A lifelong entrepreneur, Mr. Schmitz has also founded and developed numerous other successful oil and gas businesses, including Silver Creek Oil & Gas, Complete Production Services and CP Energy.

Mr. Schmitz, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, stated, "I am excited to assume this executive leadership position with Select. I have a long history with Select and look forward to working closely with our management team, customers and other stakeholders to navigate the current industry downturn and position Select for future success as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic hopefully subside during 2021. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to thank Holli for her service and contributions to the Company over the past several years and wish her well in her future endeavors."

Ms. Ladhani said, "It has been my privilege to work with the Select and Rockwater teams over the past ten years. I would like to thank them and wish Select all the best going forward."
