This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G
filed on March 21, 2005 (the "Original Schedule 13G"), as amended by Amendment
No.1 filed on February 14, 2007, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on
February 14, 2008, and Amendment No. 3 filed on February 6, 2009(the "Original
Schedule 13G" as amended, the "Schedule 13G") with respect to shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares") of Odyssey Marine Exploration,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the
Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates Items 4 and 5 in their entirety
as set forth below.

Item 4.   Ownership

            Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and
percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

         The information required by Items 4(a) - (c) is set forth in Rows 5 -
         11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is
         incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. Based
         upon the Company's Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q on November 9,
         2009, for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, the Company
         had 59,326,194 Shares outstanding as of October 27, 2009. In
         calculating the percentage of Shares held by the Reporting Persons, we
         assumed the conversion of the reported convertible preferred stock.

         The Investment Manager, which serves as the investment manager to each
         of the GLG Funds, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all
         Shares owned by the GLG Funds. The Investment Manager exercises its
         investment authority directly or indirectly through various entities,
         including, without limitation, GLG Inc. The General Partner, as general
         partner to the Investment Manager, may be deemed to be the beneficial
         owner of all Shares owned by the GLG Funds. Each of Emmanuel Roman,
         Pierre Lagrange and Noam Gottesman are Managing Directors of the
         General Partner. The Parent Company, which indirectly wholly owns the
         General Partner, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all Shares
         owned by the GLG Funds. Each of the Investment Manager, the General
         Partner, the Parent Company, GLG Inc., Emmanuel Roman, Pierre Lagrange
         and Noam Gottesman hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any
         such Shares, except for their pecuniary interest therein.

Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

            As of December 31, 2009, GLG North American Opportunity Fund had
ceased to be a Reporting Person with respect to the Shares.
