Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On September 7, 2006, the compensation committee and board of directors of Stone Energy Corporation (“Stone”) agreed to put in place certain employee retention items to become effective in the event the proposed merger between Stone and Energy Partners, Ltd. (“EPL”) is not effected. These items include market salary adjustments, a one hundred percent targeted bonus opportunity, restricted stock awards, and certain change of control policies. These retention items are intended to address employee uncertainty that resulted from the unexpected tender offer by ATS, Inc. for EPL that is conditioned on the proposed merger between Stone and EPL not being effected.
