Insights

TETRA formalizes a major construction framework for its Evergreen bromine expansion with defined cost, warranty, and delay protections.

The agreement frames how Diversified Construction & Design will deliver Phases 2 and 3 of the Evergreen Project, which account for most remaining construction. Around $95 million of an estimated $220 million in remaining capital is expected to flow through this structure, making it central to project execution.

Key protections include 18‑month performance warranties, liquidated damages for schedule delays capped at $2.0 million, and comprehensive insurance maintained by TETRA. A 30‑day no‑cause termination right with reimbursement plus a 5% uplift on unpaid contract value adds flexibility but also defines TETRA’s exit costs. Actual financial impact will depend on construction performance, cost control, and satisfaction of conditions to the final investment decision highlighted in the forward‑looking statements.

Master Services Agreement financial
"entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Diversified Construction & Design"
A master services agreement is a standing contract that sets the main terms, responsibilities, pricing framework and processes for future work between two parties, allowing individual projects or orders to be added later without renegotiating core terms. For investors, it signals predictability and reduced legal friction around revenue streams and costs—like a subscription plan for services that makes future income and obligations easier to forecast and value.
liquidated damages financial
"will incur liquidated damages for failure to timely achieve substantial completion, accruing on a tiered per-day basis"
A pre-agreed sum that one party must pay if it breaks a contract, chosen so both sides avoid arguing over the exact amount of loss later. Think of it like a fixed cancellation fee for a reservation: it makes potential costs predictable. For investors, liquidated damages matter because they create a known financial liability that can affect cash flow, contract risk, balance-sheet exposure and deal valuations.
builder’s risk insurance financial
"The Company maintains builder’s risk insurance and an owner-controlled insurance program covering the work"
owner-controlled insurance program financial
"builder’s risk insurance and an owner-controlled insurance program covering the work to be performed"
final investment decision financial
"including the satisfaction of the conditions to the Company’s previously announced final investment decision"
A final investment decision is the point at which a person or organization chooses to move forward with a particular project or purchase after reviewing all the necessary information and options. It is like deciding to buy a house after considering all the costs, benefits, and alternatives. This decision is important because it determines whether and when the investment will be made, impacting future financial plans and outcomes.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"includes certain statements that are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2026, TETRA Bromine Project LLC (“TBP”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of TETRA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Diversified Construction & Design, L.L.C. (“Contractor”). The Agreement establishes the contractual framework under which the Contractor will provide construction, commissioning, and related services for the development of Phases 2 and 3 of the Company’s previously announced bromine production facility located near Stamps, Arkansas (the “Evergreen Project”). Phases 2 and 3 represent a substantial majority of the remaining construction scope for the Evergreen Project, and the Company expects that substantially all of those construction services will be performed under the Agreement. As previously disclosed, estimated remaining capital expenditures for the Evergreen Project are approximately $220 million as of March 31, 2026, of which approximately $95 million is expected to be incurred in connection with construction services provided pursuant to the Agreement.

The Agreement sets out the governing terms and conditions for the work, while the specific scope, consideration and completion schedule for each portion of the work will be established in individual work orders issued pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, the Agreement. Consideration under each work order is payable on either a fixed-price or rate basis as set forth in each work order.

The Agreement contains terms customary for construction services of this type, including provisions relating to performance warranties, indemnification, insurance, liens and termination. The Contractor warrants the work for a period of 18 months following final acceptance (but in no event later than December 31, 2029) and will incur liquidated damages for failure to timely achieve substantial completion, accruing on a tiered per-day basis subject to a liquidated damages cap of $2.0 million in the event that the Agreement is terminated by TBP. The Company maintains builder’s risk insurance and an owner-controlled insurance program covering the work to be performed under the Agreement. TBP may terminate the Agreement, or any individual work order, without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice, in which case the Contractor is entitled to specified demobilization and subcontractor-cancellation costs plus 5% of the unpaid portion of the applicable contract price.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
