The Company has not paid dividends during calendar years 2016 and 2015. While there are currently no restrictions prohibiting the Company from paying dividends, the board of directors, after consideration of economic and market conditions affecting the energy industry in general, and the oilfield services business in particular, determined that the Company would not pay a dividend in respect of the Company’s common stock for the foreseeable future.  Payment of any dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Company’s board and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by the board.
