<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">As contemplated by the Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), on April 19, 2018, the Company entered into employment agreements with Quintin Kneen and Samuel Rubio (the &ldquo;Employment Agreements&rdquo;). The Employment Agreements replace and supersede each of the executive&rsquo;s existing severance arrangements.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">Mr. Kneen&rsquo;s Employment Agreement provides that (1) his annual base salary will be $510,000, (2) he will have an annual target bonus opportunity of no less than 100% of his annual base salary beginning in 2019, and (3) he will receive an annual allowance of $15,000.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">Mr. Rubio&rsquo;s Employment Agreement provides him with an annual base salary of $275,000 and eligibility to receive a bonus in an amount to be determined by the board of directors of the Company beginning in 2019.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">For 2018, the Employment Agreements also provide for the executives to be eligible to participate in a cost savings bonus program (the &ldquo;2018 Bonus Program&rdquo;), with a maximum bonus opportunity equal to the applicable executive&rsquo;s full annual base salary (the &ldquo;Maximum Bonus&rdquo;). The actual bonus under the 2018 Bonus Program will be subject to the achievement of the applicable performance goals, provided that Mr. Kneen will receive at least a guaranteed bonus of $15,000 under the 2018 Bonus Program if (1) he remains employed by the Company at the time the bonus amount is determined or (2) if he experiences a Qualifying Termination. Each of a termination by the Company without Cause and a Good Reason termination (each as defined in the applicable executive&rsquo;s Employment Agreement) is referred to herein as a &ldquo;Qualifying Termination&rdquo;.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">The Maximum Bonus may be paid to the applicable executive earlier, irrespective of any applicable performance metrics, if there occurs a Qualified Liquidity Event (as defined in the Employment Agreements) during 2018 and the executive is employed through the date of such event.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">Upon a Qualifying Termination, each executive is eligible to receive (i) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 24 months of base salary in the case of Mr. Kneen and 18 months of base salary in the case of Mr. Rubio, (ii) a pro-rated bonus payment for the year of termination based on actual performance, and (iii) a lump sum amount equal to the total premiums the executive would be required to pay for 12 months of continuation coverage under the Company&rsquo;s health benefit plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. The Company&rsquo;s obligation to pay the pro-rated bonus and severance is subject to the applicable executive&rsquo;s execution of a release of claims against the Company and his compliance with certain restrictive covenants.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">The Employment Agreements contain customary non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

Entry into Employment
Agreements
As contemplated by the Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (the "Company"), on April 19, 2018, the Company entered into employment agreements with Quintin Kneen and Samuel Rubio (the "Employment Agreements"). The Employment Agreements replace and supersede each of the executive's existing severance arrangements.
Mr. Kneen's Employment Agreement provides that (1) his annual base salary will be $510,000, (2) he will have an annual target bonus opportunity of no less than 100% of his annual base salary beginning in 2019, and (3) he will receive an annual allowance of $15,000.
Mr. Rubio's Employment Agreement provides him with an annual base salary of $275,000 and eligibility to receive a bonus in an amount to be determined by the board of directors of the Company beginning in 2019.
For 2018, the Employment Agreements also provide for the executives to be eligible to participate in a cost savings bonus program (the "2018 Bonus Program"), with a maximum bonus opportunity equal to the applicable executive's full annual base salary (the "Maximum Bonus"). The actual bonus under the 2018 Bonus Program will be subject to the achievement of the applicable performance goals, provided that Mr. Kneen will receive at least a guaranteed bonus of $15,000 under the 2018 Bonus Program if (1) he remains employed by the Company at the time the bonus amount is determined or (2) if he experiences a Qualifying Termination. Each of a termination by the Company without Cause and a Good Reason termination (each as defined in the applicable executive's Employment Agreement) is referred to herein as a "Qualifying Termination".
The Maximum Bonus may be paid to the applicable executive earlier, irrespective of any applicable performance metrics, if there occurs a Qualified Liquidity Event (as defined in the Employment Agreements) during 2018 and the executive is employed through the date of such event.
Upon a Qualifying Termination, each executive is eligible to receive (i) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 24 months of base salary in the case of Mr. Kneen and 18 months of base salary in the case of Mr. Rubio, (ii) a pro-rated bonus payment for the year of termination based on actual performance, and (iii) a lump sum amount equal to the total premiums the executive would be required to pay for 12 months of continuation coverage under the Company's health benefit plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. The Company's obligation to pay the pro-rated bonus and severance is subject to the applicable executive's execution of a release of claims against the Company and his compliance with certain restrictive covenants.
The Employment Agreements contain customary non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Employment Agreements attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.
