Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 17, 2013, Flotek Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2013 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Effective as of the Annual Meeting, Richard O. Wilson retired from the Company's board of directors (the “Board”). Mr. Wilson was first appointed to the Board in 2003. Over Mr. Wilson's many years of service to the Board, the Company has benefited greatly from his wisdom, experience and dedication to the Company. The Company thanks Mr. Wilson for his 10 years of insightful and dedicated service to the Company. In connection with Mr. Wilson's retirement and in consideration of his exemplary service, the Company accelerated the vesting of 10,583 shares of restricted common stock held by Mr. Wilson, effective upon his retirement.

At the meeting of the Board in connection with the Annual Meeting, the Board approved increasing the size of the Board from five directors to six directors and unanimously appointed Carla S. Hardy to serve as a director of the Company. Ms. Hardy, 47, formerly served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Florida Chemical Company, Inc. (“FCC”), a leading manufacturer and supplier of citrus oils to global markets, from 2006 until the Company's acquisition of FCC on May 10, 2013. Ms. Hardy was instrumental in the significant growth, diversification and technological advancement associated with FCC. Ms. Hardy graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Communications from the University of Central Florida.

In connection with Ms. Hardy's appointment to the Board, she will be compensated in accordance with the Company's customary compensation practices for non-employee directors as disclosed on the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement as filed with the SEC on April 10, 2013, including a grant of shares of restricted common stock.
