Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement
On September 11, 2023, Enservco Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC (together with the Company, the “Purchaser” ) entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with OilServ, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Owner”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rapid Hot Flow, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and Rapid Pressure Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together, the “Sellers” and with the Owner, the “Selling Parties”), pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Sellers relating to its business of providing frac water heating services to the oil and gas industry in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the “Assets”).
In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, the Company issued to the Owner 2,939,133 shares of the Company’s common stock (based on $0.3598 per share, which is the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the 10 day period immediately preceding the closing date), of which 10% was deposited in escrow to satisfy the Selling Parties’ indemnifications obligations, if any, under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale the shares issued pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company is required to file such registration statement with the SEC within 60 days following the closing date.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by each party. The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains post-closing indemnification rights for each of the Purchaser and Selling Parties for breaches of representations and warranties, covenants, as well as certain other matters, subject to certain specified limitations.
In connection with Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a two year employment agreement with Mike Lade, the former President and Chief Financial Officer of Rapid Hot Flow, LLC., to serve as Senior Vice President of the Company. As an inducement to his employment, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Lade options to acquire 250,000 share so the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $.41 per share with 50% of such options vesting January 1, 2024 and the balance vesting January 1, 2025.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Note Purchase Agreement
On September 11, 2023 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (the “New Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 to Angel Capital Partners, LP (“Angel Capital”), an entity owned by Stephen D. Scott who is a principal of the Owner, and in aggregate principal amount of $187,500 to Equigen II, LLC (“Equigen”), an entity owned by Steven A. Weyel who is a principal of the Owner.. The Company expects to use the gross proceeds for general corporate purposes.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants, including a covenant that, without the written approval of the holders of greater than 75% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes, restricts the Company’s ability to (a) incur any debt which is senior or pari passu to the New Convertible Notes, or (b) issue any securities subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Company agreed to appoint Steven A. Weyel to the Board of Directors upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Also on September 11, 2023, pursuant to the terms of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company on September 1, 2023 (the “Prior Convertible Notes”), Cross River Partners, LP (“Cross River”), an entity controlled by Richard Murphy, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, exchanged its Prior Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 for a New Convertible Note with the same principal amount, and Kevin Chesser , a director of the Company, exchanged his Prior Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 for a New Convertible Note with the same principal amount.
Under the Note Purchase Agreement, within 45 days after the closing of the issuance of the New Convertible Notes, Cross River agreed to purchase an additional $250,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes, provided that Equigen and Angel Capital contemporaneously invest an additional $312,500 in aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes. The Company may issue New Convertible Notes representing up to the remaining balance of the maximum principal amount of $3,000,000 to additional investors
The New Convertible Notes have an eighteen (18) month term and accrue interest at 16.00% per annum. All outstanding principal and interest on the New Convertible Notes is due on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of their issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to make interest only payments on a quarterly basis at the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2023. The first quarterly interest payment is payable in shares of the Company’s common stock based on the five (5) day moving average of the closing sales price of the common stock on the NYSE American immediately prior to December 31, 2023. For calendar quarters beginning March 31, 2024, the Company is required to make quarterly interest payments in cash within ten (10) days of the close of the quarter. The New Convertible Notes may not be prepaid by the Company.
If the Company closes on a new offering of equity securities (the “Equity Financing”) of a minimum of $5,000,000 before the Maturity Date, then, subject to any NYSE American shareholder approval requirements, the principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest of the New Convertible Notes, will automatically convert into shares of the same class and type at the same price and on the same terms and provisions as the securities issued to the other participants in the Equity Financing on the closing date of such Equity Financing; provided, however, at the option of the holder, the New Convertible Notes may convert into such equity, (a) at $0.50 per share if the security sold in the Equity Financing is common stock or (b) at a share price which is 25% less than the lowest price per share of shares sold in the Equity Financing. Subject to any NYSE American shareholder approval requirements, the holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.
If a change of control of the Company or a sale substantial portion of any of its assets occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the holder may elect to receive either (i) the principal amount plus accrued interest plus a premium that is equal to 25% of the principal amount or (ii) the right to convert the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to a 25% discount to the five (5) day moving average of the closing sales price of the common stock on the NYSE American immediately prior to the transaction which results in a change of control of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Note Purchase Agreement and New Convertible Notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement and the form of the New Convertible Note, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

3.1 Due Formation. Sellers are duly qualified and organized, and are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of each state of formation and have the power and authority and all authorizations, licenses, permits and certifications necessary to own and operate its properties and to properly carry on the Business.

3.2 Authorization of Agreements; Validity; No Conflict.

3.5 Assumed Liabilities. The Assumed Liabilities were incurred by Sellers in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and are directly related to the Business.
3.6 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Sellers have no debts, liabilities or obligations, except for (i) liabilities specifically identified on the face of the balance sheet contained in the most recent Financial Statements, and (ii) liabilities that have arisen since the date of such balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. None of such known debts, liabilities or obligations result from, arise out of, relate to, are in the nature of, or were caused by any breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, or violation of law, and none of such known debts, liabilities or obligations, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of Sellers taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). There has been no event, occurrence, development or circumstance which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.7 Conduct of the Business. Since the date of the Interim Financial Statements through the Closing Date, no Selling Party has engaged in any practice, taken any action or entered into any transaction with respect to any of the Purchased Assets outside the ordinary course of business. Without limiting the foregoing, no Selling Party has engaged in any practice, taken any action or entered into any transaction with respect to the Business which could, to Sellers’ knowledge, have a Material Adverse Effect or entered into any agreement to do any of the foregoing.
3.8 Business Relationships. Within the past twelve (12) months: (i) no Affiliate (as defined below) of Sellers, the Owner, nor any Affiliate of the Owner (collectively, the “Interested Parties”) has been involved in any material business arrangement or relationship with Sellers; and (ii) no managers, officers or employees (or their respective family members) of Sellers have been involved in any material business arrangement or relationship with Sellers other than employment as properly reflected in the Financial Statements. No Interested Party, nor any managers, officers or employees of Sellers (nor their respective family members), own any asset that is used in the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to a Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. The term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

3.9 Title; Condition of Assets. Sellers are the owner of and have good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets (which constitute all of the properties and assets necessary or appropriate for the continued conduct of the Business in substantially the same manner as conducted immediately prior to the Closing), free of all restrictions on transfer or assignment and all Liens. The Purchased Assets comprising tangible personal property are in the same condition as when they were examined by the Purchaser on July 20, 2023 and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Following normal and customary pre-season repairs and maintenance the Purchased Assets are usable in the ordinary course of the Business.
3.10 Personal Property Leases. True and complete copies of all Sellers’ leases relating to leased personal property (the “Leased Personal Property”) have been delivered to Purchaser, and such leases are not in default and are valid, binding and enforceable against the respective parties thereto.
3.11 Litigation. There are no legal actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened against Sellers or against the Business, and no Selling Party is aware of any facts that are likely to result in or form the basis for any such action, suit or other proceeding.
3.12 Contracts. Sellers and, to the knowledge of Sellers, each other party to the Contracts, have performed all obligations required to be performed under the Contracts and are not in default under any Contract that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Contracts are each in full force and effect, and Sellers have not waived or assigned to any other individual or entity any of its rights thereunder. The Parties acknowledge that the Contracts are not assignable to Purchaser without the consent of third parties.

6.2 Purchaser Indemnification Obligations. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Selling Parties and their directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, consultants, representatives, Affiliates, successors, transferees and assigns (collectively, the “Selling Party Indemnitees”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses, for both third-party claims and direct claims between the Parties, incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising out of or as a result of any of the following: (i) any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or untruth in or any breach of or default in a covenant, obligation, agreement, representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (ii) any of the Assumed Liabilities, including but not limited to liabilities and obligations arising from ownership of the Purchased Assets or the operation of the Business after the Closing Date; and (iii) the ownership or operation of the Business or the Purchased Assets related to the period of time after the Closing Date.
6.3 Procedure for Indemnification.
(a) Each party will give the other party prompt written notice of any third-party claim to which these indemnification provisions apply; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice will not release the Selling Parties from any of their obligations under this Article 6, except to the extent that such failure has actually prejudiced the Selling Parties’ rights in such third-party claim.
(b) If a party is the subject of a third-party claim for which it will seek indemnification from the other party under this Article 6, it may either defend such claim or tender the defense to the indemnifying parties. If a party tenders the defense of any third-party claim to the other party, then (i) the indemnified party shall have the right to consent to the selection of legal counsel in its sole discretion and (ii) the indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement, defense discharge, admission of liability or compromise of any claim or litigation without obtaining approval, which the indemnified party can provide or withhold in its sole discretion. If the indemnified party elects to defend such third-party claim, then (1) the indemnified party shall have the full right to independently control the defense and settlement of such matter, which actions shall not negatively impact the indemnified party’s right to indemnification and to be held harmless under this Article 6 by the indemnifying party, and (2) the indemnifying party shall, at the request of the indemnified party, if any, cooperate and assist the indemnified party in the defense of such third-party claim.
(c) Upon request of the indemnified party in a matter where the indemnifying party is defending such claim, the indemnifying party will allow the indemnified party, at the indemnified party’s own cost and expense (including, without limitation, legal fees), to participate in such defense; provided, however, the indemnified party reserves the right to seek reimbursement and payment of defense costs and attorneys’ fees if the indemnified party’s defense or position in such claim is different from or in conflict with the indemnifying party’s defense or position, as determined by the indemnified party, in its sole discretion.
(d) Purchaser or the Selling Parties pursuant to this Article 6 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Purchaser or the Selling Parties, as the case may be, to an account designated by Purchaser or the Selling Parties, as the case may be, within five (5) business days after the determination thereof by mutual agreement of the parties or by the entry of a final unappealable order of a court or another dispute resolution authority having proper jurisdiction, provided that Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, offset any Losses subject to indemnification by the Selling Parties hereunder against the Escrow Amount.
6.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law.
6.5 Non-Exclusive Remedy; Limits on Indemnification. The indemnification obligations of the parties in this Article 6 shall apply both to direct claims of a party against the other party and claims of a party related to claims by third parties. In the event the Selling Parties are required to satisfy any indemnification obligations under this Article 6, Owner may provide notice to Purchaser of Owner’s election to satisfy such indemnification obligations by the redemption by Purchaser of such Transaction Shares, as a dollar for dollar credit against such indemnification obligations, at the then-current fair market value of the Transaction Shares as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of Purchaser. The above indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common law remedy any party may have with respect to any other party, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Selling Parties, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall be liable pursuant to this Article 6 shall not exceed the Purchase Price. The Selling Parties, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall not be liable for indemnification under this Article 6 until the aggregate amount of all Losses to be indemnified by such Party hereunder exceeds Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) (the “Basket Amount”), in which event the applicable indemnifying party shall pay or be liable for only those Losses in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the limitations set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not limit the rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification with respect to (i) claims arising from or based on fraud, criminal misconduct or intentional or willful misrepresentation or intentional or willful breach of any Transaction Document, (ii) claims arising from Selling Parties’ breach of any covenants, (iii) claims for breach of Fundamental Representations (as defined in Section 7.3), and (iv) the Special Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 6 shall operate to bar or limit (and for the avoidance of doubt, no cap, basket or deductible shall limit) any claim or the Losses arising from or based on fraud, criminal misconduct, or intentional misconduct.
6.6 Effect of Investigation. The Purchaser Indemnitees’ right to indemnification for any representations, warranties, or covenants within this Agreement shall not be affected by any inspection, investigation or knowledge acquired by any Purchaser Indemnitee (or that could have been acquired by any Purchaser Indemnitee).
7.1 Further Acts and Assurances; Transition Matters. Each Selling Party and Purchaser shall take any and all steps reasonably necessary to effectuate the intended purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the transfer of title to any motor vehicles included in the Purchased Assets.
7.2 Guaranty of Obligations. Owner guarantees all obligations of Sellers under the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sellers’ obligations under Article 6, without requiring Purchaser to first seek recourse from Sellers.
7.3 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is (i) six (6) years from the Closing Date for the representations in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.9, 3.13(a), 3.14, and 3.16 (the “Fundamental Representations”), and (ii) (2) years from the Closing Date for all other representations and warranties herein (the “Non-Fundamental Representations”). All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

A notice is effective upon receipt and shall be sent via one of the following methods: delivery in person, overnight courier service, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, sent to the following addresses (or as designated by either party upon notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 7):

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, including but not limited to the form of convertible promissory note (the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
3.2. Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company.. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
3.3. Duly Issued; Nonassessable. The Conversion Shares issuable upon any conversion of the Note, if any such conversion event occurs pursuant to the terms set forth in the Note, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable stock of the Company and free of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other restriction (collectively, “Liens”) and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.
3.4. Subsidiaries. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital shares or other equity interests of each Subsidiary, free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.
3.5. Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”), except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, as defined in Section 3.6 of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, which could result in a Material Adverse Effect. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
3.6. Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the one year preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such materials) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
3.7. Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company as of the date hereof is as set forth in the SEC Reports, and includes the number of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially, and of record, by Subsidiaries of the Company or entities of any kind in which the Company has an ownership interest of any kind (the “Affiliates”) as of the date hereof. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act except for any equity that may be issued by the Company contemporaneously with the question of certain assets of OilServ, LLC and its affiliates. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. As a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities as defined in Section 3.8, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company does not have any share appreciation rights or “phantom share” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws where applicable, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors, or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s share capital to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.
3.8. Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in Section 4 hereof, the offer, issue, and sale of the Note and the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.
3.9. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds of sale and issuance of the Note for the operations of its business, and not for any personal, family or household purpose. The Company shall use the proceeds of this Note and all other similar Notes issued in connection with the Offering solely as working capital and shall not be used to repay existing debt, subordinated or senior, of the Company.
3.10. Brokers and Finders. No person or entity acting on behalf or under the authority of the Company or any of its Affiliates is or will be entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.11. Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that it has not provided any of the Investors or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the SEC Reports. The Company understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Investor to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Investor in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Investor hereunder.
4.11. Tax Consequences. The investment in the Note may have tax consequences under applicable taxation laws, that it is the sole responsibility of the Investor to determine and assess such tax consequences as may apply to the Investor’s particular circumstances, and the Investor has not received and is not relying on the Company for any tax advice whatsoever.

Exhibit 99.1
Enservco Corporation Closes Acquisition of Rapid Hot Oilfield Services Provider
Company also enhances liquidity with closing of $1,625,000 of convertible debt transaction
Longmont, CO – September 11, 2023 – Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV), a diversified national provider of specialized well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced it has acquired all of the assets of oilfield services provider Rapid Hot in an all-stock transaction valued at $1,057,500.
Headquartered in Washington, PA, Rapid Hot serves E&P customers in the Appalachian Basin and is a leading provider of frac water heating services in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
“This acquisition substantially strengthens Enservco’s position in the Marcellus shale and also strengthens our management team with the addition of Mike Lade, Rapid Hot’s president and CFO, who joins Enservco as chief of staff,” said Rich Murphy. “We are also pleased to announce the closing of a $1,625,000 convertible debt financing that included participation from lead investors of Rapid Hot, an Enservco board member and Cross River Partners. The financing strengthens our working capital position as we approach our 2023-24 heating season, which is expected to benefit from anticipated cooler winter temperatures.”
Enservco also announced the addition of Steve Weyel to the Company’s Board of Directors. Weyel joins the Board with more than 40 years of experience as a senior executive, board director and chairman of private and public energy companies. He was the founder, CEO and Chairman of EnVen Energy Corporation, a deepwater exploration company that earlier this year was merged in a transaction valued at nearly $1.3 billion. His energy leadership encompasses global oil services, commodities, deregulated power and upstream oil and gas. He has successfully driven and closed dozens of M&A transactions and financings in excess of $20 billion.
“We look forward to benefitting from Steve’s deep experience in the energy space and ability to identify and close attractive M&A opportunities,” said Murphy. “In the last five months we have added two new directors to our Board, whose oversight and support of our management team will be essential as we expand our business.”
Weyel added, “I look forward to joining the Enservco Board and supporting management’s efforts to capitalize on organic and acquisitive growth opportunities. Enservco has made great progress in recent years reducing debt and taking costs out of the business, and I’m excited to join the Board at this stage of the Company’s evolution.”
About Enservco
Through its various operating subsidiaries, Enservco provides a range of oilfield services, including hot oiling, acidizing, frac water heating, and related services. The Company has a broad geographic footprint covering seven major domestic oil and gas basins and serves customers in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Wyoming, West Virginia, Utah, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and Louisiana.

*Note on non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The term "EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings (net income or loss) plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing Enservco’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations table at the end of this release. We intend to continue to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains information that is "forward-looking" in that it describes events and conditions Enservco reasonably expects to occur in the future. Expectations for the future performance of Enservco are dependent upon a number of factors, and there can be no assurance that Enservco will achieve the results as contemplated herein. Certain statements contained in this release using the terms "may," "expects to," “should,” and other terms denoting future possibilities, are forward-looking statements. The accuracy of these statements cannot be guaranteed as they are subject to a variety of risks, which are beyond Enservco's ability to predict, or control and which may cause actual results to differ materially from the projections or estimates contained herein. Among these risks are those set forth in Enservco’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and subsequently filed documents with the SEC. Forward looking statements in this news release that are subject to risk include expectations for cooler winter weather and ability to reduce costs, grow organically and acquisitively, increase market share in key basins, improve its financial performance, build a larger business and return value to shareholders. It is important that each person reviewing this release understand the significant risks attendant to the operations of Enservco. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made herein.
