Item 14. Indemnification of directors and officers.

Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors or officers of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except where the director or officer breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director or officer of Flowco Holdings Inc. shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors or officers for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

II-3


Upon consummation of the Transactions, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.

Prior to the consummation of this offering, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements will provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws.

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of Class A common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.

Item 15. Recent sales of unregistered securities.

On July 25, 2024, Flowco Holdings Inc. agreed to issue 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which will be redeemed upon the consummation of the Transactions, to Flowco LLC in exchange for $10.00. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c) The undersigned hereby further undertakes that:

 

  1)  

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus as filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and

 

II-6


 

contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  2)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Subject to this Section 1(b), (i) for so long as the GEC Parties and their Affiliates (the “GEC Affiliates”) beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate at least twenty percent (20%) of the Deemed Outstanding Class A Shares, GEC shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent GEC Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being two (2) GEC Directors on the Board and (ii) if at any time, the GEC Affiliates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate less than twenty percent (20%) but at least ten percent (10%) of the Deemed Outstanding Class A Shares, GEC shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which, assuming all such individuals

 

2


are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent GEC Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being one (1) GEC Director on the Board. The GEC Directors shall be apportioned in Class II and Class III of the three (3) classes of Directors, or if the number of GEC Directors is decreased to one (1) GEC Director, to the applicable class of the remaining GEC Director after giving effect to the resignation of removal of the other GEC Director in accordance with Section 2.

5.7 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its affiliates or against any party or any of its affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 5.3 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

5.10 Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

5.13 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties intend that for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes: (i) the distributions by each Holdings Entity pursuant to the IPO Liquidating Distributions will each qualify as a distribution under Section 731(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) the IPO Unit Redemption and Pubco’s contribution of the IPO proceeds, to the extent used to fund the IPO Unit Redemption, to the Company, taken together, will be treated as the purchase of such Original Units subject to the IPO Unit Redemption; (iii) the exchanges described in Section 2.1(b)(iv) shall be treated as a transaction described in Section 721 of the Code in a manner consistent with IRS Rev. Rul. 84-52, 1984-1 CB 157 and IRS Rev. Rul. 86-101, 1986-2 CB 94; and (iv) each of the Blocker Mergers, taken together with the relevant Blocker Entity merging upstream into Pubco (or into a disregarded entity of Pubco) in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(vi), the Blocker Merger Agreement and the Pubco Merger Agreement, will constitute an integrated plan that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, and the documents effectuating the Blocker Mergers and each Blocker Entity merger into Pubco, and this Agreement, shall constitute a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each Party will report and file all applicable U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any corresponding or similar provision of Law.

(b) Each Party will use its respective reasonable best efforts to cause the actions described in Section 2.1(b)(ii)-(vi) (the “Reorganization Transactions”) to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and no Party shall (or shall permit any of its affiliates to) take or cause to be taken any action that is not specifically contemplated by this Agreement (or any agreement contemplated hereby) which action, to its knowledge, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Reorganization Transactions from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that no other Party is making any representation or warranty as to the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign or other tax consequences to any Party hereto as a result of the Reorganization Transactions. Each of the Parties has reviewed with its own tax advisor the U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization Transactions. Each Party understands that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it will be responsible for its own tax liability, if any, that may arise as a result of the Reorganization Transactions.

4.4 Tax Matters.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (a) the amount of any Taxes, other than Taxes described in clause (b), attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, and (b) the amount of any property, ad valorem or similar Taxes imposed on a period basis attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period. For the purposes of determining Taxes that are attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, if any Blocker Entity is a partner in a partnership (including OpCo) such Blocker Entity shall be treated, solely for purposes of determining the year to which the partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit are allocated, as selling or exchanging its entire interest in the partnership at the end of the Closing Date, and such allocation shall be based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 706 of the Code.

(b) Pubco shall prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Blocker Entities with respect to any taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date in a reasonable and good faith manner and consistent with past practices of such Blocker Entity, except as required by applicable Law. Pubco shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s), a copy of any such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to filing for review, comment and written approval by the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) prior to filing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Pubco shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Blocker Entity to, amend any Tax Return of a Blocker Entity with respect to any taxable period (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date without the prior written approval of the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Pubco shall conduct any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of each Blocker Entity attributable to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) in a reasonable and good faith manner. Without limiting the foregoing, Pubco (i) shall inform the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) within 10 days of the receipt of any notice of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) shall keep such applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) informed of all material communications with the relevant taxing authority and allow such applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) to participate, at their own expense, in such Tax Proceeding, and (iii) shall not settle or compromise, or permit any Blocker Entity to settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written approval of the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

34


(d) Any refund (or credit or offset in lieu thereof) of Taxes of a Blocker Entity (other than any refund resulting from the carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute from a period beginning after the Closing Date to a period ending on or prior to the Closing Date) received by a Blocker Entity (or by Pubco or its Subsidiaries with respect to a Blocker Entity) for any taxable period (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (determined, in the case of any Straddle Period, in accordance with Section 4.4(a)) shall be for the account of the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s). Pubco shall pay over, or cause to be paid over, to the applicable Blocker Shareholder(s) the amount of any such refund, credit or offset (including any interest received from a Governmental Authority in respect thereof), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Pubco or its affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof or, in the case of a credit in lieu of a Tax refund, after Pubco files a Tax Return on which such credit results in a reduction in cash Taxes owed.

4.5 Survival. This Article IV, Section 1.4, and those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closings shall survive the consummation of the Mergers. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall not survive the consummation of the Mergers.

4.6 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be given as set forth in Section 5.3 of the Reorganization Agreement.

4.7 Waiver The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

4.8 Enforcement. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

4.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

4.10 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Pubco and the Blocker Entity Shareholders.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 4.6 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any monetary loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

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

4.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

4.16 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other Party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other Party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder.
