Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On May 16, 2007, Stone Energy Corporation (“Stone”) received notice from its bank group that the borrowing base under its bank credit facility has been reduced from $325 million to $250 million. The borrowing base under the credit facility is re-determined periodically based on the bank group’s evaluation of Stone’s proved oil and gas reserves, coverage ratios, and the group’s oil and gas pricing outlook. Borrowings outstanding at May 17, 2007 under the facility totaled $129 million, and letters of credit totaling $52.8 million had been issued under the facility. At May 17, 2007, Stone had $68.2 million of borrowings available under the credit facility.
     On May 17, 2007, at Stone’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in New Orleans, LA, the stockholders re-elected George R. Christmas, B.J. Duplantis, John P. Laborde and Richard A. Pattarozzi to serve as directors until the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In addition to electing directors, the stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
     On May 17, 2007, Stone’s Board of Directors approved, effective as of July 1, 2007, cash compensation for its non-employee directors, consisting of an annual retainer of $40,000, $1,500 for each committee or board meeting attended, a supplementary annual retainer of $15,000 for the audit committee chairman, $10,000 for the presiding director of the non-management directors, and $5,000 for the chairmen of the compensation, reserve, and nominating and governance committees, respectively.
