| • | Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-262527), which was filed by CSI Compressco with the SEC on February 4, 2022, registering an additional 582,746 Common Units in CSI Compressco under the CSI Compressco LP Second Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan. |
| • | Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-228675), which was filed by CSI Compressco with the SEC on December 4, 2018, registering 3,850,000 Common Units in CSI Compressco under the CSI Compressco LP Second Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan. |

Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 19, 2023, by and among Kodiak Gas Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Kodiak, Kick Stock Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Kick GP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Kick LP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CSI Compressco, and CSI Compressco GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger Agreement”).
On April 1, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Kodiak has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertakings made by CSI Compressco in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offerings, Kodiak hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such securities and Kodiak hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
After the Closing on April 1, 2024, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, CSI Compressco merged with and into Kodiak (the “Post-Closing Merger”). At the effective time of the Post-Closing Merger, the separate existence of CSI Compressco ceased, and Kodiak survived the Post-Closing Merger as a direct subsidiary of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc.
