(1) Because the selling security holder may sell pursuant to this prospectus supplement all or a portion of the offered notes, and common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes, we cannot know or estimate the number or percentage of notes and common stock that the selling security holder will hold upon the termination of any particular offering. The information presented assumes that the selling security holder will sell all of the notes or common stock issued upon exchange of the notes.
(2) In calculating the number of shares of Superior Energy common stock owned, we treated as outstanding the number of Superior Energy common shares issuable upon exchange of all of that particular holder’s notes in accordance with the applicable referenced exchange rates.
(3) Includes Superior Energy common shares issuable upon exchange of the notes based on the initial exchange rate of 21.9414 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. However, the exchange rate is subject to adjustment as described under the heading “Description of the Notes — Exchange Rate Adjustments” in the prospectus. As a result, the number of common shares issuable upon exchange of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
(4) Kellogg Capital Group, LLC (“KCG”) has identified itself as a broker-dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Charles R. Kellogg and Nicholas Cappelleri have or share investment power over the securities.

The additional selling security holders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the securities offered by the prospectus, as supplemented hereby, may be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. To the extent any of the selling security holders are broker-dealers, they are, under the interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
