Rubio, the Company&rsquo;s Senior Vice President - Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, will be promoted to the position of Chief Financial Officer upon completion of the filing of the Company&rsquo;s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Effective March 20, 2018, Mr. Rubio&rsquo;s salary has been increased to $275,000 per annum.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:79.2pt;">Statements in this report that contain <font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&ldquo;forward-looking statements&rdquo; within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the appointment of Mr. Rubio as Chief Financial Officer. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company&rsquo;s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could impact these areas and the Company&rsquo;s overall business and financial performance can be found in the Company&rsquo;s reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&ldquo;<u>SEC</u>&rdquo;). These factors include, among others, risks of insufficient access to sources of liquidity; operational risk; the price of oil and gas and its effect on offshore drilling, vessel utilization and day rates; industry volatility; fluctuations in the size of the offshore marine vessel fleet in areas where the Company operates; changes in competitive factors; and other material factors that are described from time to time in the Company&rsquo;s filings with the SEC. Consequently, these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations that the projected or anticipated outcomes can or will be achieved. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.</font></p>

Statements in this report that contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the appointment of Mr. Rubio as Chief Financial Officer. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could impact these areas and the Company's overall business and financial performance can be found in the Company's reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("
SEC
"). These factors include, among others, risks of insufficient access to sources of liquidity; operational risk; the price of oil and gas and its effect on offshore drilling, vessel utilization and day rates; industry volatility; fluctuations in the size of the offshore marine vessel fleet in areas where the Company operates; changes in competitive factors; and other material factors that are described from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Consequently, these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations that the projected or anticipated outcomes can or will be achieved. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.
