NUVERRA ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES INTENT TO VOLUNTARILY DELIST FROM THE NYSE AMERICAN PENDING MERGER WITH SELECT ENERGY SERVICES

HOUSTON, TX - February 11, 2022 - Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. ("Nuverra") (NYSE American: NES) today announced that it has submitted written notice to the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock, $0.01 par value, from the NYSE American pending the successful closing of the acquisition by Select Energy Services, Inc. ("Select") (NYSE: WTTR) of Nuverra by way of merger (the "Closing").

As previously announced, Nuverra entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Nuverra, Select and certain subsidiaries of Select, providing for (i) the merger of a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Select with and into Nuverra, with Nuverra surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Select (the "Initial Merger" and the surviving entity, the "Surviving Corporation"), and (ii) immediately following the Initial Merger, the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Select ("Holdco"), with Holdco surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Select (the "Subsequent Merger" and, together with the Initial Merger, the "Mergers").

Upon the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all Closing conditions, Nuverra intends to have the NYSE American file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about February 23, 2022 to delist its common stock. Also in connection with the Closing, Nuverra intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about March 7, 2022, or at least ten days after the filing of Form 25, in order to terminate the registration of Nuverra's common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and to notify the SEC of the automatic suspension of its public reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Mergers: (i) each share of Nuverra's common stock then issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class A common stock of Select, par value $0.01 per share ("Select Class A Common Stock"), equal to 0.2551 per share (the "Exchange Ratio") and (ii) the holders of the 118,137 warrants exercisable for shares of Nuverra common stock ("Nuverra Warrants") shall, upon the exercise of such Nuverra Warrants and payment of the exercise price therefor, have the right to acquire and receive the number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock that would have been issued by means of a cash exercise immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger (the "Effective Time"), and receive a number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. Certain other equity awards covering Nuverra's common stock will be canceled and/or converted into: (x) the right to receive a number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Nuverra common stock subject to each such award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio; or (y) comparable awards covering Select Class A Common Stock, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Mergers, a trading market for Nuverra's common stock will no longer exist. In addition, upon the delisting, Nuverra will qualify to terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and exit the SEC periodic reporting system. The common stock will not be listed or registered on another national securities exchange or for quotation in a quotation medium. As of the date of the filing of the Form 15, Nuverra's obligation to file certain reports under the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be immediately suspended, and other filing requirements will terminate upon the effectiveness of the deregistration, which should occur 90 days after the filing of the Form 15.
