Explanatory Note — Deregistration of Securities
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 amends the Registration Statement on Form S-8, Registration No. 333-84110, filed by GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (the “Company”) on March 11, 2002 (the “Initial Registration Statement”), as previously amended by a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed February 24, 2010 (collectively with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement covers shares of GulfMark Offshore, Inc. Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), to be offered and sold under the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Of the 400,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP and covered by the Registration Statement, such share amount (which has been adjusted for the 2 for 1 stock split effected as a 100% stock dividend), as of July 8, 2011, 133,341 shares have previously been purchased under the ESPP.
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 ESPP”), to be effective July 1, 2011, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, which approval was obtained on June 7, 2011. As a result of the adoption of the 2011 ESPP, the Company will not make any future grants of awards under the ESPP covered by the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Company hereby removes from registration 266,659 shares of Common Stock, which constitute all of the shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement that remain unissued under the ESPP as of July 8, 2011.
