The following information is being reported pursuant to Section 5.02(e) of Form 8-K:
As previously reported in March 2020 and in light of marketplace conditions, the named executive officers of Liberty Oilfield Services Inc.

These reductions were approved by both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
On April 21, 2020, at the request of the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved a further reduction of 50% from the Revised Reduced Salaries amounts for the months of May, June and July of 2020. Beginning in August 2020, the salaries of the named executive officers will, absent further action by the Compensation Committee and Board, revert to 100% of the Revised Reduced Salary amount.
