Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On February 28, 2006, Basic Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: BAS) (Basic) announced that it has closed on the purchase of substantially all of the operating assets of G&L Tool, Ltd. (G&L), an oilfield services fishing and rental tool business headquartered in Abilene, Texas, for a total consideration of $58 million in cash. The final purchase price was lower than the previously reported estimated purchase price of approximately $80 million as Basic did not acquire approximately $15 million of G&L’s working capital and substituted an earn-out that resulted in the remainder of the reduction of the initial purchase price. This earn-out is based on meeting an annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) threshold and is payable over a five-year period up to an aggregate amount of $21 million. The assets being acquired from G&L generated approximately $39 million in revenue during 2005.
