ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         On June 20, 2002, OMNI Energy Services Corp.'s stockholders approved an
amendment to OMNI's Articles of Incorporation effecting a one-for-three reverse
split of OMNI's common stock. The amendment was approved by the holders of 73%
of the issued and outstanding shares of OMNI's common stock. The reverse split
was effective as of the close of business on Tuesday, July 2, 2002. As a result
of the reverse stock split, every three shares of OMNI's old common stock will
be converted into one share of OMNI's new common stock. Fractional shares
resulting from the reverse stock split will be settled by cash payment.

         OMNI's new common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
December 4, 1997. OMNI's new common stock continues to be traded under the
symbol OMNI. A new CUSIP number has been issued for OMNI's new common stock
("68210T 20 8") to distinguish stock certificates issued after the effective
date of the reverse stock split. OMNI's old CUSIP number was 68210T 10 9.

         All stockholders holding physical stock certificates are required to
surrender their old stock certificates in exchange for new stock certificates.
OMNI's stockholders should not send their stock certificates to the Company.
Stockholders will be notified by OMNI's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer
and Trust Company, regarding the process for exchanging existing stock
certificates representing pre-split shares. Options to purchase OMNI's common
stock will be adjusted in accordance with their terms to reflect the reverse
stock split.

         The full text of OMNI's press release issued in connection with the
foregoing matter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
is incorporated herein by reference.
