The Board determined not to appoint Mr. Reed to serve on any Board committees at this time.  Mr. Reed has been added to the class of directors with a term expiring in 2013.
Mr. Reed, age 56, served as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Global Industries, Ltd. (or "Global") from March 2010 until December 2011, when Global was acquired by Technip S.A. He has more than thirty years' experience in the offshore construction industry. Mr. Reed served as Chief Executive Officer of Heerema Marine Contractors from 2006 to 2009, after holding a number of other senior roles with the Heerema Group including Chief Executive Officer of INTEC Engineering, Inc. He previously held a number of other management roles at Heerema in project management, business development and engineering capacities. He holds a Bachelors degree in Engineering from the University of Mississippi and an MBA from Delta State University. Mr. Reed previously served as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Ocean Industries Association, is a past President of the International Pipeline and Marine Contractors Association and past Chairman of the International Marine Contractors Association, America's Deepwater Division.
In accordance with our outside director compensation program, Mr. Reed is entitled to receive an annual retainer for Board service of $45,000, and board and committee meeting attendance fees of $2,000 per meeting.  Upon his appointment, Mr. Reed received a grant of 34,602 shares of restricted stock, which will vest one-third each year over three years.
