The Company also announced that it has filed to withdraw its Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to an initial public offering of its common stock. The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2002. The Company believes that current market conditions make proceeding with the offering not advisable at this time. Todd Hornbeck, President and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased that Ms. Melcher and Mr. Trice have joined our board. We will greatly benefit from the wealth of industry experience and insight that they bring to the Company. They were scheduled to join our Board effective upon the closing of our planned IPO. However, because of the recent declines and extreme volatility in the equity market, we have decided to withdraw our Registration Statement. By adding Ms. Melcher and Mr. Trice to our Board now, we have accelerated the availability of their expertise, while the withdrawal of the Registration Statement allows us to investigate other strategic growth opportunities. Meanwhile, we will continue to monitor the public equity markets." Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. is a leading provider of marine transportation services through the operation of newly constructed deepwater offshore supply vessels in the Gulf of Mexico and ocean-going tugs and tank barges in the northeastern U.S. and in Puerto Rico.
