Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 25, 2025, Civeo Corporation (“Civeo”) entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Engine Capital LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Engine Capital”).

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Civeo agreed to appoint (i) Jeffrey B. Scofield to the Board of Directors of Civeo (the “Board”) as a Class I director, with an initial term expiring at Civeo’s 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”), and (ii) Daniel B. Silvers to the Board as a Class III director, with an initial term expiring at Civeo’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). Civeo also agreed to nominate Mr. Silvers as a director for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting, with a term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting. The Cooperation Agreement provides for customary director replacement procedures in the event that Mr. Silvers ceases to serve as a director under certain circumstances as specified in the Cooperation Agreement.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Civeo also agreed to appoint Mr. Scofield to the Audit Committee and the Finance and Investment Committee of the Board and Mr. Silvers to the Compensation Committee and the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board.

The Cooperation Agreement contains certain customary standstill restrictions, voting commitments, expense reimbursement and other provisions, such as a mutual non-disparagement provision, which will remain in effect until the date that is the earlier of (i) 30 days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder director nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting and (ii) 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting, subject to extension in the event the Company irrevocably offers to re-nominate Mr. Silvers at the 2027 Annual Meeting and Engine Capital accepts such offer (the “Termination Date”). Civeo agreed that the Board’s size shall be no greater than nine members without Engine Capital’s written consent from the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting until the Termination Date.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 25, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Scofield to the Board as a Class I director, with an initial term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting, and Mr. Silvers to the Board as a Class III director, with an initial term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting. In connection with Mr. Scofield’s and Mr. Silvers’ appointments, the Board increased the size of the Board from nine to eleven members.

The Board has also appointed Mr. Scofield to the Audit Committee and the Finance and Investment Committee and Mr. Silvers to the Compensation Committee and the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee.




Each of Messrs. Scofield and Silvers will receive an annual retainer of $75,000 for their service on the Board and, commencing at Civeo’s next annual shareholders’ meeting, annual restricted share awards valued at $125,000 based on the closing share price of Civeo’s common shares on the applicable grant date.

In addition, upon their appointment, the Board agreed to grant each of Messrs. Scofield and Silvers restricted share awards valued at $125,000 based on the closing share price of Civeo’s common shares on November 26, 2025, which shall be the grant date.

Civeo intends to enter into its form of director and executive officer indemnification agreement with each of Mr. Scofield and Mr. Silvers, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K12B filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2015.

Except for the Cooperation Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, there are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Scofield or Mr. Silvers were appointed to the Board. Messrs. Scofield and Silvers are not party to any transaction, or series of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

(ii)satisfies customary director nomination and onboarding procedures that are consistent with the Board’s past practice with all directors sitting on the Board, and
(iii)meets all director independence and other standards of any applicable stock exchange (including the New York Stock Exchange), the Exchange Act, the SEC, and any applicable Canadian securities laws to serve as a director of the Company,
in which case the Board will appoint the individual as a director of the Company (and as a member of each committee of which the replacement director’s predecessor was a member immediately prior to the conclusion of the predecessor’s membership on the Board to serve for the remainder of the term of the predecessor director; provided that the replacement director is qualified to serve on such committee); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a replacement director will not be a director, officer, employee or Affiliate or Associate of the Engine Group.
