Insights

Crestview restructures and partially exits Select Water via unit redemptions and share sales.

The filing shows a coordinated transaction where Crestview-related entities converted 2,632,760 Common LLC Units into Class A shares, canceled the same number of Class B shares, and sold 3,250,000 Class A shares at $18.92. This simplifies part of the Up-C style structure while monetizing a block of common stock.

After these moves, Crestview Partners II SES Investment B, LLC still directly beneficially owns 2,615,972 Class A shares, and Crestview Partners II SES Investment, LLC indirectly holds 11,158,101 Class B shares and an equal number of redeemable Units. The general partner may be deemed to exercise voting and dispositive power, but all parties disclaim beneficial ownership beyond their pecuniary interest, framing this as a fund-level portfolio decision rather than an individual insider’s trade.

There is no indication of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in the excerpt, so timing appears discretionary. However, without data on Select Water’s total shares outstanding, it is hard to gauge the proportional impact of selling 3,250,000 Class A shares solely from this document; the visible information mainly highlights a sizeable but not fully contextualized reduction and ongoing substantial indirect exposure.

Common LLC Units financial
"Represents Units of SES Holdings, indirectly owned by Crestview II SES through Legacy Holdings."
Redemption financial
"Reflects the redemption (the "Redemption") by the Reporting Persons of Common LLC Units."
Redemption is when an issuer or holder settles a financial instrument by paying it off or returning it for cash, such as a bond being paid at maturity or a preferred share bought back by the company. It matters to investors because redemption changes when and how they get their money back, can cut off future income from the investment, and affects the issuer’s cash needs—think of it like a loan being paid off early or a store refunding a returned purchase.
Class B Shares financial
"Represents Class B Shares indirectly beneficially owned by Crestview II SES through Legacy Holdings."
Class B shares are one type of a company’s stock that carries a specific set of rights — often different voting power or dividend rules compared with other classes. For investors, that affects influence over company decisions and potential income: owning Class B might mean fewer or more votes per share or different claim on profits, like having a different seat at a decision table or a different slice of the payout pie.
Cash Election Value financial
"cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A Shares."
