(b) At a regularly scheduled Board meeting on February 15, 2011, Mr. David A. Trice, a director of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (the “Company”) submitted his resignation as a director of the Company effective at the conclusion of the Board meeting. Mr. Trice advised the Company’s Board that, in addition to several other boards he is already serving on, he was soon planning to join yet another board and recognized that, after eight years of service, it was an appropriate time for his exit from the Hornbeck Offshore Board.
Mr. Todd M. Hornbeck, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, speaking on behalf of the Company, commented, “At our quarterly Board meeting last week, we bid farewell to Mr. David Trice, one of our independent directors, who has served our Company well since October 2002. All of us here at Hornbeck Offshore would like to thank David for his many years of service and wise counsel to our Company and wish him all the best in his many future endeavors.”
Mr. Trice was serving as one of four members of the Audit Committee and as Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Board will make appropriate modifications to the committee assignments.
