Mr. Butz initially joined the company in February 2005 and served as the Director of Corporate Development at the time of the company's initial public offering. He was appointed Vice


President, Finance and Treasurer of the company in October 2006. Prior to joining the company, Mr. Butz served as a consultant to Noble Corporation, an international offshore drilling


contractor. Mr. Butz also previously served in a variety of roles in both investment and commercial banking at institutions including, Deutsche Bank, Jefferies & Company and First


Interstate Bank. At the same time, Troy L. Carson, currently serving as Vice President and Corporate Controller, was named as Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Carson joined the company as Vice


President and Corporate Controller in March 2007 and was named Principal Accounting Officer in July 2008. Previously, Mr. Carson served in a variety of roles, including as the Assistant


Corporate Controller, at Weatherford International Ltd., an international oilfield services company. Mr. Carson is a certified public accountant with prior experience at a global public


accounting firm. John Rynd, Chief Executive Officer and President of the company, stated, "We are very fortunate that Stephen and Troy have accepted expanded roles with the company as


they both bring solid industry experience and a proven track record in progressively senior positions in dynamic and often challenging times. Stephen was one of the first executives at the


company, and his knowledge of the company's business and long-term strategies is unmatched. He has also played a key role in the company's growth and all of its financing


transactions. Troy has been a key member of the Management team through the multitude of transactions since joining the company in 2007. I am also grateful that the company will retain


Lisa's knowledge and leadership in the key area of human resources. Lisa stepped into the role of CFO at an important time for the company and she was instrumental in helping the


company reposition itself during one of the worst economic and industry downturns in history. Stephen, Lisa and Troy will all be important contributors to the success of our company in their


new positions." Headquartered in Houston, Hercules Offshore, Inc. operates a fleet of 30 jackup rigs, 17 barge rigs, 65 liftboats, three submersible rigs, one platform rig and a fleet
