secretary with at least seven (7) days’ prior notice); (ii) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote in such capacity on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of

any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable law and all applicable rules of the U.S. exchanges upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation is listed and all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and other guidelines of the Corporation, (D) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, intends to serve a full term if elected as a director of the Corporation and (E) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its stockholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) a written director agreement (which agreement shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request).
(5)A nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall also provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may reasonably request. The Corporation may request such additional information necessary to permit the Board to determine the eligibility of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation, including information relevant to a determination of whether such person can be considered an independent director and that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(6)All written and signed representations and agreements, completed and signed questionnaires and director agreements required pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(4), and the additional information described in Section 2.9(A)(5), shall be considered timely for a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation under this Section 2.9 or Section 2.10 if provided to the Corporation by the deadlines specified in this Section 2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable. All information provided pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(4) or Section 2.9(A)(5) by a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall be deemed part of the stockholder’s notice submitted pursuant to this Section 2.9 or a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (as defined in Section 2.10), as applicable.
(7)The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.9(A) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business or a nomination if such stockholder has notified the Corporation of his intention to present a proposal or make a nomination at an annual meeting in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal or nomination has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.
(8)For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting of stockholders, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of nomination or any other
10

(B)Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to a notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (b) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law. In the event a special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any stockholder of record among such requesting stockholders may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws) shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(C)General.
(1)image_36.jpgOnly such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, Board or the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.
(2)For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press, (ii) any other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
11






Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or (iii) in a notice of meeting (or any supplement) pursuant to Section 2.6 of these Bylaws.
(3)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(2) or Section 2.9(B) of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”) if and to the extent provided for under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
(4)The Corporation may require any proposed stockholder nominee for director to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 2.9 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.9, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
(5)A stockholder providing notice of a nomination or proposal of other business to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be true and correct (i) as of the record date for the meeting and (ii) as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess, cancellation, rescheduling or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date) and not later than seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement
12






required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof)).
Section 2.10. Proxy Access for Director Nominations.
(A)Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Bylaws (including the provisions of Section 2.9 concerning stockholder nominations) and applicable law, in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy (hereinafter, the “proxy materials”), in addition to the persons selected and recommended for election by the Board or any committee thereof, the name, together with the Required Information (defined below), of any person nominated for election (the “Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee”) to the Board by one or more stockholders that satisfies the notice, ownership and other requirements of this Section 2.10 (such stockholder or group of stockholders who nominates a Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, the “Eligible Stockholder”). This Section 2.10 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for director in the Corporation’s proxy materials.
(B)Required Information. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy materials is: (1) the information set forth in the Schedule 14N provided with the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (as defined in this Section 2.10) concerning each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee and Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and (2) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement of the Eligible Stockholder (or, in the case of a group, a written statement of the group), not to exceed 500 words, for each of its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee(s), which must be provided at the same time as the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes (a) would violate any applicable law, regulation or listing standard, including the SEC proxy rules, (b) is untrue in any material respect (or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading), (c) directly or indirectly impugns the character, integrity or personal reputation of, or directly or indirectly makes charges concerning improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations, without factual foundation, with respect to any person or entity or (d) would impose a material risk of liability upon the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall limit the Corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee.
(C)Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. To nominate a Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, in addition to the other requirements set forth in this Section 2.10, the Eligible Stockholder must provide a written notice to the Corporation that expressly elects to have its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 (the “Notice of Proxy Access Nomination”). To be timely, a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day and not later than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date (as stated in
13






the Corporation’s proxy statement) the definitive proxy statement was first mailed to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed more than sixty (60) days after the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, then to be timely the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be received by the Corporation no earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation (the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered, the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”). In no event shall any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or any announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination under this Section 2.10. In addition to other requirements set forth in this Section 2.10, the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must include (i) the name and address of the Eligible Stockholder (including each stockholder and beneficial owner whose stock ownership is counted for purposes of qualifying as an Eligible Stockholder) and (ii) for each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, all written and signed representations and agreements and all completed and signed questionnaires required pursuant to Section 2.10.
(D)Permitted Number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees.
(1)The maximum number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees that may appear in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (a) two or (b) 20% of the number of directors in office as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number); provided, however, that for so long as the Board is divided into classes, in no case shall the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees appearing in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any annual meeting of stockholders exceed one-half of the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Permitted Number”). In the event that there exists one or more vacancies, for any reason, on the Board at any time after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders and the Board reduces the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.
(2)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Permitted Number shall also be reduced by: (a) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees whom the Board itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting; (b) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees who cease to satisfy, or the applicable Eligible Stockholders that cease to satisfy, the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10; (c) the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees whose nomination is withdrawn by the Eligible Stockholder or who become unwilling or unable to serve on the Board if elected; and (d) the number of incumbent directors as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date
(i) who had been Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of stockholders and (ii) (x) if the Board is divided into
14






classes, whose terms as a director extends past such upcoming annual meeting or (y) if the entire Board is elected annually, whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board.
(3)An Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall rank such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee based on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials and include such assigned rank in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation. In the event that the number of Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10 exceeds the Permitted Number, the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominees to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 shall be selected from each Eligible Stockholder for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as owned in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation and going in the order of the rank (highest to lowest) assigned to each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee by such Eligible Stockholder. If the Permitted Number is not reached after one Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 has been selected from each Eligible Stockholder, this selection process shall continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached. Following such determination, if any Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.10 (a) thereafter withdraws from the election (or his or her nomination is withdrawn by the applicable Eligible Stockholder) or (b) is thereafter not submitted for director election for any reason (including the failure to comply with this Section 2.10) other than due to a failure by the Corporation to include such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee in the proxy materials in violation of this Section 2.10, no other nominee or nominees shall be substituted for such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee and included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for director election pursuant to this Section 2.10.
(E)Eligible Stockholder; Ownership.
(1)To qualify as an Eligible Stockholder, such stockholder or group of stockholders, as applicable, must (a) own and have owned (as such terms are defined below) continuously for at least three years (two years in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) as of the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation, shares representing at least 3% of the voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation (the “Required Shares”) and (b) continue to own the Required Shares at all times between the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders. For purposes of satisfying the ownership requirements of this Section 2.10(E), a group of not more than twenty (20) stockholders and/or beneficial owners may aggregate the number of shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote
15






generally in the election of directors that each group member has individually owned continuously for at least three years (two years in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) as of the date of the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination if all other requirements and obligations for an Eligible Stockholder set forth in this Section 2.10 are satisfied by and as to each stockholder or beneficial owner comprising the group whose shares are aggregated. Two or more funds that are (x) under common management and investment control, (y) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (z) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (such funds together under each of (x), (y) or (z) comprising a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one stockholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of stockholders in this Section 2.10(E), and treated as one person for the purpose of determining ownership in Section 2.10(E)(2), provided that each fund comprising a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 2.10. No stockholder or beneficial holder may be a member of more than one group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2.10, and no shares may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder or group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2.10. For the avoidance of doubt, the Required Shares will qualify as such if and only if the beneficial owner of such shares has itself beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year period ending on the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation (or the two-year period, in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) and through other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met). For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meanings ascribed thereto under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the denominator to be used in calculating whether an Eligible Stockholder meets the 3% threshold in this Section 2.10(E)(1), the Eligible Stockholder may rely on information about the outstanding shares of the Corporation, as set forth in the Corporation’s most recent quarterly or annual report, and any current report subsequent thereto, filed with the SEC by the Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act, unless the Eligible Stockholder knows or has reason to know that the information contained therein is inaccurate.
(2)For purposes of calculating the Required Shares, “ownership,” “own” and “owned” respectively, shall be deemed to consist of and include only the outstanding shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as to which a person possesses (a) the full power to vote or direct the voting of such shares, (b) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares and (c) the full power to dispose of or direct the disposition of such shares; provided that the ownership of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall not include any shares (i) sold by such person or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates but the purchase has not settled or closed, (ii) borrowed by such person or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or subject to any other obligation to resell to another person, or (iii) subject to any Derivative Instrument, in any such case which Derivative Instrument has, or is intended to have, or if exercised
16






would have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, the person’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting and full rights to dispose or direct the disposition of any such shares, or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or its affiliate. “Ownership” shall include shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person claiming ownership of such shares retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and the right to direct disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares, provided that this provision shall not alter the obligations of any stockholder to provide the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which shares have been loaned if the person claiming ownership has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five business days’ notice and the person recalls the loaned shares within five business days of being notified that its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for the applicable annual meeting, and the person holds the recalled shares through such annual meeting. Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which any voting power has been delegated by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time without condition.    For purposes of this Section 2.10, the determination of the extent of “ownership” of shares shall be made in good faith by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the stockholders. An Eligible Stockholder shall include in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination the number of shares it is deemed to own for the purposes of this Section 2.10.
(F)Eligible Stockholder Information.
(1)The Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall set forth all information, representations and agreements required under Section 2.9 and Section 2.10 as if the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination was a stockholder nomination notice pursuant to Section 2.9, including the information required with respect to (i) any nominee for election as a director, (ii) any stockholder giving notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election and (iii) any stockholder, beneficial owner or other person on whose behalf the nomination is made under this Section 2.10. In addition, an Eligible Stockholder (including each stockholder, fund comprising a Qualifying Fund and beneficial owner whose stock ownership is counted for the purpose of qualifying as an Eligible Stockholder) must provide the following information and documents in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination:
(a)(i) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year holding period (or two-year holding period in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021)) certifying that, as of the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is sent to the Corporation, the Eligible Stockholder owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years (or two years in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only), the Required Shares, and if applicable, evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for the
17






three-year period (or two-year period in the case of the annual meeting to be held in 2021 only) from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the Board determines acceptable and (ii) the Eligible Stockholder’s agreement to provide (x) within five business days after the record date for the applicable annual meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Stockholder’s continuous ownership of the Required Shares through the record date, and (y) immediate notice if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to own any of the Required Shares prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders;
(b)the written consent of each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to being named in the Corporation’s proxy materials as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected for the full term he or she is elected for;

(vii) intends to be present at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders in person or by proxy to present its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee for election and (viii) will comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to any solicitation in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders applicable to the filing and use, if any, of soliciting material;

(f)an undertaking that the Eligible Stockholder agrees to (i) expressly assume all liability to which the Corporation or any of its affiliates, or any director, officer, employee or representative thereof, may be subject as a result of any legal or regulatory violation arising out of any such information or communication made available by or on behalf of the Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates or its Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation in connection with the election of directors at the relevant annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its directors, officers, employees and representatives individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers, employees or representatives arising out of any nomination, solicitation or other activity by the Eligible Stockholder in connection with its efforts to elect the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 2.10, and (iii) file with the SEC any solicitation or other communication with the Corporation’s stockholders relating to the meeting at which the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee will be nominated, regardless of whether any such filing is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act or whether any exemption from filing is available for such solicitation or other communication under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.

As part of the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination, each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee must: (1) provide to the Secretary all of the documentation, information, consents, representations, and agreements required pursuant to Section 2.9(A) and Section 2.10 as if the Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee was a nominee thereunder; (2) submit to the Secretary all completed and signed
19






questionnaires required of the Corporation’s directors and nominees for election to the Board within five business days of receipt of each such questionnaire from the Corporation; and (3) provide to the Secretary within five business days of the Corporation’s request such additional information as the Corporation determines may be necessary to permit the Board to determine (a) such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee’s status as to “independence”, including references to the criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange or quotation system on which the Corporation’s equity securities are listed), any applicable rules of the SEC and the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, (b) if such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee has any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation other than those relationships that have been deemed categorically immaterial pursuant to the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and (c) whether such Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee is, or has been, subject to any event specified in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act or any successor provision. Each Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee shall tender an irrevocable resignation, such resignation to become effective upon a determination by the Board or any committee thereof that (i) the information provided to the Corporation by such individual pursuant to this Section 2.10(G) was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made not misleading or (ii) such individual, or any stockholder or group of stockholders who nominated such individual, shall have breached any obligations owed to the corporation under these Bylaws.

Any information required by this Section 2.10 to be provided to the Corporation must be updated and supplemented by the Eligible Stockholder or Proxy Access Stockholder Nominee, as applicable, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be true and correct (1) as of the record date for the annual meeting and (2) as of the date that is ten business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, and each such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the annual meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date) and not later than seven business days prior to the date for the annual meeting, if practicable or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof).

If, in an election where the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected (an “Uncontested Election”), the number of shares voted “for” an incumbent director nominee does notdirectors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. For purposes of this Section 2.12 in an Uncontested Election, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes “for” a director must exceed the number of “withhold” or “against” votes received by such incumbent director nominee, such incumbentthat director; abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “for”, “against” or “withhold”. If any director fails to achieve majority of the votes cast at an election of directors where directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Corporation shall consider such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such incumbent director’s resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall then consider each such tendered resignation and act on each, taking into account its fiduciary duties to the Corporation and the stockholders.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board or committee thereof need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 7.5. Resignations. Any director or any officer, whether elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice, including by electronic transmission, of such resignation to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, and such resignation shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date said notice is received by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, or at such later time as is specified therein. No formal action shall be required of the Board or the stockholders to make any such resignation effective.
Section 7.6.    Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
(A)The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (a “Covered Person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person in connection with such proceeding.
(B)The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately
32






determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.6 or otherwise.
(C)The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Section 7.6 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
(D)If a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.6 (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after the Corporation has received a claim therefor by the Covered Person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Section 7.6 is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
(E)The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 7.6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(F)This Section 7.6 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.
(G)Any Covered Person entitled to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, in each case pursuant to this Section 7.6, may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or insurance provided by one or more persons with whom or which such Covered Person may be associated. The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Section 7.6, (ii) the Corporation shall be primarily liable for all such obligations and any indemnification afforded to a Covered Person in respect of a proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Section 7.6, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract or otherwise, (iii) any obligation of any persons with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated to indemnify such Covered Person and/or advance expenses or liabilities to such Covered Person in respect of any proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations of the Corporation hereunder, (iv) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify each Covered Person and advance expenses to each Covered Person hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights such Covered Person may have against any other person with whom or which such Covered Person
33






may be associated or insurer of any such person, and (v) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other person with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Corporation hereunder.
Section 7.7. Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by applicable law, all notices required to be given to any stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent shall be in writing and may in every instance be effectively given by hand delivery to the recipient thereof, by depositing such notice in the mails, postage paid, or by sending such notice by commercial courier service, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission, provided that notice to stockholders by electronic transmission shall be given in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. Any such notice shall be addressed to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent at his last known address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively, notice to any stockholder shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder; and (5) if by mail, when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
Section 7.8. Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. In addition to the provisions for use of facsimile or electronic signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these Bylaws, facsimile or electronic signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board or a committee thereof.
Section 7.9. Time Periods. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in these Bylaws, in applying any provision of these Bylaws that require that an act be done or not done a specified number of days prior to an event or that an act be done during a period of a specified number of days prior to an event, calendar days shall be used, the day of the doing of the act shall be excluded, and the day of the event shall be included.
Section 7.10. Reliance Upon Books, Reports and Records. Each director, each member of any committee designated by the Board, and each officer of the Corporation shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Corporation and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or committees designated by the Board, or by any other person as to the matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.
Section 7.11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of these Bylaws will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of these Bylaws is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
34






jurisdiction, such provision or portion of any provision shall be severable and the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and these Bylaws will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

ARTICLE IX
EXCLUSIVE FORUM
Section 9.1. Forum.

[Annex A]
Form of Irrevocable Conditional Resignation Letter
Cactus, Inc.
920 Memorial City Way, Suite 300
Houston, Texas 77024
Reference is hereby made to Section 2.12 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”) of Cactus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which, among other things, sets forth the Company’s director resignation policy (the “Director Resignation Policy”). Section 2.12 of the Bylaws provide in relevant part as follows:
image_36.jpgSubject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, at any meeting at which directors are to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. If, in an election where the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected (an “Uncontested Election”), the number of shares voted “for” an incumbent director nominee does notdirectors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. For purposes of this Section 2.12 in an Uncontested Election, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes “for” a director must exceed the number of “withhold” or “against” votes received by such incumbent director nominee, such incumbentthat director; abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “for”, “against” or “withhold”. If any director fails to achieve majority of the votes cast at an election of directors where directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Corporation shall consider such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such incumbent director’s resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall then consider each such tendered resignation and act on each, taking into account its fiduciary duties to the Corporation and the stockholders. Within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results, the Corporation shall publicly disclose the decision of the Board, and, if applicable, the Board’s reason for rejecting any such tendered resignation(s). An incumbent director who shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation for consideration shall not participate in the Corporation’s Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation or the Board’s decision, or any deliberations related thereto. If a director’s resignation pursuant to this Section 2.12 is accepted by the Board, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.9 or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to Section 3.2. The Board shall nominate for election or re-election as director only candidates who have tendered irrevocable conditional resignations (in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A) that will be effective upon (i) the failure of such director to receive more “for” votes than “withhold” or “against” votes at the next annual meeting at
37






which they face re-election in an Uncontested Election; and (ii) Board acceptance of such resignation. In addition, the Board shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by the other directors. The election of directors by the stockholders shall be by written ballot if directed by the chairman of the meeting or if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors and certain non-binding advisory votes described below, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two possible vote choices, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the stockholders.
In accordance with the Director Resignation Policy, I hereby resign from my position as a director of the Company, effective upon (i) my failure to receive more votes “for” my election than “withhold” or “against” votes at the next annual meeting at which I face re-election in an Uncontested Election; and (ii) Board acceptance of such resignation.
Very truly yours,

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements and Other Items Preparation of Interim Financial Statements and Other Items
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Cactus Companies, LLC (“Cactus Companies”). Cactus Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus Companies (“CC Units”). Cactus Inc. is the sole managing member of Cactus Companies and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cactus Companies and conducts its business through Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries. As a result, Cactus Inc. consolidates the financial results of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of CC Units not owned by Cactus Inc., which reduces net income attributable to holders of Cactus Inc.’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”). Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references to “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On February 28, 2023, Cactus Inc. through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the FlexSteel business through a merger (the “Merger”) with HighRidge Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HighRidge”). On February 27, 2023, in order to facilitate the Merger with HighRidge, an internal reorganization was completed in which Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing ownership interests in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the operating subsidiary of Cactus Inc. (the “CC Reorganization”). The purpose of the Merger was to effect the acquisition of the operations of FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HighRidge prior to the Merger and was converted into a limited liability company, contributed from HighRidge to Cactus Companies as part of the CC Reorganization and is now named FlexSteel Holdings, LLC (“FlexSteel”). The results of operations of FlexSteel have been reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 2 for additional information related to the acquisition.
Following the acquisition of FlexSteel, we now operate in two business segments: Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from available data, or is not otherwise capable of being readily calculated based on accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” The amendments in this ASU require entities to disclose on an annual basis specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet a specified
quantitative threshold. Entities will also be required to disclose annually income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid by individual jurisdictions that meet a five percent or greater threshold of total income taxes paid net of refunds received. The ASU also adds certain disclosures in order to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and removes certain disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and will be effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” in order to require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our segment disclosures.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]  
FlexSteel Acquisition FlexSteel Acquisition
On February 28, 2023 we completed the acquisition of FlexSteel. Including final adjustments for closing working capital, cash on hand and indebtedness adjustments as set forth in the merger agreement, we paid total cash consideration of $621.5 million with a potential future earn-out payment of up to $75.0 million, if certain revenue targets were met by FlexSteel through the period ending June 30, 2024.
Purchase Price Consideration
The final purchase price consideration for the acquisition was $627.5 million and is summarized as follows:
Purchase Price Consideration
Cash consideration$621,505 
Add: Contingent consideration (1)
5,960 
Fair value of consideration transferred$627,465 
(1) Represents the estimated fair value as of the acquisition date of the earn-out payment of up to $75.0 million of additional cash consideration if certain revenue targets were met by FlexSteel. The estimated fair value of the earn-out payment was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology based on probability-weighted performance projections and other inputs, including a discount rate.
Changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability subsequent to the acquisition date have been recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The contingent consideration earn-out period ended on June 30, 2024 and resulted in a final earn-out liability of $37.0 million, which is expected to be paid in August 2024.
Purchase Price Allocation
The following table provides the final allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date:
Cash and cash equivalents$5,316 
Receivables58,002 
Inventories91,746 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets1,283 
Property and equipment206,928 
Operating lease right-of-use assets1,021 
Identifiable intangible assets200,300 
Other noncurrent assets5,666 
Total assets acquired570,262 
Accounts payable(14,975)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities(26,827)
Finance lease obligations(974)
Operating lease liabilities(906)
Deferred tax liabilities(94,319)
Total liabilities assumed(138,001)
Net assets acquired432,261 
Goodwill$195,204 

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Cactus being treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by management, based in part on independent valuations performed by third-party valuation specialists. The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships and backlog using customer inputs and contributory charges and the relief from royalty method for tradename and developed technology.

The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accounts payable and most other current assets and liabilities, other than inventory, were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. Acquired inventories were comprised of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, less costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The fair value of identifiable fixed assets was calculated using a combination of valuation approaches, but primarily consisted of the cost approach which adjusts estimates of replacement cost for the age, condition and utility of the associated assets.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired.

Receivables [Abstract]  
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Our customers are predominantly oil and gas exploration and production companies located in the U.S. Our receivables are short-term in nature and typically due in 30 to 60 days. We do not accrue interest on delinquent receivables. Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers and unbilled amounts resulting from accrued revenue associated with products delivered and services performed for which billings have not yet been submitted to the customers. Total unbilled revenue included in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $35.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively.
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the amount of billed receivables we believe to be at risk of loss. In our determination of the allowance for credit losses, we pool receivables with similar risk characteristics based on customer size, credit ratings, payment history, bankruptcy status and other factors known to us and apply an expected credit loss percentage. The expected credit loss percentage is determined using historical loss data adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for credit losses. The following is a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses.

Inventories Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates average cost. Costs include an application of related material, direct labor, duties, tariffs, freight and overhead costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Reserves are made for excess and obsolete items based on a range of factors, including age, usage and technological or market changes that may impact demand for those products.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Debt Debt
We had no bank debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We had $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding and were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined below) as of June 30, 2024.
In August 2018, Cactus LLC entered into a five-year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for such lenders and as an issuing bank and swingline lender (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility was amended in September 2020 and July 2022. On February 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, Cactus Companies assumed the rights and obligations of Cactus LLC as Borrower under the ABL Credit Facility, and the ABL Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety (the “Amended ABL Credit Facility”). The Amended ABL Credit Facility provided a term loan of $125.0 million and up to $225.0 million in revolving commitments, of which $20.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Amended ABL Credit Facility, Cactus Companies may request additional revolving commitments in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, for a total of up to $275.0 million in revolving commitments. The term loan under the Amended ABL Credit Facility was set to mature on February 27, 2026 and any revolving loans under the Amended ABL Credit Facility mature on July 26, 2027. The maximum amount that Cactus Companies may borrow under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
We borrowed the full $125.0 million term loan amount and $30.0 million as a revolving loan at closing of the Amended ABL Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Merger. The term loan was required to be repaid in regular set amounts starting July 1, 2023 as set forth in the amortization schedule in the Amended ABL Credit Facility and could be prepaid without the payment of any prepayment premium (other than customary breakage costs for Term Benchmark (as defined below) borrowings). The term loan and revolving loan were repaid in full in July 2023.
Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility bear interest at Cactus Companies’ option at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined therein) (“ABR”), or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined therein) (“Term Benchmark”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Letters of credit issued under the Amended ABL Credit Facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin is 2.50% per annum for term loan ABR borrowings and 3.50% per annum for term loan Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings ranges from 0.0% to 0.5% per annum for revolving loan ABR borrowings and 1.25% to 1.75% per annum for revolving loan Term Benchmark borrowings and, in each case, is based on the average quarterly availability of the revolving loan commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The unused portion of revolving commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit Cactus Companies’ and each of its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and create liens, make investments or loans, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell assets, make certain restricted payments and distributions, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Cactus Companies and secured by a security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and certain other real and personal property assets of Cactus Companies and the guarantors. Until the term loan was paid in full, the Amended ABL Credit Facility required Cactus Companies to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 based on the ratio of Total Indebtedness (as defined therein) to EBITDA (as defined therein). The Amended ABL Credit Facility requires Cactus Companies to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein) minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures (as defined therein) to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is under certain levels. If Cactus Companies fails to perform its obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility, (i) the revolving commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Facility could be terminated, (ii) any outstanding borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable, and (iii) the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility was amended in December 2023 to incorporate certain changes related to revised and new definitions associated with the satisfaction of payment conditions for restricted payments, investments, permitted acquisitions, periodic reporting and asset dispositions. The amendment did not change the ABR, applicable margin rates, commitment fees, the maturity date, borrowing availability or covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility other than timing of certain reporting requirements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenue
The majority of our revenues are derived from short-term contracts for fixed consideration, or in the case of rentals, for a fixed charge per day, plus repairs while the equipment is in use by the customer. Product sales generally do not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or providing services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to provide agreed upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We do not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We do not incur any material costs of obtaining contracts.
We do not adjust the amount of consideration per the contract for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, which is in substantially all cases. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of invoicing. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We treat shipping and handling associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for the associated shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.
We disaggregate revenue into three categories: product revenues, rental revenues and field service and other revenues. We have predominately domestic operations with a small amount of sales in Australia, Canada, the Middle East and other international markets. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by category:

At June 30, 2024, we had a deferred revenue balance of $8.6 million compared to the December 31, 2023 balance of $8.1 million. Deferred revenue represents our obligation to transfer products to or perform services for a customer for which we have received cash or billed in advance of delivering products or services. The revenue that has been deferred will be recognized upon product delivery or as services are performed. As of June 30, 2024, we did not have any contracts with an original length of greater than a year from which revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.

Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA")

Tax Receivable Agreement  
Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA)
In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2018, we entered into the TRA which generally provides for payment by Cactus Inc. to certain direct and indirect owners of Cactus LLC (after the CC Reorganization, Cactus Companies) of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Cactus Inc. actually realizes or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. Cactus Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.
The TRA liability is calculated by determining the tax basis subject to the TRA (“tax basis”) and applying a blended tax rate to the basis differences and calculating the resulting iterative impact. The blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the TRA liability are recognized in the statements of income as a component of other expense, net. As of June 30, 2024, the total liability from the TRA was $265.1 million with $5.6 million reflected in current liabilities based on the expected timing of our next payment. The current liability of $5.6 million is reflective of a $15.3 million payment during the second quarter of 2024. The payments under the TRA will not be conditional on a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either Cactus Companies or Cactus Inc.
The term of the TRA commenced upon completion of our IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA. If we elect to terminate the TRA early (or it is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), our obligations under the TRA would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the TRA, and such payment is expected to be substantial. The calculation of anticipated future payments is based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumptions that (i) we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the TRA and (ii) any CC Units (other than those held by Cactus Inc.) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.
We may elect to defer payments due under the TRA if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the TRA. Any such deferred payments under the TRA generally will accrue interest from the due date for such payment until the payment date.
In March of 2024, the TRA was amended to replace all references to one year LIBOR with references to the 12-month term SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited, plus 71.513 basis points. Additionally, all references to Cactus LLC were replaced with references to Cactus Companies in relation to the CC Reorganization.

Equity [Abstract]  
Equity Equity
As of June 30, 2024, Cactus Inc. owned 83.6% of Cactus Companies as compared to 82.3% of Cactus Companies as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, Cactus Inc. had outstanding 66.5 million shares of Class A common stock (representing 83.6% of the total voting power) and 13.1 million shares of Class B common stock (representing 16.4% of the total voting power).
Equity Offering
In January 2023, Cactus Inc. completed an underwritten offering of 3,224,300 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the underwriters of $51.36 per share for net proceeds of $165.6 million (net of $6.9 million of underwriting discounts and commissions). In addition to the underwriting discounts and commissions, approximately $2.2 million of costs directly associated with the stock issuance were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
FlexSteel Acquisition
In conjunction with the FlexSteel acquisition, a restricted stock award of 128,150 shares of Class A common stock was issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plan to a key employee in exchange for cash consideration of $6.5 million. The shares were restricted from sale or trading and were subject to vesting requirements for one year from grant date.
CC Reorganization
As part of the CC Reorganization in connection with the acquisition of FlexSteel, Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing limited liability company interests of Cactus LLC (“CW Units”) in exchange for an equal number of CC Units issued to each of the previous owners of CW Units other than Cactus Inc. (the “CW Unit Holders”). Upon the completion of the CC Reorganization, CW Unit Holders ceased to be holders of CW Units and, instead, became holders of a number of CC Units equal to the number of CW Units such CW Unit Holders held immediately prior to the completion of the CC Reorganization. After the CC Reorganization, we refer to the owners of CC Units, other than Cactus Inc. (along with their permitted transferees), as “CC Unit Holders.” Following the completion of the CC Reorganization, CC Unit Holders own one share of our Class B Common Stock for each CC Unit such CC Unit Holder owns.
In connection with the CC Reorganization, Cactus Inc. and the owners of CC Units entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus Companies (the “Cactus Companies LLC Agreement”), which contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus LLC (the “Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement”), which was the limited liability company operating agreement of Cactus LLC prior to the CC Reorganization. Cactus Inc. was responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Cactus LLC’s business for the period from completion of our IPO until the CC Reorganization and relating to Cactus Companies’ business for periods after the CC Reorganization.
Redemptions of CC Units
Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, holders of CC Units are entitled to redeem their CC Units, which results in additional Class A common stock outstanding. Since our IPO in February 2018, an aggregate of 47.5 million CC Units (including CW Units prior to the CC Reorganization) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 1.0 million and 0.2 million CC Units, respectively, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, were redeemed in exchange for Class A common stock in accordance with the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.
Dividends
Aggregate cash dividends of $0.24 and $0.22 per share of Class A common stock were declared during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaling $16.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively. Cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $16.1 million and $14.5 million, respectively. Dividends accrue on unvested equity-based awards on the date of record and are paid upon vesting. Dividends are not paid to our Class B common stockholders; however, a corresponding distribution up to the same amount per share as our Class A common stockholders is paid to the owners of CC Units other than Cactus Inc. for any dividends declared on our Class A common stock. See further discussion of the distributions below under “Member Distributions.”
Share Repurchase Program
On June 6, 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased and retired 86,599 shares of Class A common stock for $3.4 million, or $38.92 average price per share excluding commissions, under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.
Member Distributions
Distributions made by Cactus Companies are generally required to be made pro rata among all its members. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Cactus Companies distributed $42.5 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend, TRA and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $8.6 million over the same period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cactus Companies distributed $20.4 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $4.7 million.
Limitation of Members’ Liability
Under the terms of the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, the members of Cactus Companies are not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Cactus Companies. Profits and losses are allocated to members as defined in the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs), observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these accounts.
At December 31, 2023, the earn-out liability was measured at a fair value of $20.8 million using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The fair value at December 31, 2023 was determined based on the evaluation of the probability and amount of earn-out that may be achieved based on expected future performance of FlexSteel using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model used assumptions including revenue volatilities, risk free rates, credit discount rates and revenue discount rates. The following table sets forth the range of inputs for the significant assumptions utilized to determine the fair value as of December 31, 2023:
December 31, 2023
Risk-free interest rate5.40%to5.63%
Expected revenue volatility21.70%
Revenue discount rate10.02%to10.23%

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during the period by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during that period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.
We use the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding CC Units and corresponding shares of outstanding Class B common stock. We use the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock-based compensation awards assuming that the proceeds will be used to purchase shares of Class A common stock. For our unvested performance stock units, we first apply the criteria for contingently issuable shares before determining the potential dilutive effect using the treasury stock method.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Cactus Companies, LLC (“Cactus Companies”). Cactus Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus Companies (“CC Units”). Cactus Inc. is the sole managing member of Cactus Companies and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cactus Companies and conducts its business through Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries. As a result, Cactus Inc. consolidates the financial results of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of CC Units not owned by Cactus Inc., which reduces net income attributable to holders of Cactus Inc.’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”). Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references to “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On February 28, 2023, Cactus Inc. through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the FlexSteel business through a merger (the “Merger”) with HighRidge Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HighRidge”). On February 27, 2023, in order to facilitate the Merger with HighRidge, an internal reorganization was completed in which Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing ownership interests in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the operating subsidiary of Cactus Inc. (the “CC Reorganization”). The purpose of the Merger was to effect the acquisition of the operations of FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HighRidge prior to the Merger and was converted into a limited liability company, contributed from HighRidge to Cactus Companies as part of the CC Reorganization and is now named FlexSteel Holdings, LLC (“FlexSteel”). The results of operations of FlexSteel have been reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 2 for additional information related to the acquisition.
Following the acquisition of FlexSteel, we now operate in two business segments: Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from available data, or is not otherwise capable of being readily calculated based on accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” The amendments in this ASU require entities to disclose on an annual basis specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet a specified
quantitative threshold. Entities will also be required to disclose annually income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid by individual jurisdictions that meet a five percent or greater threshold of total income taxes paid net of refunds received. The ASU also adds certain disclosures in order to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and removes certain disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and will be effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” in order to require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our segment disclosures.
