PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. 7
DATED OCTOBER 15, 2001
TO PROSPECTUS DATED JULY 12, 2001
-----------------
The section titled "Selling Securityholders" on page 31 of the
prospectus dated July 12, 2001 is amended in its entirety by this Prospectus
Supplement No. 7 to read as follows.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
The LYONs, and any shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of
the LYONs, are being offered by the selling securityholders listed in the table
below. We issued and sold the LYONs in a private placement to Merrill Lynch. The
selling securityholders purchased their LYONs from Merrill Lynch or from
subsequent holders in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities
Act.
Only the LYONs and those shares of common stock issued to the selling
securityholders upon conversion of their LYONs are being offered by the selling
securityholders named in this prospectus. This prospectus will not cover sales
of common stock received upon conversion of LYONs purchased from a selling
securityholder named in this prospectus.
No offer or sale under this prospectus may be made by a securityholder
unless that holder is listed in the table below, in a supplement to this
prospectus or in an amendment to the related registration statement that has
become effective. We will supplement or amend this prospectus to include
additional selling security holders upon request and upon provision of all
required information to us, subject to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of May 1, 2001 between The Shaw Group Inc. and Merrill Lynch.
The following table sets forth, the name of each selling
securityholder, the nature of any position, office, or other material
relationship which the selling securityholder has had, within the past three
years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of
LYONs and shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such securityholder
prior to the offering, the
amount to be offered for the security holder's account and the amount to be
owned by such security holder after completion of the offering.
We prepared the table based on information supplied to us by the
selling securityholders. We have not sought to verify such information.
Additionally, some or all of the selling securityholders may have sold or
transferred some or all of their LYONs, in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, or some or all of their shares
of our common stock, in exempt or non-exempt transactions, since the date on
which the information in the table was provided to us. Other information about
the selling securityholders may also change over time.

(1) The stated amounts, to the extent they describe common stock issuable upon
conversion of the holder's LYONs, assume conversion of all of the holders'
LYONs at a conversion price of 8.2988 shares of our common stock per $1,000
principal amount at maturity of the LYONs. This conversion price, however,
will be subject to adjustment as described under "Description of the LYONs -
Conversion Rights" in our prospectus dated July 12, 2001. As a result, the
number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs
and, therefore, attributable to holders of LYONs, may increase or decrease
in the future
