Explanatory Notes
Forbes Energy Services Ltd. (the “Company”) is filing this supplement to its Proxy Statement that was originally filed on April 20, 2015 (the “Original Proxy Statement”) in order to correct an error in the form of proxy card that was filed with the Original Proxy Statement. In the Original Proxy Statement, the proxy card included on the reverse side of the proxy card the statement “IF NO SUCH DIRECTIONS ARE MADE, THIS PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND FOR PROPOSAL 2” when it should have read “IF NO SUCH DIRECTIONS ARE MADE, THIS PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND FOR PROPOSALS 2 AND 3.”
The Company is attaching as Appendix A a new form of proxy card that reflects the correct statement. This new proxy card replaces the proxy card filed with the Original Proxy Statement. The Company is also attaching as Appendix B a form of notice regarding the availability of proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
