On October 31, 2025, Dawson Geophysical Company (the “Company”) and Dawson Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Dawson Operating” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Revolving Credit Note (the “Revolving Credit Note”) in favor of Equify Financial, as lender (the “Lender”). Dan Wilks and Farris Wilks, together with certain of their affiliates, collectively hold a controlling interest in the Company and in Equify.

Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Note, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, may, from time to time until November 20, 2028, request loans from the Lender for up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,035,032.
