NUVERRA ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF EARLY EXCHANGE DATE

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (March 30, 2016) – Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: NESC) (“Nuverra” or the “Company”) announced today that the early exchange date with respect to its exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) for its existing 9.875% Senior Notes Due 2018 (the “Existing Notes”) has been extended until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 12, 2016, which is also the expiration date of the Exchange Offer. On or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 29, 2016, the original early exchange date, valid tenders had been received with respect to approximately $320.0 million of the $368.6 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes outstanding (excluding Existing Notes held by Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Mark D. Johnsrud) based on information provided to the Company by the exchange and information agent.

Both the Exchange Offer and the extended early exchange date will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 12, 2016, unless extended by the Company. Under the new terms of the Exchange Offer, the Company will deliver to holders whose tenders were accepted, on or promptly following the expiration date, for each of $1,000 principal amount of the Existing Notes, either $1,000 in (i)(a) its new Senior Secured Second-Lien Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) or (b) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, converted at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Offering Memorandum (defined below) and (ii) a pro rata share (based on the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes tendered on or prior to the expiration date) of penny warrants (the “Warrants”) sufficient to purchase 10% of shares of the Common Stock, subject to dilution as set forth in the offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement of the Company dated March 16, 2016 (the “Offering Memorandum”).

Holders who tender Existing Notes on or prior to the expiration date will also be deemed to have delivered a Consent (i) to the Waiver (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) to the Existing Notes (and related guarantees) and the original indenture pursuant to which the Existing Notes were issued, (ii) to enter into a proposed warrant agreement among the holders of Common Stock, on terms consistent in all material respects with those described in the Offering Memorandum and (iii) for new holders of Common Stock, an exercise of such holder’s full voting rights in favor of an increase in authorized shares of Common Stock as described in the Offering Memorandum.

THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NEITHER AN OFFER TO PURCHASE NOR A SOLICITATION TO BUY ANY OF THE EXISTING NOTES, NOR IS IT A SOLICITATION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER OR THE CONSENT SOLICITATION. THE COMPANY IS MAKING THE EXCHANGE OFFER ONLY BY, AND PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF, THE OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND THE RELATED CONSENT AND LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE

MAKING OR ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES, BLUE SKY OR OTHER LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
