Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     The 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Oil States International, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on May 17, 2011. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company (i) elected three Class I nominees to the Board of Directors, (ii) ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (iii) voted in favor of the compensation of the named executive officers, and (iv) voted to conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation “every one year”. The voting results for each proposal are as follows:

1. To elect the three Class I nominees to the Board of Directors:

     As reported above, a majority of the votes cast on the frequency for advisory votes on executive compensation proposal were cast in favor of holding an annual “say-on-pay” vote. In consideration of the stockholder vote on the frequency proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors decided that the Company will hold an advisory “say-on-pay” vote every year in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, the Company will include an advisory “say-on-pay” vote every year in its future proxy materials until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of “say-on-pay” votes.
