Superior Drilling Products, Inc. Restructures $6 Million Note

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) ("SDP” or "Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today announced the amendment and restatement of the promissory note (the "Note") related to the Company’s 2014 acquisition of Hard Rock Solutions. Effective November 21, 2018, under the amended and restated note, the remaining $6.0 million in principal will be paid in equal quarterly installments of $750,000 over the next two years. Interest will accrue at a rate of 7.25% on remaining principal balance and will be paid quarterly with principle amounts due. The note matures on October 5, 2020.

Christopher Cashion, SDP’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, "The restructuring of this note simplifies the recapitalization of our balance sheet and measurably improves our liquidity ratio. We continue to advance options regarding our $4.2 million mortgage currently due February 15, 2019 and believe we will have that completed by year end.”

In 2014, the Company purchased the patented Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool (DnR) including all of the interests of Hard Rock Solutions, LLC ("Hard Rock”). Initial consideration consisted of $12.5 million paid in cash at closing and a $12.5 million seller’s note (the "Hard Rock Note”). The Note and subsequent amendments are secured by all of the patents, patents pending, other patent rights, and trademarks transferred to Hard Rock.

The DnR is a unique drilling tool technology that conditions the well bore simultaneously while drilling, driving efficiencies by reducing days on well, increasing penetration rates and extending the life of the bottom hole assembly. Globally, the DnR is increasing market acceptance with leading operators and service companies standardizing on the tool.
