Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 17, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) received a request from Mr. Tim Go, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and a member of the Board, to take a voluntary leave of absence from his duties. The Board has accepted the request and, in a special meeting, elected the current Chairperson of the Board, Mr. Franklin Myers, as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on a temporary basis, effective as of February 17, 2026. The Board has directed the Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee of the Board to commence a process to determine what future actions, whether interim or otherwise, should be taken in relation to the position of Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Go’s voluntary leave of absence is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Myers, 73, has served as the Chairperson of the Board of the Company since February 2019. He has served as an Operating Partner of Quantum Energy Partners, a private equity firm, since 2024, and previously served as a Senior Advisor of Quantum Energy Partners since February 2013. Mr. Myers served as an operating advisor to Paine & Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, from 2009 through 2012 and as Senior Advisor to Cameron International Corporation, a publicly traded provider of flow equipment products, from 2008 until 2009. He served Cameron in various other capacities, including as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer from 2003 through 2008, President of Cameron’s compression business from 1998 through 2001 and Senior Vice President and General Counsel from 1995 through 1999. In addition, Mr. Myers served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Baker Hughes Incorporated from 1988 through 1995 and as an associate and then a partner at Fulbright & Jaworski (now Norton Rose Fulbright) from 1978 through 1988. Mr. Myers currently serves as a director of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. Mr. Myers served as a director of Frontier Oil Corporation from 2009 until the merger of Frontier Oil Corporation and Holly Corporation in July 2011 and as a director of NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. from February 2017 to June 2020.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Myers and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Myers was elected to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President on a temporary basis. Mr. Myers does not have any family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company, or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. There are no transactions in which Mr. Myers has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Company expects that the Compensation Committee of the Board will recommend to the Board appropriate compensation for Mr. Myers for his service as temporary Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, which recommendation will be made to and considered by the Board at a later date.
