MITCHAM INDUSTRIES SEEKS SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL FOR REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE AS PART OF PLAN TO

REBRAND AS

MIND TECHNOLOGY, INC.

New name to reflect Company’s core competencies as a leading provider of innovative marine technology and products

THE WOODLANDS, TX – June 3, 2020 – Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) (“Mitcham” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company is seeking shareholder approval for a reincorporation from the State of Texas to Delaware, which will include rebranding and renaming the Company MIND Technology, Inc. Please refer to the Definitive Proxy that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2020, accessible at http://ir.mitchamindustries.com/ under SEC filings, and that will be mailed to shareholders in the near future for more details on the proposed reincorporation.

Rob Capps, Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, “After making significant progress over the past year transforming Mitcham away from its traditional oil and gas activities, we strongly believe our rebranding effort better reflects our technological advantages and core competencies, and will enhance our sales and marketing efforts to our target markets and end customers.

“In connection with these proposed changes and in recognition of our focus on our marine technology products business, as well as recent changes in the global energy markets, we think that it’s now appropriate to further de-emphasize our land seismic leasing business. Accordingly, we have decided to make no new investments in land seismic lease pool equipment and will attempt to maximize the value of our existing operations and equipment through leasing or sales transactions. We are also taking steps to adjust the cost structure of this portion of our business to reflect the ongoing operations.

“We encourage shareholders to support this and the other proposals contained in the Proxy Statement when they vote their proxies so we can begin rebranding immediately thereafter,” concluded Capps.
