Hornbeck Offshore
Hornbeck Offshore Services has priced the initial public offering of 6,000,000 shares of its common stock at $13.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $78 million. The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional shares of common stock at the same price per share. The offering is expected to close on March 30, 2004, subject to customary conditions. The Company's shares of common stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HOS."

Pending such uses, the Company may use the proceeds to repay debt under its revolving credit facility, which can then be reborrowed.
