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

On April 27, 2015, Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Stephen C. Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement modifies Mr. Taylor’s Employment Agreement which was entered into on October 23, 2013 (the “Prior Agreement”).
The purpose of the amendment was to replace the “modified single trigger” provision with respect to a change of control with a “double trigger” provision.
Under the Prior Agreement, upon a change of control of the Company, Mr. Taylor could terminate his agreement and receive severance for any reason whatsoever. Under the Amended Agreement, Mr. Taylor will only receive severance if, in connection with a change in control, his employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason (as each of those terms is defined in the Amended Agreement).
