with QES, involve risks and uncertainties. KLXE’s and QES’s experience and results may differ materially from the experience
and results anticipated in such statements. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and
assumptions including, but not limited to, the following factors: (1) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the transaction

the current plans and operations of KLXE or QES; (5) the ability of KLXE and QES to retain and hire key personnel; (6) competitive
responses to the proposed transaction; (7) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; (8) potential

associated with integrating the combined companies’ existing businesses; and (10) legislative, regulatory and economic
developments. Other factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in KLXE’s and QES’s filings
with the SEC, which include their Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on
Form 8-K and in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed in connection
with the proposed transactions. For more information, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the forward looking
statements disclosure contained in KLXE’s and QES’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
