On February 28, 2024, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board increased the size of the Board from seven to eight directors by appointing Danielle Hunter to the Board, effective immediately. The Board designated Ms. Hunter as a Class II Director to serve until the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or her earlier resignation, retirement or other termination of service. Based upon information requested from and provided by Ms. Hunter concerning her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board determined that Ms. Hunter does not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that Ms. Hunter is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. There are no family relationships between Ms. Hunter and any director or executive officer of the Company, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Hunter and any other persons pursuant to which she was appointed as a director of the Company.

Ms. Hunter has been appointed as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective as of February 28, 2024.

Ms. Hunter will receive the standard non-employee director compensation for her service as a director. For a full description of the compensation program for the Company’s non-employee directors, please see the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed on March 28, 2023.
