On January 16, 2024, Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption with respect to its 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) to redeem the remaining 2026 Notes on March 20, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price of $1,127.781146 for each $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes to be redeemed. In connection therewith, the Company also announced that holders of the 2026 Notes would have the right to convert their 2026 Notes for cash consideration, subject to certain terms and conditions specified in the 2026 Notes and the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to that certain Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2020, in each case, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Base Indenture” and together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day immediately prior to the Redemption Date (the “Conversion Deadline”).

Prior to the Conversion Deadline, holders of approximately $39.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes submitted notices for conversion of their 2026 Notes.
