FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.
 
SECOND: Effective as of 4:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 9, 2020 (the “Effective Time”) and pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), each 20 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Split”). No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, own a number of shares of common stock which is not evenly divisible by the exchange ratio shall, with respect to such fractional interest, be entitled to receive a cash payment from the Corporation in lieu of fractions of shares of common stock from the disposition of such fractional interest.

Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of common stock (“Old Certificates”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of common stock into which the shares of common stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.
