Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 2, 2015, Helix Q7000 Vessel Holdings S.à r.l. (“Helix Q7000”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc., and Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd (“Jurong Shipyard”), a subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine Ltd., entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Construction Contract dated September 11, 2013 for the construction in Singapore of Helix’s Q7000, which is a newbuild semisubmersible well intervention vessel.

The Second Amendment delays scheduled delivery of the Q7000 from July 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017. In addition, Helix Q7000 has options to extend the scheduled delivery until as late as December 30, 2018. Helix Q7000 paid 20% of the contract price upon the execution of the contract in September 2013. Prior to the Second Amendment, the remaining 80% of the contract price was to be paid in two installments, with 20% on June 25, 2016 and 60% upon delivery of the vessel, which was scheduled for July 2017. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the remaining 80% will now be paid in three installments, with 20% on June 25, 2016, 20% upon issuance of the Completion Certificate, which is to be issued on or before December 31, 2017, and 40% upon delivery of the vessel.

In addition, Helix Q7000 will pay (i) $28,438 per day for incremental reimbursements to Jurong Shipyard for the period beginning the day after the earlier of the issuance of the Completion Certificate and December 31, 2017, and ending upon delivery of the vessel and (ii) Jurong Shipyard’s reasonable costs arising out of or in relation to the deferment of the delivery that are directly attributable to Jurong Shipyard’s maintenance or construction of the vessel.

The description of the Second Amendment contained in this Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
