Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 9, 2021, Cactus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), certain selling stockholders of the Company named in Schedule I thereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), providing for the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders (the “Offering”) of up to 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). In addition, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 825,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that may be issued and sold to cover overallotments, if any, at a price to the underwriters of $30.555 per share (the “Over Allotment Option”). On March 10, 2021, the Underwriters advised the Company that they had exercised the Over Allotment Option in full.
As described in the prospectus supplement dated March 9, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 10, 2021, in connection with the Offering, certain Selling Stockholders who own common units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus LLC (“CW Units”) will exercise their right to redeem (the “Redemption Right”) 6,272,500 CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of the Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), as provided in the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus LLC (the “Cactus LLC Agreement”). Upon the closing of the Offering, the Company expects to acquire the redeemed CW Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock (which shares of Class B Common Stock will then be cancelled) and issue 6,272,500 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Underwriters at the direction of the redeeming Selling Stockholders, as provided in the Cactus LLC Agreement. In addition, certain other Selling Stockholders expect to sell 52,500 shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering, which shares are owned by them on the date hereof.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company, Cactus LLC and the Selling Stockholders each have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.
The Offering is expected to close on March 12, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. Neither the Company nor Cactus LLC will receive any of the net proceeds from the Offering.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

1.Representations and Warranties of the Cactus Parties. The Cactus Parties represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.
(a)The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has prepared and filed with the SEC the Registration Statement, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Securities Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”), became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with the SEC, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the SEC a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b) after the Execution Time. As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Securities Act, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act. The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time. The Company has not received from the SEC any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Issuer has not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration form.
(b)(i) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and each Delivery Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof), the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act; on each Effective Date, at the Execution Time and on the Closing Date and each Delivery Date, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and each Delivery Date, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Cactus Parties make no representations or
3
warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through any Representative specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 10(c) hereof (“Underwriter Information”) or (ii) the information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of a Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by a Selling Stockholder consists of the information described as such in Section 2(h) hereof (“Selling Stockholder Information”).
(ii) The documents incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement and the Disclosure Package, when they were filed with the SEC, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Disclosure Package, when such documents become effective or are filed with the SEC, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c)(i) The Disclosure Package, (ii) each electronic road show, when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, and (iii) any individual Written Testing-the-Waters Communication (as defined herein), when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information or Selling Stockholder Information.
(d)(i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163 under the Securities Act, and (iv) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to pay the fees required by the SEC relating to the Securities within the time

The Company reconfirms that the Representatives and their respective affiliates, on behalf of the Underwriters, have been authorized to act on its behalf in undertaking Testing-the-Waters Communications. The Company has not distributed any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications other than those listed in Schedule VI hereto. “Written Testing-the-Waters Communication” means any Testing-the-Waters Communication that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 405.
(h)No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein by reference and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

(j)The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the SEC or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”); provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule V hereto and any electronic road show.

(k)[Reserved].
(l)If at any time following the distribution of any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any event occurs as a result of which such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that use of the Written Testing-the-Waters Communication may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Written Testing-the-Waters Communication to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Representatives in such quantities as may be reasonably requested.

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company and each Selling Stockholder in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

9.Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 8 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 12 hereof (other than termination resulting from the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (i)(B), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 12), or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. If the Company is required to make any payments to the Underwriters under this Section 9 solely because of a Selling Stockholder’s refusal, inability or failure to satisfy any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 8, then such Selling Stockholder shall reimburse the Company on demand for all amounts so paid or to be paid, and to the extent such payments are required to be made to the Underwriters as a result of more than one Selling Stockholder’s refusal, inability or failure to satisfy any such condition then such Selling Stockholders shall reimburse the
27
Company pro rata based on the relevant number of Securities to be sold for all such amounts so paid or to be paid.
10.Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)The Cactus Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and each Selling Stockholder, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A, Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Securities Act, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act), or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Cactus Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or Cactus LLC may otherwise have.
(b)Each Selling Stockholder severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Agreement, the only such information so furnished by such Selling Stockholder consists of such Selling Stockholders’ Selling Stockholder Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.
(c)Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Cactus Parties and each of their respective directors, each of the Company’s officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each
28
Selling Stockholder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through any Representative specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. Each of the Cactus Parties and the Selling Stockholders acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting,” (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(d)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (which, if the Cactus Parties or any Selling Stockholder are the indemnifying parties, shall be limited to one such separate counsel for any Underwriter with similar claims and similar defenses, together with all persons who control such Underwriters) if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written
29
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e)In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Cactus Parties, jointly and severally, the Selling Stockholders, and the Underwriters, severally, agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company, one or more of the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Cactus Parties, by the Selling Stockholders and by the Underwriters from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Cactus Parties, jointly and severally, the Selling Stockholders, severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Cactus Parties, of the Selling Stockholders and of the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Cactus Parties and by the Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholders, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company, Cactus LLC or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, Cactus LLC, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), in no event shall any Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the
30
Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
(f)The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 2 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate amount of proceeds received after underwriting commissions and discounts but before expenses by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of its Securities to the Underwriters. The Cactus Parties and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible.
11.Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 11, the Closing Date or applicable Delivery Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Stockholders and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
12.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) (A) trading in the Company’s Class A Common Stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or NYSE or (B) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii) there
31
shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
13.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Cactus Parties or their respective officers or directors, of each Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Cactus Parties or any Selling Stockholder or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
14.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel, facsimile number: +1 (646) 291-1469 and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD; if sent to the Company or Cactus LLC, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to 920 Memorial City Way, Suite 300, Houston, TX 77024, facsimile number: 888-397-4540, Attention: Scott Bender; if sent to the Selling Stockholders, other than Cadent, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to 920 Memorial City Way, Suite 300, Houston, TX 77024, facsimile number: 888-397-4540, Attention: Scott Bender; or, if sent to Cadent, will be mailed or delivered to 800 Westchester Avenue, Suite 641N, Rye Brook, NY 10573.
15.Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Cactus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed offering and sale (the “Offering”) by certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) of up to 6,325,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of the Company, including up to 825,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued and sold upon exercise by the Underwriters (as defined below) of their option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated March 9, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the Selling Stockholders and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement consist of up to (a) 6,272,500 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Redemption Common Stock”) that are to be issued directly to the Underwriters in exchange for an equivalent number of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus LLC, together with a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as provided in the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Cactus LLC Agreement”) of Cactus LLC and (b) 52,500 previously issued shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Resale Common Stock”) held by certain of the Selling Stockholders.
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined, among other things: (i) the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-230328) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) the prospectus included in the Registration Statement dated March 15, 2019 (the “Base Prospectus”), (iii) the prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus dated March 9, 2021, filed with the Commission on March 10, 2021 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”); (iv) the Underwriting Agreement; (v) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; (vi) the Cactus LLC Agreement; and (vii) the Company’s records and documents, certificates of representatives of the Company and public officials, and other instruments and documents as we deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, and as to factual matters arising in connection with our examination of corporate documents, records
| Cactus, Inc. | - 2 - | March 11, 2021 | ||||||
and other documents and writings, we relied upon certificates and other communications of corporate officers of the Company, without further investigation as to the facts set forth therein.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations, and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that
a.the Resale Common Stock has been duly authorized and is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and
b.the Redemption Common Stock has been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Cactus LLC Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution), in each case as in effect on the date hereof, and applicable reported judicial decisions, rules and regulations interpreting and implementing those laws. We express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction, domestic or foreign.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion of counsel as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated on or about the date hereof, to the incorporation by reference of this opinion into the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
The opinion expressed herein is given as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligations to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after such date or if we become aware of any facts that might change the opinion expressed herein after such date or for any other reason.
