Due to current and uncertain market conditions, and the reorganization of Gulf Drilling and Maintenance Co. ("GDMC"), the Company announces that that GDMC has exercised its option for early termination of the Exclusivity Agreement between the Company and GDMC (originally announced December 6, 2017) for exclusive use of Wavefront's Powerwave technology in the State of Kuwait. GDMC has asked the Company to consider entering into a Non-Exclusive Agreement whereby Wavefront would be paid for tool rental and other services on a per use basis.
"While we are disappointed that GDMC has exercised its early termination option we understand the totality of the difficulties GDMC are addressing," said Wavefront President and CEO, Brett Davidson. "Wavefront technology has a very positive track record with Kuwait's National Oil Company ("NOC"). The Company will focus on broadening the use of Wavefront technology with the NOC not only through GDMC but also through other established service providers with the objectives of reducing customer reliance risk, increasing potential market penetration and technology adaptation," said Davidson.
