Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. filed an 8-K reporting that on February 12, 2026 the Board appointed Stephan E. Tompsett as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer.
• Mr. Tompsett, age 49, most recently served as CFO of Aris Water Solutions (Sept 2022–Oct 2025) and previously held CFO roles at Limetree Bay Energy (May 2021–May 2022) and EagleClaw Midstream (Mar 2019–Apr 2021). He holds an MBA and BS degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.

Key Details

• Appointment effective date: February 12, 2026; reported in Form 8-K filed Feb 17, 2026.
• Prior CFO Kyle Ramachandran ceased serving as CFO to concentrate on his role as President and head of Solaris Power Solutions.
• The Company entered an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Tompsett (filed as Exhibit 10.1) to indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and to advance expenses.
• Compensation terms for Mr. Tompsett have not yet been finalized and will be disclosed in a future filing if required.

Why It Matters

• A new CFO with experience in energy, midstream operations and corporate restructurings could influence Solaris’s financial strategy, reporting and capital decisions going forward.
• The change shifts day-to-day finance responsibilities away from the Company’s President, which may affect operational focus and risk oversight in the near term.
• Indemnification is a common executive protection that can help attract senior hires; investors should watch for forthcoming disclosures about Mr. Tompsett’s compensation and any related arrangements.
