(&#8220;Gulf Island&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (NASDAQ: GIFI) today announced that its Chairman of the Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;), John &#8220;Jack&#8221; P. Laborde, will retire effective upon the expiration of his current director term in connection with the Company&#8217;s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders (the &#8220;2020 annual meeting&#8221;).&nbsp;&nbsp;With Mr. Laborde&#8217;s retirement and the anticipated expiration of the terms of two additional directors in connection with the 2020 annual meeting, the Board will be reduced to seven members upon conclusion of the 2020 annual meeting.</p>

He also has served as a member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance &amp; Nominating Committee. </p>

Flick as Chairman of the Board to succeed Mr. Laborde upon the conclusion of the 2020 annual meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Flick has been a Board member since 2007 and during his tenure has served, at various times, as the chairman of its Corporate Governance &amp; Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Jack&#8217;s leadership, industry knowledge and guidance have been invaluable to Gulf Island and we have benefited from his service to the Company and our stakeholders,&#8221; said Richard Heo, Gulf Island&#8217;s President and CEO. &#8220;We wish him the very best in the years ahead.&#8221;</p>

The Board currently has three classes, with members of each class being elected to three-year terms. The amendment to the articles of incorporation will provide that directors will be nominated for election for one-year terms beginning with the class of directors up for election at the 2020 annual meeting and, thereafter, as the term of each successor class expires. This phase-in approach allows each class of directors to complete the term for which they were previously elected by the shareholders. If the proposed amendment is approved by the shareholders, the Board will be fully de-classified, with all directors standing for annual election at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
