FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company notes that certain statements set forth in this presentation 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’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, fluctuations 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, development and production; changing customer demands for different 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 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, especially in higher political risk countries where we operate; foreign currency fluctuations; labor changes proposed by international conventions; increased regulatory burdens and oversight; and enforcement of laws related to the environment, labor and foreign corrupt practices. Readers should consider all of these risks factors, as well as other information contained in the Company’s form 10-K’s and 10-Q’s.

Providing safe, efficient and compliant operations – TRIR to date this fiscal year is lowest in company history New fleet comprised of vessels that service all water depths – 199 active vessels at 12/31/15 with 7.9 year average age. “Smart stacking” vessels (70 at 12/31/15). Geographic diversity – Vessel operations are dispersed globally and reported to the public in four geographic segments Staying close to our customers – A solid customer base of NOC’s, IOC’s and others Prompt, proactive cost-cutting initiatives (“control what we can control”) – from 6/14 quarter, headcount down over 2,000 (22%), vessel opex down 42% and G&A cost down 30% Reducing CapEx – vessel construction commitments reduced by 10 vessels, providing ~$76 million in progress payment refunds and ~$145 million reduced future CapEx (if options are not exercised). Vessel construction program was in wind-down mode prior to oil market collapse. Remaining net CapEx as of 12/31/15 , if options are not exercised, is ~$64M. Maintaining solid balance sheet and adequate liquidity to deal with industry uncertainties - $48 million of cash at 12/31/15 and full $600 million revolver drawn in mid-March. 37% net debt to net total book cap at 12/31 and minimal debt maturities until FY2020.
