ITEM 5.02 Changes to the Cash Bonus Incentive Plan.

Key Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) established a cash bonus incentive compensation program during 2016 for certain employees, including the Company’s named executive officers (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan was described under the heading “Cash Bonus Incentive Plan” within the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2016. One of the performance metrics that was originally designed for the plan was Key Value Added, or “KVA.” On September 14, 2016, the Company modified the Bonus Plan to replace KVA with a new performance metric, gross cash earnings (“GCE”). Due to recent events at the Company, the Company determined that the calculation of KVA was no longer a viable performance measure for the Bonus Plan, and replacing it with the GCE metric would emphasize the Company’s business goals of focusing on cash management, seeking revenue growth and reducing expenses. Other than the replacement of KVA with GCE, all other metrics and targets remain the same for the Bonus Plan.
