Exhibit 3.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

SEACOR MARINE HOLDINGS INC.

SEACOR MARINE HOLDINGS INC., a corporation duly incorporated by the filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 15, 2014 (the “Company”), desiring to amend and restate said Certificate of Incorporation, hereby certifies as follows:

Said Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

FIRST: The name of the Company is:

“SEACOR MARINE HOLDINGS INC.”

SECOND: Its registered office in the State of Delaware is located at 160 Greentree Drive Suite 101, Dover, Delaware 19904, County of Kent. The registered agent for the Company is National Registered Agents, Inc., whose address is as stated above.

THIRD: The nature of business and purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”).

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is 70,000,000 shares, consisting of:


(i)	10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and


(ii)	60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the shares of capital stock of the Company, regardless of class, may be issued by the Company from time to time in such amounts, for such lawful consideration and for such corporate purpose(s) as the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine.

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series of any number of shares as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, that the aggregate number of shares issued and not cancelled of any and all such series shall not exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized by this Article FOURTH. Each series of Preferred Stock shall be distinctly designated. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly granted authority to fix, in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of a particular series of Preferred Stock, the voting powers, if any, of each such series, and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Delaware.

Subject to the provisions of applicable law or of the Company’s By-Laws with respect to the closing of the transfer books or the fixing of a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote, and except as otherwise provided by law, by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall exclusively possess the voting power for the election of directors of the Company and for all other purposes as prescribed by applicable law, with each holder of record of shares of Common Stock having voting power being entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in his or its name on the books, registers and/or accounts of the Company.

FIFTH: Upon this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company becoming effective pursuant to the DGCL (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Old Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will automatically be reclassified as and converted into 176,713.56 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (the “New Shares”). Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented the Old Shares will, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the number of New Shares as equals the product obtained by multiplying the number of Old Shares represented by such certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time by 176,713.56.

SIXTH: Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of the shares of Common Stock of the Company may be taken without a meeting if, but only if, a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of not less than 66-2/3% (or such greater percentage as may then be required by applicable law) in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may otherwise be specified by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Company entitled to vote thereon shall be required to alter, amend, or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with this Article SIXTH.

SEVENTH: In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be required by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, shall be required for the approval or authorization of (i) any merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction involving the Company, pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation and/or the shares of Common Stock of the Company are exchanged for or changed into other securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, (ii) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation, dissolution, winding up or reorganization of the Company, and (iii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole).

EIGHTH: A director of the Company shall not be personally liable either to the Company or to any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, or (ii) for acts or omissions which are not taken or omitted to be taken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, or (iii) for any matter in respect of which such director would be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of the DGCL or any amendment or successor provision thereto, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director shall have derived an improper personal benefit. Neither the amendment nor the repeal of this Article EIGHTH nor the adaption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article EIGHTH shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article EIGHTH in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article EIGHTH, would accrue or arise prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

NINTH:

a.Foreign Ownership of Stock, etc.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, it is the policy of the Company that, consistent with applicable law, “Foreigners” (as hereinafter defined) shall not own (whether of record or beneficially) or “Control” (as hereinafter defined) in the aggregate sore than the “Permitted Percentage” (as hereinafter defined) of the shares of any class of capital stock of the Company at any time outstanding, and the provisions contained in paragraphs b, c, and d of this Article NINTH shall apply to the extent necessary to prevent the loss by the Company (or any “Subsidiary” or “Controlled Person” (as hereinafter defined)) of, or to reinstate, its right to be a “U.S. Maritime Company” (as hereinafter defined).

(2) The Board of Directors (or any duly constituted committee thereof) is specifically authorized to make all such reasonable determinations in accordance with applicable law and

this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to implement the provisions of this Article NINTH prescribed below.

b. Restrictions on Issuance and Transfer. Any purported issuance (including upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any securities of the Company) or transfer of any shares of any class of capital stock of the Company that would result in the ownership by one or more Foreigners, in the aggregate, of a percentage of the shares of such class of capital stock in excess of the Permitted Percentage shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, U.S. Maritime Law and the DGCL) and for so long as such excess exists, be ineffective as against the Company, and neither the Company nor its transfer agent shall register such purported transfer or issuance on the stock transfer records of the Company, and neither the Company nor its transfer agent shall be required to recognize the purported transferee or owner as a stockholder of the Company for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent necessary to effect a further transfer to a person who is not a Foreigner and for purposes of effecting any remedy available to the Company, in each case consistent with the policy and provisions of this Article NINTH.

c. No Voting Rights; Temporarily Withholding Payments of Dividends and Other Distributions. If on any date (including any record date) ownership by Foreigners (including ownership resulting from the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities of the Company), in the aggregate, of the outstanding capital stock of any class of the Company exceeds the Permitted Percentage, the Company shall determine in the manner prescribed below which shares owned by Foreigners constitute such excess (the “Excess Shares”), and the Excess Shares shall (so long as such excess exists) not have any voting rights, and the Company may (so long as such excess exists) temporarily withhold the payment of dividends and the sharing in any other distribution (upon liquidation or otherwise) in respect of the Excess Shares; provided, however, that any such dividend or distribution shall be set aside for payment to the owners of the Excess Shares when such excess no longer exists or such shares are no longer owned by Foreigners. The determination of those shares that constitute Excess Shares shall be made solely by reference to the date or dates on which such shares were acquired by Foreigners (which, in the event such shares were acquired upon the exercise,

conversion or exchange of securities, shall be deemed to be the date of such exercise, conversion or exchange), starting with the most recent acquisition of shares of capital stock, by a Foreigner and including, in reverse chronological order of acquisition, all other acquisitions of shares of capital stock by Foreigners from and after the acquisition of those shares of capital stock by a Foreigner that first caused the Permitted Percentage to be exceeded; provided, that, in the event that more than one Foreigner shall have acquired shares on a particular day which results in there being Excess Shares, then the aggregate Excess Shares so acquired on the same day shall be attributed to all such Foreigners on a pro rata basis in proportion to the respective number of shares purchased by each such Foreigner on such date. The determination by the Company as to those shares that constitute Excess Shares shall be determined by reference to bona fide records maintained by the Company’s transfer agent and shall be conclusive and binding in all respects.

d. Redemption of Stock. Excess Shares shall be subject to redemption by the Company (by action of the Board of Directors, in its discretion) to the extent necessary to reduce the aggregate number of shares of such capital stock owned by Foreigners to the Permitted Percentage. The terms and conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:

(1) the per share redemption price to be paid for the Excess Shares shall be the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of such shares of capital stock plus (b) an amount equal to the amount of any dividend or distribution declared in respect of such shares prior to the date on which such shares are called for redemption and which amount has been withheld by the Company pursuant to paragraph c, of this Article NINTH;

(2) the redemption price shall be paid either in cash (by bank or cashier’s check) or by the issuance of Redemption Securities, as determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion;

(3) the Excess Shares to be redeemed shall be selected in the same manner as provided in paragraph c, above and shall not exceed the number necessary to reduce the percentage of shares of capital stock owned by Foreigners, in the aggregate, to the Permitted Percentage; provided, that the

Company may adjust upward to the nearest whole share the number of shares to be redeemed so as not to be required to redeem or issue fractional shares;

(4) written notice of the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”) together with a letter of transmittal to accompany certificates evidencing shares of stock which are surrendered for redemption shall be given either by hand delivery or by overnight courier service first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the selected shares to be redeemed, at such holder’s last known address as the same appears on the, stock register of the Company (unless such notice is waived in writing by any such holders) (the “Redemption Notice”);

(5) the Redemption Date (for purposes of determining right, title and interest in and to shares of capital stock being selected for redemption) shall be the later of (A) the date specified as the redemption date in the Redemption Notice given to record holders (which date shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given) or (B) the date on which the funds or Redemption Securities necessary to effect the redemption have been irrevocably deposited in trust for the benefit of such record holders;

(6) each Redemption Notice shall specify (A) the Redemption Date (as determined pursuant to clause (5) of this paragraph d.), (B) the number of shares of capital stock to be redeemed from such holder (and the certificate number(s) evidencing such shares), (C) the Redemption Price and the manner of payment thereof, (D) the place where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cancellation against the simultaneous payment of the Redemption Price, (E) any instructions as to the endorsement or assignment for transfer of each certificates and the completion of the accompanying letter of transmittal; and (F) the fact that all right, title and interest in respect of the shares so selected for redemption (including, without limitation, voting and dividend rights) shall cease and terminate on the Redemption Date, except for the right to receive the Redemption Price;

(7) from and after the Redemption Date, all right, title and interest in respect of the shares selected for redemption (including, without limitation, voting and dividend rights) shall cease and terminate, such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding (and may either be retired or held by the

Company as treasury stock) and the owners of such shares shall thereafter be entitled only to receive the Redemption Price; and

(8) upon surrender of the certificates for any shares so redeemed in accordance with the requirements of the Redemption Notice and accompanying letter of transmittal (and otherwise in proper form for transfer as specified in the Redemption Notice), the owner of such shares shall be entitled to payment of the Redemption Price. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate (or certificates) shall be issued representing the shares not redeemed without cost to the holder thereof.

e. Dual Stock Certificate System and Other Actions. To effectuate the provisions of this Article NINTH and to provide a method to enable the Company reasonably to determine stock, ownership or Control by Foreigners and non-Foreigners, as the case may be, the Company and its duly authorized transfer agent shall institute a Dual Stock Certificate System and shall maintain its stock transfer records in a manner which permits the Company reasonably to determine the percentage of capital stock of each class of the Company owned or Controlled by Foreigners and owned or Controlled by Persons that are not Foreigners.

Certificates evidencing shares of capital stock of any class of the Company shall be marked on their face as either “foreign” (i.e., foreign certificates) or “domestic” (i.e., domestic certificates), but shall, as to form, be identical in all other respects. Shares of capital stock of any class owned or controlled by Foreigners shall be evidenced by foreign certificates, and shares of stock owned or Controlled by Persons that are not Foreigners shall be evidenced by domestic certificates. A certification (which may include as a part thereof a form of affidavit) upon which the Company and its transfer agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively shall he required to be submitted by each Person to whom or on whose behalf a certificate evidencing shares of capital stock of the Company is to be issued (whether upon transfer or original issuance) stating whether such Person or, if such Person is acting as custodian, nominee, purchaser representative or in any other capacity for an owner, whether such owner, is a Foreigner. Registration of transfer and issuance

of certificates evidencing shares of capital stock shall be denied upon the refusal of any Person to furnish said certification. To the extent necessary to enable the Company to determine the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of any class owned or Controlled by Foreigners, or for the purpose of submitting any proof of citizenship required by applicable law or by contract with the United States government (or any agency or instrumentality thereof), the Company may require that record holders and owners of shares of stock, confirm their citizenship (by submitting such documentary and other evidence thereof as the Company (or its transfer agent) may reasonably require or request) and may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, temporarily withhold and deposit into escrow dividends payable to, any such record holder and owner until adequate confirmation of citizenship is received. The Board of Directors is authorized to take all such other ministerial acts and to make such interpretations as it may deem necessary or advisable to effectuate the policy and provisions of this Article NINTH.

f. Severability. Each provision of this Article NINTH is intended to be severable from every other provision. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Article NINTH is held by a court or similar body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Article NINTH shall not be affected, and this Article NINTH

shall be construed as if the provisions held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable had never been contained therein.

If required by applicable law, the annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting of Stockholders”) of the holders of such classes or series of capital stock as are entitled to notice thereof and to vote thereat pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of SEACOR Marine Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on such date as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) or, in the event that no such date is so designated, on the second Tuesday in May of each year, at such hour (within ordinary business hours) as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting. If the day so designated shall be a legal holiday, then such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. Each such annual meeting shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the meeting shall only be called by order of a majority of the entire Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the President of the Company, and shall be held at such date and time, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be specified by such order.

SECTION 3. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Other Business.

(a) Notice for Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the only business which shall be conducted thereat shall be that which shall have been properly brought before the meeting in the manner prescribed immediately below.

(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders only (A) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or (C) by any stockholder of the Company who (i) was a stockholder of record of the Company at the time the notice provided for in this Section 3 is delivered to the Secretary of the Company, and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting of stockholders, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3. Clause (C) of the preceding sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the Company’s notice of meeting) before an Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 3, the stockholder must have delivered timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company and any such proposed business other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day nor later than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary date of the previous year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or if there was no such prior annual meeting, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day nor later than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date which represents the second Tuesday in May of the current year); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than twenty-five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, then, to be considered timely, notice by the stockholders must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(3) A stockholder’s notice delivered to the Secretary pursuant to this Section 3 shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and (ii) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (a) a brief description of the business desired to be transacted, (b) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment), (c) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and (d) any material interest of such stockholder in such business; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s most recent stockholder lists, of the stockholder proposing such proposal, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or other proposal between or among such stockholder, any affiliate or associate, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing, (iv) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including and derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, with respect to shares of stock of the Company, (v) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (vi) representation whether the stockholder intends or is part of a group which intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. Any stockholder who desires to propose any matter at an annual meeting shall, in addition to the aforementioned requirements described in clauses (A) through (C), comply in all material respects with the content and procedural requirements of Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, irrespective of whether the Company is then subject to such Rule or said Act. The foregoing notice requirements described in clauses (A) through (C) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Company of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the information required by clauses (a)(3)(C)(ii), (a)(3)(C)(iii) and (a)(3)(C)(iv) of this Section 3 shall be updated as of the record date and submitted by such stockholder not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting. In addition, if the stockholder’s ownership of shares of the Company, as set forth in the notice, is solely beneficial (and not of record) documentary evidence satisfactory to the Company of such ownership must accompany the notice in order for such notice to be considered validly and timely received.

(4) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 3 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders is increased and there is no public announcement by the Company naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

(b) Notice for Special Meeting. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee

thereof, or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Company who (i) is a stockholder of record of the Company at the time the notice provided for in this Section 3 is delivered to the Secretary of the Company, and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3, including paragraph (a)(3) hereof. Clause (2) of this paragraph (b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations before a special meeting of stockholders. For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder before a special meeting pursuant to clause (2) of this paragraph (b), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting or (y) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to serve as directors and only such other business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the person presiding at the meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3 (including whether the stockholder on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder’s nominee or proposal in compliance with such stockholder’s representation as required by clause (a)(3)(C)(vi) of this Section 3) and (b) if any proposed nomination or other business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 3, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed other business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to present a nomination or other business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed other business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company. For purposes of this Section 3, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(2) For purposes of this Section 3, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 3; provided, however, that any references in these By-Laws to the Exchange Act are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 3 (including clause (a)(1)(C) and paragraph (b) hereof), and compliance with clause (a)(1)(C) and paragraph (b) of this Section 3 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business, as applicable (other than matters brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as may be amended from time to time). Nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to affect any rights (A) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable

rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act or (B) of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3. The presiding officer at any meeting of stockholders shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any business which was not properly brought before the meeting is out of order and shall not be transacted at the meeting.

SECTION 4. Manner of Notice. Notice of all meetings of the stockholders, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the place within the city or other municipality or community at which the list of stockholders may be examined, shall be mailed or delivered in any manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware (“DGCL”) to each stockholder not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting. Notice of any special meeting shall state with reasonable specificity the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is to be held and the business proposed to be transacted thereat. Notices of all meetings of the stockholders and any other corporate notices shall be given in such manner as the Board of Directors shall determine, including by electronic transmission.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Company shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) calendar days before every meeting of stockholders, a true and complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present in person thereat.

Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of stockholders shall consist of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the then issued and outstanding shares of all classes and series of stock of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy. If there be no such quorum, the holders of a majority in voting power of such shares so present or represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without further notice, until a quorum shall have been obtained. When a quorum is once present it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting by any stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, at each meeting of stockholders, every stockholder shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy (but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period), and shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote registered in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Company on the applicable record date fixed by applicable law or pursuant to these By-Laws in respect of each matter properly presented to the meeting. At all elections of directors the voting may (but need not) be by ballot and a plurality of the votes cast there shall be sufficient to elect directors. Except as otherwise required by law or the

Certificate of Incorporation, any other action shall be authorized by the vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereat present in person or by proxy.

SECTION 9. Inspectors. The Board of Directors shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.

In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

SECTION 1. Scope of Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company (or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) and who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in nature (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving

at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Affiliated Entity”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article IV with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. If an indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to a portion of any liabilities to which such person may be subject, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify such indemnitee to the maximum extent for the remaining portion of the liabilities. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. A person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this Section 1 against costs or expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding commenced by such person, unless such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors and except that such indemnification may be provided by the Company in a specific case as permitted by Section 5 of this Article IV.

SECTION 2. Advancing Expenses. The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IV or otherwise.

SECTION 3. Claims. If a claim under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IV is not paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by (a) the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct and (b) the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon proof that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Company that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.

SECTION 4. Corporate Obligations; Reliance. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article IV shall be a contract right and shall be a binding obligation on the part of the Company to its current and former directors or officers and their heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, and such persons in acting in such capacities shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Article IV, without giving notice thereof to the Company.

SECTION 5. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article IV shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Company to indemnify or advance expenses to such person in any other way permitted by applicable law or to be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company and as to action to any other capacity while holding such position.

SECTION 6. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of itself or any officer or director of the Company against any expenses, judgments, fines and amounts payable as specified in this Article IV, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IV or applicable law.

SECTION 7. Definition. For purposes of this Article IV, references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its corporate existence had continued, would have been permitted under applicable law to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request, or to represent the interests of, such constituent corporation as a director or officer of an Affiliated Entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IV with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

SECTION 8. Effects of Amendments. Neither the amendment or repeal of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article IV (including, without limitation, this Section 8) shall adversely affect the rights of any indemnitee under this Article IV with respect to any act or omission of such indemnitee that occurs prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision and shall continue as to indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The rights provided to any present or former director or officer by this Article IV shall be enforceable against the Company by such person (and/or his or her legal representative), who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a director or officer.

ARTICLE VI

BOOKS AND RECORDS

SECTION 1. Location. The books and records of the Company may be kept at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors or the respective officers in charge thereof may from time to time determine. The record books containing the names and addresses of all stockholders, the number and class of shares of stock held by each and the dates when they respectively became the owners of record thereof shall be kept by the Secretary as prescribed in these By-Laws and by such officer or agent as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Company in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time.

SECTION 3. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of

Directors, and which record date: (1) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting; (2) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten (10) days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (3) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (3) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

ARTICLE VII

CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK

SECTION 1. Certificates; Signatures; Direct Registration System. Subject to the provisions of paragraph EIGHTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, the shares of the Company shall be represented by certificates, and every holder of stock shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by or in the name of the Company by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any and all signatures on any such certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The name of the holder of record of the shares represented thereby, with the number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock may be issued in the form of uncertificated shares in accordance with the DGCL. The issuance of shares in uncertificated form shall not affect shares already represented by a certificate until the certificate is surrendered.

SECTION 2. Dual Stock Certificate System; Restrictions on Transfer. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to maintain two separate stock records, a foreign record of stock owned by Foreigners and a domestic record of stock owned by persons or organizations that are not Foreigners.

Certificates representing stock of the Company shall be marked either “foreign” or “domestic”, but shall be identical in all other respects. Stock owned by Foreigners shall be represented by foreign certificates, and stock owned by persons or organizations that are not Foreigners shall be represented by domestic certificates. Whether stock is owned by Foreigners shall be determined in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.

A certificate shall be required from each transferee (and from each recipient upon original issuance) of stock as to whether such transferee (or recipient), and if such transferee (or recipient) is acting as custodian, nominee, purchaser representative or in any other capacity for an owner, whether such owner, is a Foreigner. Registration of transfer (or original issuance) shall be denied upon refusal to furnish such certificate.

No stock of any class of the Company not owned by a Foreigner may be transferred or issued (upon original issuance) to a Foreigner or a holder of record that will hold the stock for or on behalf of a Foreigner if, upon completion of the transfer or issuance, more than the Permitted Percentage (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) of the stock of that class then outstanding would be owned by Foreigners. To this end, stock of any class represented by a domestic certificate (or represented by a foreign certificate known by the Company not to be held by or on behalf of Foreigners) may not be transferred, and stock of any class may not be issued (upon original issuance), to a Foreigner or a holder of record that will hold the stock for or on behalf of a Foreigner if, upon completion of the transfer or issuance, the outstanding stock of that class represented by foreign certificates (and by domestic certificates known by the Company to be held by or on behalf of Foreigners) would exceed the Permitted Percentage.

All stock represented by foreign certificates (other than foreign certificates known by the Company not to be held by or on behalf of Foreigners) may be transferred to Foreigners or to persons or organizations that are not Foreigners, regardless of the percentage of the stock then outstanding owned by Foreigners.

To the extent necessary to enable the Company to determine the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of any class owned by Foreigners, or for the purpose of submitting any proof of citizenship required by applicable law or by contract with the United States government (or any agency or instrumentality thereof), the Company may require that record holders and owners of shares of capital stock to confirm their citizenship status and may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, temporarily withhold and deposit into escrow dividends payable to any such record holder and owner until adequate confirmation of citizenship status is received.

SECTION 3. Transfers of Stock. Upon compliance with any provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, shares of capital stock shall be transferable on the books of the Company only by the holder of record thereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney along with the payment of all taxes due thereon, and in the case of stock represented by a certificate, upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed.

SECTION 4. Fractional Shares. The Company may, but shall not be required to, issue certificates for fractions of a share where necessary to effect authorized transactions, or the Company may pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or it may issue scrip in registered or bearer form over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Company or of its agent, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip shall not entitle the holder to any rights of a stockholder except as therein provided.

The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates representing shares of the Company.

SECTION 5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate, theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to furnish an affidavit as to such loss, theft, or destruction and to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

ARTICLE VIII

DIVIDENDS

Subject always to provisions of applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have full power to determine whether any, and, if any, what part of any, funds legally available for the payment of dividends shall be declared as dividends and paid to holders of the capital stock of the Company; the division of the whole or any part of such funds of the Company shall rest wholly within the lawful discretion of the Board of Directors, and it shall not be required at any time, against such discretion, to divide or pay any part of such funds among or to the stockholders as dividends or otherwise; and before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Company available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its

absolute discretion, thinks proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Company, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the Company, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

ARTICLE IX

CORPORATE SEAL

The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Company and the year of its incorporation, and shall be in such form and contain such other words and/or figures as the Board of Directors shall determine. The corporate seal may be used by printing, engraving, lithographing, stamping or otherwise making, placing or affixing, or causing to be printed, engraved, lithographed, stamped or otherwise made, placed or affixed, upon any paper or document, by any process whatsoever, an impression, facsimile or other reproduction of said corporate seal.

ARTICLE X

FISCAL YEAR

The fiscal year of the Company shall be fixed, and shall be subject to change, by the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors, the fiscal year of the Company shall commence on January 1, and end on December 31, of each and every calendar year.

ARTICLE XI

Without limiting the foregoing, any notice to a director may be delivered personally or by telephone, telegram, telex, facsimile, cable or other electronic means if delivered by such means not later than the day before the day of the meeting. Furthermore, without limiting the foregoing with respect to notice to a director, (i) if the notice is given by electronic mail, the notice shall be deemed given if directed to an electronic mail address at which the director has indicated to the Secretary or other officer of the Company that such director may receive information electronically, (ii) if the notice is given by any other form of electronic transmission, the notice shall be deemed given if directed to the director; (iii) if the notice is given personally or by telephone, the notice shall be deemed given if communicated either to the director or to a person at the home or office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. Any notice required or permitted to be given by mail to any director or stockholder shall be deemed given at the time when the same is deposited, in accordance with the terms of this Section, in the United States mails.

SECTION 2. Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

ARTICLE XII

SECTION 1. Bank Accounts and Drafts. In addition to such bank accounts as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer or any person designated by said Chief Financial Officer, whether or not an employee of the Company, may authorize such bank accounts to be opened or maintained in the name and on behalf of the Company as he may deem necessary or appropriate, payments from such bank accounts to be made upon and according to the check of the Company in accordance with the written instructions of said primary financial officer, or other person so designated by the Treasurer.

The Chairman, the President or any other person designated by either of them shall have the power and authority to execute and deliver proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments in the name and on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights and powers incident to the ownership of stock by the Company. The Chairman, the President or any other person authorized by proxy or power of attorney executed and delivered by either of them on behalf of the Company may attend and vote at any meeting of stockholders of any company in which the Company may hold stock, and may exercise on behalf of the Company any and all of the rights and powers incident to the ownership of such stock at any such meeting, or otherwise as specified in the proxy or power of attorney so authorizing any such person. The Board of Directors, from time to time, may confer like powers upon any other person.

SECTION 4. Financial Reports. The Board of Directors may appoint the primary financial officer or other fiscal officer and/or the Secretary or any other officer to cause to be prepared and furnished to stockholders entitled thereto any special financial notice and/or financial statement, as the case may be, which may be required by any provision of law.

Exhibit

Information included herein is subject to completion or amendment. A Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 13, 2016

https://cdn.kscope.io/d83f0dd1e4f09cdc9f529a21c16d6fa8-seacormarineholdingsinccmykl.jpg

Common Stock

(par value $0.01)

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Holdings”) in connection with the planned distribution by SEACOR Holdings to its stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”).

SEACOR Holdings will distribute all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SEACOR Marine on a pro rata basis to holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock, which we refer to as the “distribution.” We refer to the separation of SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings as the “separation” or the “spin-off.” Holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on , 2016, the record date for the distribution, will be entitled to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock for every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock held, as more fully described herein. Holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock will receive cash in lieu of any fractional share of SEACOR Marine common stock after application of the above ratio. The distribution will be made in book-entry form. We expect that the spin-off will be tax-free to SEACOR Holdings’ stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Immediately after the distribution is completed, we will be an independent, publicly traded company. No action will be required of you to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which means that:


•	we are not asking you for a proxy, and you should not send us a proxy;


•	you will not be required to pay for the shares of our common stock that you receive in the distribution; and


•	you do not need to surrender or exchange any of your SEACOR Holdings common stock in order to receive shares of our common stock, or take any other action in connection with the spin-off.

There is currently no trading market for our common stock. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SMHI.” We expect that a limited market, commonly known as a “when issued” trading market, for our common stock will develop on or shortly prior to the record date for the distribution, and we expect “regular way” trading of our common stock will begin the first trading day after the completion of the distribution.

In reviewing this Information Statement, you should carefully consider the matters described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 for a discussion of certain factors that should be considered by recipients of our common stock.

We are an “Emerging Growth Company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. See page 12.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this Information Statement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This Information Statement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

The date of this Information Statement is , 2016.

This Information Statement is being furnished solely to provide information to SEACOR Holdings’ stockholders who will receive shares of our common stock in the distribution. It is not and is not to be construed as an inducement or encouragement to buy or sell any of our securities or any securities of SEACOR Holdings. This Information Statement describes our business, our relationship with SEACOR Holdings and how the spin-off affects us and SEACOR Holdings and its stockholders, and provides other information to assist you in evaluating the benefits and risks of holding or disposing of our common stock that you will receive in the distribution. You should be aware of certain risks relating to the spin-off, our business and ownership of our common stock, which are described under the heading “Risk Factors.”

You should not assume that the information contained in this Information Statement is accurate as of any date other than the date set forth on the cover. Changes to the information contained in this Information Statement may occur after that date, and we undertake no obligation to update the information, except in the normal course of our public disclosure obligations and practices.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THE SPIN-OFF

Set forth below are commonly asked questions and answers about the spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereby. You should read the section entitled “The Spin-Off” elsewhere in this Information Statement for a more detailed description of the matters described below.

All references in this Information Statement to “SEACOR Holdings” refer to SEACOR Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation; all references in this Information Statement to “SEACOR Marine,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings. Throughout this Information Statement, we refer to the shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock, $0.01 par value per share, as “SEACOR Holdings common stock” or “SEACOR Holdings shares;” and the SEACOR Marine common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that will be distributed in the distribution as “SEACOR Marine common stock,” “our common stock” or “SEACOR Marine shares.”


Q:	What is the spin-off?

The spin-off is the transaction of separating SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings, which will be accomplished by distributing all outstanding shares of SEACOR Marine common stock pro rata to holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock. If all conditions to the effectiveness of the spin-off are met, then all of the outstanding shares of SEACOR Marine common stock will be distributed to holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock on the distribution date. Every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution will entitle its holder to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which assumes that holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes, as defined below, do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings will no longer hold any outstanding capital stock of SEACOR Marine, all of which will be held by SEACOR Holdings’ stockholders as of the record date, and SEACOR Marine will be an independent, publicly traded company. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.”


Q:	What is the reason for the spin-off?

SEACOR Holdings regularly reviews and evaluates the various businesses it operates and the fit that these businesses have within its overall portfolio to help ensure that resources are being put to use in a manner that is in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings and its stockholders. The separation of SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings and the distribution of SEACOR Marine stock are intended to provide you with equity ownership in two separate, publicly traded companies that will be able to focus on each of their respective operating priorities and business strategies. This determination was made based on the SEACOR Holdings board of directors’ belief that the separation of our business from SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would be the most efficient manner to distribute the business to SEACOR Holdings stockholders, and that separating us from SEACOR Holdings would provide financial, operational and managerial benefits to both SEACOR Holdings and us, including but not limited to the following:

•

Ability to Use Equity as Consideration for Acquisitions. The spin-off will provide each of SEACOR Holdings and us with enhanced flexibility to use our respective stock as consideration in pursuing certain financial and strategic objectives, including mergers and acquisitions involving other companies or businesses engaged in our respective industries. We believe that we will be able to more easily facilitate future strategic transactions with businesses in our industry through the use of our stand-alone stock as consideration. Although we have no current plans to engage in a merger or similar transaction with any particular company, we believe that potential counterparties in our industry are typically more interested in receiving stock of a company whose value is tied directly to the offshore marine services business, rather than stock of a more diversified company whose value embodies a number of other businesses. Further, SEACOR Holdings believes that potential acquisition targets of some of its other businesses would be more interested in pursuing transactions in which they received stock whose value is not tied, in part, to the offshore marine services business.

•

Respective Management Teams Better Able to Focus on Business Operations. The separation will enable the management of each company to devote its time and attention to the development and implementation of corporate strategies and policies that are tailored to their respective businesses. Management’s strategies will be based on the specific business characteristics of the respective companies, without the need to consider the effects those decisions may have on the other businesses. SEACOR Holdings management spends significant time determining strategic, financial and operational requirements of each business, and how the company’s defined pool of capital will be allocated among its businesses. The SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that the spin-off will allow each management team to focus on its respective priorities, increasing SEACOR Holdings’ and SEACOR Marine’s efficiency, productivity and leadership satisfaction.


•	Improved Management Incentive Tools. We expect to use equity-based incentive awards to compensate current and future employees. SEACOR Holdings believes that future compensation of our employees in the form of SEACOR

Holdings equity does not serve the desired purpose of incentivizing our employees to maximize our profits because the relative performance and size of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would have a significant impact on the value of SEACOR Holdings equity-based compensation issued to our employees. Following the spin-off, appreciation in the value of shares underlying our equity-based awards granted to our employees will no longer be impacted by the performance of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses. Rather, equity-based incentive awards granted to our employees will be tied directly to our performance, providing employees with incentives more closely linked to the achievement of our specific performance objectives. This will better align our employee interests with the interests of our stockholders. Certain members of our senior management have expressed a strong preference for receiving equity compensation tied solely to our performance. We believe that offering equity compensation tied directly to our performance will assist in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

•

Enhanced Strategic and Operational Capabilities. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each have a more focused business and be better able to dedicate financial, managerial and other resources to leverage their respective areas of strength and differentiation. Each company will pursue appropriate growth opportunities and execute strategic plans best suited to address the distinct market trends and opportunities for its business. SEACOR Holdings has a defined pool of capital with which to develop its businesses and pursue new projects. Separating SEACOR Marine from the rest of SEACOR Holdings’ businesses will allow each business to make independent investment decisions based on its unique strategy and opportunities. We plan to focus on leveraging our strong liquidity, balance sheet and operational expertise to strategically grow through asset acquisitions. Without needing to compete with the capital allocation needs of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses, we can opportunistically acquire offshore assets at attractive valuations, basing any investment decision solely on our independent long-term growth strategy.

In addition, the SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that: (i) following the spin-off, the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock should, over time and assuming favorable market conditions, exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock; (ii) the public markets and securities analysts have a difficult time evaluating SEACOR Holdings because of the inclusion of our business activities in its results; (iii) public market participants and securities analysts may not fully understand each of the business units currently operated by SEACOR Holdings; and (iv) it is difficult to compare SEACOR Holdings to companies that are engaged in only one business. SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors believes that: (i) the market value of SEACOR Holdings’ common stock does not accurately reflect the aggregate inherent value of its shipping, inland river and energy services businesses; (ii) that by separating us from SEACOR Holdings and creating an independent company focused on offshore marine services, while retaining its other businesses, investors and analysts should be better able to understand and evaluate the business strengths and future prospects of each company’s respective businesses; and (iii) a higher aggregate stock price may facilitate growth through acquisitions. Despite the belief of the SEACOR Holdings board of directors, we cannot assure you that following the spin-off, the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock will ever equal or exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock and it is possible that our common stock will come under initial selling pressure, which could affect the value of our common stock in the near term. See “Risk Factors–Risks Related to our Common Stock–Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.”

The SEACOR Holdings board of directors also considered a number of potentially negative factors in evaluating the separation including, in the case of (i) both companies, the potential for the complexity of the transaction to distract management of each company from executing on its business goals, increased operating and overhead costs in the aggregate, disruptions to the businesses as a result of the separation, the risk of being unable to achieve expected benefits from the separation, the potential loss of administrative and other synergies, and the risk that the separation might not be completed, (ii) SEACOR Holdings, that the separation would eliminate from SEACOR Holdings the valuable offshore marine services business in a transaction that produces no direct economic consideration for SEACOR Holdings and (iii) us, the loss of our ability to obtain capital resources from SEACOR Holdings, the limitations placed on us as a result of the Tax Matters Agreement (as defined below) and other agreements expected to be entered into in connection with the spin-off, the initial costs of the separation and the ongoing costs of our operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

For further discussion of these and other considerations, see “The Spin-Off–Reasons for the Spin-Off.”


Q:	What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to me of the separation?

It is a condition to the completion of the distribution that SEACOR Holdings obtain an opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, substantially to the effect that the separation qualifies as a transaction that is described in Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Assuming the separation so qualifies for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no gain or loss generally will be recognized by SEACOR Holdings in connection with the separation and no gain or loss

will be recognized by you, and no amount will be included in your income upon the receipt of SEACOR Marine shares in the distribution. You will, however, recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of SEACOR Marine common stock. For more information regarding the opinion of counsel and the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences to SEACOR Holdings and to you of the separation, see the section entitled “The Spin-Off–Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”


Q:	What will I receive in the spin-off?


A:	Each share of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution will entitle its holder to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which assumes that holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. For a more detailed description, see “The Spin-Off.”


Q:	Will I receive fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution?

Holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock will not receive fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution. Fractional shares that SEACOR Holdings stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive will be aggregated and sold in the public market by the distribution agent. The aggregate net cash proceeds of these sales will be distributed pro rata (based on the fractional share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) to those stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares. Recipients of cash in lieu of fractional shares will not be entitled to any interest on the amounts of payment made in lieu of fractional shares.


Q:	What are holders of SEACOR Holdings 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “SEACOR Holdings 2028 Convertible Notes”) or 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “SEACOR Holdings 2027 Convertible Notes” and, together with the SEACOR Holdings 2028 Convertible Notes, the “SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes”) entitled to in the spin-off?

Holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes are not entitled to participate in the spin-off solely by virtue of their holding these notes. Such holders will participate only if they have exercised their conversion rights under their notes and received SEACOR Holdings common stock prior to the record date for the spin-off. If holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes have exercised their conversion rights and received SEACOR Holdings common stock prior to the record date for the spin-off, they will be entitled to participate in the spin-off in the same manner as any other holder of SEACOR Holdings common stock. For a more detailed description, see “The Spin-Off.”


Q:	What is being distributed in the spin-off?

Approximately 17.7 million shares of our common stock will be distributed in the spin-off. The shares of our common stock to be distributed by SEACOR Holdings will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the distribution. For more information on the shares being distributed in the spin-off, see “Description of Our Capital Stock–Common Stock.”


Q:	On what date did the SEACOR Holdings board of directors approve the spin-off and declare the spin-off dividend?


A:	The SEACOR Holdings board of directors approved the spin-off and declared the spin-off dividend on , 2016.


Q:	What is the record date for the distribution?


A:	Record ownership will be determined as of 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on , 2016, which we refer to as the record date.


Q:	When will the separation be completed?

The distribution date for the distribution, which is the date on which we will distribute shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, is expected to be , 2016. The separation will be completed pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine. We expect that it will take the distribution agent, acting on behalf of SEACOR Holdings, up to ten days after the distribution date to fully distribute the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock to SEACOR Holdings stockholders, which will be accomplished in book-entry form. However, your ability to trade our common stock received in the distribution will not be affected during this time. It is also possible that factors outside our control, or a decision by SEACOR Holdings to terminate the Distribution Agreement pursuant to its terms, could require us to complete the separation at a later time or not at all. See “The Spin-Off.”


Q:	What do I have to do to participate in the distribution?


A:	No action will be required of SEACOR Holdings stockholders to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which means that (i) SEACOR Holdings is not seeking, and you are not being asked to send, a proxy, (ii) you will not be required to pay for the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that you receive in the separation, and (iii) you do

not need to surrender or exchange any shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock in order to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock or take any other action in connection with the distribution.


Q:	Will SEACOR Marine have a relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the spin-off?

In connection with the spin-off, we will enter into the Distribution Agreement and other agreements with SEACOR Holdings that will govern the relationship between us and SEACOR Holdings after the completion of the spin-off. The Distribution Agreement, in particular, will set forth our agreement with SEACOR Holdings regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate us from SEACOR Holdings. The Distribution Agreement will provide that on the distribution date, SEACOR Holdings will distribute to its stockholders, for every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock held by SEACOR Holdings stockholders, one share of our common stock multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of SEACOR Holdings’ common stock outstanding at the time of the spin-off and the denominator of which is 17,671,356 (subject to increase for any shares of our common stock issued and subject to decrease for any such shares repurchased by us); or shares per share of SEACOR Holdings Common Stock, assuming the record date was the date of this Information Statement. It will also provide, among other things, (i) that we and SEACOR Holdings use commercially reasonable efforts to cause SEACOR Holdings to be released from any guarantees it has given to third-parties on our behalf, (ii) for the payment by us to SEACOR Holdings of a fee of 0.5% per annum of the amount of the obligation in respect of guarantees provided by SEACOR Holdings on our behalf that are not released prior to the spin-off, (iii) for the indemnification of SEACOR Holdings for payments made under any guarantees provided by SEACOR Holdings on our behalf to third-parties that are not released prior to the spin-off and (iv) for broad releases pursuant to which we will release SEACOR Holdings and its affiliates and indemnify and hold them harmless against any claims that arise out of or relate to the spin-off or the management of our business and affairs prior to the distribution date.

We will also enter into two transition services agreements (the “Transition Services Agreements”) with SEACOR Holdings pursuant to which we and SEACOR Holdings will continue to provide each other with certain support services on an interim basis and such other services as may be agreed to by us and SEACOR Holdings in writing from time to time. Prior to consummation of the spin-off, we will also enter into a tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) and employee matters agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”) with SEACOR Holdings.

For a more detailed discussion of each of the agreements we will enter into with SEACOR Holdings in connection with the spin-off, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation.”


Q:	How will SEACOR Holdings equity awards be affected as a result of the spin-off?


A:	In connection with the spin-off, we currently expect that, subject to approval of the SEACOR Holdings board of directors, SEACOR Holdings outstanding equity-based compensation awards will generally be treated as follows:

Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Restricted Stock Awards

In connection with the spin-off, outstanding restricted stock awards of SEACOR Holdings common stock held by our employees and the employees of SEACOR Holdings that were granted under SEACOR Holdings equity incentive plans will generally be treated the same as other shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock in the spin-off. Holders of these SEACOR Holdings restricted stock awards will be entitled to receive fully vested shares of our common stock for each SEACOR Holdings restricted share held by such employee, which assumes that holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. All other terms of these SEACOR Holdings restricted stock awards will remain the same, including continued vesting of SEACOR Holdings restricted stock awards pursuant to the vesting schedule of the current awards, except that our employees’ service with us or one of our subsidiaries will be deemed to be service with SEACOR Holdings.

For additional information, see “The Spin-Off–Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Stock Awards.”

Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Stock Options

The board of directors of SEACOR Holdings is currently considering a number of alternatives for the treatment of SEACOR Holdings options held by our employees, employees of SEACOR Holdings who will join us prior to the spin-off and individuals who will join our board and resign from the SEACOR Holdings board of directors prior to the spin-off, including, subject to the approval of our and SEACOR Holdings boards of directors (i) allowing these individuals to maintain their SEACOR Holdings options subject to the terms of the SEACOR Holdings incentive plan and granting them options to purchase our common stock shortly after consummation of the spin-off or (ii) converting these individuals’ SEACOR Holdings options into stock options to purchase shares of our common stock based on an adjustment formula that is meant to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of SEACOR Holdings options held prior to the separation. A final determination regarding the treatment of these SEACOR Holdings options will be made prior to the spin-off.


Q:	Will the SEACOR Marine common stock be listed on a stock exchange?

Although there is currently not a public market for our common stock, we intend to apply to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.” It is anticipated that trading of our common stock will commence on a “when-issued” basis on or shortly prior to the record date for the distribution. “When-issued” trading refers to a sale or purchase made conditionally because the security has been authorized but not yet issued. “When-issued” trades generally settle within four trading days after the distribution date. On the first trading day following the distribution date, “when-issued” trading with respect to our common stock will end and “regular-way” trading will begin. “Regular-way” trading refers to trading after a security has been issued and typically involves a transaction that settles on the third full trading day following the date of the transaction.


Q:	Will the distribution affect the trading price of my SEACOR Holdings common stock?

Yes, the trading price of SEACOR Holdings common stock immediately following the distribution is expected to change because its trading price will no longer reflect the value of SEACOR Marine. However, we cannot provide you with any guarantees as to the price at which the SEACOR Holdings common stock will trade following the distribution. We also cannot assure you that following the spin-off the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock will ever equal or exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock. For a more detailed discussion, see “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Our Common Stock.”


Q:	What indebtedness will SEACOR Marine have following the spin-off?

Upon consummation of the spin-off, SEACOR Marine’s indebtedness will consist of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) as well as various secured equipment financing notes and borrowings under a secured credit facility supporting our wind farm utility vessels. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources–Indebtedness.”


Q:	Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the separation?


A:	No.


Q:	Who is the transfer agent for SEACOR Marine shares?


A:	American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.


Q:	Are there any risks in connection with the separation that I should consider?


A:	Yes. There are certain risks associated with the separation. These risk factors are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement and may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of our business and the spin-off, you should read this summary together with the more detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Information Statement. You should read this entire Information Statement carefully, including the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” sections.

Our Company

We are among the leading providers of global marine and support transportation services to offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production facilities worldwide. We currently operate a diverse and technologically advanced fleet of 191 support and specialty vessels, of which 141 are owned or leased-in, 32 are joint ventured, 15 are managed on behalf of unaffiliated third parties and three are operated under pooling arrangements. The primary users of our services are major integrated oil companies, large independent oil and gas exploration and production companies and emerging independent companies.

Specifically, our fleet features vessels that deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations; field security services; handle anchors and mooring equipment required to tether rigs to the seabed; tow rigs and assist in placing them on location and moving them between regions; and carry and launch equipment such as remote operated vehicles (“ROVs”) used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance, inspection and repair. Additionally, our vessels provide accommodations for technicians and specialists, and provide safety support and emergency response services. We also operate a fleet of liftboats in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that primarily support well intervention, work-over, decommissioning and diving operations. To support non- oil and gas industry activity, we operate vessels primarily used to move personnel and supplies to offshore wind farms in Europe.

We consider ourselves value investors as it relates to acquiring new vessels and selling existing vessels. This strategy typically involves selling vessels in strong markets while deploying capital in periods of weakness. To that end, we have maintained a strong balance sheet throughout the various economic cycles to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Over the last several years, we have disposed of most of our old generation equipment while taking delivery of new vessels specifically designed to meet the changing requirements of our customers and the overall markets we serve. Since December 31, 2005, the average age of our fleet, excluding standby safety and wind farm utility vessels, has been reduced from 16 years to eleven years as of September 30, 2016. Newer vessels generally experience less downtime and require significantly less maintenance and scheduled drydocking costs compared with older vessels, making them preferable to owners, customers and operators alike.

Equipment

The following table identifies the classes of vessels that comprise our fleet as of September 30, 2016. “Owned” are majority owned and controlled by us. “Joint Ventured” are owned by entities in which we do not have a controlling interest. “Leased-in” may either be vessels contracted from leasing companies to which we may have sold such vessels or vessels chartered-in from other third-party owners. “Pooled” are owned by entities not affiliated with us with the revenues or results of operations of these vessels being shared with the revenues or results of operations of certain vessels of similar type owned by us based upon an agreed formula. “Managed” are owned by entities not affiliated with us but operated by us for a fee.

Wind farm utility	37	3	—	—	40	7	—	37
	133	32	8	18	191	14	42	91

As of September 30, 2016, 82 of our vessels were outfitted with dynamic positioning (“DP”) systems. DP systems enable vessels to maintain a fixed position in close proximity to a rig or platform. The most technologically advanced DP systems have enhanced redundancy in the vessel’s power, electrical, computer and reference systems enabling vessels to maintain accurate position-keeping even in the event of failure of one of those systems (“DP-2”) and, in some cases, in the event of fire and flood (“DP-3”).

For a description of the primary use and characteristics of each vessel type, see “Business–Equipment and Services” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.

As of September 30, 2016, in addition to our existing fleet, we had new construction projects in progress for 14 offshore support vessels, including:


•	nine fast support vessels outfitted with DP-2 technology to be delivered between the first quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2019, seven of which are intended to be U.S.-flag and two of which are intended to be foreign-flag;


•	four supply vessels outfitted with DP-2 technology to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2019, one of which is to be sold to Mantenimiento Express Maritimo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MexMar”), our 50% or less owned company, and three of which are intended to be U.S.-flag (one of which may be purchased by a third party at their option); and


•	one foreign-flag wind farm utility vessel to be delivered during 2017.

This new equipment will meet EPA Tier III environmental regulations. Vessels whose keel is laid after January 1, 2016 will have to meet EPA Tier IV environmental regulations, which we believe will add expense to the new construction of offshore support vessels, and may possibly be beyond current design capabilities.

Markets

We operate vessels in five principal geographic regions as noted in the following map. From time to time, our vessels are relocated between these regions to meet customer demand for our equipment. We sometimes participate in joint venture arrangements in certain geographic locations in order to enhance marketing capabilities and facilitate operations in certain foreign markets allowing for the expansion of our fleet and operations while diversifying risks and reducing capital outlays associated with such expansion.

Strengths and Strategies

We believe our diverse and versatile fleet, experience, long-standing relationships with industry participants, liquidity and capital structure position us to identify and take advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities in any vessel class in both the international and Jones Act markets.

Our primary objectives are to grow our business profitably and achieve success as a leading owner and operator of offshore supply vessels.

Our Competitive Strengths

Well-positioned to Capitalize on Recovery in Offshore Drilling Activity. We believe our key strengths, particularly in light of current oil prices and reduced levels of activity in the offshore sector, are our strong and relatively liquid balance sheet, and diversity of assets and geographic operations. In addition we believe that our long-standing customer relationships and industry reputation will allow us to capitalize on an improved market. Low oil prices and the subsequent decline in offshore exploration have resulted in the worst offshore oil services market in decades, and consequently, many operators in the industry are restructuring or liquidating assets. We believe we are an ideal partner for sellers of assets that need an operator with local presence wherever those assets may be located. We view our current capitalization as a benefit in acquiring assets at cyclically low prices and also providing support for retaining or paying for certification of vessels in anticipation of recovering activity or working in spot markets which are characterized by short term charters.

History of Active Fleet Management and Sound Financial Discipline. We are a leading owner and operator of offshore supply vessels, with one of the strongest and most liquid capital structures in the industry. We have a history of improving both our margins and scale through strategic acquisitions and dispositions while maintaining balance sheet discipline and liquidity. Meaningful cost reduction measures have allowed us to manage the recent downturn in offshore activity while making opportunistic investments through disciplined capital expenditures and acquisitions. We believe our balance sheet provides operational flexibility, mitigates risk and supports future growth opportunities in the offshore space while valuations are at cyclical lows. We have the

industry knowledge, financial strength, experience, reputation and relationships to be a platform for consolidation, and to effectively expand and diversify our fleet.

Diverse and High Quality Offshore Fleet Well-suited for Customer Demand. Our fleet is comprised of a broad range of asset classes, and is among the most diverse and versatile in the industry. We design our offshore support vessels to meet the highest capacity and performance needs of our clients’ drilling and production programs, and regularly upgrade our fleet to improve capability, reliability and customer satisfaction. Our fleet consists of vessels that can provide the greatest functional flexibility for the varied needs of the geographically diverse regions in which we operate. We believe that we operate one of the youngest fleets of offshore vessels. Newer vessels generally experience less downtime and require significantly less maintenance and scheduled drydocking costs compared to older vessels. We believe that our operation of new, diverse and technologically advanced vessels gives us a competitive advantage in obtaining customer contracts and in attracting and retaining crews.

Geographic Diversity and Leading Presence in Core International Markets. Our global operational footprint provides a distinct competitive advantage, and is mirrored by very few competitors. We have a strategic and diverse footprint, with operations in five primary regions including the U.S. (primarily Gulf of Mexico), Africa (primarily West Africa), the Middle East, Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America, Europe (primarily North Sea), and Asia. We have been strategically reducing our exposure to the U.S., from 54 assets in 2013 to 50 as of September 30, 2016, while increasing our exposure to the Middle East and Asia, from 25 vessels in 2013 to 40 as of September 30, 2016. From time to time, vessels are relocated between these regions to meet customer demand for equipment. We have been at the forefront of operating high speed aluminum hull vessels oriented to passenger transport and have exported this concept to international regions such as the Middle East and West Africa with the intent to expand this service. Additionally, we believe our vessels are attractive as supply vessels in locales such as the Middle East, where the demand for such vessels is strong because of their combination of shallow-draft and relative large on-deck and below-deck capacities.

Favorable Long-term Macro Trends. We are poised to benefit from increased oil production globally driven by a variety of macro trends. We believe underspending by oil producers during the current industry downturn will lead to pent up demand for maintenance and growth capital expenditure. While alternative forms of energy may gain a foothold in the very long term, for the foreseeable future, we believe demand for gasoline and oil as well as demand for electricity from natural gas will increase. Growing hydrocarbon demand and depletion of existing offshore fields will require continued drilling, and improved extraction technologies are continuing to benefit offshore drilling.

Commitment to Safety and Quality. We have a history of successful compliance with all applicable safety regulations. Safety is an extremely important consideration for oil and gas operators, and our safety record is a strong competitive advantage for us when competing for business.

Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record. Our executive management team, on average, has over 20 years of domestic and international marine transportation industry-related experience. We believe that our team has successfully demonstrated its ability to grow our fleet through new construction and strategic acquisitions, and to secure profitable contracts for our vessels in both favorable and unfavorable market conditions.

Our Strategy

Become a Leader in the Consolidation of the Offshore Marine Industry. Our primary objectives are to grow our business profitably, focusing on risk adjusted return on shareholder equity by achieving success as a leading owner, operator, and investor in offshore supply vessels and being a focal point for consolidation of the industry. We believe that the industry could begin a period of consolidation (although there is no assurance we will be a participant), and that many assets could be sold at distressed prices. We envision consolidation occurring via the purchase of discrete assets or business combinations. We believe consolidation via business combinations can be particularly beneficial to certain operators by allowing them to save the overhead associated with corporate administration and also administration of operations particular in regions such as West Africa, the Arabian Gulf, U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Mexico and Asia, all of which are regions where we presently operate. We believe additional benefits would accrue when business combinations join fleets that have equipment of similar type, thereby allowing rationalizing of deployment in over-supplied markets and efficiencies in using the assets that are in the best condition requiring the least incremental maintenance. Although there is no assurance that business combinations can produce the savings or fleet rationalization benefits we hope to achieve, we will continue to evaluate opportunities as they present themselves.

Actively Manage our Fleet to Maximize Return on Capital over Market Cycles. We are active managers of equipment and buy and sell vessels opportunistically. Our focus in managing our fleet is threefold: (i) accumulating vessels that are similar to our fleet profile, (ii) accumulating vessels in regions where we believe we have an operational advantage as a result of our global footprint, and (iii) using our capital and access to capital to diversify our fleet and acquire assets on favorable terms. We actively manage our capital through opportunistic acquisitions and dispositions and aspire to achieve above-market returns. Using our commercial, financial and operational expertise, we will seek to grow our fleet through the timely and selective acquisition of secondhand vessels and newbuild contracts. We also intend to engage in opportunistic dispositions when we can achieve

attractive values for our vessels relative to our assessment of their anticipated future earnings from operations. As one of the few remaining well-capitalized, global operators of offshore vessels, we believe we are an ideal partner for banks when they are foreclosing on assets and need an operator with local presence.

Periodically Sell Equipment. We believe that an integral aspect of our business is “trading equipment.” Since our inception in 1989, we have purchased approximately 515 vessels, either as individual asset acquisitions or via business combinations, and have built over 130 new vessels and sold over 550 vessels, to various purchasers, including competitors, joint ventures, leasing companies and users outside of the oil and gas industry.

Selective Use of Joint Ventures to Expand Our Geographic Reach and Market Expertise. In order to meet our customers’ needs, we will continue to cultivate and develop partners to gain access to local markets and expand our capabilities. While we are the majority owner of many types of marine assets, we also manage the equipment of third party owners or own a portion of assets through joint ventures. These arrangements enable us to have a larger market presence, as well as earn management fees, which boost and stabilize our cash flows. Our joint ventures have provided us with valuable partnerships both domestically and internationally. As of September 30, 2016, SEACOR Marine had $133.0 million invested in 17 joint ventures, which control $598.8 million of net property and equipment at book value.

Maintain Focus on Niche Markets and Services. Our fleet consists of vessels designed to perform different missions. Although we own some “generic” vessels typical of larger global and U.S. fleets, such as platform supply vessels serving deepwater drilling and production facilities and towing supply vessels serving jack-up rigs working in international markets, we have in the past and will continue to design or acquire vessels for more narrow missions. Our recent capital commitments have been to vessels that transport personnel; however, we are not committed to a single asset type or even a particular variety of assets, as our primary focus is meeting customer demands and the potential returns that can be generated by an asset.

Optimize Vessel Revenue and Cash Returns through a Combination of Time Charters and Spot Market Exposure. Our generally preferred approach to chartering our fleet is to take relatively short term employment or remain in the spot market when rates are depressed, and hold back long term commitments until rates improve. However, we continually weigh the benefits of utilization, even at sub-optimal rates, against the time required for better margins to return, and the cost of cold-stacking. We apply the same logic to opportunistic vessel purchases, especially in down markets such as the market we are currently experiencing. We remain prudent when evaluating new vessel purchases that could be idle for an indeterminate period, despite having long term potential.

Maintain a Balance Sheet with a Moderate use of Leverage. We plan to finance our future vessel acquisitions with a mix of debt and equity, but intend to adhere to our past practice of having modest net debt (debt in excess of cash on hand). By maintaining moderate levels of leverage, we expect to retain greater flexibility to operate our vessels under shorter spot or period charters than may be appropriate or possible for competitors with more leverage. Charterers have increasingly favored financially solid vessel owners. We believe that our balance sheet strength enables us to access more favorable chartering opportunities, as well as gives us a competitive advantage in pursuing vessel acquisitions from commercial banks and shipyards.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks, as discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” which you should read in its entirety. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	the effect of the spin-off on our business relationships, operating results and business generally;


•	we are exposed to fluctuating prices of oil and decreased demand for oil and gas;


•	demand for many of our services is impacted by the level of activity in the offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production industry;


•	changes in commodity prices and in particular prices of oil and natural gas can materially impact the demand for our services;


•	demand for our services is cyclical, not just due to cycles in the oil and gas business but also due to fluctuation in government programs and spending, as well as overall economic conditions;


•	the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas offshore and the relative cost of, and success in, doing so on land;


•	the offshore marine services industry is subject to intense competition;


•	failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers;


•	we rely on relatively few customers for a significant share of our revenues, the loss of any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations and no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain these and other customer relationships after the spin-off;


•	consolidation of our customer base could adversely affect demand for our services and reduce our revenues;


•	operational risks including, but not limited to, equipment failure and negligence could adversely affect our results of operations and in some instances expose us to liability;


•	increased domestic and international laws and regulations may adversely impact us, and we may become subject to additional international laws and regulations in the event of high profile incidents, such as the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig accident and resulting oil spill;


•	if we do not restrict the amount of ownership by non-U.S. citizens of our common stock, we could be prohibited from operating vessels in the U.S. coastwise trade, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition and results of operations;


•	the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended, provides the federal government with broad discretion to restrict the leasing of offshore resources for the production of oil and gas;


•	our operations involve risks that may not be covered by our insurance or our insurance may be inadequate to protect us from the liabilities that could arise; and


•	if our employees were to unionize, our operating costs could increase.

Relationship with SEACOR Holdings

We are a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings, a NYSE-listed company that is in the business of owning, operating, investing in and marketing equipment, primarily in the marine transportation and services industries. After giving effect to the spin-off, we will be an independent, publicly traded company. For more information on our relationship with SEACOR Holdings, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

We have only one class of common stock issued and outstanding, all of which is owned by SEACOR Holdings, and no preferred stock is outstanding.

Immediately before the declaration by the board of directors of SEACOR Holdings of the spin-off dividend, we will enter into a Distribution Agreement, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form 10 of which this Information Statement forms a part, and several other agreements with SEACOR Holdings and its subsidiaries related to the spin-off including two Transition Services Agreements, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement. These agreements will govern the relationship between us and SEACOR Holdings after the completion of the spin-off.

For a description of these agreements see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation.”

Indebtedness

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes

In December 2015, we issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to investment funds managed and controlled by the Carlyle Group pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes mature on December 1, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. Interest on the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2016. Following the spin-off, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes will be entitled to convert the principal amount of their outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes into shares of SEACOR Marine’s common stock at a conversion rate of 23.26 shares of SEACOR Marine common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes through November 29, 2022, subject to certain limited restrictions and anti-dilution adjustments. Assuming the Carlyle Group converted the entire principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Carlyle Group would hold approximately 18.7% of the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock on a post conversion basis based on the number of shares outstanding as of the date hereof.

Other

We have various other obligations including secured equipment financing notes for certain vessels and borrowings under a secured credit facility supporting our wind farm utility vessel fleet. Aggregate outstanding borrowings under these facilities was $67.7 million as of September 30, 2016. These borrowings have maturities ranging from 2016 through 2021, have fixed and variable interest rates ranging from 2.8% to 4.0% as of September 30, 2016, and require periodic payments of interest and principal.

For additional information, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources–Indebtedness” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.

Corporate Information

We are a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings. After giving effect to the spin-off, we will be an independent, publicly traded company. SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 15, 2014.

Information contained on, or connected to, our website or SEACOR Holdings’ website does not and will not constitute part of this Information Statement or the Registration Statement on Form 10 of which this Information Statement is a part.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “Emerging Growth Company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “Emerging Growth Companies.” These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement to obtain stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “Emerging Growth Company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “Emerging Growth Company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We do not intend to take advantage of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for public companies. Our election not to take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

We could remain an “Emerging Growth Company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Information Statement, in evaluating the Company and our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, our business, financial results, financial condition and stock price could be materially adversely affected.

Risk Factors Related to Our Business and Industry

We are exposed to fluctuating prices of oil and decreased demand for oil.

The market for our offshore support services is impacted by the comparative price for exploring, developing, and producing oil, by the supply and cost of natural gas and by the corresponding supply and demand for oil, both globally and regionally. Among other factors, the increased supply of oil and natural gas from the development of new oil and natural gas supply sources and technologies to improve recovery from current sources, particularly shale, have reduced the price of oil. The advent of electric cars, development of alternatives sources of energy to hydrocarbons, such as solar and wind power, could also diminish the demand for oil and natural gas. Such diminution of demand could place continued or additional pressure on the price of oil and therefore demand for our services, as developing offshore oil fields, particularly in deep waters, is one of the most expensive sources of hydrocarbons. Other factors that influence supply and demand of and the relative price of oil include operational issues, natural disasters, weather, political instability, conflicts, foreign exchange rates, economic conditions and actions by major oil-producing countries. The price of oil and the relative cost to extract, proximity to market and political imperatives of countries with offshore deposits affect the willingness to commit investment for contract drilling rigs and offshore support vessels used for offshore exploration, field development and production activities, which in turn affects our results of operations. Prolonged periods of low oil and gas prices or rising costs result in projects being delayed or canceled and can give rise to impairments of our assets.

Beginning in the second half of 2014 and through the beginning of 2016, the price of oil dropped significantly, from a high of $107 per barrel during 2014 to a twelve-year low of less than $27 per barrel in February 2016 (on the New York Mercantile Exchange). While prices have recovered recently, they still remain depressed. As of October 31, 2016 the price per barrel was less than $47. When our customers experience low commodity prices or come to believe that they will be low in the future, they generally reduce their capital spending for offshore drilling, exploration and field development. Since 2014, offshore activity has been declining. The significant decrease in oil and natural gas prices continues to cause a reduction in many of our customers’ exploratory, drilling, completion and other production activities and, as a result, related spending on our services. Because a prolonged material downturn in crude oil and natural gas prices and/or perceptions of long-term lower commodity prices can negatively impact the development plans for exploration and production, the duration of reduced activity will likely continue for some time and we believe will continue to result in a corresponding decline in demand for our offshore support services. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and gas prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect us by negatively impacting our revenues, cash flows and profitability, the fair market value of our vessels, our ability to obtain additional debt or equity capital to finance our business. It could also affect the collectability of our receivables and our ability to retain skilled personnel. Periods of low activity intensify price competition in the industry and can lead to our vessels being idle for long periods of time.

In addition, if difficult market conditions persist and an anticipated recovery is delayed beyond our expectation, further deterioration in the fair value of vessels already impaired or revisions to our forecasts may result in us recording additional impairment charges related to our long-lived assets in future periods.

Demand for many of our services is impacted by the level of activity in the offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production industry.

The level of offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activity has historically been volatile. This volatility is likely to continue. The level of activity is subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including:


•	general economic conditions, including recessions and the level of activity in energy-consuming markets;


•	prevailing oil and natural gas prices and expectations about future prices and price volatility;


•	assessments of offshore drilling prospects compared with land-based opportunities;


•	the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas offshore and the relative cost of, and success in, doing so on land;


•	consolidation of oil and gas and oil service companies operating offshore;


•	worldwide supply and demand for energy, petroleum products and chemical products;


•	availability and rate of discovery of new oil and natural gas reserves in offshore areas;


•	federal, state, local and international political and economic conditions, and policies including cabotage and local content laws;


•	technological advancements affecting exploration, development, energy production and consumption;


•	the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to set and maintain production levels and pricing;


•	the level of oil and natural gas production by non-OPEC countries;


•	international sanctions on oil producing countries and the lifting of certain sanctions against Iran;


•	civil unrest and the worldwide political and military environment, including uncertainty or instability resulting from an escalation or additional outbreak of armed hostilities involving the Middle East, Russia, other oil-producing regions or other geographic areas or further acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere;


•	weather conditions;


•	environmental regulation;


•	regulation of drilling activities and the availability of drilling permits and concessions; and


•	the ability of oil and natural gas companies to generate or otherwise obtain funds for capital projects.

The prolonged material downturn in oil and natural gas prices has caused a substantial decline in expenditures for exploration, development and production activity, which has resulted in a decline in demand and lower rates for our offshore energy support services. The continuation or worsening of such decrease in activity is likely to further reduce our day rates and our utilization, which would in turn affect our results of operations. In addition, an increase in commodity demand and prices will not necessarily result in an immediate increase in offshore drilling activity since our customers’ project development lead and planning times, reserve replacement needs, expectations of future commodity demand, prices and supply of available competing vessels all combine to affect demand for our vessels.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 17% and 32%, respectively, of our operating revenues were earned in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We are therefore dependent on levels of activity in that region, which may differ from levels of activity in other regions of the world due to more localized factors. Although we have some ability to shift the location of our assets, it is unlikely that we would be able to shift a sufficient number of assets from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to counter a significant localized downturn in activity.

Unconventional crude oil and natural gas sources and improved economics of producing natural gas and oil from such sources has and will likely continue to exert downward pricing pressures on the price of crude oil and natural gas.

The rise in production of crude oil and gas from shale in North America and the commissioning of a number of new large Liquefied Natural Gas export facilities around the world are, at least to date, the primary contributors to an over-supplied natural gas market and a similar environment for the crude oil market. While production of crude oil and natural gas from unconventional sources is still a relatively small portion of the worldwide crude oil and natural gas production, improved drilling efficiencies are lowering the costs of extraction from these sources. The rise in production of natural gas and oil from these sources not only affects the price of oil but can also result in a reduction of capital invested in offshore oil and gas exploration. Because we provide vessels servicing offshore oil and gas exploration, a significant reduction in investments in offshore exploration and development in favor of investments in these unconventional resources could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

Difficult economic conditions and volatility in the capital markets could materially adversely affect us.

The success of our business is both directly and indirectly dependent upon conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world that are outside our control and difficult to predict. Factors such as commodity prices, interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation), trade barriers, currency exchange rates and controls, and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or security operations) can have a material negative impact on our business, which could reduce our revenues and profitability. Uncertainty about global economic conditions may lead or require businesses to postpone capital spending in response to tighter credit and reductions in income or asset values and to cancel or renegotiate existing contracts because their access to capital is impeded. This would in turn affect our profitability or results of operations. These factors could also adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. Volatility in the conditions of the global economic markets can also affect our ability to raise capital at attractive prices. Our ongoing exposure to credit risks on our accounts receivable balances are heightened during periods when economic conditions worsen. We have procedures that are designed to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on our receivables; however, there can be no assurance that such procedures will effectively limit our credit risk and avoid losses that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

Failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to retain customers.

Our customers consider safety and reliability a primary concern in selecting a service provider. We must maintain a record of safety and reliability that is acceptable to our customers. Should this not be achieved, the ability to retain current customers and attract new customers may be adversely affected, which in turn could affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

There is a high level of competition in the offshore marine service industry.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and the competitive nature of our industry and excess supply of equipment is currently depressing charter and utilization rates. A prolonged period of depressed rates could adversely affect our financial performance. We compete for business on the basis of price, reputation for quality service, quality, suitability and technical capabilities of our vessels, availability of vessels, safety and efficiency, cost of mobilizing vessels from one market to a different market, and national flag preference. In addition, our ability to compete in international markets may be adversely affected by regulations requiring, among other things, local construction, flagging, ownership or control of vessels, the awarding of contracts to local contractors, the employment of local citizens and/or the purchase of supplies from local vendors. Further, competition has intensified as lower activity in the offshore oil and natural gas market has led to lower utilization and additional capacity. If we are unable to successfully compete, it will have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

An increase in the supply of vessels or equipment that serve offshore oil and gas operations could have an adverse impact on the charter rates earned by our vessels and equipment.

Our industry is highly competitive, with oversupply and intense price competition. Expansion of the supply of vessels and equipment that serve offshore oil and gas operations has increased competition in the markets in which we operate and affected prices charged by operators. Further, the refurbishment of disused or “mothballed” vessels, conversion of vessels from uses other than oil and gas exploration and production support and related activities or construction of new vessels and equipment have all added vessel and equipment capacity to current worldwide levels. The current oversupply of vessels and equipment capacity could lower charter rates and result in lower operating revenues, which in turn could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on several customers for a significant share of our revenues, the loss of any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of oil and gas exploration, development and production companies and government agencies. Our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 55% of our operating revenues in 2015 and 56% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The portion of our revenues attributable to any single customer may change over time, depending on the level of activity by any such customer, our ability to meet the customer’s needs and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, most of our contracts with our oil and gas customers can be canceled on relatively short notice and do not commit our customers to acquire specific amounts of services or require the payment of significant liquidated damages upon cancellation. The loss of business from any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Further, to the extent any of our customers experience an extended period of operating difficulty, our revenues, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects could be materially adversely effected.

Consolidation of our customer base could adversely affect demand for our services and reduce our revenues.

In recent years, oil and natural gas companies, energy companies and drilling contractors have undergone substantial consolidation and additional consolidation is possible. Consolidation results in fewer companies to charter or contract for our services. Also, merger activity among both major and independent oil and natural gas companies affects exploration, development and production activity as the consolidated companies integrate operations to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Less promising exploration and development projects of a combined company may be dropped or delayed. Such activity may result in an exploration and development budget for a combined company that is lower than the total budget of both companies before consolidation, which could adversely affect demand for our vessels thereby reducing our revenues.

We may be unable to maintain or replace our offshore support vessels as they age.

As of September 30, 2016, the average age of our vessels, excluding our standby safety and wind farm utility vessels, was approximately eleven years. We believe that after an offshore support vessel has been in service for approximately 20 years, the expense (which typically increases with age) necessary to satisfy required marine certification standards may not be economically justifiable. In addition, we must maintain our vessels to remain attractive to our customers and comply with regulations; however, we may be unable to carry out drydockings of our vessels or may be limited by insufficient shipyard capacity, which could adversely affect our ability to maintain our vessels. In addition, market conditions may not justify these expenditures or enable us to operate our older vessels profitably during the remainder of their economic lives. There can be no assurance that

we will be able to maintain our fleet by extending the economic life of existing vessels, or that our financial resources will be sufficient to enable us to make expenditures necessary for these purposes or to acquire or build replacement vessels, all of which could affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, stock price and growth prospects.

The failure to successfully complete construction or conversion of our vessels, repairs, maintenance or routine drydockings on schedule and on budget could adversely affect our financial position and our results of operations.

From time to time, we may have a number of vessels under conversion and may plan to construct or convert other vessels in response to current and future market conditions. We also routinely engage shipyards to drydock vessels for regulatory compliance and to provide repair and maintenance. Construction and conversion projects and drydockings are subject to risks of delay and cost overruns, resulting from shortages of equipment, lack of shipyard availability, unforeseen engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, unanticipated cost increases, inability to obtain necessary certifications and approvals and shortages of materials or skilled labor. A significant delay in either construction or drydockings could have a material adverse effect on contract commitments and revenues with respect to vessels under construction, conversion or undergoing drydockings. Significant cost overruns or delays for vessels under construction, conversion or retrofit could also adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to grow.

The operations of our fleet may be subject to seasonal factors.

Demand for our offshore support services is directly affected by the levels of offshore drilling and production activity. Budgets of many of our customers are based upon a calendar year, and demand for our services has historically been stronger in the second and third calendar quarters when allocated budgets are expended by our customers and weather conditions are more favorable for offshore activities. In particular, the demand for our liftboat fleet in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is seasonal with peak demand normally occurring during the summer months. Adverse events relating to our vessels or business operations during peak demand periods could have a more significant adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Additionally, seasonal volatility can create unpredictability in activity and utilization rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and opportunities for growth.

We have high levels of fixed costs that will be incurred regardless of our level of business activity.

Our business has high fixed costs. Downtime or low productivity due to reduced demand, as is currently being experienced, can have a significant negative effect on our operating results and financial condition. Some of our fixed costs will not decline during periods of reduced revenue or activity. During times of reduced utilization, we may not be able to reduce our costs immediately as we may incur additional costs associated with preparing vessels for cold stacking. Moreover, we may not be able to fully reduce the cost of our support operations in a particular geographic region due to the need to support the remaining vessels in that region. A decline in revenue due to lower day rates and/or utilization may not be offset by a corresponding decrease in our fixed costs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

As the markets recover or we change our marketing strategies or for other reasons, we may be required to incur higher than expected costs to return previously cold stacked vessels to class.

Cold stacked vessels are not always maintained with the same diligence as our marketed fleet. As a result, and depending on the length of time the vessels are cold stacked, we could incur deferred drydocking costs for regulatory recertifications to return these vessels to active service and may incur costs to hire and train mariners to operate such vessels. These costs are difficult to estimate and could be substantial. Delay in reactivating cold stacked vessels and the costs and other expenses related to the reactivation of cold stacked vessels could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to renew or replace expiring contracts for our vessels.

Our ability to renew or replace expiring contracts or obtain new contracts, and the terms of any such contracts, will depend on various factors, including market conditions and the specific needs of our customers. Given the highly competitive and historically cyclical nature of our industry, we may not be able to renew or replace the contracts or we may be required to renew or replace expiring contracts or obtain new contracts at rates that are below, and potentially substantially below, existing day rates, or that have terms that are less favorable to us than our existing contracts, or we may be unable to secure contracts for these vessels. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Increased domestic and international laws and regulations may adversely impact us, and we may become subject to additional international laws and regulations in the event of high profile incidents, such as the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig accident and resulting oil spill.

Changes in laws or regulations regarding offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities and technical and operational measures, whether or not in response to specific incidents, may increase our costs and the costs of our customers’ operations. For instance, on April 22, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon, a semi-submersible deepwater drilling rig operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, sank after an apparent blowout and fire resulting in a significant flow of hydrocarbons from the BP Macondo well (the “Deepwater Horizon/BP Macondo Well Incident”). In response to the Deepwater Horizon/BP Macondo Well Incident,

the regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over oil and gas exploration, including the U.S. Department of the Interior and all its various sub-agencies, imposed temporary moratoria on drilling operations, by requiring operators to reapply for exploration plans and drilling permits that had previously been approved, and by adopting numerous new regulations and new interpretations of existing regulations regarding offshore operations that are applicable to our customers and with which their new applications for exploration plans and drilling permits must prove compliant. Compliance with these new regulations and new interpretations of existing regulations have materially increased the cost of drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. New or additional government regulations or laws concerning drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and other regions have in the past and could in the future materially increase the cost of drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. These changes may influence decisions by customers or other industry participants that could reduce the demand for our services, which would have a negative impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended, provides the federal government with broad discretion in regulating the leasing of offshore resources for the production of oil and gas.

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act provides the federal government with broad discretion in regulating the release or continued use of offshore resources for oil and gas production. Because our operations rely on offshore oil and gas exploration and production, the government’s exercise of authority under the provisions of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to restrict the availability of offshore oil and gas leases (for example, due to a serious incident of pollution) could affect the operations of our customers in the oil and gas industry and thereby could reduce demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations that can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

Increasingly stringent federal, state, local and international laws and regulations governing worker safety and health and the manning, construction and operation of vessels significantly affect our operations. Many aspects of the marine industry are subject to extensive governmental regulation, including by the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”), Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), International Maritime Organization (“IMO”), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Maritime Administration, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) and state environmental protection agencies for those jurisdictions in which we operate, and to regulation by port states and classification societies (such as the American Bureau of Shipping). We are also subject to regulation under international treaties, such as (i) the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (“MARPOL”); (ii) the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 and 1978 Protocols (“SOLAS”), and (iii) the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (“STCW”). These agencies, organizations, regulations and treaties establish safety requirements and standards and are authorized to investigate vessels and accidents and to recommend improved safety standards. The CBP and USCG are authorized to inspect vessels at will. We have and will continue to spend significant funds to comply with these regulations and treaties. Failure to comply with these regulations and treaties may cause us to incur significant liabilities and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business and operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international laws and regulations as well as those of individual countries in which we operate, relating to environmental protection and occupational safety and health, including laws that govern the discharge of oil and pollutants into U.S. navigable and other waters or into waters covered by international law or such individual countries. Violations of these laws may result in civil and criminal penalties, fines, injunctions, or other sanctions, or the suspension or termination of our operations. Compliance with such laws and regulations may require installation of costly equipment, increased manning, specific training, or operational changes. Some environmental laws impose strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous materials and damage to natural resources, which could subject us to liability without regard to whether we are negligent or at fault. Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA 90”), owners, operators and bareboat charterers are jointly and severally strictly liable for the removal costs and damages resulting from the discharge of oil within the 200 mile exclusive economic zone around the United States (the “EEZ”). In addition, an oil spill could result in significant liability, including fines, penalties, criminal liability and costs for natural resource and other damages under other federal and state laws and civil actions. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, including charterers. Because such laws and regulations frequently change and may impose increasingly strict requirements, we cannot predict the ongoing cost of complying with these laws and regulations. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation is generally toward stricter standards, and it is our view that this trend is likely to continue. We cannot be certain that existing laws, regulations or standards, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in the future, or future laws and regulations and standards will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Regulation of the offshore marine services industry will likely continue to become more stringent and more expensive for us. In addition, a serious marine incident occurring in U.S. waters that results in significant oil pollution could result in additional regulation and lead to strict governmental enforcement or other legal challenge.

Additional environmental and other requirements, as well as more stringent enforcement policies, may be adopted that could limit our ability to operate, require us to incur substantial additional costs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or growth prospects. For more information, see “Business–Environmental Compliance.”

There are risks associated with climate change and environmental regulations.

Governments around the world have, in recent years, placed increasing attention on matters affecting the environment and this could lead to new laws or regulations pertaining to climate change, carbon emissions or energy use that in turn could result in a reduction in demand for hydrocarbon-based fuel. Governments could also pass laws or regulations encouraging or mandating the use of alternative energy sources such as wind power and solar energy, which may reduce demand for oil and natural gas and therefore the services provided by us. Alternatively, changes in U.S. law permitting additional drilling on federal lands could divert capital from offshore exploration. In addition, new environmental or emissions control laws or regulations may require an increase in our operating costs and/or in our capital spending for additional equipment to comply with such requirements and could also result in a reduction in revenues due to downtime required for the installation of such equipment. Such initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

A violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act may adversely affect our business and operations.

In order to effectively compete in certain foreign jurisdictions, we seek to establish joint ventures with local operators or strategic partners. As a U.S. corporation, we are subject to the regulations imposed by the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”), which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining business. SEACOR Holdings has stringent procedures in place to enforce compliance with the FCPA and we will adopt similar policies and procedures upon consummation of the spin-off. Nevertheless, we do business and may do additional business in the future in countries and regions where strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may not be customary and we may be held liable for actions taken by our strategic or local partners even though these partners may not be subject to the FCPA. Our personnel and intermediaries, including our local operators and strategic partners, may face, directly or indirectly, corrupt demands by government officials, political parties and officials, tribal or insurgent organizations, or private entities in the countries in which we operate or may operate in the future. As a result, we face the risk that an unauthorized payment or offer of payment could be made by one of our employees or intermediaries, even if such parties are not always subject to our control or are not themselves subject to the FCPA or other similar laws to which we may be subject. Any allegation or determination that we have violated the FCPA could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and opportunities for growth.

We have significant international operations, which subject us to risks. Unstable political, military and economic conditions in foreign countries where a significant proportion of our operations is conducted could adversely impact our business.

We operate vessels and transact other business worldwide. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 83%, 68%, 57% and 52%, respectively, of our operating revenues and $1.7 million, $8.6 million, $9.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of our equity in earnings (losses) from 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, were derived from our foreign operations. These operations are subject to risks, including potential vessel seizure, terrorist acts, piracy, kidnapping, nationalization of assets, currency restrictions, import or export quotas and other forms of public and government regulation, all of which are beyond our control. Economic sanctions or an oil embargo, for example, could have significant impact on activity in the oil and gas industry and, correspondingly, on us should we operate vessels in a country subject to any sanctions or embargo, or in the surrounding region to the extent any sanctions or embargo disrupts its operations.

In addition, our ability to compete in international markets may be adversely affected by foreign government regulations that favor or require the awarding of contracts to local competitors, or that require foreign persons to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Further, our foreign subsidiaries may face governmentally imposed restrictions on their ability to transfer funds to their parent company.

Activity outside the United States involves additional risks, including the possibility of:


•	United States embargoes or restrictive actions by United States and foreign governments that could limit the Company’s ability to provide services in foreign countries or cause retaliatory actions by such governments;


•	a change in, or the imposition of, withholding or other taxes on foreign income, tariffs or restrictions on foreign trade and investment;


•	limitations on the repatriation of earnings or currency exchange controls and import/export quotas;


•	unwaivable, burdensome local cabotage and local ownership laws and requirements;


•	nationalization, expropriation, asset seizure, blockades and blacklisting;


•	limitations in the availability, amount or terms of insurance coverage;


•	loss of contract rights and inability to enforce contracts;


•	political instability, war and civil disturbances or other risks that may limit or disrupt markets, such as terrorist acts, piracy and kidnapping;


•	fluctuations in currency exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange that affect demand for our services and its profitability;


•	potential noncompliance with a wide variety of laws and regulations, such as the FCPA, and similar non-U.S. laws and regulations, including the U.K. Bribery Act 2010;


•	labor strikes;


•	import or export quotas and other forms of public and government regulation;


•	changes in general economic and political conditions; and


•	difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations.

The United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) held a referendum on June 23, 2016 regarding its membership in the European Union (the “E.U.”) in which a majority of the U.K. electorate voted in favor of the British government taking the necessary action for the U.K. to withdraw from the E.U. (the “Brexit”). At this time, it is not certain what steps will need to be taken to facilitate the UK's exit from the European Union or the length of time that this may take. In particular, on November 3, 2016, the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of England and Wales (the “High Court”) handed down its judgment in R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union [2016] EWHC 2768 (Admin) (the “Brexit Judgment”). In summary, the High Court held that, as a matter of UK constitutional law, the UK government does not have the power under the Crown’s prerogative to give the required notice for the UK to withdraw from the European Union without express authority from Parliament. The UK government has been granted permission to appeal to the Supreme Court against the Brexit Judgment, and the Supreme Court has set aside time for a hearing between December 5, 2016 and December 8, 2016. However, at this time it is unclear what the ultimate decision resulting from such appeal may be.

We face risks associated with the uncertainty following the referendum and the consequences that may flow from the decision to exit the E.U. Among other things, the U.K.’s decision to leave the E.U. has caused, and is anticipated to continue to cause, significant new uncertainties and instability in European and global financial markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may affect us and the trading price of the SEACOR Marine common stock. In addition, the exit of the U.K. from the E.U. could lead to legal and regulatory uncertainty and potentially divergent treaties, laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. treaties, laws and regulations to replace or replicate, including those governing maritime, labor, environmental, competition and other matters applicable to the provision of support vessel services. The impact on our business of any treaties, laws and regulations with and in the U.K. that replace the existing E.U. counterparts cannot be predicted. Any of these effects, and others we cannot anticipate, could materially adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Adverse results of legal proceedings could materially adversely affect us.

We are subject to and may in the future be subject to a variety of legal proceedings and claims that arise out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Irrespective of its merits, litigation may be both lengthy and disruptive to our operations and may cause significant expenditure and diversion of management attention. We may be faced with significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us that could materially adversely affect a portion of our business operations or materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows should we fail to prevail in certain matters.

There are risks associated with our debt structure.

Upon consummation of the spin-off, SEACOR Marine will have $230.1 million of outstanding indebtedness, including the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and obligations under secured notes and credit facilities secured by mortgages on various vessels.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and refinance our indebtedness, including the debt existing at the time of the spin-off as well as any future debt that we may incur, will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings or asset sales, which are subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles, seasonality and other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. If we cannot repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including undertaking alternative financing plans, which may have onerous terms or may be unavailable, reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes or dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in our industry could be impaired.

The lenders who hold such debt could also accelerate amounts due, which could potentially trigger a default or acceleration of our other debt.

Our future debt levels and the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur may contain restrictive covenants and limit our liquidity and our ability to obtain additional financing and pursue acquisitions and joint ventures or purchase new vessels. Tight credit conditions could limit our ability to secure additional financing, if required, due to difficulties accessing the credit and capital markets.

We are subject to hazards customary for the operation of vessels that could disrupt operations and expose us to liability.

The operation of offshore support and related vessels is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disaster, adverse weather, mechanical failure and collision. For instance, our operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may be adversely affected by weather. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November. Tropical storms and hurricanes may limit our ability to operate vessels in the proximity of storms and could result in us incurring additional expenses to secure equipment and facilities and may require us to evacuate ours vessels, personnel and equipment out of the path of a storm. Additional risks to vessels include adverse sea conditions, capsizing, grounding, oil and hazardous substance spills and navigation errors. These risks could endanger the safety of our personnel, equipment, cargo and other property, as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, we could be held liable for resulting damages, including loss of revenues from or termination of charter contracts, higher insurance rates, increased operating costs, increased governmental regulation and reporting and damage to our reputation and customer relationships. Any such events would likely result in negative publicity for us and adversely affect our safety record, which would affect demand for our services in a competitive industry. In addition, the affected vessels could be removed from service and would then not be available to generate revenues.

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect us from the liabilities that could arise in our business.

Although we maintain insurance coverage against the risks related to our business, risks may arise for which we may not be insured. Claims covered by insurance are subject to deductibles, the aggregate amount of which could be material. Insurance policies are also subject to compliance with certain conditions, the failure of which could lead to a denial of coverage as to a particular claim or the voiding of a particular insurance policy. There also can be no assurance that existing insurance coverage can be renewed at commercially reasonable rates or that available coverage will be adequate to cover future claims. If a loss occurs that is partially or completely uninsured, we could be exposed to substantial liability. Further, to the extent the proceeds from insurance are not sufficient to repair or replace a damaged vessel, we would be required to expend funds to supplement the insurance and in certain circumstances may decide that such expenditures are not justified, which, in either case, could adversely affect our liquidity and ability to grow.

We may undertake one or more significant corporate transactions that may not achieve their intended results, may adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations, and may result in additional risks to our business.

We continuously evaluate the acquisition and disposition of assets relevant to participants in the offshore oil and gas industry and may in the future undertake significant transactions. Any such transaction could be material to our business and could take any number of forms, including mergers, joint ventures, investments in new lines of business and the purchase of equity interests or assets. The form of consideration associated with such transactions may include, among other things, cash, common stock or equity interests in our subsidiaries. We also evaluate the disposition of our assets, in whole or in part, which could take the form of asset sales, mergers or sales of equity interests in our subsidiaries (privately or through a public offering).

These types of significant transactions may present significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, insufficient revenue to offset liabilities assumed, potential loss of significant revenue and income streams, unexpected expenses, inadequate return of capital, potential acceleration of taxes currently deferred, regulatory or compliance issues, the triggering of certain covenants in our debt instruments (including accelerated repayment) and other unidentified issues not discovered in due diligence. As a result of the risks inherent in such transactions, we cannot guarantee that any such transaction will ultimately result in the realization of the anticipated benefits of the transaction or that significant transactions will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or its results of operations. If we were to complete such an acquisition, disposition, investment or other strategic transaction, it may require additional debt or equity financing that could result in a significant increase in the amount of debt we have or the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

Repeal, amendment, suspension or non-enforcement of the Jones Act would result in additional competition for us and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Substantial portions of our operations are conducted in the U.S. coastwise trade. Subject to limited exceptions, the Jones Act requires that vessels engaged in the U.S. coastwise trade be built in the United States, registered under the U.S. flag, manned by predominantly U.S. crews, and owned and operated by U.S. citizens within the meaning of the Jones Act. There have been attempts to repeal or amend such provisions, and such attempts are expected to continue in the future.

For example, in a recent congressional review of Puerto Rico’s financial circumstances, several proponents of repealing the Jones Act offered bills to exempt the island from the Jones Act. Although the proposals focused mainly on the delivery of goods and bulk products to Puerto Rico from the U.S. mainland, and the bills were not passed, there is a risk that such legislation could be reintroduced by the special committee tasked with overseeing Puerto Rico’s financial reorganization, which could lead to broader legislation affecting other aspects of the Jones Act.

Repeal, substantial amendment or waiver of such provisions could significantly adversely affect us by, among other things, resulting in additional competition from competitors with lower operating costs, because of their ability to use vessels built in lower-cost foreign shipyards, owned and manned by foreign nationals with promotional foreign tax incentives and with lower wages and benefits than U.S. citizens. In addition, our advantage as a U.S.-citizen operator of Jones Act vessels could be eroded by periodic efforts and attempts by foreign interests to circumvent certain aspects of the Jones Act. If maritime cabotage services were included in the General Agreement on Trade in Services, the North American Free Trade Agreement or other international trade agreements, or if the restrictions contained in the Jones Act were otherwise altered, the shipping of maritime cargo between covered U.S. ports could be opened to foreign-flag or foreign-built vessels. Because foreign vessels may have lower construction costs and operate at significantly lower costs than companies currently operating in the U.S. coastwise trade, such a change could significantly increase competition in the U.S. coastwise trade, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

If we do not restrict the amount of ownership of our common stock by non-U.S. citizens, we could be prohibited from operating offshore support vessels in the United States, which would adversely impact our business and operating results.

We are subject to the Jones Act, which governs, among other things, the ownership and operation of offshore support vessels used to carry passengers and cargo between points in the United States. Subject to limited exceptions, the Jones Act requires that vessels engaged in the U.S. coastwise trade be built in the United States, registered under the U.S. flag, manned by predominantly U.S. crews, and owned and operated by U.S. citizens within the meaning of the Jones Act. Although our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions intended to assure compliance with these provisions of the Jones Act, a failure to maintain compliance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and we would be prohibited from operating vessels in the U.S. coastwise trade during any period in which we do not comply or cannot demonstrate to the satisfaction of the relevant governmental authorities our compliance with the U.S. citizenship requirements of the Jones Act. In addition, we could be subject to fines and our vessels could be subject to seizure and forfeiture for violations of the Jones Act and the related U.S. vessel documentation laws.

If non-U.S. citizens own more than 22.5% of our common stock, we may not have the funds or the ability to redeem any excess shares and we could be forced to suspend our operations in the U.S. coastwise trade.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain provisions prohibiting ownership of our Common Stock by persons who are not U.S. citizens within the meaning of the Jones Act, in the aggregate, in excess of 22.5% of such shares, in order to ensure that such ownership by non-U.S. citizens will not exceed the maximum percentage permitted by the Jones Act, which is presently 25%. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws permit us to redeem such excess shares. The per share redemption price may be paid, as determined by our Board of Directors, by cash or promissory notes. However, we may not be able to redeem such excess shares for cash because our operations may not have generated sufficient excess cash flow to fund such redemption. If, for any reason, we are unable to effect such a redemption when such ownership of shares by non-U.S. citizens is in excess of 25% of the common stock, or otherwise prevent non-U.S. citizens in the aggregate from owning shares in excess of 25% of any such class or series of our capital stock, or fail to exercise our redemption rights because we are unaware that such ownership exceeds such percentage, we will likely be unable to comply with the Jones Act and will likely be required by the applicable governmental authorities to suspend our operations in the U.S. coastwise trade. Any such actions by governmental authorities would have a severely detrimental impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

Restrictions on non-U.S. citizen ownership of our vessels could limit our ability to sell off any portion of our business or result in the forfeiture of our vessels.

Compliance with the Jones Act requires that non-U.S. citizens own no more than 25% in the entities that directly or indirectly own the vessels that we operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. If we were to seek to sell any portion of our business that owns any of these vessels, we would have fewer potential purchasers, since some potential purchasers might be unable or unwilling to satisfy the U.S. citizenship restrictions described above. As a result, the sales price for that portion of our business may not attain the amount that could be obtained in an unregulated market. Furthermore, if at any point we or any of the entities that directly or indirectly own our vessels cease to satisfy the requirements to be a U.S. citizen within the meaning of the Jones Act, we would become ineligible to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade and may become subject to penalties and risk forfeiture of our vessels.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws limit the ownership of common stock by individuals and entities that are not U.S. citizens within the meaning of the Jones Act. These restrictions may affect the liquidity of our common stock and may result in non-U.S. citizens being required to sell their shares at a loss or relinquish their voting, dividend and distribution rights.

Under the Jones Act, at least 75% of the outstanding shares of each class or series of our capital stock must be owned and controlled by U.S. citizens within the meaning of the Jones Act. Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws are intended to facilitate compliance with this requirement and may have an adverse effect on holders of shares of our common stock.

Under the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, the aggregate percentage of ownership by non-U.S. citizens of any class of our capital stock is limited to 22.5% of the outstanding shares of each such class to ensure that such ownership by non-U.S. citizens will not exceed the maximum percentage permitted by the Jones Act, which is presently 25%. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, under certain circumstances, to increase the foregoing permitted percentage by not more than 1.5%. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws further provide that any issuance or transfer of shares to non-U.S. citizens in excess of such permitted percentage shall be ineffective against us and that neither we nor our transfer agent shall register such purported issuance or transfer of shares to non-U.S. citizens or be required to recognize the purported transferee or owner as a stockholder of SEACOR Marine for any purpose whatsoever except to exercise our remedies. Any such excess shares in the hands of a non-U.S. citizen shall not have any voting or dividend rights and are subject to redemption by us in our discretion. The liquidity or market value of the shares of common stock may be adversely impacted by such transfer restrictions.

As a result of the above provisions, a proposed transferee of our common stock that is a non-U.S. citizen may not receive any return on its investment in shares it purportedly purchases or owns, as the case may be, and it may sustain a loss. We, in our discretion, are entitled to redeem all or any portion of such shares most recently acquired (as determined by our board of directors in accordance with guidelines set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws) by non-U.S. citizens in excess of such maximum permitted percentage for such class or series at a redemption price based on a fair market value formula that is set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which may be paid in cash or promissory notes at our discretion. Such excess shares shall also not be accorded any voting, dividend or distribution rights until they have ceased to be excess shares, provided that they have not been already redeemed by us. As a result of these provisions, a purported stockholder who is not a U.S. citizen within the meaning of the Jones Act may be required to sell its shares of common stock at an undesirable time or price and may not receive any return on its investment in such shares. Further, we may have to incur additional indebtedness, or use available cash (if any), to fund all or a portion of such redemption, in which case our financial position may be materially weakened.

So that we may ensure our compliance with the Jones Act, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws permit us to require that owners of any shares of our capital stock provide confirmation of their citizenship. In the event that a person does not submit such documentation to us, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide us with certain remedies, including the suspension of the payment of dividends and distributions with respect to those shares and deposit of any such dividends and distributions into an escrow account. As a result of non-compliance with these provisions, an owner of our common stock may lose significant rights associated with those shares.

In addition to the risks described above, the foregoing restrictions on ownership by non-U.S. citizens could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.

Our U.S.-flag vessels are subject to requisition for ownership or use by the United States in case of national emergency or national defense need.

The Merchant Marine Act of 1936 provides that, during a national emergency declared by Presidential proclamation or a period for which the President has proclaimed that the security of the national defense makes it advisable, the Secretary of Transportation may requisition the ownership or use of any vessel owned by U.S. citizens (which includes us) and any vessel under construction in the United States. If any of our vessels were purchased or chartered by the federal government under this law, we would be entitled to just compensation, which is generally the fair market value of the vessel in the case of a purchase or, in the case of a charter, the fair market value of charter hire, but we would not be entitled to compensation for any consequential damages we may suffer. The purchase or charter for an extended period of time by the federal government of one or more of our vessels under this law could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

We may not be fully indemnified by our customers for damage to their property or the property of their other contractors.

Our contracts are individually negotiated, and the levels of indemnity and allocation of liabilities in them can vary from contract to contract depending on market conditions, particular customer requirements and other factors existing at the time a

contract is negotiated. Additionally, the enforceability of indemnification provisions in our contracts may be limited or prohibited by applicable law or may not be enforced by courts having jurisdiction, and we could be held liable for substantial losses or damages and for fines and penalties imposed by regulatory authorities. The indemnification provisions of our contracts may be subject to differing interpretations, and the laws or courts of certain jurisdictions may enforce such provisions while other laws or courts may find them to be unenforceable, void or limited by public policy considerations, including when the cause of the underlying loss or damage is our gross negligence or willful misconduct, when punitive damages are attributable to us or when fines or penalties are imposed directly against us. The law with respect to the enforceability of indemnities varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Current or future litigation in particular jurisdictions, whether or not we are a party, may impact the interpretation and enforceability of indemnification provisions in our contracts. There can be no assurance that our contracts with our customers, suppliers and subcontractors will fully protect us against all hazards and risks inherent in our operations. There can also be no assurance that those parties with contractual obligations to indemnify us will be financially able to do so or will otherwise honor their contractual obligations.

We may not be able to sell vessels to improve our cash flow and liquidity because we may be unable to locate buyers with access to financing or to complete any sales on acceptable terms or within a reasonable timeframe.

We may seek to sell some of our vessels to provide liquidity and cash flow. However, given the current downturn in the oil and gas industry, there may not be sufficient activity in the market to sell our vessels and we may not be able to identify buyers with access to financing or to complete any such sales. Even if we are able to locate appropriate buyers for our vessels, any sales may occur on less favorable terms than the terms that might be available in a more liquid market or at other times in the business cycle. In addition, the terms of our current and future indebtedness may limit our ability to sell assets, including vessels, or require that we use the proceeds from any such sale in specified manner.

We may be unable to collect amounts owed to us by our customers.

We typically grant our customers credit on a short-term basis. Related credit risks are inherent as we do not typically collateralize receivables due from customers. In addition, many of our international customers are state controlled and, as a result, our receivables may be subject to local political priorities, which are out of our control. We provide estimates for uncollectible accounts based primarily on our judgment using historical losses, current economic conditions and individual evaluations of each customer as evidence supporting the receivables valuations stated on our financial statements. However, our receivables valuation estimates may not be accurate and receivables due from customers reflected in our financial statements may not be collectible. Our inability to perform under our contractual obligations, or our customers’ inability or unwillingness to fulfill their contractual commitments to us, may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We participate in joint ventures, and our investments in joint ventures could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority and disputes between our partners and us.

We participate in domestic and international joint ventures to further expand our capabilities, share risks and gain access to local markets. Due to the nature of joint venture arrangements, we do not unilaterally control the operating, strategic and financial policies of these business ventures. Decisions are often made on a collective basis, including the purchase and sale of assets, charter arrangements with customers and cash distributions to partners. In addition, joint ventures can often require unanimous approval of the parties to the joint venture or their representatives for certain fundamental decisions, which means that each joint venture party may have a veto right with respect to such decisions, which could lead to deadlock in the operations of the joint venture or partnership. Moreover, decisions made by the managers or the boards of these entities may not always be the decision that is most beneficial to us as one of the equity holders of the entity and may be contrary to our objectives and may limit our ability to transfer our interests. Investments in joint ventures involve risks that would not be present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that our co-ventures might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Any failure of such other companies to meet their obligations to us or to third parties, or any disputes with respect to the parties’ respective rights and obligations, could have a material adverse effect on the joint ventures or their properties and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our participation in industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension plans expose us to potential future losses.

Certain of our subsidiaries are participating employers in two industry-wide, multi-employer defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., the U.K. Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”) and the U.K. Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). Among other risks associated with multi-employer plans, contributions and unfunded obligations of the multi-employer plan are shared by the plan participants. As a result, we may inherit unfunded obligations if other plan participants withdraw from the plan or cease to participate, and in the event that we withdraw from participation in one or both of these plans, we may be required to pay the plan an amount based on our allocable share of the underfunded status of the plan. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the plans could experience further deficits that will require funding from us, which would negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Negative publicity may adversely impact us.

Media coverage and public statements that insinuate improper actions by us, regardless of their factual accuracy or truthfulness, may result in negative publicity, litigation or governmental investigations by regulators. Addressing negative publicity and any resulting litigation or investigations may distract management, increase costs and divert resources. Negative publicity may have an adverse impact on our reputation and the morale of our employees, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or growth prospects.

Our operations are subject to certain foreign currency, interest rate, fixed-income, equity and commodity price risks.

We are exposed to certain foreign currency, interest rate, fixed-income, equity and commodity price risks and, although some of these risks may be hedged, fluctuations could impact our financial position and our results of operations. We have, and anticipate that we will continue to have, contracts denominated in foreign currencies. It is often not practicable for us to effectively hedge the entire risk of significant changes in currency rates during a contract period. Our financial position and our results of operations have been negatively impacted for certain periods and positively impacted for other periods, and may continue to be affected to a material extent by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For example, further strengthening of the U.S. dollar could give rise to reduced prices from shipyards and incentivize additional investment in new equipment notwithstanding the current state of the market. Our financial position and our results of operations may also be affected by the cost of hedging activities that we undertake. Volatility in the financial markets and overall economic uncertainty also increase the risk that the actual amounts realized in the future on our debt and equity instruments could differ significantly from the fair values currently assigned to them. In addition, changes in interest rates may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Specifically, rising interest rates, including a potential rapid rise in interest rates, could increase our cost of capital.

We engage in hedging activities which expose us to risks.

We have in the past and may in the future use futures and swaps to hedge risks, such as escalation in fuel costs and movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Hedging activities can themselves result in losses when a position is purchased in a declining market or a position is sold in a rising market. We may also purchase fuel in larger than usual levels to lock in costs when we believe there may be large increases in the price of fuel. Such purchases expose us to risks of meeting margin calls and drawing on our capital, counterparty risk due to failure of an exchange or institution with which we have entered into a swap, incurring higher costs than competitors or similar businesses that do not engage in such strategies, and losses on its investment portfolio. Such strategies can also cause earnings to be volatile. If we fail to offset such volatility, our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to execute our growth strategy may be adversely affected.

Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could have an adverse effect on our business.

Attracting and retaining skilled personnel is an important factor in our future success. The market for qualified personnel is highly competitive and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel in the future.

Our employees are covered by federal laws that may subject us to job-related claims in addition to those provided by state laws.

Some of our employees are covered by provisions of the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act and general maritime law. These laws preempt state workers’ compensation laws and permit these employees and their representatives to pursue actions against employers for job-related incidents in federal courts based on tort theories. Because we are not generally protected by the damage limits imposed by state workers’ compensation statutes for these types of claims, we may have greater exposure for any claims made by these employees.

Our success depends on key members of our management, the loss of whom could disrupt our business operations.

We depend to a large extent on the efforts and continued employment of our executive officers and key management personnel. We do not maintain key-man insurance. The loss of services of one or more of our executive officers or key management personnel could have a negative impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on information technology, and if we are unable to protect against service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be negatively affected.

We rely on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit and store electronic and financial information; to capture knowledge of our business; to coordinate our business across our operation bases; and to communicate within our organization and with customers, suppliers, partners and other third-parties. These information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns, hardware or software failures, power outages, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, telecommunication failures, user errors or catastrophic events.

Our information technology systems are becoming increasingly integrated, so damage, disruption or shutdown to the system could result in a more widespread impact. If our information technology systems suffer severe damage, disruption or

shutdown, and our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be negatively affected. In addition, cyber-attacks could lead to potential unauthorized access and disclosure of confidential information, data loss and corruption. There is no assurance that we will not experience these service interruptions or cyber-attacks in the future. Further, as the methods of cyber-attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks.

The early termination of contracts on our vessels could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Most of the long-term contracts for our vessels contain early termination options in favor of the customer. Although some have early termination remedies or other provisions designed to discourage the customer from exercising such options, we cannot assure you that our customers would not choose to exercise their termination rights in spite of such remedies or the threat of litigation with us. Until replacement of such business with other customers, any termination could temporarily disrupt our business or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We might not be able to replace such business on economically equivalent terms. In addition, during the current and prior downturns, we have experienced customers requesting contractual concessions even though such concessions were contrary to existing contractual terms. While we may not be legally required to give concessions, commercial considerations may dictate that we do so. If we are unable to collect amounts owed to us or long-term contracts for our vessels are terminated and our vessels are not sufficiently utilized, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected.

An outbreak of any contagious disease, such as Ebola, H1N1 Flu or the Zika Virus, may adversely affect our business and operations.

The outbreak of diseases, such as Ebola, H1N1 Flu (commonly referred to as Swine Flu) or the Zika Virus, has in the past curtailed and may in the future curtail travel to and from certain countries or geographic regions. Restrictions on travel to and from these countries or other regions due to additional incidences of communicable diseases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price and SEACOR Holdings stock price may fluctuate significantly, and you may not be able to sell your shares at an attractive price.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, including:


•	market conditions in the broader stock market;


•	our capital structure;


•	commodity prices and in particular prices of oil and natural gas;


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial condition and results of operations;


•	introduction of new equipment or services by us or our competitors;


•	issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;


•	sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock;


•	additions or departures of key personnel;


•	the ability or willingness of OPEC to set and maintain production levels for oil;


•	oil and gas production levels by non-OPEC countries;


•	regulatory or political developments;


•	litigation and governmental investigations; and


•	changing economic conditions.

These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business. Despite the belief of SEACOR Holdings board of directors, we cannot assure you that following the spin-off, the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock will ever equal or exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock.

Your percentage of ownership in us may be diluted in the future.

As with any publicly traded company, your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including equity awards that we expect will be granted to our directors, officers and employees. In addition, your percentage ownership in us will be diluted if any of the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes exercise their right to convert the principal amount of their outstanding notes, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock. After the spin-off, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes are entitled to convert the principal amount of their outstanding notes into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 23.26 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes through November 29, 2022. We have granted the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes certain registration rights.

There is no existing market for our common stock, and we do not know if one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity, and following the separation, our stock price may fluctuate significantly.

Prior to the separation, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of a trading market on the NYSE or how liquid that market may become. It is anticipated that on or shortly prior to the record date for the distribution of our common stock, trading of shares of our common stock would begin on a “when-issued” basis and such trading would continue up to and including the distribution date. However, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop as a result of the separation or be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market may make it more difficult for you to sell our shares and could lead to the share price for our common stock being depressed or more volatile.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our stock or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade recommendations regarding our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline and such decline could be material.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.

The shares of our common stock that SEACOR Holdings will distribute to its stockholders in the distribution generally may be sold immediately in the public market. SEACOR Holdings stockholders could sell our common stock received in the distribution if we do not fit their investment objectives, such as minimum market capitalization requirements, or, in the case of index funds, if we are not part of the index in which they invest. In addition, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes could sell a significant amount of shares of our common stock upon conversion of their notes. If substantial amounts of our common stock are sold in the public market following consummation of the separation, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that shares of common stock will be sold in the public market could also depress our market price. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

For as long as we are an “Emerging Growth Company,” we will be exempt from certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for “Emerging Growth Companies,” including certain requirements relating to accounting standards and compensation disclosure. We are classified as an “Emerging Growth Company,” which is defined as a company with annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion, that has been a public reporting company for a period of less than five years, and that does not have a public float of $700 million or more in securities held by non-affiliated holders. For as long as we are an “Emerging Growth Company,” which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, unless we elect not to take advantage of applicable JOBS Act provisions, we will not be required to (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), such as requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise, (v) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (vi) hold stockholder advisory and other votes on executive compensation. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less

attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

As noted above, under the JOBS Act, “Emerging Growth Companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We do not intend to take advantage of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will be obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting and will be subject to other requirements that will be burdensome and costly. We may not timely complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting, or these internal controls may be determined to be ineffective, which could adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

As an independent, publicly traded company, we believe that our business will benefit from, among other things, allowing us to better focus our financial and operational resources on our specific business, allowing our management to design and implement corporate strategies and policies that are based primarily on the business characteristics and strategic decisions of our business, allowing us to more effectively respond to industry dynamics and allowing the creation of effective incentives for our management and employees that are more closely tied to our business performance. However, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we believe we can achieve as an independent company in the time we expect, if at all.

We have historically operated our business as a segment of a public company. Following consummation of the separation, we will be required to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in Section 13 of the Exchange Act. We will also be required to ensure that we have the ability to prepare financial statements that are fully compliant with all SEC reporting requirements on a timely basis. In addition, we will become subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements, including the requirements of the NYSE, and certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which will impose significant compliance obligations upon us. As a public company, we will be required to:


•	prepare and distribute periodic public reports and other stockholder communications in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and NYSE rules;


•	create or expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees of the board of directors;


•	institute more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance functions;


•	supplement our internal accounting and auditing function, including hiring additional staff with expertise in accounting and financial reporting for a public company;


•	enhance and formalize closing procedures at the end of our accounting periods;


•	enhance our internal audit function;


•	enhance our investor relations function;


•	establish new internal policies, including those relating to disclosure controls and procedures; and


•	involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the activities listed above.

These changes will require a significant commitment of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements and implementing them could adversely affect our business or results of operations. In addition, if we fail to implement the requirements with respect to our internal accounting and audit functions, our ability to report our results of operations on a timely and accurate basis could be impaired.

Our internal control over financial reporting may not fully meet the standards for an independent public company required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”), and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our internal controls were developed when we were a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings. As such, they may not fully meet the standards for an independent public company that are required by Section 404. We will have to meet such standards in the course of preparing our future financial statements. While we have established controls as a result of being a segment of a larger public company, certain functions, and the controls surrounding those functions, have been designed, documented and tested by SEACOR Holdings and not by us. In addition, the tests of our controls have been performed in the context of testing SEACOR Holdings controls in accordance with Section 404 and may not be sufficient for our purposes as a public company after the spin-off. As such, a test of our internal controls in accordance with Section 404 cannot be performed at this time. Our compliance with Section 404 is expected to be first reported in connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year that we are a public company after the spin-off.

We are currently in the early stages of addressing our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, which requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will incur additional costs in order to improve our internal control over financial reporting and comply with Section 404, including increased auditing and legal fees and costs associated with hiring additional accounting and administrative staff. If we are unable to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, may suffer adverse regulatory consequences or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules and may breach the covenants under our credit facilities. There could also be a negative reaction in the price of our common stock due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, may depress the trading price of our common stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include certain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or changes in our management, including, among other things:


•	restrictions on the ability of our stockholders to fill a vacancy on the board of directors;


•	restrictions related to the ability of non-U.S. citizens owning our common stock;


•	our ability to issue preferred stock with terms that the board of directors may determine, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;


•	the absence of cumulative voting in the election of directors which may limit the ability of minority stockholders to elect directors; and


•	advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from soliciting proxies to elect a particular slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

These provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company that is in the best interest of our stockholders. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if they are viewed as discouraging future takeover attempts.

We do not expect to pay dividends to holders of our common stock.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to repay indebtedness and to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay any dividends to holders of our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation in the price of our common stock, if any, will be your only source of gain or income on an investment in our common stock. See “Dividend Policy.”

Risk Factors Relating to the Spin-Off

Our historical financial information may not be representative of the results we would have achieved as a stand-alone public company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

The historical financial information that we have included in this Information Statement may not necessarily reflect what our financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had we been an independent entity during the periods presented or those that we will achieve in the future. The costs and expenses reflected in our historical financial information include an allocation for certain corporate functions historically provided by SEACOR Holdings, that may be different from the comparable expenses that we would have incurred had we operated as a stand-alone company. Our historical financial information does not reflect changes that will occur in our cost structure, financing and operations as a result of our transition to becoming a stand-alone public company, including changes in our cash management, employee base, potential increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale and increased costs associated with SEC reporting and NYSE requirements.

In connection with and following consummation of the separation, we will rely on SEACOR Holdings’ performance under various agreements and we will continue to be dependent on SEACOR Holdings to provide us with support services for our business. In addition, SEACOR Holdings will rely on our performance under various agreements.

We expect to enter or have entered into various agreements with SEACOR Holdings in connection with the separation, including two Transition Services Agreements, a Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement. These agreements will govern our relationship with SEACOR Holdings subsequent to the separation including administrative, and similar services that each company will provide to the other under the Transition Services Agreements. It is

possible that if SEACOR Holdings were to fail to fulfill its obligations under these agreements we could suffer operational difficulties or significant losses.

If we are required to indemnify SEACOR Holdings for certain liabilities and related losses arising in connection with any of these agreements, we may be subject to substantial liabilities, which could materially adversely affect our financial position. Specifically, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, we and SEACOR Holdings are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause SEACOR Holdings to be released from any guarantees it has given to third-parties on our behalf or on behalf of our 50% or less owned companies. If SEACOR Holdings is not released under any of these guarantees, we are required to indemnify SEACOR Holdings for any liabilities incurred as a guarantor. As of September 30, 2016, the amount of obligations that SEACOR Holdings has guaranteed on our behalf or on behalf of our 50% or less owned companies was $148.1 million.

Historically, our business has been conducted as a segment of SEACOR Holdings, and certain support services required for the operation of our business are currently provided to us by SEACOR Holdings and its subsidiaries and upon consummation of the spin-off, we will provide SEACOR Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries with certain administrative functions. Under the terms of the Transition Services Agreements, we and SEACOR Holdings will continue to provide each other these support services on an interim basis following the spin-off. We expect these services to be provided for varying durations but no greater than two years.

Although SEACOR Holdings is contractually obligated to provide us with services during the term of the agreement, we cannot assure you that the services will be performed as efficiently or proficiently after the expiration of the agreement, or that we will be able to replace these services in a timely manner or on comparable terms. They also contain provisions that may be more favorable than terms and provisions we might have obtained in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties. When SEACOR Holdings ceases to provide services pursuant to the agreement, our costs of procuring those services from third parties may increase. In addition, we may not be able to replace these services or enter into appropriate third-party agreements on terms and conditions, including cost, comparable to those under the SEACOR Holdings Transition Services Agreement (as defined below). Although we intend to replace some of the services that will be provided by SEACOR Holdings under the SEACOR Holdings Transition Services Agreement, we may encounter difficulties replacing certain services or be unable to negotiate pricing or other terms as favorable as those we currently have in effect. To the extent that we may require additional support from SEACOR Holdings not addressed in the SEACOR Holdings Transition Services Agreement, we would need to negotiate the terms of receiving such corporate support in future agreements. Further, if we fail to perform under the SEACOR Marine Transition Services Agreement, depending upon the circumstance surrounding the failure, we may become liable to SEACOR Holdings for damages. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions-Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation.”

We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the spin-off, and the separation could harm our business.

We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the separation, or such benefits may be delayed or not occur at all. The spin-off and distribution is expected to provide the following benefits, among others: enhanced strategic and management focus, improved management incentive tools and a distinct investment identity. For more information regarding the reasons for the spin-off, see “The Spin-Off–Reasons for the Spin-Off.”

We may not achieve these and other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others:


•	the separation will require significant amounts of management’s time and effort and the complexity of the transaction may distract management from executing on its business goals;


•	increased operating and overhead costs in the aggregate;


•	following the spin-off, our business will be less diversified than SEACOR Holdings business prior to the separation;


•	the potential loss of synergies from the spin-off; and


•	the other actions required to separate the respective businesses could disrupt our operations.

If we fail to achieve some or all of the benefits expected to result from the spin-off, or if such benefits are delayed, our business could be harmed.

As an independent, publicly traded company, we may not enjoy the same benefits that we did as a segment of SEACOR Holdings.

There is a risk that, by separating from SEACOR Holdings, we may become more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than we would have been if we were still a part of the current SEACOR Holdings organizational structure. As part of SEACOR Holdings, we have been able to enjoy certain benefits from SEACOR Holdings’ diverse operations, available capital for investments and opportunities to pursue integrated strategies with SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses. As an independent, publicly traded company, we will not have similar diversity, available capital or integration opportunities and may not have similar access to capital markets.

Our ability to meet our capital needs may be harmed by the loss of financial support from SEACOR Holdings, and the lack of availability of capital in the future may affect our ability to grow our business.

Our business is capital intensive, and to the extent we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to execute our growth strategy. The loss of financial support from SEACOR Holdings could harm our ability to meet our capital needs and significantly increase our cost of capital. Adequate sources of capital funding may not be available when needed, or may not be available on favorable terms.

Upon consummation of the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings will no longer be available to fund our operations or capital expenditures and in view of our small relative size as compared with SEACOR Holdings, we may not have access to debt financing and, even if we do have access, may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as SEACOR Holdings has been able to achieve in its debt financings. As a result, we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to obtain capital market financing or credit on favorable terms, or at all, in the future. We cannot assure you that our ability to meet our capital needs will not be harmed by the loss of financial support from SEACOR Holdings.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or certain types of convertible debt securities, dilution to the holdings of our existing stockholders may result. If we raise additional debt financing, we will incur additional interest expense and the terms of such debt may be at less favorable rates than existing debt and could require the pledge of assets as security or subject us to financial and/or operating covenants that affect our ability to conduct our business. Any capital raising activities would be subject to the restrictions in the Tax Matters Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation–Tax Matters Agreement” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, or we are unable to conduct capital raising activities as a result of restrictions in the Tax Matters Agreement, we may be unable to acquire additional vessels, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and our growth strategy.

The SEACOR Holdings board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, modify or abandon the distribution at any time prior to the distribution. In addition, the distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (by SEACOR Holdings, in its sole discretion) of a number of conditions. We cannot assure that any or all of these conditions will be met.

The SEACOR Holdings board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, modify or abandon the distribution at any time prior to the distribution date. SEACOR Holdings may cancel or delay the distribution if at any time SEACOR Holdings determines that the distribution of SEACOR Marine common stock is not in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings or its stockholders. If SEACOR Holdings determines to cancel the distribution, shareholders of SEACOR Holdings will not receive any distribution of our common stock, and SEACOR Holdings will be under no obligation whatsoever to its shareholders to distribute such shares. In addition, the distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (by SEACOR Holdings, in its sole discretion) of a number of conditions. See “The Spin-Off–Conditions to the Spin-Off.” We cannot assure that any or all of these conditions will be met. The fulfillment of the conditions to the distribution will not create any obligation on SEACOR Holdings’ part to effect the spin-off.

If, following the completion of the separation, there is a determination that the separation is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings underlying the tax opinion are incorrect or for any other reason, then SEACOR Holdings, its stockholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax and SEACOR Marine could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.

The distribution is conditioned upon SEACOR Holdings’ receipt of an opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel to SEACOR Holdings, substantially to the effect that the separation qualifies as a transaction that is described in Section 355 of the Code. The opinion will rely on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from SEACOR Holdings and us regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, SEACOR Holdings and its stockholders may not be able to rely on the opinion of counsel and could be subject to significant tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the opinion of counsel, the IRS could determine on audit that the separation is taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinion, or for other reasons, including as a result of certain significant changes in the stock ownership of SEACOR Holdings or us after the separation. If the separation is determined to be taxable, SEACOR Holdings, its stockholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax and SEACOR Marine could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.

Prior to the separation, we and SEACOR Holdings will enter into the Tax Matters Agreement that will govern the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation in respect of tax matters. Taxes relating to or arising out of the failure of the separation to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be borne by SEACOR Holdings, except, in general, if such failure is attributable to our action or inaction or SEACOR Holdings action or

inaction, as the case may be, or any event (or series of events) involving our assets or stock or the assets or stock of SEACOR Holdings, as the case may be, in which case the resulting liability will be borne in full by us or SEACOR Holdings, respectively.

Our obligations under the Tax Matters Agreement are not limited in amount or subject to any cap. Further, even if we are not responsible for tax liabilities of SEACOR Holdings and its subsidiaries under the Tax Matters Agreement, we nonetheless could be liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities if SEACOR Holdings were to fail to pay them. If we are required to pay any liabilities under the circumstances set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement or pursuant to applicable tax law, the amounts may be significant.

We may not be able to engage in certain corporate transactions for a period of time after the separation.

To preserve the tax-free treatment to SEACOR Holdings of the separation, under the Tax Matters Agreement that we will enter into with SEACOR Holdings, we may not take any action that would jeopardize the favorable tax treatment of the distribution. These restrictions may limit our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions or engage in other transactions that might increase the value of our business for the two-year period following the separation. For more information, see the sections entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation–Tax Matters Agreement” and “The Spin-Off–Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

A number of our directors and executive officers own common stock and other equity instruments of SEACOR Holdings, which could cause conflicts of interests.

A number of our directors and officers own a substantial amount of SEACOR Holdings common stock along with other equity instruments, the value of which is related to the value of SEACOR Holdings common stock. The direct and indirect interests of our directors and officers in SEACOR Holdings common stock and the presence of certain of SEACOR Holdings principal executives on our board of directors could create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving both us and SEACOR Holdings that could have different implications for SEACOR Holdings than they do for us. As a result, we may be precluded from pursuing certain opportunities on which we would otherwise act, including growth opportunities.

We do not intend to adopt specific policies or procedures to address conflicts of interests that may arise as a result of certain of our directors and officers owning SEACOR Holdings common stock. However, prior to consummation of the distribution, we will adopt a Related Person Transactions Policy to provide guidance in identifying, reviewing and, where appropriate, approving or ratifying transactions with related persons. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Related Party Transactions–Related Person Transactions Policy.” In addition, prior to consummation of the distribution, we will adopt separate Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Supplemental Code of Ethics that will provide guidelines to our executive officers and directors in addressing conflicts of interest. See “Management–Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.”

The spin-off may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements.

The distribution is subject to review under various state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws. Fraudulent conveyance laws generally provide that an entity engages in a constructive fraudulent conveyance when (i) the entity transfers assets and does not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in return, and (ii) the entity (a) is insolvent at the time of the transfer or is rendered insolvent by the transfer, (b) has unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business, or (c) intends to incur or believes it will incur debts beyond its ability to repay its debts as they mature. An unpaid creditor or an entity acting on behalf of a creditor (including without limitation a trustee or debtor-in-possession in a bankruptcy by us or SEACOR Holdings or any of our respective subsidiaries) may bring an action alleging that the distribution or any of the related transactions constituted a constructive fraudulent conveyance. If a court accepts these allegations, it could impose a number of remedies, including without limitation, voiding our claims against SEACOR Holdings, requiring our shareholders to return to SEACOR Holdings some or all of the shares of our common stock issued in the distribution, or providing SEACOR Holdings with a claim for money damages against us in an amount equal to the difference between the consideration received by SEACOR Holdings and the fair market value of our company at the time of the distribution.

The measure of insolvency for purposes of the fraudulent conveyance laws will vary depending on which jurisdiction’s law is applied. Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if (i) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities); (ii) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than its probable liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured; (iii) it cannot pay its debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) as they mature; or (iv) it has unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged. We cannot assure you what standard a court would apply to determine insolvency or that a court would determine that we, SEACOR Holdings or any of our respective subsidiaries were solvent at the time of or after giving effect to the distribution.

The distribution of our common stock is also subject to review under state corporate distribution statutes. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), a corporation may only pay dividends to its shareholders either (i) out of its surplus (net assets minus capital) or (ii) if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend

is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Although SEACOR Holdings intends to make the distribution of our common stock entirely from surplus, we cannot assure you that a court will not later determine that some or all of the distribution to SEACOR Holdings shareholders was unlawful.

Prior to the distribution, as a condition to the distribution, the SEACOR Holdings board of directors will have obtained an opinion from a nationally recognized provider of such opinions that SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each be solvent and adequately capitalized immediately after the separation. We cannot assure you, however, that a court would reach the same conclusions set forth in such opinion in determining whether SEACOR Holdings or we were insolvent at the time of, or whether lawful funds were available for the separation and the distribution to SEACOR Holdings shareholders.

The combined post-separation value of SEACOR Holdings common stock and SEACOR Marine common stock may not equal or exceed the pre-separation value of SEACOR Holdings common stock.

As a result of the distribution, SEACOR Holdings expects the trading price of SEACOR Holdings common stock immediately following the distribution to be lower than the “regular-way” trading price of such common stock immediately prior to the distribution because the trading price will no longer reflect the value of the offshore marine services business held by SEACOR Marine. The aggregate market value of the SEACOR Holdings common stock and the SEACOR Marine common stock following the separation may be higher or lower than the market value of the SEACOR Holdings common stock immediately prior to the separation.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements appearing in this Information Statement constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements in this Information Statement. Such risks or uncertainties may give rise to future claims and increase exposure to contingent liabilities. These risks and uncertainties arise from (among other things) the factors described under “Risk Factors” and the following:


•	volatility in worldwide demand for oil and natural gas and related prices;


•	adverse trends in the oil and gas exploration, development and production industry, including increased preference for newer or unconventional opportunities such as shale;


•	the failure to maintain an acceptable safety record;


•	the loss of a major customer;


•	consolidation of our customer base;


•	the inability to maintain or replace our vessels as they age;


•	the inability to complete the separation due to the failure to satisfy conditions to completion of such transaction, including required regulatory approvals;


•	the failure of the separation to occur for any other reason;


•	the effect of the separation on our business relationships, operating results and business generally;


•	the less diversified nature of our business and operations after the separation;


•	general competitive, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations;


•	actions taken, laws and regulations enacted, or conditions imposed by the U.S. and foreign governments;


•	regulatory changes that adversely affect our business; and


•	adverse outcomes of pending or threatened litigation or government investigations.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Information Statement. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Information Statement are made only as of the date of this Information Statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise.

THE SPIN-OFF

General

The board of directors of SEACOR Holdings, our parent company, has announced its intention to spin-off SEACOR Marine as an independent, publicly traded company, to be accomplished by means of a pro rata dividend of all of our common stock to SEACOR Holdings stockholders. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings will no longer own any equity interest in us, and we will operate as an independent, publicly traded company. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.”

SEACOR Holdings currently owns all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, which is the only class of capital stock we have outstanding. We expect approximately 17.7 million shares of our common stock will be distributed in the spin-off. We will not distribute any fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock.

On , 2016, the distribution date, each stockholder holding shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock that were outstanding as of , 2016, the record date, will be entitled to receive, in respect of each share of SEACOR Holdings common stock, shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which assumes that holders of SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. SEACOR Holdings stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that they would have received after application of this ratio. Immediately following the distribution, SEACOR Holdings stockholders will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of SEACOR Marine and SEACOR Holdings will not hold any of our outstanding capital stock. You will not be required to make any payment, surrender or exchange your common shares of SEACOR Holdings or take any other action to receive your shares of SEACOR Marine common stock.

Holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock will continue to hold their shares in SEACOR Holdings. We do not require and are not seeking a vote of SEACOR Holdings stockholders in connection with the spin-off, and SEACOR Holdings shareholders will not have any appraisal rights in connection with the spin-off.

Before the distribution, we will enter into the Distribution Agreement and other agreements with SEACOR Holdings to effect the distribution and provide a framework for our relationship with SEACOR Holdings after the distribution. These agreements will govern the relationship between us and SEACOR Holdings up to and subsequent to the completion of the distribution. We describe these arrangements in greater detail under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation” and describe some of the risks of these arrangements under “Risk Factors–Risk Factors Relating to the Spin-Off.”

The distribution of shares of our common stock as described in this Information Statement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. In addition, SEACOR Holdings has the right not to complete the spin-off if, at any time prior to the distribution, its board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the spin-off is not in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings or its stockholders, or that it is not advisable for us to separate from SEACOR Holdings. For a more detailed description of these conditions, see “–Conditions to the Spin-off.”

Reasons for the Spin-off

SEACOR Holdings regularly reviews and evaluates the various businesses it operates and the fit that these businesses have within its overall portfolio to help ensure that resources are being put to use in a manner that is in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings and its stockholders. The separation of SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings and the distribution of SEACOR Marine stock are intended to provide you with equity ownership in two separate, publicly traded companies that will be able to focus on each of their respective operating priorities and business strategies. This determination was made based on the SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors’ belief that the separation of our business from SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would be the most efficient manner to distribute the business to SEACOR Holdings stockholders, and that separating us from SEACOR Holdings would provide financial, operational and managerial benefits to both SEACOR Holdings and us, including but not limited to the following:

•

would be more interested in pursuing transactions in which they received stock whose value is not tied, in part, to the offshore marine services business.

•

Respective Management Teams Better Able to Focus on Business Operations. The separation will enable the management of each company to devote its time and attention to the development and implementation of corporate strategies and policies that are tailored to their respective businesses. Management’s strategies will be based on the specific business characteristics of the respective companies, without the need to consider the effects those decisions may have on the other businesses. SEACOR Holdings management spends significant time determining strategic, financial and operational requirements of each business, and how the company’s defined pool of capital will be allocated among its businesses. SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that the spin-off will allow each management team to focus on its respective priorities, increasing SEACOR Holdings’ and SEACOR Marine’s efficiency, productivity and leadership satisfaction.

•

Improved Management Incentive Tools. We expect to use equity-based incentive awards to compensate current and future employees. SEACOR Holdings believes that future compensation of our employees in the form of SEACOR Holdings equity does not serve the desired purpose of incentivizing our employees to maximize our profits because the relative performance and size of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would have a significant impact on the value of SEACOR Holdings equity-based compensation issued to our employees. Following the spin-off, appreciation in the value of shares underlying our equity-based awards granted to our employees will no longer be impacted by the performance of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses. Rather, equity-based incentive awards granted to our employees will be tied directly to our performance, providing employees with incentives more closely linked to the achievement of our specific performance objectives. This will better align our employee interests with the interests of our stockholders. Certain members of our senior management have expressed a strong preference for receiving equity compensation tied solely to our performance. We believe that offering equity compensation tied directly to our performance will assist in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

•

Enhanced Strategic and Operational Capabilities. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each have a more focused business and be better able to dedicate financial, managerial and other resources to leverage their respective areas of strength and differentiation. Each company will pursue appropriate growth opportunities and execute strategic plans best suited to address the distinct market trends and opportunities for its business. SEACOR Holdings has a defined pool of capital with which to develop its businesses and pursue new projects. Separating SEACOR Marine will allow each business to make independent investment decisions based on its unique strategy and opportunities. We plan to focus on leveraging its strong liquidity, balance sheet and operational expertise to strategically grow through asset acquisitions. Without needing to compete with capital allocation needs of the other SEACOR Holdings businesses, we can opportunistically acquire offshore assets at attractive valuations, basing any investment decision solely on our independent long-term growth strategy.

In addition, the SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that: (i) following the spin-off, the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock should, over time and assuming favorable market conditions, exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock; (ii) the public markets and securities analysts have a difficult time evaluating SEACOR Holdings because of the inclusion of our business activities in its results; and (iii) public market participants and securities analysts may not fully understand each of the business units currently operated by SEACOR Holdings and it is more difficult to compare SEACOR Holdings to companies that are engaged in only one business. As a result of being in multiple businesses, SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors believes that: (i) the market value of SEACOR Holdings common stock does not accurately reflect the aggregate inherent value of its shipping, inland river and energy services businesses; (ii) by separating us from SEACOR Holdings and creating an independent company focused on offshore marine services, while retaining its other businesses, investors and analysts should be better able to understand the business strengths and future prospects of each company; and (iii) a higher aggregate stock price may facilitate growth through acquisitions. Despite the belief of the SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors, we cannot assure you that following the spin-off, the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock will ever equal or exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock and it is possible that our common stock will come under initial selling pressure which could affect the value of our common stock in the near term. See “Risk Factors–Risks Related to our Common Stock–Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.”

SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors also considered a number of potentially negative factors in evaluating the separation, including, in the case of both companies, the potential for the complexity of the transaction to distract management of each company from executing on its business goals, increased operating and overhead costs in the aggregate, disruptions to the businesses as a result of the separation, the potential loss of synergies, the risk of being unable to achieve expected benefits from the separation, the risk that the separation might not be completed, the initial costs of the separation and the ongoing costs of our operating as a separate, publicly traded company.

SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors considered several factors that might have a negative effect on SEACOR Holdings in particular as a result of the separation, including that the separation would eliminate from SEACOR Holdings the valuable offshore marine services business in a transaction that produces no direct economic consideration for SEACOR Holdings.

SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors also considered certain aspects of the separation that may be adverse to SEACOR Marine, including the loss of the ability to obtain capital resources from SEACOR Holdings and the limitations placed on SEACOR Marine as a result of the Tax Matters Agreement and other agreements it is expected to enter into with SEACOR Holdings in connection with the spin-off. In addition, SEACOR Marine’s common stock may come under temporary selling pressure in the short-term period following the spin-off as certain SEACOR Holdings stockholders may sell their shares in SEACOR Marine because SEACOR Marine, as a separate business, does not fit their investment priorities, such as minimum market capitalization requirements. Moreover, certain other near-term factors such as a lack of historical performance data as an independent company may initially limit investors’ ability to appropriately value SEACOR Marine’s common stock. See “Risk Factors–Risks Related to our Common Stock–Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.”

Notwithstanding these potentially negative factors, however, the board of directors of SEACOR Holdings determined that the separation was the best alternative to enhance stockholder value taking into account the factors discussed above.

In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with the evaluation of the separation and the complexity of these matters, SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the factors considered.

Manner of Effecting the Spin-off

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the spin-off will be effective as of 12:01 A.M., New York City Time, on , 2016, the distribution date. As a result of the spin-off, on the distribution date, each SEACOR Holdings stockholder will receive

shares of SEACOR Marine common stock for every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock owned by such holder and outstanding as of the record date, which assumes that holders of SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. SEACOR Holdings will not distribute any fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock to its shareholders. Instead, if you are a registered holder, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the distribution agent) will aggregate fractional shares into whole shares, sell the whole shares in the open market at prevailing market prices and distribute the aggregate cash proceeds (net of discounts and commissions) of the sales pro rata (based on the fractional share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) to each holder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share in the distribution. The distribution agent, in its sole discretion, without any influence by SEACOR Holdings or SEACOR Marine, will determine when, how, and through which broker-dealer and at what price to sell the whole shares. Any broker-dealer used by the distribution agent will not be an affiliate of either SEACOR Holdings or SEACOR Marine. Neither SEACOR Holdings nor SEACOR Marine will be able to guarantee any minimum sale price in connection with the sale of these shares. Recipients of cash in lieu of fractional shares will not be entitled to any interest on the amounts of payment made in lieu of fractional shares.

In order to receive shares of our common stock in the spin-off, a SEACOR Holdings stockholder must be a stockholder as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time on , 2016, the record date. The distribution will be pro rata to stockholders holding shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock that are outstanding as of the record date. SEACOR Holdings stockholders will not be required to make any payment, send any proxy or surrender or exchange their shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock or take any other action to receive their shares of our common stock.

See “–Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” for an explanation of the material tax consequences of the separation.

If you own shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time on , 2016, the record date, the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that you are entitled to receive will be issued electronically, as of the distribution date, to you or to your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership when no physical share certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. If you sell shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock in the market up to and including the distribution date, however, you may be selling your right to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution.

Commencing on or shortly after the distribution date, if you hold physical share certificates that represent your shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock and you are the registered holder of the SEACOR Holdings shares represented by those certificates, the distribution agent will mail to you an account statement that indicates the number of shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that have been registered in book-entry form in your name. See “–Results of Separation; Listing of SEACOR Marine Common Stock and Trading of SEACOR Holdings Common Stock.”

Most SEACOR Holdings stockholders hold their shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock through a bank or brokerage firm. In such cases, the bank or brokerage firm would be said to hold the shares in “street name” and ownership would be recorded on the bank or brokerage firm’s books. If you hold your shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock through a bank or brokerage firm, your bank or brokerage firm will credit your account for the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that you are entitled to receive in the distribution. If you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares held in “street name,” we encourage you to contact your bank or brokerage firm at any time following the approval of the separation.

SEACOR Holdings is expected to establish a “blackout period” beginning as early as , 2016 and continuing through , 2016, during which time no SEACOR Holdings employee stock options may vest or be exercised and no SEACOR Holdings shares will be repurchased by SEACOR Holdings. The number of shares of SEACOR Marine common stock to be distributed, and the number of shares of SEACOR Marine which will be outstanding immediately following the separation, will be approximately 17.7 million. The separation will not affect the number of outstanding shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock or any rights of SEACOR Holdings stockholders.

Conditions to the Spin-Off

The distribution is subject to a number of conditions, including the following:


•	the board of directors of SEACOR Holdings, in its sole and absolute discretion, will have authorized and approved the spin-off and not withdrawn such authorization and approval, and will have declared the dividend of our common stock to SEACOR Holdings stockholders;


•	the SEC will have declared effective our registration statement on Form 10, of which this Information Statement is a part, and no stop order relating to the registration statement shall be in effect;


•	SEACOR Holdings’ board of directors will have received an opinion from a nationally recognized provider of such opinions to the effect that SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each be solvent and adequately capitalized immediately after the separation;


•	the Distribution Agreement and each other agreement to be executed in connection with the spin-off will have been executed by each party thereto;


•	our common stock will have been accepted for listing on a national securities exchange approved by SEACOR Holdings, subject to official notice of issuance;


•	SEACOR Holdings will have received an opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel to SEACOR Holdings, substantially to the effect that the separation qualifies as a transaction that is described in Section 355 of the Code;


•	SEACOR Marine’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each as filed as exhibits to the Form 10 of which this Information Statement is a part, remain in effect;

•

no order, injunction or decree that would prevent the consummation of the distribution is threatened, pending or issued (and still in effect) by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, no other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the distribution is pending, threatened, issued or in effect and no other event has occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the distribution; and


•	any material governmental approvals and other consents necessary to consummate the spin-off have been obtained.

The fulfillment of the foregoing conditions will not create any obligation on SEACOR Holdings’ part to effect the spin-off. Except as described in the foregoing conditions, we are not aware of any material federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or any material approvals that must be obtained. SEACOR Holdings has the right not to complete the spin-off if, at any time prior to the distribution, the board of directors of SEACOR Holdings determines, in its sole discretion, that the spin-off is not in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings or its stockholders, or that it is not advisable for us to separate from SEACOR Holdings.

Results of the Separation; Listing of SEACOR Marine Common Stock and Trading of SEACOR Holdings Common Stock

We intend to apply to list SEACOR Marine’s common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.” We expect that a “when-issued” market in SEACOR Marine common stock may develop shortly prior to the record date, and we will announce the when-issued trading symbol of SEACOR Marine when and if it becomes available. When-issued trading refers to a sale or purchase made conditionally because the security has been authorized but not yet issued. The when-issued trading market will be a market for the SEACOR Marine common stock that will be distributed to SEACOR Holdings stockholders on the distribution date. If you own shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock at the close of business on the record date, you will be entitled to shares of SEACOR Marine common stock distributed pursuant to the separation. You may trade this entitlement to shares of SEACOR

Marine common stock, without the shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock you own, on the when-issued market. On the first trading day following the distribution date, we expect that when-issued trading with respect to SEACOR Marine common stock will end and regular-way trading will begin.

It is also anticipated that, shortly prior to the record date and continuing up to and including the distribution date, there will be two markets for SEACOR Holdings common stock: a “regular-way” market and an “ex-distribution” market. Shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock that trade on the regular-way market will trade with an entitlement to shares of SEACOR Marine common stock distributed pursuant to the distribution. Shares that trade on the ex-distribution market will trade without an entitlement to shares of SEACOR Marine common stock distributed pursuant to the distribution. Therefore, if you sell shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock in the regular-way market up to and including the distribution date, you will be selling your right to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution. However, if you own SEACOR Holdings common stock at the close of business on the record date and sell those shares on the ex-distribution market up to and including the distribution date, you will still receive the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the distribution.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the distribution by SEACOR Holdings of all of our outstanding common stock to its shareholders. This summary is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative interpretations of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations, all as in effect on the date of this Information Statement, and is subject to changes in these or other governing authorities, any of which may have a retroactive effect. This summary assumes that the separation will be consummated in accordance with the Distribution Agreement and as described in this Information Statement. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all U.S. federal income tax consequences of the separation nor does it address the effects of any state, local or foreign tax laws or U.S. federal tax laws other than those relating to income taxes on the separation. The tax treatment of a SEACOR Holdings shareholder may vary depending upon that shareholder’s particular situation, and certain shareholders (including, but not limited to, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, retirement plans, tax-deferred or other retirement accounts, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partners in partnerships that hold common shares in SEACOR Holdings, pass-through entities, traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, shareholders who hold their SEACOR Holdings common stock as part of a “hedge,” “straddle,” “conversion,” “synthetic security,” “integrated investment” or “constructive sale transaction,” shareholders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, individuals who received SEACOR Holdings common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, and shareholders who are subject to alternative minimum tax or the “Medicare” tax on net investment income) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This summary does not address U.S. federal income tax consequences to a SEACOR Holdings shareholder who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a non-resident alien individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership, or a foreign trust or estate. In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to those SEACOR Holdings shareholders who do not hold their SEACOR Holdings common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

Each shareholder is urged to consult the shareholder’s tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the distribution to that shareholder, including the effect of any U.S. federal, state or local or foreign tax laws and of changes in applicable tax laws.

The distribution is conditioned upon SEACOR Holdings’ receipt of an opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel to SEACOR Holdings, substantially to the effect that the separation qualifies as a transaction that is described in Section 355 of the Code. Such opinion will be based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as on the accuracy and completeness of certain representations and statements that SEACOR Holdings and we make to counsel. In rendering the opinion, counsel also will rely on certain covenants that SEACOR Holdings and we enter into, including the adherence by SEACOR Holdings and us to certain restrictions on future actions. If any of the assumptions, representations or statements that SEACOR Holdings and we make are, or become, inaccurate or incomplete, or if SEACOR Holdings or we breach any of our covenants, the conclusions reached by counsel in its opinion might no longer be valid. The opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts.

Assuming that the separation qualifies under Section 355 of the Code, the following describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to SEACOR Holdings, us and SEACOR Holdings shareholders of the separation:

•

subject to the discussion below regarding Section 355(e) of the Code, neither we nor SEACOR Holdings will recognize any gain or loss upon the distribution of our common stock to SEACOR Holdings shareholders and no amount will be included in the income of SEACOR Holdings or us as a result of the distribution other than taxable income or gain with respect to any “excess loss account” or “intercompany transaction” required to be taken into account under U.S. Treasury regulations relating to consolidated federal income tax returns;


•	a SEACOR Holdings shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss and no amount will be included in income as a result of the receipt of our common stock pursuant to the distribution, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock;

•

a SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in such shareholder’s SEACOR Holdings common stock held as of the record date and in our common stock received in the distribution (including any fractional share interest in our common stock for which cash is received) will equal such shareholder’s tax basis in its SEACOR Holdings common stock immediately before the distribution, allocated between the SEACOR Holdings common stock and our common stock (including any fractional share interest in our common stock for which cash is received) in proportion to their relative fair market values on the distribution date; and


•	a SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s holding period for our common stock received in the distribution (including any fractional share interest in our common stock for which cash is received) will include the holding period for that shareholder’s SEACOR Holdings common stock.

A SEACOR Holdings shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock in the distribution will be treated as having sold such fractional share for cash, and will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and such SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in such fractional share. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s holding period for its SEACOR Holdings common stock exceeds one year at the time of the distribution.

U.S. Treasury regulations provide that if a SEACOR Holdings shareholder holds different blocks of SEACOR Holdings common stock (generally common shares of SEACOR Holdings purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), the aggregate basis for each block of SEACOR Holdings common stock purchased or acquired on the same date and at the same price will be allocated, to the greatest extent possible, between the shares of our common stock received in the distribution in respect of such block of SEACOR Holdings common stock and such block of SEACOR Holdings common stock, in proportion to their respective fair market values. The holding period of the shares of our common stock received in the distribution in respect of such block of SEACOR Holdings common stock will include the holding period of such block of SEACOR Holdings common stock. SEACOR Holdings shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

U.S. Treasury regulations also require each SEACOR Holdings shareholder who receives our common stock in the distribution to attach to the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which the stock is received a detailed statement setting forth certain information relating to the tax-free nature of the distribution. Within a reasonable period of time after the distribution, SEACOR Holdings expects to make available to its shareholders information pertaining to compliance with this requirement.

Notwithstanding receipt by SEACOR Holdings of the opinion of counsel, the IRS could assert successfully that the distribution was taxable. In that event the above consequences would not apply and both SEACOR Holdings and holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock who received shares of our common stock in the distribution could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liability. In general, if the distribution were to fail to qualify under Section 355 of the Code, then:


•	SEACOR Holdings would recognize gain in an amount equal to the excess of the distribution date fair market value of our common stock distributed to SEACOR Holdings shareholders over SEACOR Holdings’ adjusted tax basis in our common stock;

•

a SEACOR Holdings shareholder who received our common stock in the distribution would be treated as having received a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of such stock on the distribution date. That distribution would be taxable to the shareholder as a dividend to the extent of SEACOR Holdings’ current and accumulated earnings and profits. Any amount that exceeded SEACOR Holdings’ earnings and profits would be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s tax basis in its SEACOR Holdings common stock (which amounts would reduce such shareholder’s tax basis in its SEACOR Holdings common stock), with any remaining amounts being taxed as capital gain;


•	certain shareholders would be subject to additional special rules governing taxable distributions, such as those that relate to the dividends-received deduction and extraordinary dividends; and

•

a SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in our common stock received in the distribution generally would equal the fair market value of the common stock on the distribution date, and the holding period for that stock would begin the day after the distribution date. The holding period for the shareholder’s SEACOR Holdings common stock would not be affected by the fact that the distribution was taxable.

Even if the distribution otherwise qualifies as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Code, it could be taxable to SEACOR Holdings (but not SEACOR Holdings shareholders) under Section 355(e) of the Code if

the distribution were later determined to be part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire, directly or indirectly, stock representing a 50% or greater interest by vote or value, in SEACOR Holdings or us. For this purpose, any acquisitions of SEACOR Holdings common stock or our common stock within the period beginning two years before the distribution and ending two years after the distribution are presumed to be part of such a plan, although SEACOR Holdings or we may be able to rebut that presumption.

In connection with the distribution, we and SEACOR Holdings will enter into a Tax Matters Agreement pursuant to which we will agree to be responsible for certain tax liabilities and obligations following the distribution. For a description of the Tax Matters Agreement, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions–Agreements between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine Relating to the Separation-Tax Matters Agreement.”

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments of cash to a holder of SEACOR Holdings common stock in lieu of fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 28%), unless such SEACOR Holdings shareholder delivers a properly completed IRS Form W-9, certifying such SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number and certain other information, or otherwise establishing a basis for exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Treasury regulations require certain SEACOR Holdings shareholders who receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution to attach to such SEACOR Holdings shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which the distribution occurs a detailed statement setting forth certain information relating to the tax-free nature of the distribution.

The foregoing is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the separation under current law and particular circumstances. The foregoing does not purport to address all U.S. federal income tax consequences or tax consequences that may arise under the tax laws of other jurisdictions or that may apply to particular categories of shareholders. Each SEACOR Holdings shareholder should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of the distribution to such shareholder, including the application of U.S. federal, state or local and foreign tax laws, and the effect of possible changes in tax laws that may affect the tax consequences described above.

Regulatory Matters Related to the Separation

SEACOR Marine is required to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form 10 together with certain exhibits thereto, including the final version of this Information Statement to be delivered to SEACOR Holdings stockholders holding shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock on the record date, in order to register SEACOR Marine’s common stock under the Exchange Act.

In addition to the foregoing federal securities law requirements, SEACOR Marine may be required to undertake certain registrations required under U.S. state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the separation.

Apart from the matters described above, SEACOR Holdings is not aware of any other material state or federal regulatory requirements or approvals that must be complied with or obtained in connection with the separation.

Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Stock Awards

Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Restricted Stock Awards

Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Stock Options

ect to the approval of our and SEACOR Holdings boards of directors (i) allowing these individuals to maintain their SEACOR Holdings options subject to the terms of the SEACOR Holdings incentive plan and granting them options to purchase our common stock shortly after consummation of the spin-off or (ii) converting these individuals’ SEACOR Holdings options into stock options to purchase shares of our common stock based on an adjustment formula that is meant to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of SEACOR Holdings options held prior to the separation. A final determination regarding the treatment of these SEACOR Holdings options will be made prior to the spin-off.

Solvency Opinion

The SEACOR Holdings board of directors intends to engage , a nationally recognized, independent financial advisory firm, to deliver an opinion to SEACOR Holdings and its board of directors that SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each be solvent and adequately capitalized immediately after the separation. SEACOR Holdings expects that the opinion will be provided shortly prior to the declaration of the spin-off dividend.

Reason for Furnishing this Information Statement

It is not to be construed as an inducement or encouragement to buy or sell any of our securities or any securities of SEACOR Holdings, nor is it to be construed as a solicitation of proxies in respect of the proposed distribution or any other matter. We believe that the information contained in this Information Statement is accurate as of the date set forth on the cover.

•	restrictions in our debt instruments outstanding at that time;


•	general economic and business conditions;


•	our financial condition and results of operations;

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

The following tables set forth the selected historical consolidated and combined financial and other operating data as of and for the periods indicated. We derived the selected historical consolidated and combined financial data presented below as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 from our audited consolidated and combined financial statements included elsewhere in this Information Statement. We derived the selected historical consolidated and combined financial data as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 from our audited combined financial statements not included in this Information Statement. We derived the selected historical consolidated financial data presented below as of September 30, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 from our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Information Statement. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.

Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
