Emerge Energy Services LP Announces Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Notice of Late Filing

Southlake, Texas - November 20, 2015 - Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE: EMES) (the "Partnership") today announced that it has entered into the second amendment (the "Amendment") to the revolving credit and security agreement, dated as of July 27, 2014 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Partnership, the subsidiary borrowers, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.

The Amendment temporarily suspends certain financial ratio covenants under the Credit Agreement, restricts the Partnership from entering into certain transactions and requires that its operating results meet certain performance thresholds during the suspension period. The executed Amendment and a description thereof are included in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2015 (the "Quarterly Report"), which has been filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Partnership also announced today that on November 17, 2015, it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") advising that the procedures in Section 802.01E of the Listed Company Manual are applicable to the Partnership as a result of its failure to file with the SEC the Quarterly Report by November 9, 2015, the date on which it was required to have been filed under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The NYSE informed the Partnership that, under the NYSE's rules, the Partnership had six months from November 9, 2015 to file the Quarterly Report with the SEC in order to cure the noncompliance with the NYSE's requirement to timely file all annual and quarterly reports.

As previously disclosed by the Partnership in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC, the Partnership was unable to timely file the Quarterly Report because of the significant amount of management time required in negotiating the Amendment, the terms of which were expected to materially affect the financial statements and disclosures presented in the Quarterly Report. Having since entered into the Amendment and filed the Quarterly Report, the Partnership believes it is now in compliance with the NYSE's listing standards.
