<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;21, 2017, the board of directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of Geospace Technologies Corporation (the &#147;Corporation&#148;), upon the
recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, approved and adopted an amendment to the Corporation&#146;s bylaws (&#147;Bylaws&#148;), attached as Exhibit 3.1 (the &#147;Amendment&#148;). This Amendment changes
the voting standard for election of directors from a plurality to a majority of votes cast in the event of uncontested elections and retains plurality voting in the event of contested elections. The Amendment also requires all directors to deliver
an irrevocable resignation upon election that, contingent upon Board acceptance, will be effective for a director that has been nominated for election if that nominated director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in the election and
certain circumstances occur thereafter. The resignation will be effective, contingent upon Board acceptance, upon the earlier to occur of (i)&nbsp;the selection of a replacement director by the Board, (ii) 180 days after certification of such
shareholder vote, or (iii)&nbsp;acceptance by the Board. This description is qualified by the full text of the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1. </P>
