PROPOSAL NO. 2
REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY IN NEVADA

Description of the Proposed Reincorporation in Nevada

We propose to change our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, which we refer herein to as the “Reincorporation.” The Reincorporation would be effected through the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company into a newly formed Nevada corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which we refer to herein as the “Surviving Company,” pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Surviving Company will be the surviving corporation and will continue to operate our business under the name “Enservco Corporation”

Reincorporation in Nevada will not result in a material change in our business, management, assets, liabilities or net worth. Reincorporation in Nevada will allow us to take advantage of certain provisions of the corporate laws of Nevada in addition to saving the Company a substantial amount with respect to annual state fees.

Reasons for the Reincorporation in Nevada

Our Board of Directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Nevada is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. First of all, the Reincorporation will eliminate our obligation to pay the annual Delaware franchise tax, which we expect will result in substantial savings to us over the long term. For tax year 2020, we paid $200,000 in Delaware franchise taxes. If we reincorporate in Nevada, our current annual fees will consist of an annual business license fee of $500 and an annual tax based on the number of authorized shares, currently equal to $400 (with the precise amount of savings in 2021 depending on the exact date of the Reincorporation).

In addition, the Reincorporation may help us attract and retain qualified management by reducing the risk of frivolous lawsuits being filed against the Company and its directors and officers. We believe that for the reasons described below, in general, Nevada law provides greater protection from such litigation to our directors, officers and the Company than Delaware law. The increasing frequency of claims and litigation with little or no merit directed towards directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers in general of public companies in exercising their duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to these claims and to defend this type of litigation can be substantial. Delaware law provides that every person becoming a director of a Delaware corporation consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware courts in connection with any action concerning the corporation. Accordingly, a director can be personally sued in Delaware, even though the director has no other contacts with the state. Similarly, Nevada law provides that every person who accepts election or appointment, including reelection or reappointment, as a director or officer of a Nevada corporation consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Nevada courts in connection with all civil actions or proceedings brought in Nevada by, on behalf of or against the entity in which the director or officer is a necessary or proper party, or in any action or proceeding against the director or officer for a violation of a duty in such capacity, whether or not the person continues to serve as a director or officer at the time the action or proceeding is commenced. We believe that the advantage of Nevada is that, unlike Delaware corporate law, much of which consists of judicial decisions that migrate and develop over time, Nevada has pursued a statute-focused approach that does not depend upon constant judicial supplementation and revision, and is intended to be stable, predictable and more efficient.

Also, reincorporation in Nevada will provide potentially greater protection from frivolous litigation for directors of the Company and, unlike Delaware, for officers as well. Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt provisions limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. By contrast, Nevada law permits a broader exclusion of liability of both officers and directors to the Company and its stockholders, providing for an exclusion of all monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty unless they arise from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Reincorporation will result in the elimination of any liability of an officer or director for a breach of the duty of loyalty unless arising from intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. There is currently no known pending claim or litigation against any of our directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty related to their service as directors or officers of the Company. The directors have an interest in the Reincorporation to the extent that they will be entitled to such limitation of liability.

The Reincorporation is not being effected to prevent a change in control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to our Board to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on our Board. Nevertheless, certain effects of the proposed reincorporation may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of being subject to Nevada law. For a discussion of differences between the laws of Delaware and Nevada, including differences that may have anti-takeover implications, please see “Comparative Rights of Stockholders under Delaware and Nevada Law” below.

Material Terms of the Merger

In order to effect the Reincorporation of the Company in Nevada, the Company will be merged with and into the Surviving Company. Prior to the Merger, the Surviving Company will not have engaged in any activities except in connection with the proposed transaction. The mailing address and telephone number of the Surviving Company and its telephone number are the same as those of the Company. As part of its approval and recommendations of our reincorporation in Nevada, the Board of Directors has approved, and recommends to our stockholders for their adoption and approval, the Merger Agreement pursuant to which we will be merged with and into the Surviving Company. The full texts of the Merger Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Company in substantially the form under which the Company’s business will be conducted after the Merger are attached hereto as Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C, respectively. The discussion contained in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Appendices.

The Board of Directors has determined that the Reincorporation and the terms of the Merger Agreement between the Company and Surviving Company are in the best interests of our stockholders. The terms of the Merger Agreement are more fully described below.

Terms of the Merger Agreement

The following discussion summarizes the material terms of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to be a complete statement of all provisions of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this information statement as Appendix A. Stockholders are urged to read the Merger Agreement carefully as it is the legal document that will govern the Merger.

The Merger. The Merger Agreement will provide that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company shall be merged with and into the Surviving Company, the Company’s separate legal existence shall cease and the Surviving Company shall continue as the surviving corporation.

Effect of the Merger. Upon the effectiveness of the Reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company will automatically be converted into shares of the common stock of the Surviving Company, on a one-for-one-basis. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock will be converted into options and warrants to purchase the same number of shares of the Surviving Company’s common stock. Outstanding convertible securities and convertible debt that are convertible into the Company’s common stock will be converted into convertible securities and convertible debt that are convertible into the same number of shares of the Surviving Company’s common stock. The Surviving Company, as the surviving corporation, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger with all of its purposes and powers. The Surviving Company shall be governed by Nevada law and succeed to all rights, assets, liabilities and obligations of the Company in accordance with Nevada law and Delaware law.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Delaware Company Following the Merger. The Merger Agreement will provide that the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Company, as in effect at the Effective Time (as defined below) will be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, respectively, of the surviving corporation following the Merger. They are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively.

Directors and Officers of the Delaware Company Following the Merger. The incumbent officers and directors of the Company will also be the officers and directors of the Surviving Company at the Effective Time.

Effective Time

It is anticipated that the Merger, and consequently our reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada, will become effective at the date and time (the “Effective Time”) specified in each of (i) the Articles of Merger to be executed and filed with the office of the Nevada Secretary of State in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 92A.200 and (ii) the Certificate of Merger to be executed and filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with Section 252 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation

We intend the Merger to be a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, the holders of our common stock will not recognize any gain or loss under the U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the consummation of the Reincorporation, and neither will the Company nor the Surviving Company. Each stockholder will have the same basis in Surviving Company common stock received as a result of the Reincorporation as that holder has in our common stock held at the time the Merger is consummated. Each holder’s holding period in Surviving Company common stock received as a result of the Merger will include the period during which such holder held our common stock at the time the Merger is consummated, provided the latter was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the Merger.

This Proxy Statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and has done so only for general information. It does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders based upon individual circumstances or to stockholders who are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee stock options or otherwise. This Proxy Statement does not address the tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has neither requested nor received a tax opinion from legal counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences of reincorporation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions would not alter the consequences discussed above.

You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the Reincorporation, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

Securities Act Consequences

The shares of Surviving Company common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of our common stock are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In that respect, the Surviving Company is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the Securities Act, which provides that a merger that has as its sole purpose a change in a corporation’s domicile does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the Securities Act. After the Merger, the Surviving Company will be a publicly held company, and it will file with the SEC and provide to its stockholders the same type of information that we have previously filed and provided. Stockholders, whose shares of our common stock are freely tradable before the Merger, will continue to have freely tradable shares of Surviving Company common stock. Stockholders holding restricted shares of Surviving Company common stock will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of our common stock are subject. In summary, the Surviving Company and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Reincorporation as the Company and our stockholders prior to the Reincorporation.

No Exchange of Stock Certificates Required

Stockholders are not required to exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of the Surviving Company common stock. New stock certificates representing shares of Surviving Company common stock will not be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder submits one or more existing certificates for transfer, whether pursuant to sale or other disposition. However, stockholders (at their option and at their expense) may exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of Surviving Company common stock following the effective time of the Merger.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be merged with and into the Surviving Company, with the Surviving Company being the surviving corporation; accordingly, the Merger is not expected to be accounted for as a business combination and as a result no goodwill is expected to be recorded. The incumbent officers and directors of the Company will also be the officers and directors of the Surviving Company at the Effective Time. Since the Merger is not expected to be accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill is expected to be recorded in connection therewith and the costs incurred in connection with the Merger are expected to be expensed.

NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Appraisal rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the DGCL.

Section 262 of the DGCL provides that stockholders have the right, in some circumstances, to dissent from certain corporate actions and to instead demand payment of the fair value of their shares. Stockholders do not have appraisal rights with respect to shares of any class or series of stock if, at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, such shares of stock, or depositary receipts in respect thereof, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders, unless the stockholders receive in exchange for their shares anything other than shares of stock of the surviving or resulting corporation (or depositary receipts in respect thereof), or of any other corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held by more than 2,000 holders of record, cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depositary receipts described above or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, neither the Company’s current Charter nor its current Bylaws contain any additional provisions relating to dissenters’ rights of appraisal. Therefore, because our common stock is listed on The NYSE American stock exchange, and holders of our common stock will receive in the Reincorporation only shares of the Surviving Company’s common stock, which will be listed on The NYSE American stock exchange, holders of our common stock will not be entitled to appraisal rights in the Reincorporation with respect to their shares of our common stock.

Potential Disadvantages of the Reincorporation

Because of Delaware’s prominence as a state of incorporation for many large corporations, the Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. While Nevada also has encouraged incorporation in that state and adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible statutes that it periodically updates and revises to meet changing business needs, because Nevada case law concerning the effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited, the Company and its stockholders may experience less predictability with respect to the legality of certain corporate affairs and transactions and stockholders’ rights to challenge them, to the extent Nevada’s statutes do not provide a clear answer and a Nevada court must make a determination.

In addition, underwriters and other members of the financial services industry may be less willing and able to assist the Company with capital-raising programs because they might perceive Nevada’s laws as being less flexible or developed than Delaware’s. Certain investment funds, sophisticated investors and brokerage firms may likewise be less comfortable and less willing to invest in a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction other than Delaware whose corporate laws may be less understood or perceived to be unresponsive to stockholder rights.

Comparative Rights of Stockholders Before and After the Reincorporation

Upon consummation of the Reincorporation, the outstanding shares of our common stock will be converted into shares of the Surviving Company’s common stock. Consequently, our common stockholders, whose rights as stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL and the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, will become common stockholders of the Surviving Company (as the surviving corporation) whose rights will be governed by the NRS and the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Company, which are attached hereto as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively. The Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are referred to below as the “Current Charter” and “Current Bylaws”, respectively, and the Surviving Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are referred to below as the “New Charter” and the “New Bylaws”, respectively.

Key Changes in the Company’s Charter and Bylaws to be Implemented by the Reincorporation

The New Charter and New Bylaws differ in a number of respects from the Current Charter and Current Bylaws, respectively, copies of which have been filed with the SEC (including as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 23, 2021) and are also available for inspection by our stockholders upon reasonable notice during regular business hours, at our principal executive offices at 14133 County Road 9 ½, Longmont, CO 80504, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

There are certain differences that may affect your rights as a stockholder, as well as the corporate governance of the Surviving Company as the surviving corporation. The following are summaries of some of the more significant differences between the Current Charter and Current Bylaws, on the one hand, and the New Charter and New Bylaws, on the other. Except as described in this section, the rights of stockholders under the New Charter and New Bylaws are substantially the same as under the Current Charter and Current Bylaws.

The following discussion is a brief summary. It does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Current Charter and Current Bylaws, and the New Charter and New Bylaws.

General. The statutory corporate laws of Nevada, as governed by the NRS, are similar in many respects to those of Delaware, as governed by the DGCL. However, there are certain differences that may affect your rights as a stockholder, as well as the corporate governance of the Surviving Company. The following are summaries of material differences between the current rights of stockholders of the Company and the rights of stockholders of the Surviving Company following the consummation of the Reincorporation.

The following discussion is a brief summary. It does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NRS and DGCL, as well as the forms of the New Charter and New Bylaws, which are attached as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively, to this Proxy Statement, and which will come into effect concurrently with the consummation of the Reincorporation.

Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Capital Stock. The NRS allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in a class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any class or series of the corporation’s shares (and change the par value thereof) without a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not adversely change or alter any right or preference of the stockholders and does not include any provision or provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or scrip issued to stockholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares. Delaware law has no similar provision.

Classified Board of Directors. The DGCL permits any Delaware corporation to classify its board of directors into as many as three classes with staggered terms of office. If this were done, the stockholders would elect only one class each year and each class would have a term of office of three years. The Current Charter and Current Bylaws do not provide for a classified board of directors.

The NRS also permits any Nevada corporations to classify its board of directors into as many as four classes with staggered terms of office, where at least one-fourth of the directors must be elected annually. The New Charter and New Bylaws also do not provide for a classified board of directors, and thus all directors will still be elected each year for a one-year term following the consummation of the Reincorporation.

Cumulative Voting. Cumulative voting for directors entitles each stockholder to cast a number of votes that is equal to the number of voting shares held by such stockholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected and to cast all such votes for one nominee or distribute such votes among up to as many candidates as there are positions to be filled. Cumulative voting may enable a minority stockholder or group of stockholders to elect at least one representative to the board of directors where such stockholders would not be able to elect any directors without cumulative voting.

Although the DGCL does not generally grant stockholders cumulative voting rights, a Delaware corporation may provide in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation for cumulative voting in the election of directors. The NRS also permits any Nevada corporation to provide in its articles of incorporation the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors as long as certain procedures are followed.

The Current Charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Similarly, the New Charter does not provide for cumulative voting.

Vacancies. Under both the DGCL and the NRS, vacancies on the board of directors during the year may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Any director so appointed will hold office for the remainder of the term of the director no longer on the board.

Removal of Directors. Under the DGCL, the holders of a majority of shares of each class entitled to vote at an election of directors may vote to remove any director or the entire board without cause unless (i) the board is a classified board, in which case directors may be removed only for cause, or (ii) the corporation has cumulative voting, in which case, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect him. Thus, under the DGCL, a director of a corporation that does have a classified board or permit cumulative voting, such as the Company, may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

The NRS requires the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares or class or series of shares of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at an election of directors in order to remove a director or all of the directors. Furthermore, the NRS does not make a distinction between removals for cause and removals without cause. The articles of incorporation may provide for a higher voting threshold but not a lower one.

Fiduciary Duty and Business Judgment. Nevada, like most jurisdictions, requires that directors and officers of Nevada corporations exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation but, unlike other jurisdictions, fiduciary duties of directors and officers are codified in the NRS. As a matter of law, directors and officers are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation in making business decisions. In performing such duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance on information, opinions, reports, financial statements and other financial data prepared or presented by corporate directors, officers or employees who are reasonably believed to be reliable and competent. Professional reliance may also be extended to legal counsel, public accountants, advisers, bankers or other persons reasonably believed to be competent, and to the work of a committee (on which the particular director or officer does not serve) if the committee was established and empowered by the corporation’s board of directors, and if the committee’s work was within its designated authority and was about matters on which the committee was reasonably believed to merit confidence. However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books of account or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted.

Under Delaware law, members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. Such appropriate reliance on records and other information protects directors from liability related to decisions made based on such records and other information. Unlike Delaware law, Nevada law extends the statutory protection for reliance on such persons to corporate officers.

Flexibility for Decisions, including Takeovers. Nevada provides directors with more discretion than Delaware in making corporate decisions, including decisions made in takeover situations. Under Nevada law, director and officer actions taken in response to a change or potential change in control are granted the benefits of the business judgment rule. However, in the case of an action that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the advantage of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and effectiveness exists and the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ rights is reasonable in relation to such threat.

In exercising their powers, including in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada corporations may consider the effect of the decision on several corporate constituencies in addition to the stockholders, including the corporation’s employees, suppliers, creditors, customers, the economy of the state and nation, the interests of the community and society in general, and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation. To underscore the discretion of directors and officers of Nevada corporations, the NRS specifically states that such directors and officers are not required to consider the effect of a proposed corporate action upon any constituent as a dominant factor.

The DGCL does not provide a similar list of statutory factors that corporate directors and officers may consider in making decisions. In a number of cases, Delaware law has been interpreted to provide that fiduciary duties require directors to accept an offer from the highest bidder regardless of the effect of such sale on the corporate constituencies other than the stockholders. Thus, the flexibility granted to directors of Nevada corporations when making business decisions, including in the context of a hostile takeover, are greater than those granted to directors of Delaware corporations.

Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors and Officers. The NRS and the DGCL each permit corporations to adopt provisions in their charter documents that eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors to the corporation or their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty, subject to the differences discussed below.

Both jurisdictions preclude liability limitation for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct and for paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds. Unlike the DGCL, however, the NRS does not expressly preclude a corporation from limiting liability for a director’s breach of the duty of loyalty or for any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Alternatively, the NRS permits a corporation to renounce in its articles of incorporation any interest or expectancy to participate in specific or specified classes or categories of business opportunities. In addition, the NRS provision permitting limitation of liability applies to both directors and officers and expressly applies to liabilities owed to creditors of the corporation. Furthermore, under the NRS, it is not necessary to adopt provisions in the articles of incorporation limiting personal liability of directors as this limitation is provided by statute.

Finally, in Nevada, in order for a director or officer to be individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for damages as a result of any act or failure to act, it must be proven that the directors’ or officers’ act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and that the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

Thus, the NRS provides broader protection from personal liability for directors and officers than the DGCL.

Indemnification. The NRS and the DGCL each permit corporations to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents in similar circumstances, subject to the differences discussed below.

In suits that are not brought by or in the right of the corporation, both jurisdictions permit a corporation to indemnify current and former directors, officers, employees and agents for attorneys’ fees and other expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement that the person actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. The person seeking indemnity may recover as long as he or she acted in good faith and believed his or her actions were either in the best interests of or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Under the NRS, the person seeking indemnity may also be indemnified if he or she is not liable for breach of his or her fiduciary duties. Similarly, with respect to a criminal proceeding, the person seeking indemnification must not have had any reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

In derivative suits, a corporation in either jurisdiction may indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred. A corporation may not indemnify a person if the person was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court otherwise orders.

No corporation may indemnify a party unless it decides that indemnification is proper. Under the DGCL, the corporation through its stockholders, directors or independent legal counsel will determine that the conduct of the person seeking indemnity conformed with the statutory provisions governing indemnity. Under the NRS, the corporation through its stockholders, directors or independent counsel must only determine that the indemnification is proper.

Advancement of Expenses. Although the DGCL and NRS have substantially similar provisions regarding indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents, the NRS provides broader indemnification in connection with stockholder derivative lawsuits, in particular with respect to advancement of expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or other proceeding.

The DGCL provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. A Delaware corporation has the discretion to decide whether or not to advance expenses, unless its certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for mandatory advancement.

In contrast, under the NRS, the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the corporation must pay advancements of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Action by Written Consent of Directors. Both the DGCL and NRS provide that, unless the articles or certificate of incorporation or the bylaws provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing.

Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders. Both the DGCL and NRS provide that, unless the articles or certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if the holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of stockholders consent to the action in writing. In addition, the DGCL requires the corporation to give prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who did not consent in writing. There is no equivalent requirement under the NRS.

The NRS also permits a corporation to prohibit stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders by including such prohibition in its bylaws.

The Current Bylaws provide that any stockholders may act by written consent if such consent is signed by holders of not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The New Bylaws contain a substantially similar provision.

Dividends and Distributions. Delaware law is more restrictive than Nevada law with respect to dividend payments. Unless further restricted in the certificate of incorporation, the DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of either (i) surplus, or (ii) if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets). The DGCL defines surplus as the excess, at any time, of the net assets of a corporation over its stated capital. In addition, the DGCL provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only when the capital of the corporation is not impaired and only if such redemption or repurchase would not cause any impairment of the capital of the corporation.

The NRS provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or repurchases of, shares of capital stock) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or, (ii) except as otherwise specifically permitted by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to satisfy the preferential rights of preferred stockholders (the condition in this clause (ii), the “Balance Sheet Test”). Directors may consider financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices that are reasonable in the circumstances, a fair valuation, including but not limited to unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances. The New Charter does not, however, eliminate the Company’s compliance with the Balance Sheet Test with respect to any distribution.

To date, the Company has not paid dividends on its shares of common stock. The payment of dividends following the consummation of the Reincorporation, if any, will be within the discretion of the board of directors of the Surviving Company. Our Board (which will be the board of directors of the Surviving Company immediately following the Reincorporation) does not anticipate that the Surviving Company will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Restrictions on Business Combinations. Both Delaware and Nevada law provide certain protections to stockholders in connection with certain business combinations. These protections can be found in NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, and Section 203 of the DGCL.

Under Section 203 of the DGCL, certain “business combinations” with “interested stockholders” of the Company are subject to a three-year moratorium unless specified conditions are met. For purposes of Section 203, the term “business combination” is defined broadly to include (i) mergers with or caused by the interested stockholder; (ii) sales or other dispositions to the interested stockholder (except proportionately with the corporation’s other stockholders) of assets of the corporation or a subsidiary equal to 10% or more of the aggregate market value of either the corporation’s consolidated assets or its outstanding stock; (iii) the issuance or transfer by the corporation or a subsidiary of stock of the corporation or such subsidiary to the interested stockholder (except for transfers in a conversion or exchange or a pro rata distribution or certain other transactions, none of which increase the interested stockholder’s proportionate ownership of any class or series of the corporation’s or such subsidiary’s stock); or (iv) receipt by the interested stockholder (except proportionately as a stockholder), directly or indirectly, of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or a subsidiary.

The three-year moratorium imposed on business combinations by Section 203 of the DGCL does not apply if: (i) prior to the time on which such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder owns 85% of the corporation’s voting stock upon consummation of the transaction that made him or her an interested stockholder (excluding from the 85% calculation shares owned by directors who are also officers of the target corporation and shares held by employee stock plans that do not permit employees to decide confidentially whether to accept a tender or exchange offer); or (iii) at or after the time on which such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the board approves the business combination and it is also approved at a stockholder meeting by at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

In contrast, the NRS imposes a maximum moratorium of two years versus Delaware’s three-year moratorium on business combinations. However, NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, regulate combinations more stringently. First, an interested stockholder is defined as a beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power. Second, the two-year moratorium can be lifted only by advance approval by a corporation’s board of directors, as opposed to Delaware’s provision that allows interested stockholder combinations with stockholder approval at the time of such combination. Finally, after the two-year period, combinations remain prohibited unless (i) they are approved by the board of directors, the disinterested stockholders or 60% of the outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested party and its affiliates and associates or (ii) the interested stockholders satisfy certain fair value requirements. But note that these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder.

Companies are entitled to opt out of the business combination provisions of the DGCL and NRS. The Company has not opted out of the business combination provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In the New Charter, the Surviving Company does not opt out of the business combination provisions of NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive.

Acquisition of Controlling Interests. In addition to the restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders, Nevada law also protects the corporation and its stockholders from persons acquiring a “controlling interest” in a corporation. The provisions can be found in NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive. Delaware law does not have similar provisions.

Pursuant to NRS 78.379, any person who acquires a controlling interest in a corporation may not exercise voting rights on any control shares unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders of the issuing corporation at a special meeting of such stockholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. NRS 78.3785 provides that a “controlling interest” means the ownership of outstanding voting shares of an issuing corporation sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or in association with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise (i) one fifth or more but less than one third, (ii) one third or more but less than a majority or (iii) a majority or more of the voting power of the issuing corporation in the election of directors, and voting rights must be conferred by a majority of the disinterested stockholders as each threshold is reached and/or exceeded. In the event that the control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any stockholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights for the control shares is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of such person’s shares, and the corporation must comply with the demand.

NRS 78.378(1) provides that the control share statutes of the NRS do not apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an issuing corporation if the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by the acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified. In addition, NRS 78.3788 provides that the control share statutes of the NRS apply only to a corporation that has 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and which does business directly or indirectly in Nevada. NRS 78.378(2) provides that the corporation may impose stricter requirements if it so desires.

Stockholder Vote for Mergers and Other Corporate Reorganizations. Under the DGCL, unless the certificate or articles of incorporation specifies a higher percentage, the stockholders of a corporation that is being acquired in a merger or selling substantially all of its assets must authorize such merger or sale of assets by vote of an absolute majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote. The corporation’s board of directors must also approve such transaction.

Similarly, under the NRS, a merger or sale of all assets requires authorization by stockholders of the corporation being acquired or selling its assets by an absolute majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote, as well as approval of such corporation’s board of directors. However, it is not entirely clear under Nevada law if stockholder authorization is required for the sale of less than all of the assets of a corporation. Although a substantial body of case law has been developed in Delaware as to what constitutes the “sale of substantially all of the assets” of a corporation, it is difficult to determine the point at which a sale of virtually all, but less than all, of a corporation’s assets would be considered a “sale of all of the assets” of the corporation for purposes of Nevada law. It is likely that many sales of less than all of the assets of a corporation requiring stockholder authorization under Delaware law would not require stockholder authorization under Nevada law.

The DGCL and NRS have substantially similar provisions with respect to approval by stockholders of a surviving corporation in a merger. The DGCL does not require a stockholder vote of a constituent corporation in a merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation) if (i) the plan of merger does not amend the existing certificate of incorporation, (ii) each share of stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger is an identical outstanding share after the effective date of merger and (iii) either no shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized unissued shares or treasury shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger. The NRS does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger under substantially similar circumstances.

The Current Charter does not require a higher percentage to vote to approve certain corporate transactions. The New Charter also does not specify a higher percentage.

Appraisal or Dissenter’s Rights. In both jurisdictions, dissenting stockholders of a corporation engaged in certain major corporate transactions are entitled to appraisal rights. Appraisal rights permit a stockholder to receive cash equal to the fair market value of the stockholder’s shares (as determined by agreement of the parties or by a court) in lieu of the consideration such stockholder would otherwise receive in any such transaction.

Under Section 262 of the DGCL, appraisal rights are generally available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a Delaware corporation in a merger or consolidation, provided that no appraisal rights are available with respect to shares of any class or series of stock if, at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, such shares of stock, or depositary receipts in respect thereof, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders, unless the stockholders receive in exchange for their shares anything other than shares of stock of the surviving or resulting corporation (or depositary receipts in respect thereof), or of any other corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held by more than 2,000 holders of record, cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depositary receipts described above or any combination of the foregoing.

In addition, Section 262 of the DGCL allows beneficial owners of shares to file a petition for appraisal without the need to name a nominee holding such shares on behalf of such owner as a nominal plaintiff and makes it easier than under Nevada law to withdraw from the appraisal process and accept the terms offered in the merger or consolidation. Under the DGCL, no appraisal rights are available to stockholders of the surviving or resulting corporation if the merger did not require their approval.

The Current Charter and Current Bylaws do not provide for appraisal rights in addition to those provided by the DGCL. Therefore, because our common stock is listed on The NYSE American stock exchange, and holders of our common stock will receive in the Merger only shares of Surviving Company common stock, which will be listed on The NYSE American stock exchange, holders of our common stock will not be entitled to appraisal rights in the Merger with respect to their shares of our common stock.

Under the NRS, a stockholder is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for, the fair value of his or her shares in the event of (i) certain acquisitions of a controlling interest in the corporation, (ii) consummation of a plan of merger, if approval by the stockholders is required and the stockholder is entitled to vote on the merger or if the domestic corporation is a subsidiary and is merged with its parent, (iii) a plan of exchange in which the corporation is a party or (iv) any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders, if the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors provides that voting or nonvoting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

Holders of securities that are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in an organized market and held by at least 2,000 stockholders of record with a market value of at least $20,000,000 are generally not entitled to dissenter’s rights. However, this exception is not available if (i) the articles of incorporation of the corporation issuing the shares provide that such exception is not available, (ii) the resolution of the board of directors approving the plan of merger, conversion or exchange expressly provide otherwise or (iii) the holders of the class or series of stock are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept for the shares anything except cash, shares of stock as described in NRS 92A.390(3) or a combination thereof. The NRS prohibits a dissenting stockholder from voting his or her shares or receiving certain dividends or distributions after his or her dissent. Like the Current Charter and Current Bylaws, the New Charter and New Bylaws do not provide for dissenter’s rights in addition to those provided by the NRS.

The mechanics and timing procedures vary somewhat between Delaware and Nevada but both require technical compliance with specific notice and payment protocols.

Special Meetings of the Stockholders. The DGCL permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special stockholder meeting.

In contrast, the NRS permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the entire board of directors, any two directors or the President, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise.

Under the Current Bylaws, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the president of the Company, the Board of Directors, or by the record holders or holder of at least ten percent (10%) of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting. The New Bylaws contain a substantially similar provision.

Special Meetings Pursuant to Petition of Stockholders. The DGCL provides that a director or a stockholder of a corporation may apply to the Court of Chancery of Delaware if the corporation fails to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors or there is no written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the Special Meeting or, if there is no date designated, within 13 months after the last annual meeting.

Nevada law is more restrictive. Under the NRS, stockholders having not less than 15% of the voting interest may petition the district court to order a meeting for the election of directors if a corporation fails to call a meeting for that purpose within 18 months after the last meeting at which directors were elected.

Adjournment of Stockholder Special Meetings. Under the DGCL, if a meeting of stockholders is adjourned due to lack of a quorum and the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

In contrast, under the NRS, a corporation is not required to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or the meeting date is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the original meeting, in which case a new record date must be fixed and notice given.

Duration of Proxies. Under the DGCL, a proxy executed by a stockholder will remain valid for a period of three years, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Under the NRS, a proxy is effective only for a period of six months, unless it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which duration may not exceed seven years. The NRS also provides for irrevocable proxies, without limitation on duration, in limited circumstances.

Stockholder Inspection Rights. The DGCL grants any stockholder or beneficial owner of shares the right, upon written demand under oath stating the proper purpose thereof, either in person or by attorney or other agent, to inspect and make copies and extracts from a corporation’s stock ledger, list of stockholders and its other books and records for any proper purpose. A proper purpose is one reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder.

Inspection rights under Nevada law are more limited. The NRS grants any person who has been a stockholder of record of a corporation for at least six months immediately preceding the demand, or any person holding, or thereunto authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of all of its outstanding shares, upon at least five days’ written demand the right to inspect in person or by agent or attorney, during usual business hours (i) the articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto, (ii) the bylaws and all amendments thereto and (iii) a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them respectively. A Nevada corporation may require a stockholder to furnish the corporation with an affidavit that such inspection is for a proper purpose related to his or her interest as a stockholder of the corporation.

In addition, the NRS grants certain stockholders the right to inspect the books of account and records of a corporation for any proper purpose. The right to inspect the books of account and all financial records of a corporation, to make copies of records and to conduct an audit of such records is granted only to a stockholder who owns at least 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of a Nevada corporation, or who has been authorized in writing by the holders of at least 15% of such shares. However, these requirements do not apply to any corporation that furnishes to its stockholders a detailed, annual financial statement or any corporation that has filed during the preceding 12 months all reports required to be filed pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In addition, regular communications were maintained throughout the year among all of the officers and directors of the Company.

Board members are encouraged to attend the annual stockholder meeting but are not required to attend. The Company last held an annual meeting of stockholders on June 26, 2020, and five Board members were in attendance, either in person or telephonically.

Committees of the Board

Audit Committee

The Board has established a standing Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and then Section 803(B) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide as modified for smaller reporting companies by Section 801(h) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. The Audit Committee was established to oversee the Company’s corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements.

The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Herlin and Jolly. Mr. Herlin is chairman of the Audit Committee, each of whom meets the independence requirements under SEC Rule 10A-3(b)(1) and Section 802(a) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. The Board has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee are “financially literate” as interpreted by the Board in its business judgment. No members of the Audit Committee have been qualified as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in the applicable rules of the SEC, because the Board believes that the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company does not require expertise beyond financial literacy. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2020. 

The Audit Committee meets quarterly with our independent accountants and management to review the scope and results of the annual audit and to review our financial statements and related reporting matters prior to the submission of the financial statements to the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors at least on a quarterly basis to review and discuss the annual audit or quarterly review of our financial statements.

We have adopted an Audit Committee Charter that deals with the establishment of the Audit Committee and sets out its duties and responsibilities. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter on an annual basis. The Audit Committee Charter is available on our Company website at http://www.enservco.com.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVE AND ADOPT AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK

Background

On November 6, 2019 we received written notice (the “NYSE Notice”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. The NYSE American has determined that the continued listing of the Common Stock is predicated on us having a minimum price for the Common Stock. In order to become into compliance with the continued listing standards, we are seeking to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock. The NYSE American has informed us that we have until July, 2020 to demonstrate compliance.

Accordingly, our Board has approved proposed amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Certificate of Incorporation, that: would effect a share consolidation, or reverse stock split, of our outstanding Common Stock and Common Stock reserved for issuance, at an exchange ratio of not less than 1-for-10 (1:10) and not greater than 1-for-25 (1:25), as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board on the terms described in this proxy statement.

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock, which is currently 100,000,000 shares, will not be affected by the reverse stock split. The number of authorized shares of our preferred stock, which is currently 10,000,000 shares, will not be affected by the reverse stock split.

The effectiveness of the Amendment, and the implementation or abandonment of the reverse stock split, if approved, will be determined by our Board following the Annual Meeting. Our Board has recommended that the Amendment be presented to our stockholders for approval.

If our stockholders approve Proposal 3 amending our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to enact the reverse stock split, our Board will have the sole discretion to elect, as it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, whether to effect a reverse stock split and, if so, the number of shares of Common Stock within the stockholder-approved range (between 10 and 25 shares) which will be combined into one share of Common Stock. Our Board believes that stockholder approval of this range of reverse stock split ratios (as opposed to approval of a single reverse stock split ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of a reverse stock split and, therefore, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

If, following stockholder approval of this proposal, the Board determines that it is the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the reverse stock split, the Board would determine the reverse stock split ratio (within the approved range) and authorize the filing of the applicable amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting the reverse stock split.  The text of the form of amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement. However, such text is subject to amendment to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split of the Common Stock. 

If, following stockholder approval of this proposal, the Board elects to effect the proposed reverse stock split, then except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of outstanding Common Stock immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. The par value of the Common Stock would remain unchanged at $0.005 per share.

Our Board does not intend for the reverse stock split transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

NYSE American Requirement for Continued Listing 

Background:  As a direct result of the NYSE Notice, our Board’s primary objective in asking for authority to effect a reverse stock split is to increase the per-share trading price of the Common Stock on the NYSE American.

As a result of this NYSE Notice, the Board believes that it is no longer a mere option for our stockholders to approve a reverse stock split, but a financial necessity. The only way to help continue our listing on the NYSE American is to effect a stock split that would sufficiently raise the trading price for a sustained period to avoid NYSE American delisting.

Potential Adverse Effects of Delisting:  The Board has considered the potential harm to us of a delisting from NYSE American and believes that delisting from the NYSE American would materially and adversely affect us, including as follows: 

•             we would be forced to seek to be traded on a less recognized or accepted exchange or market such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets;”

•             the trading price of the Common Stock would be adversely affected, including an increased spread between the “bid” and “asked” prices quoted by market makers;

•             the liquidity and marketability of shares of the Common Stock would be adversely affected, thereby reducing the ability of holders of the Common Stock to purchase or sell our shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically (if our stock is traded as a “penny stock,” transactions in our Common Stock would be more difficult and cumbersome);

•             our ability to access capital on terms favorable to us (or at all) would be adversely affected, as companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or “pink sheets” are viewed as less attractive investments with materially higher associated risks, such that existing or prospective institutional investors may be less interested in, or prohibited from, investing in the Common Stock (which may also cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline);

•             our relationships with vendors and customers may be adversely affected, as they may perceive our business less favorably, which would have a detrimental effect on our relationships with these parties.

Further, if we are required to move our Common Stock listing to the OTC Bulletin Board, or “pink sheets,” we will no longer be deemed a “covered security” under Section 18 of the Securities Act, and as a result, we will lose our exemption from certain state securities regulations.  Among other things, this means that granting equity incentives to our employees will be more difficult.

---

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

If the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the actual reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a subsequent determination by the Board that the reverse stock split (with the actual reverse stock split exchange ratio to be determined by the Board within the stockholder-approved range, as described above) is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at the time. Such determination will be based upon many factors, including existing and expected marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions and the likely effect of the reverse stock split on the market price of the Common Stock.   Notwithstanding approval of the proposed reverse stock split by the stockholders, the Board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the Amendment and determine prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the Delaware Secretary of State not to effect the reverse stock split. If the Board fails to implement the reverse stock split after stockholder approval, further stockholder approval would thereafter be required prior to implement any reverse stock split.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Maintenance of Ownership Percentage: If the reverse stock split is approved and effected, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of Common Stock. This will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in a stockholder owning a fractional share, as described below. The number of stockholders of record would not be affected by the reverse stock split. 

Voting Rights:  Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock would not be affected by the reverse stock split, other than as a result of rounding up each fractional share amount to the next whole share amount, as described below. For example, a holder of 1% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split would continue to hold 1% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split, regardless of the exchange ratio chosen by the Board.

Equity Incentive Plans: All shares of the Common Stock subject to outstanding equity awards (including stock options and stock appreciation rights) under our 2016 Plan and our 2010 Plan (collectively, with the 2016 Plan, the “Plans”) and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plans but as to which no equity awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to respective Plan pools upon cancellation or expiration of such equity awards, will be converted on the effective date of the reverse stock split in proportion to the reverse split ratio of the reverse stock split (subject to adjustment for fractional interests). In addition, the exercise price of outstanding stock awards will be proportionately increased such that approximately the same aggregate price will be required to be paid after the reverse stock split as immediately preceding the reverse stock split. No fractional shares with respect to the shares subject to the outstanding equity awards (including stock options and stock appreciation rights) under our Plans will be issued following the reverse stock split. Therefore, if the number of shares subject to any outstanding equity awards under our Plans immediately before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible (in other words, it would result in a fractional interest following the reverse stock split), the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such equity award (including upon exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights) will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. This will result in an increase to the proportion of shares reserved for issuance under our Plans to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock following the reverse stock split.

As of May 5, 2020, there were options to purchase 1,460,667 shares outstanding, 926,666 options had been exercised pursuant to the 2016 Plan, and 1,395,833 Restricted Stock Award shares outstanding under the 2016 Plan. As of May 5, 2020, there were options to purchase 274,666 shares which remain outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

Summary Table Regarding the Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

The following table contains approximate information relating to the Common Stock based upon certain reverse stock split ratios within the range that has been submitted for stockholder approval, and based on share information as of May 5, 2020.   

	Pre-Reverse Split	Post-Split (1:10)	Post-Split (1:25)
Total Authorized Shares of Common Stock	100,000,000	100,000,000	100,000,000
Outstanding Shares of Common Stock	55,612,829	5,561,283	2,224,513
Treasury Stock	103,600	10,360	4,144
Outstanding Stock Options and Warrants	2,390,333	239,033	95,613

No fractional shares of the Common Stock will be issued in connection with the proposed reverse stock split. Holders of Common Stock who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Common stock pursuant to the reverse stock split will have their fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share amount, as explained more fully below.

The Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The reverse stock split would not affect the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act. After the reverse stock split, the Common Stock would continue to be reported on the NYSE American under the symbol “ENSV.”

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

If the reverse stock split is implemented, some stockholders may consequently own less than one hundred shares of the Common Stock. A purchase or sale of less than one hundred shares (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own less than one hundred shares following the reverse stock split may be required to pay modestly higher transaction costs should they then determine to sell their shares in the Company.

The effect of the reverse stock split upon the market prices for the Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted. However, there is a risk of decreases in stock price performance in the near-term trading period after effectiveness of the reverse stock split. In particular, there is no assurance that the price per share of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split will increase in a manner directly proportionate to our reverse stock split ratio so as to cause our market capitalization (and the value of our stockholders’ respective Common Stock holdings) to remain the same.  Further, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock immediately after the proposed reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Even if an increased share price can be maintained, the reverse stock split may not achieve the other desired results which have been outlined above. Moreover, because some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, there can be no assurance that approval of the reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of the Common Stock.

In addition, if the reverse stock split is implemented, we cannot assume nor conclude that the Common Stock will be more attractive to investors or that the liquidity of the Common Stock will increase since there would be a reduced number of shares outstanding after the reverse stock split.

Effective Date

If the proposed reverse stock split is approved at our Annual Meeting and the Board elects to proceed with a reverse stock split within the stockholder-approved range, the reverse stock split would become effective as of the filing (the “Effective Time”) of the applicable certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, at the Effective Time, all shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be, automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders, combined and converted into new shares of Common Stock in accordance with the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board (within the approved range). 

If the Board elects to effect a reverse stock split, before we file the amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, we intend to issue a press release announcing the terms, including the reverse stock split ratio, as well as the effective date of the reverse stock split.

20

---

Exchange of Stock Certificates

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, stockholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. Computershare will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal that will be delivered to our stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until the stockholder has surrendered to the exchange agent his, her or its outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY RECEIVE A TRANSMITTAL FORM FROM OUR EXCHANGE AGENT. STOCKHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PROMPTLY SURRENDER CERTIFICATES TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF TRANSMITTAL FORMS IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING SHARES POSSIBLY BECOMING SUBJECT TO ESCHEAT LAWS.

Stockholders whose shares are held by their stockbroker do not need to submit old share certificates for exchange. These shares will automatically reflect the new quantity of shares based on the selected reverse stock split ratio. Beginning on the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing pre-split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares.

Treatment of Fractional Shares

In lieu of any fractional shares to which a holder of the Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the reverse stock split, we shall round up each such fractional shares to the nearest whole share amount.  We expect that this will result in a slight increase in the overall number of shares outstanding after the split than if we were to elect payment of cash for fractional shares, but the effect on stockholders’ respective ownership percentages will be negligible. 

Discretionary Authority of the Board to Abandon the Reverse Stock Split

The Board reserves the right to abandon the reverse stock split without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the Amendment, even if the reverse stock split has been authorized by our stockholders. By voting in favor of the reverse stock split, you are expressly also authorizing our Board to determine not to proceed with, and abandon, the reverse stock split, if it should so decide.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders do not have a right to dissent and are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Amendment to effect the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following discussion is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split that may be relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Common Stock, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a U.S. Holder of the Common Stock. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the reverse stock split. 

This discussion is limited to U.S. Holders that hold the Common Stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the alternative minimum tax and the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

•         U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•         U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•         persons holding the Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

•         banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

•         real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

•         brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

22

---

•         corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•         partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

•         tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

•         persons deemed to sell the Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

•         persons holding the Common Stock as “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code;

•         persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the Common Stock being taken into account in an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in the Code);

•         persons who hold or receive the Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and

•         tax-qualified retirement plans.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding the Common Stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS OF THE COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of the Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following: 

•           an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•           a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•           an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•           a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The reverse stock split should constitute a tax-free “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. As a result, a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the reverse stock split. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of the Common Stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Common Stock surrendered, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the shares of the Common Stock received should include the holding period in the shares of the Common Stock surrendered. Treasury Regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of the Common Stock surrendered to the shares of the Common Stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split. U.S. Holders of shares of the Common Stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

Approval by the Stockholders of the Proposal

Approval of the proposal to approve and adopt the Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on such proposal.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMMON STOCK.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board is committed to sound and effective governance practices, which help us compete more effectively, sustain our success, and build long-term stockholder value. The Board reviews the Company's governance policies and business strategies, and advises and counsels the executive officers who manage the Company.

Meetings of the Board and Committees; Attendance at the Annual Meeting

The Board held four formal in-person or telephonic meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and acted by unanimous consent four times during 2019. The incumbent directors each attended 100% of the board meetings held during 2019. In addition, regular communications were maintained throughout the year among all of the officers and directors of the Company.

Board members are not required to attend the annual stockholder meeting. The Company last held an annual meeting of stockholders on June 3, 2019, and six Board members were in attendance, either in person or telephonically.

Committees of the Board

 

Audit Committee

The Board has established thea standing Audit Committee on May 29, 2013, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and then Section 803(B) of the NYSE MKT Rule 803(B)American LLC Company Guide as modified for smaller reporting companies by thenSection 801(h) of the NYSE MKT Rule 801(h).American LLC Company Guide. The Audit Committee was established to oversee the Company’s corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements.

 

The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Herlin and Jolly. Mr. Herlin is chairman of the Audit Committee. On May 1, 2017, andCommittee, each subsequent Audit Committee meeting thereafter,of whom meets the Board determined that Mr. Herlin and Mr. Jolly were independentindependence requirements under SEC Rule 10A-3(b)(1) and Section 802(a) of the NYSE American Rule 802(a).LLC Company Guide. The Board has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee are “financially literate” as interpreted by the Board in its business judgment. No members of the Audit Committee have been qualified as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in the applicable rules of the SEC, because the Board believes that the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company does not require expertise beyond financial literacy. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. 

 

The Audit Committee meets quarterly with our independent accountants and management to review the scope and results of the annual audit and to review our financial statements and related reporting matters prior to the submission of the financial statements to the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors at least on a quarterly basis to review and discuss the annual audit or quarterly review of our financial statements.

 

We have adopted an Audit Committee Charter that deals with the establishment of the Audit Committee and sets out its duties and responsibilities. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter on an annual basis. The Audit Committee Charter is available on our Company website at http://www.enservco.com.

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, with Enservco management. The Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T and has received written disclosures from the independent auditor required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee has discussed the independent auditor’s independence with representatives of the Company’s independent auditor. Based on that review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

No Nominating Committee

 

Enservco has not established a nominating committee. Under Section 804(a) of the NYSE American Rule 804(a),LLC Company Guide, if there is no nominating committee, nominations must be made by a majority of the independent directors. In accordance with this rule, the independent members of the Board are responsible for identifying and nominating appropriate persons to become members of the Board, as necessary. In identifying Board candidates, it is the Company'sCompany’s goal to identify persons who it believes have appropriate expertise and experience to contribute to the oversight of the Company, while also reviewing other appropriate factors. Enservco believes that this method of identifying, evaluating, and nominating members to join the Board is appropriate given Enservco'sEnservco’s status as a smaller reporting company for SEC purposes.

 

In order to comply with NYSE American rules, Enservco has adopted a nomination procedure in its Bylaws by which eligible stockholders may nominate a person to the Board. Such procedure was amended by the Board on March 16, 2015. That procedure is as follows: 

 

Enservco will consider all recommendations from any person (or group) who holds and has (or collectively if a group have) held more than 5% of Enservco’s voting securities for longer than one year. Any stockholder who desires to submit a nomination of a person to stand for election of directors at the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected must submit a notification of the stockholder’s intention to make a nomination (“Notification”) to Enservco’s corporate secretary by the date mentioned in the most recent proxy statement or information statement under the heading “Proposal From Stockholders” as such date may be amended in cases where the annual meeting has been changed as contemplated in SEC Rule 14a-8(e), Question 5, and in that notification must provide the following additional information to Enservco:

 

Name, address, telephone number and other methods by which Enservco can contact the stockholder submitting the Notification and the total number of shares beneficially owned by the stockholder (as the term “beneficial ownership” is defined in SEC Rule 13d-3);

 

If the stockholder owns shares of Enservco’s Common Stock other than on the records of Enservco, the stockholder must provide evidence that he or she owns such shares (which evidence may include a current statement from a brokerage house or other appropriate documentation);

 

Information from the stockholder regarding any intentions that he or she may have to attempt to make a change of control or to influence the direction of Enservco, and other information regarding the stockholder any other persons associated with the stockholder that would be required under Items 4 and 5 of SEC Schedule 14A were the stockholder or other persons associated with the stockholder making a solicitation subject to SEC Rule 14a-12(c);

Name, address, telephone number and other contact information of the proposed nominee; and

 

All information required by Item 7 of SEC Schedule 14A with respect to the proposed nominee, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Enservco.

If Proposal No. 2 is approved and the Company consummates the Reincorporation, the New Bylaws will become the Company’s bylaws and the New Bylaws have substantially similar provisions as those set forth above with respect to stockholder proposals and nominations.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Board has established thea standing Compensation Committee in November, 2017.Committee. The Board has appointed Messrs. Jolly Herlin, and MurphyHerlin to the Compensation Committee, each of whom the Board has determined is independent pursuant to the independence tests under the NYSE American Company LLC Guide. The Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing and approving the terms and structure of the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee held three meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Pursuant to the NYSE American rules,LLC Company Guide, the independent members of Enservco'sEnservco’s Board determine the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that this is appropriate given that Enservco is a smaller reporting company and these compensation decisions are made by the independent directors. The process and procedures for establishing executive compensation are discussed in the "Executive Compensation"“Executive Compensation” and "Compensation“Compensation of Directors"Directors” sections located elsewhere in this proxy statement.Proxy Statement.

 

We have adopted a Compensation Committee Charter that provides for the establishment of the Compensation Committee and sets out its duties and responsibilities.

Board Leadership Structure

 

The Board does not have an express policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Board ChairmanChair as the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board. The Board has not designated a lead independent director. The roles of Chief Executive Officer and ChairmanChair are presently separated,combined, and Richard A. Murphy serves as the ChairmanExecutive Chair of the Board.Board and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Board’sBoard’s Role and the Role of the Audit Committee in Risk Oversight

While management is charged with the day-to-day management of risks that Enservco faces, the Board and Audit Committee are responsible for oversight of risk management. The Board and the Audit Committee have responsibility for general oversight of risks facing the Company. Specifically, the Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of Enservco’s risk management policies and procedures with regard to identification of Enservco’s principal risks, both financial and non-financial, and review updates on these risks from our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. The Audit Committee also reviews and assess the adequacy of the implementation of appropriate systems to mitigate and manage the principal risks.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company utilizes the definition of “independent director” as it is set forth in Section 803A(2) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. Further, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in its determination of independence of all members of the Board (including any relationships). Based on the foregoing criteria, Messrs. Behrens, Haymons, Herlin Jolly, and MurphyJolly are considered independent directors and have been confirmed as such by the Board.

 

Further information regarding enhanced independence standards applicable to directors who serve on the Company'sCompany’s Audit Committee, and directors who participate in the determination of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, can be found in the Corporate Governance section elsewhere in this proxy statement,Proxy Statement, under the headings "Audit Committee"“Audit Committee” and "No Compensation Committee".“Compensation Committee.”

 

Board of Directors – Composition, Qualifications and Attributes;Attributes; Board Diversity

 

The Company’s Board seeks to ensure that it is composed of members whose particular experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, when taken together, will allow the Board to satisfy its oversight obligations effectively. The Company does not currently have a separate nominating (or similar) committee, and as further discussed above, given the Company’s small size, the Company does not yet believe such a committee is necessary. However, as the Company grows, it may consider establishing a separate nominating committee.

 

Under Section 804(a), the NYSE American LLC Company Guide, 804(a), if there is no nominating committee, nominations must be made by a majority of the independent directors. In accordance with this rule, the independent members of the Board are responsible for identifying and appointing appropriate persons to become members of the Board, as necessary. In identifying Board candidates, it is the Company'sCompany’s goal to identify persons who it believes have appropriate expertise and experience to contribute to the oversight of the Company, while also reviewing other appropriate factors. Enservco believes that this method of identifying, evaluating, and nominating members to join the Board is appropriate given Enservco'sEnservco’s status as a smaller reporting company.

 

The Board does not have a formal diversity policy. The Board considers candidates that will make the Board as a whole reflective of a range of talents, skills, diversity, and experience.

 

Related Party Transactions Policy and Procedures

 

The Board has adopted a written policy that establishes a framework for the review and approval or ratification of transactions between the Company and its related parties and/or their respective affiliated entities. We refer to this policy as our "Related“Related Party Transactions Policy"Policy”. The Related Party Transactions Policy is available on our website at www.enservco.com.

 

Pursuant to this policy, "Related Parties"“Related Parties” includes our executive officers and directors, any nominee for director, beneficial owners of 5% or greater of the Company'sCompany’s voting securities, and the immediate family members any of the foregoing persons.

any transaction or relationship directly or indirectly involving a Related Party that would need to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K;

any material amendment or modification to an existing Related Party Transaction; and

any transaction deemed by the directors or the Company'sCompany’s legal counsel to be a Related Party Transaction.

 

Under the Related Party Transactions Policy, Related Party Transactions are prohibited, unless approved or ratified by the disinterested directors of the Company.

The disinterested directors may not approve or ratify a Related Party Transaction unless they have determined that upon consideration of all relevant information, the proposed Related Party Transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

The following sets forth information regarding transactions between the Company (and its subsidiaries) and its officers, directors, nominees, and significant stockholders since January 1, 20182019 or otherwise outstanding as of the Record Date.

 

Subordinated Loan Agreement entered intoTransactions with Cross River Partners, L.P.

On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with Cross River Partners, L.P., ("Cross River"), which documents the Company’s obligations to Cross River with respect to the financial accommodations made to the Company by Cross River in connection with the Tenth Amendment to the Company Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank. In connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, on June 28, 2017, the Company delivered two subordinated promissory notes to Cross River in the amounts of $1 million and $1.5 million, respectively (each a “Note”, collectively, the “Notes” and, together with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the “Subordinated Loan Documents”). The Notes each have a maturity date of June 28, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 10.0%.

On August 10, 2017, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with East West Bank (the "2017 Credit Agreement"), which replaced the 2014 Credit Agreement. In relation to the 2017 Credit Agreement, on August 7, 2017, Cross River entered into a subordination agreement with East West Bank. The Company began making quarterly payments of accrued interest under each Note on July 1, 2017 and will continue making such interest only payments until all of the Company’s obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement have been satisfied. Once all of the Company’s obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement have been satisfied, the Company will begin making quarterly payments of principal (based on an amortization schedule of 10 years) plus interest until the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, all amounts still outstanding under the Notes will become due and payable. The Company has the right to prepay the outstanding balance of all principal and interest of either or both Notes, in whole, subject to a prepayment penalty equal to the total interest that would have been due and payable on the next two quarterly payments following such prepayment.

In connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, on June 28, 2017, the Company issued Cross River two five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to buy an aggregate total of 1,612,902 shares of the  Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 day period ended May 11, 2017. These warrants were exercised on June 29, 2018. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $500,000 were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance.

 

On November 11, 2019, Enservco and Cross River Partners, L.P.

The executive’s current salary, the appropriate balance between incentives for long-term and short-term performance.

 

Company management is responsible for reviewing the base salary, annual bonus and long-term compensation levels for other Company employees, and the Company expects this practice to continue going forward. The entire Board remains responsible for significant changes to, or adoption, of new employee benefit plans.

 

The Company believes that the compensation environment for qualified professionals in the industry in which we operate is competitive. In order to compete in this environment, the compensation of our executive officers is primarily comprised of the following four components:

 

■ Base salary;

■ Annual short-term incentive plan compensation (cash bonus awards);

■ Long-term incentive compensation (equity awards); and

■ Other employment benefits.

 

Base Salary

 

Base salary, paid in cash, is the first element of compensation to our officers.In determining base salaries for our key executive officers, the Company aims to set base salaries at a level we believe enables us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and to reward individual performance and contribution to our overall business goals. The Board believes that base salary should be relatively stable over time, providing the executive a dependable, minimum level of compensation, which is approximately equivalent to compensation that may be paid by competitors for persons of similar abilities. The Board believes that base salaries for our executive officers are appropriate for persons serving as executive officers of public companies similar in size and complexity similar to the Company.

 

The Company’s named executive officers (being Messrs. Dickinson and Hargrave) receivehave received base salaries in accordance with the terms of their respective employment agreements (which are described below).

 

Cash Bonuses

 

Historically, discretionary cash bonuses were another element of our compensation plan. These discretionary cash bonuses provided executive officers and other employees with the potential to receive a portion of their annual cash compensation as a cash bonus in order to encourage performance to achieve key corporate objectives and to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint. We did not establish a set formula for determining or awarding discretionary cash bonuses to our other executives or employees. In determining whether to award bonuses and the amount of any bonuses, we have taken and expect to continue to take into consideration discretionary factors such as the individual’s current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities, retention considerations, and the total compensation package, as well as the Company’s overall performance including cash flow and other operational factors.

 

In 2018, we adopted the 2018 Short Term Incentive Plan (“2018 STIP”) in order to motivate and reward our named executive officers for meeting or exceeding corporate performance goals. Under the 2018 STIP, the Compensation Committee set target opportunities of 100% of base salary for our CEO, and 70% of base salary for our CFO and COO. The Compensation Committee also determined that 60% of the total cash incentive bonus for each named executive officer should be based on the Company’s attainment of a threshold ratio of EBITDA to debt, 20% should be based on the Company’s achievement of certain safety goals, and 20% should be discretionary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in each case subject to the Compensation Committee’s further adjustment in order to realign with corporate goals.

 

In reviewing the performance of the Company for 2019, the Compensation Committee determined that cash bonus awards would not be paid out for 2019. This determination was based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of corporate objectives during 2019.

Equity-Based CompensationCompensation

 

Each of the Company’s executive officers are eligible to be granted awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans. The Company believes that equity-based compensation helps align management and executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Our equity incentives are also intended to reward the attainment of long-term corporate objectives by our executives. We also believe that grants of equity-based compensation are necessary to enable us to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint. At the present time, we have one active equity incentive plan for our management and employees, the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"“2016 Plan”), and one dormant equity incentive plan for our management and employees, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"“2010 Plan”), pursuant to which there are still outstanding awards.

 

Historically, in determining whether to grant awards and the amount of any awards, the Company took into consideration discretionary factors such as the individual’s current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities, retention considerations, and the total compensation package. In 2018, the Company adopted the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 LTIP)LTIP”), which is intended to balance the short-term orientation of other compensation elements, further align management and shareholder interests, focus named executive officers on achievement of long-term results, and retain executive talent. The Company’s named executive officers and senior managers arehave been eligible to receive awards under the 2018 LTIP. All awards granted under the 2018 LTIP arehave been made pursuant to the 2016 Plan. Awards granted during 2019 under the 2018 LTIP contain the following terms: (i) 60% shall vest upon the Common Stock achieving a 90-day moving average price of at least $1.85$27.75 per share and (ii) 40% shall vest upon the Company achieving a ratio of trailing twelve-month debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.50 to 1.0. AwardsNo awards were granted in 2018during 2020 under the 2018 LTIP contain the following terms: (i) 60% shall vest upon the Common Stock achieving a 90-day moving average price of at least $2.25 per share and (ii) 40% shall vest upon the Company achieving a ratio of trailing twelve-month debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.50 to 1.0. LTIP.

 

The Company has granted restricted stock and stock optionsequity-based compensation to each of itsnamed executive officers as described abovebelow under the captions “Employment Agreements” and “Grants and Forfeitures of Equity Awards,” and as reflected in the table entitled “Security Ownership of Management, Directors, and Certain Beneficial Owners” and below in the table entitled “Stock Options, Stock“Outstanding Equity Awards and Equity Incentive Plans.at Fiscal Year-End.”

Other Compensation/Benefits

 

Another element of the overall compensation is through providing our executive officers various employment benefits, such as the payment of health and life insurance premiums on behalf of the executive officers. Our executive officers are also eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan on the same basis as other employees and the Company historically has made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan, including for the benefit of our executive officers. In April 2020, the Company ceased all matching to all employees including officers of its 401k plan.

 

Declared Discretionary Bonuses

 

As indicated above, during 2019, the Board did not award any discretionary bonuses to the named executive officers.

Risks of Compensation ProgramsCOMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

 

The Company’s equity-based compensation is performance-based in that the issued stock options become valuable as the stockholders’ returns (measured by stock price) increase. Furthermore, in all cases, options granted to the Company’s employees include time-based vesting. The Company believes that this vesting, coupled with the internal controls and oversight of the risk elements of its business, have minimized the possibility that the compensation programs and practices will have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial, and operational, performance.
