Compensation of Named Executive Officers

U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-175636), which became effective on January 31, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), and filed the related final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) on February 2, 2012. The summary compensation table for the 2011 fiscal year that was included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus did not reflect 2011 non-equity incentive plan compensation under the Company’s performance-based cash incentive plan because these amounts were not calculable on the Effective Date.

On February 29, 2012, the non-equity incentive plan compensation earned in 2011 by the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) became calculable. The non-equity incentive plan compensation and total compensation for fiscal 2011, respectively, for the Company’s NEOs was as follows: Brian Slobodow, $235,000 and $1,929,420; William A. White, $140,000 and $399,681; Michael L. Winkler, $130,000 and $770,400; R. Dale Lynch, $82,500 and $722,950; and Bradford B. Casper, $65,000 and $718,403. Although not an NEO for fiscal 2011, Bryan A. Shinn, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, earned a payment of $200,000 under the non-equity incentive plan for 2011.

For more information regarding our non-equity incentive plan, see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Performance-Based Cash Incentives” in the Prospectus.

Amendment to Employment Agreement

On February 29, 2012, the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board approved an amendment to Mr. Slobodow’s employment agreement that provides that Mr. Slobodow will serve as the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer or in any other official capacity that the Board may direct. No other changes were made to Mr. Slobodow’s employment agreement.
