Regulation FD
Disclosure
|
In
accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, the company notes that certain statements set forth in this
Current Report on Form 8-K provide other than historical information and are
forward looking. The actual achievement of any forecasted results, or the
unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way anticipated or
projected by the company, involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: price of oil
and gas and their effect on industry conditions; industry volatility;
fluctuations in the size of the offshore marine vessel fleet in areas where the
Company operates; changes in competitive factors; delay or cost overruns on
construction projects and other material factors that are described from time to
time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Consequently, the forward-looking
statements made during the call should not be regarded as representations that
the projected outcomes can or will be achieved.
The
following information is being provided under Item 7.01 Regulation FD
Disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K: a transcript from the company’s
May 29, 2008 analyst conference call discussing its definitive purchase
agreement to acquire Rigdon Marine Corporation, a major operator of
technologically advanced offshore supply vessels.
The
