Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 22, 2021, ProPetro Holding Corp. (the "Company") announced that it has entered into a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), resolving the previously disclosed SEC investigation relating to the Company. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company, without admitting or denying the findings in the administrative order issued by the SEC, has agreed to cease and desist from violations of specified provisions of the federal securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder. The Company was not required to pay any monetary penalty and has no ongoing undertakings in connection with the settlement.

The Company fully cooperated with the SEC over the course of its investigation. The SEC's administrative order recognizes not only the significant value of the Company's cooperation but also the considerable remedial actions taken by the Company to strengthen its internal policies, governance and internal control over financial reporting and to embed those improvements into the Company's culture. A copy of the press release announcing the settlement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
