Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 17, 2008, Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, announced that 4,520 shares of Hornbeck Offshore common stock owned by its Chief Operating Officer, Carl G. Annessa, were recently sold pursuant to an involuntary margin call affected by Mr. Annessa’s broker. Following the sale, Mr. Annessa still beneficially owns or has rights to approximately 235,000 shares of Company stock, including previously granted vested and unvested stock-based compensation. However, only about 44,000 of those shares remain pledged. Given the recent volatility in the capital markets, it is possible that additional involuntary sales by Mr. Annessa’s broker could occur. No other officers or directors of Hornbeck Offshore have any Company common stock pledged against margin loans.

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed.
