Performance elements for short-term and long-term incentive awards: In May 2011, subsequent to the Company’s 2011 shareholders meeting, the Compensation Committee of the Helix Board of Directors committed to take the following actions: (i) implementing defined performance metrics for the 2011 short-term cash incentive bonus program for executive officers, with the Compensation Committee, however, retaining overall discretion with respect to the grant of individual awards made under the program, and (ii) modifying the long-term incentive compensation awarded to executive officers to include additional pay for performance elements in future grants. (This information is more particularly described in the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on May 13, 2011.)

Design of 2011 short-term incentive bonus program: Subsequently, in June 2011, The Compensation Committee determined the metrics for the 2011 short-term cash incentive bonus. For the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Chief Accounting Officer, the performance metrics consist of the following: (i) 40% based on the achievement by the Company of certain EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense) targets; (ii) 40% based on total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s stock for 2011 relative to that of the compensation peer group previously selected by the Committee; and (iii) 20% based on personal objectives. For the Company’s Executive Vice President Oil & Gas and the Executive Vice President-Contracting Services, the performance metrics consist of the following: (i) 25% based on the achievement by the Company of certain EBITDAX targets; (ii) 25% based on the achievement by the officer’s respective business unit of certain EBITDAX targets; (iii) 25% based on Company TSR for 2011 relative to that of its peer group; and (iv) 25% based on personal objectives. (This information is more particularly described in the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on June 16, 2011.)

Design of 2012 long-term incentive program: In December of 2011, the Compensation Committee determined certain performance elements that would be included in the long-term incentive awards for the executive officers for 2012. The material terms of these awards and the forms of award are more particularly described in the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on December 15, 2011, but in terms of composition, 50% of the long term incentive award to each executive granted in January 2012 will consist of a Performance-Based Cash Award, and 25% of the long-term incentive award to each executive granted in January 2012 will consist of a Performance Units Award. The material terms of these two awards are described below.
