Section 8
Item 8.01 — Other Events
     On February 17, 2006, Stone Energy Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that as of February 15, 2006, the Company has received notice of non-compliance from holders of over 25 percent of the outstanding principal amount of its 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2014. The notice is for failure to file its SEC reports and financial statements; however, under the indenture, the delay in filing the reports does not automatically result in an event of default. The Company previously informed the trustee of the delay in filing its 2005 third quarter 10-Q and was not given notice by the trustee. The Company believes that it will be in a position to file its financials in mid-March 2006 which would resolve this issue, although no assurance can be given as to the actual filing date. The Company has 60 days from the receipt of this notice to cure a default, if a default has occurred.
     There is an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2014 outstanding. As previously stated, if there has been a default under these Notes, the Company has 60 days from the receipt of notice of such default to cure the default. If there is a default and the default is not cured during the 60 day cure period, the trustee, or the holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of these Notes by notice to the trustee and the Company, may declare the principal amount of these Notes to be due and payable, and such principal would be due and payable immediately. If an acceleration of these Notes were to occur, the Company may be unable to meet its payment obligations with respect to these Notes. In addition, the acceleration of these Notes would result in a cross-default under the Company’s indenture for its 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 and its bank credit agreement. As of February 17, 2006, the Company had an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 outstanding, and borrowings and letters of credit of $186 million outstanding under its bank credit agreement.
SIGNATURE
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
