Schedule A

(Relevant text is underlined)

• We expect global offshore drilling activity to also increase as production from mature regions declines and as upstream oil and gas companies explore and exploit frontier and deepwater regions. According to Baker Hughes, Inc., the global offshore active rig count has increased approximately 18% from a recession-driven low of 261 rigs in August 2009 to 307 rigs in February 2012. According to ODS-Petrodata, the global offshore rig supply in 2011 is projected to average 857 rigs. Of the total global offshore rig supply, 24% are semi-submersible rigs, which are used in medium to deepwater locations, and 56% are platform, or jack-up, oil rigs, which tend to be used in locations with water depths of less than 500 feet. In particular, the number of semi-submersible rigs and drillships contracted to drill in deepwater locations, defined as water depths greater than 3,000 feet, has increased from 98 rigs in December 2006 to 127 rigs in December 2011.

Sincerely,

Edgen Group Inc.
