Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
     R. Brian Hanson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ION Geophysical Corporation (the “Company”), will be presenting at the Sidoti & Company, LLC, New York II Emerging Growth Institutional Investor Forum in New York City, New York, on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, commencing at approximately 11:20 a.m. Eastern Time. The slides accompanying the presentation will be available in the Investor Materials — Presentations portion of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.iongeo.com and will be archived there for approximately 90 days.
     The information contained in Item 7.01 of this report (i) is not to be considered “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (ii) shall not be incorporated by reference into any previous or future filings made by or to be made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
     The presentation referenced in this report and any oral or written statements made in connection with the presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements may include statements concerning estimated revenues, expected timing of future revenues and growth rates, estimated gross margins and operating expenses for fiscal 2010 and other years, future sales and market growth, timing of product introduction and commercialization, and other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements will reflect numerous assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may include: unanticipated delays in the timing and development of the Company’s products and services and market acceptance of the Company’s new and revised product offerings; risks associated with competitors’ product offerings and pricing pressures resulting therefrom; the relatively small number of customers that the Company currently relies upon; the fact that a significant portion of the Company’s revenues is derived from foreign sales; the risks that sources of capital may not prove adequate; the Company’s inability to produce products to preserve and increase market share; and technological and marketplace changes affecting the Company’s product line. Additional risk factors, which could affect actual results, are disclosed by the Company from time to time in its filings with the SEC, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during 2010 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
