statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K provide other than historical information and are forward looking. The actual achievement of any forecasted results, or the unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way
anticipated or projected by the Company, involve numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company&#146;s actual performance to be materially different from that stated or implied in the forward-looking statement. Among those risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, include, without limitation, volatility in worldwide energy demand and oil and gas prices; fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changes in capital spending by
customers in the energy industry for offshore exploration, field development and production; changing customer demands for vessel specifications, which may make some of our older vessels technologically obsolete for certain customer projects or in
certain markets; uncertainty of global financial market conditions and difficulty in accessing credit or capital; acts of terrorism and piracy; significant weather conditions; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and governmental
actions, such as expropriation or enforcement of customs or other laws that are not well developed or consistently enforced, or requirements that services provided locally be paid in local currency, in each case especially in higher political risk
countries where we operate; foreign currency fluctuations; labor changes proposed by&nbsp;international conventions;&nbsp;increased regulatory burdens and oversight;&nbsp;and enforcement of laws related to the environment, labor and foreign corrupt
practices. Readers should consider all of these risk factors as well as other information contained in this report. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">On June&nbsp;17,
