Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 20, 2011, Oceaneering AS, a Norwegian limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Oceaneering International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, “Oceaneering”), completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests in AGR Field Operations Holdings AS, a Norwegian company (“AGR Field Operations”), pursuant to the previously announced share purchase agreement that Oceaneering entered into with AGR Group ASA, a Norwegian company, and FieldCo Invest AS, a Norwegian company (together, the “Sellers”). AGR Field Operations, through its subsidiaries, provides inspection, maintenance, subsea engineering and field operations services, principally to the oil and gas industry in regions offshore of Norway and Australia.

The purchase price for the equity interests in AGR Field Operations (including indebtedness of the acquired businesses retired immediately following the closing of the share purchase transaction) was approximately $230 million, and was paid by Oceaneering from a combination of cash on hand and funds borrowed under its revolving credit facility.

The Sellers and Oceaneering made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the share purchase agreement.

The foregoing description of the share purchase agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share purchase agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The share purchase agreement has been included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding its terms. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the share purchase agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to that agreement. The share purchase agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties to the agreement and is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Sellers or Oceaneering or their respective subsidiaries or the interests in AGR Field Operations acquired from the Sellers. The representations and warranties made by the Sellers and Oceaneering in the share purchase agreement may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and shareholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

A copy of the press release issued to announce the closing of the share purchase transaction is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Parties agree that the content of this Agreement as well as any and all other information which has been or will be delivered or disclosed (whether orally or in writing) to the other Party in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, including any disclosures after the Closing Date contemplated hereby, shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary, unless the Party disclosing or delivering such information has confirmed in writing that the relevant information is non-confidential or non-proprietary. The Party receiving confidential information shall treat, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, advisors and

26

auditors to treat, such information as strictly confidential and shall not divulge or disclose (directly or indirectly) such information to any other person or entity, other than to its officers, directors, employees, advisors and auditors who reasonably require access to such confidential information for the purpose for which it has been and will be delivered or disclosed, except if and to the extent:

a) such disclosure is required by law or regulation, including stock exchange rules, and for the avoidance of doubt the Buyer acknowledges in this regard that AGR Group ASA will be required to make a detailed stock exchange announcement and to publish an information document in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to sections 3.4 and 3.5 of the continuing obligations of companies listed on Oslo Børs;

b) by any order of any administrative or judicial authority or other legal process (provided that disclosure in any instance contemplated by this paragraph b) or the foregoing paragraph a) shall not by itself permit disclosure in any other instance);

c) such information has become public through no fault of the receiving Party; or

d) such information has been obtained separately by the receiving Party from a third party that is not bound by any obligation of confidentiality regarding such information.

The confidentiality obligation set forth in this Clause 14 shall remain in full force and effect for a period of three years from the date of disclosure pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out herein, the Confidentiality Undertaking signed by the Buyer on 6 June 2011 shall remain in full force and effect until the Closing Date.

15 NON-SOLICITATION

The Sellers hereby agree that they will not and will cause the AGR Group not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment: (i) for a period of 36 months from Closing, any of the Key Employees and (ii), for a period of 12 months from Closing, others who are among the Company Group’s management as of the date hereof or at any time thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict or preclude the Sellers from hiring any such employee of the Company Group who responds to a general advertisement of employment which is placed in the ordinary course of business or who first initiates an employment discussion with the Sellers, so long as the Sellers have not violated the restrictions on solicitation contained in this Agreement.

The Buyer hereby agrees that it will not and will cause any company controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Buyer (the “Buyer Group”) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment: (i) for a period of 36 months from Closing, any of the members of the AGR Group’s senior management and (ii), for a period of 12 months from Closing, others who are among the AGR Group’s management as of the date hereof or at any time thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict or preclude the Buyer Group from hiring any such employee of the AGR Group who responds to a general advertisement of employment which is placed in the ordinary course of business or who first initiates an employment discussion with the Buyer Group, so long as the Buyer Group has not violated the restrictions on solicitation contained in this Agreement.

(ii) the Buyer shall provide to the Sellers the name of said assignee at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provided further,

(iii) that if the Buyer designates any such wholly owned subsidiary, such subsidiary shall be deemed to be included in the definition of the “Buyer” for the purposes of this Agreement, and provided further,
