Item 8.01

Other Events

As previously disclosed, on January 24, 2022, Exterran Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Exterran”), Enerflex Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“Enerflex”) and Enerflex US Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Enerflex (“Merger Sub”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into Exterran (the “Merger”), with Exterran surviving the Merger as a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of Enerflex.

In connection with the Merger, Enerflex filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended, the “Form F-4”). On September 9, 2022, Exterran filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with the SEC for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meeting of Exterran’s stockholders to be held on October 11, 2022, for purposes of voting, among other things, on a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

As previously disclosed, following announcement of the merger, five purported stockholders of Exterran filed substantially similar lawsuits under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Complaints”). One suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Two were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. One suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The fifth suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, along with one of the two suits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, have been voluntarily dismissed. The other three suits remain pending. The Complaints assert claims that Exterran made misleading or materially incomplete disclosures regarding the merger in the Form F-4, including but not limited to claims that the Form F-4 omitted material information regarding the financial projections provided to Exterran’s financial advisor, the valuation analyses performed by Exterran’s financial advisor, and alleged conflicts of Exterran officers and directors with respect to the merger. The Complaints generally name Exterran and its directors as defendants and seek declarative and injunctive relief, damages, costs, expenses, and other relief. In addition to the Complaints, purported stockholders of Exterran have delivered demand letters to Exterran that, among other things, allege the disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is deficient and request that Exterran supplement such disclosure prior to the Exterran special meeting (the “Demand Letters”).

Exterran and the Exterran board believe the Complaints and the Demand Letters are without merit, that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus fully complies with the Exchange Act and all other applicable law, and that no further disclosure is required. However, solely in order to avoid the risk of delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the consummation of the merger and to minimize the expense and distraction of defending such actions, Exterran hereby voluntarily amends and supplements the Proxy Statement/Prospectus as set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in the supplemental disclosures set forth below should be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein.

The Exterran board unanimously recommends that Exterran stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Exterran proposals at the Exterran special meeting, each as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. All page references in this Current Report on Form 8-K are to pages of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and to the corresponding pages of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Form F-4, and all terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form F-4, which should be read in their entirety. To the extent that information in this Current Report on Form 8-K differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form F-4, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall supersede or supplement such information in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form F-4.
