granted and that the property recovered be returned to Spain. The recommendation which was filed June&nbsp;3, 2009 concludes that the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case. Odyssey will file its objection and will continue to vigorously defend
its rights to what it has legally recovered and submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. On June&nbsp;4, 2009, Odyssey issued a Questions and Answers update in regards to recent intense media coverage surrounding the &#147;Black Swan&#148; case.

said Melinda MacConnel, Odyssey&#146;s Vice President and General Counsel. &#147;This is clearly a case where there are many relevant issues of fact that have been disputed, including the issue of whether the <I>Mercedes</I> was on a commercial
mission and whether the property recovered belonged to Spain. I presume that the claimants in the case who assert ownership rights by virtue of the fact that their ancestors owned a portion of the cargo will join us in objecting.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;I&#146;m very surprised,&#148; said Odyssey&#146;s CEO, Greg Stemm. &#147;Odyssey has done everything by the book. For the Court to find that enough evidence
exists to conclusively identify the site as the <I>Mercedes</I> and that neither Odyssey nor the claimants who owned the property have any legal interest is just wrong. I&#146;m confident that ultimately the judge or the appellate court will see the
legal and evidentiary flaws in Spain&#146;s claim, and we&#146;ll be back to argue the merits of the case.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Odyssey will file its objection and will
continue to vigorously defend its rights to what it has legally recovered and submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About Odyssey Marine

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Tampa, FL &#150; June&nbsp;4, 2009- Since the announcement of the Magistrate&#146;s recommendation in the &#147;Black Swan&#148; case, intense international media
coverage has led to many questions that Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMEX) would like to address. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>What was this recent court filing by
the Magistrate? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This was not a <U>ruling</U> in the case. The recent filing was a <U>recommendation</U> by U.S. Federal Court Magistrate Mark A.
Pizzo that Spain&#146;s Motion to Dismiss the &#147;<I>Black Swan&#148; </I>case be granted. The recommendation which was filed June&nbsp;3, 2009, opines that the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case. Odyssey and any other interested parties
may file written objections to the recommendation before any ruling is issued, and Odyssey intends to file an objection. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>How do you feel about the
recommendation? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While we respect the Magistrate&#146;s experience, judges are not infallible, as evidenced by the multitude of verdicts that are
overturned each year in appellate court. We believe key pieces of evidence were ignored or discounted that show the <I>Mercedes</I> WAS clearly on a commercial mission when she sank and that the majority of cargo (coins) aboard the ship was owned by
PRIVATE individuals, not the government. &#147;Returning&#148; the coins to the Spanish Government when they never owned them, defies logic and reason. We also disagree with the Magistrate&#146;s apparent assumption that a vessel was found at the
site. Furthermore, the Magistrate accepted facts as presented by Spain without giving Odyssey an opportunity to cross examine witnesses at a trial. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><U>Do you plan to appeal if the Magistrate&#146;s recommendations are followed by the Judge when he makes his ruling? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Yes. This
recommendation is far from the end of the &#147;<I>Black Swan</I>&#148; case. We believe that the judge or the appellate court will see the legal and evidentiary flaws in Spain&#146;s claim, and we&#146;ll be back to argue the merits of the case. We
will continue to vigorously defend our rights to what we have legally recovered and submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Does this mean the case will drag on even longer? </U></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This does not have a significant impact on our timelines or legal plans. We fully expected Spain to file an appeal if their Motion to Dismiss was denied, and so we have
been planning and budgeting for an appeal in the case. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Are the other claimants in the case planning to object as well? </U></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While we presume that the claimants in the case who assert ownership rights by virtue of the fact that their ancestors owned a portion of the cargo will join us in
objecting, we cannot comment for them or for Peru. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Does this affect your current operations? </U></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">No, our shipwreck operations continue to be focused in the &#147;Atlas&#148; search area with both of our ships working in the English Channel. We also have been planning
additional operations for 2009 in other areas of the world. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Does this affect your plans for an HMS </U></B><B><I><U>Victory</U></I></B><B><U>
agreement? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">No. We are continuing to work cooperatively with the UK Government toward a negotiated agreement as stated in the filing by their
attorneys. As demonstrated by our partnering agreement on the shipwreck of HMS <I>Sussex</I>, a sovereign immune British warship, we have a history of working cooperatively with the UK Government. An overview of this agreement is available at
www.shipwreck.net/pam </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>How does this affect your balance sheet? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It does not have any effect on our balance sheet. The &#147;<I>Black Swan</I>&#148; coins were never treated as assets on our balance sheet. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Does this recommendation mean you will be changing your business model? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">No. This particular situation is
unique and our portfolio of potential shipwreck targets includes many merchant wrecks more like the SS <I>Republic</I> where there are no government ownership issues. In the case of the SS <I>Republic</I>, we obtained title to the shipwreck and its
cargo less than eight months after the discovery of the shipwreck site. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are also other governments who are open to cooperating with Odyssey, and who
are enthusiastic about our potential partnership proposals. Our model is especially attractive in today&#146;s economic climate, because we use no taxpayer money and fund recovery, archaeology, conservation and education. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>What other shipwreck projects are you working on? </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We
currently have two ships working in the &#147;Atlas&#148; search area utilizing new technology integrated into the <I>ZEUS</I> platform which are expected to enhance search and inspection capabilities. Operations aboard <I>Odyssey Explorer</I> are
currently being filmed for the Discovery Channel series &#147;Treasure Quest.&#148; </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The &#147;Atlas&#148; search area contains at least five high value targets, one of which, HMS <I>Victory</I>, was
located last year by Odyssey. We are continuing to search for the other high value targets and we are conducting additional operations intended to help identify a site already located. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We plan to resume work on the North Carolina project later this year. Shipwreck exploration firm and Odyssey partner, Intersal, Inc. has received a renewal of its exploration permit from the North Carolina Department
of Cultural Resources for a site off the coast of North Carolina and additional surrounding areas, some of which correlate with Odyssey&#146;s &#147;<I>Firefly</I>&#148; shipwreck project. Odyssey has an agreement with Intersal, Inc. to pursue
operations under this permit and to share in substantial research and data acquired by Intersal over the years relating to the target shipwreck and the work completed to date in the permit area. The area covered by this permit and arrest is located
near Odyssey&#146;s current &#147;<I>Firefly</I>&#148; project, which was acquired by Odyssey from BDJ Discovery Group in 2007 and includes one arrested site that has already produced a small number of gold and silver artifacts. The Intersal site
and permit area may also be related to the high-value, Colonial-era merchant vessel believed to be located in the area. The agreements with BDJ and Intersal are similar but separate and the areas do not overlap. </FONT></P> <P
