determined to pursue the previously announced spin-off (the
Spin-Off) of its offshore marine services business that is
conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, SEACOR Marine Holdings
Inc. (SEACOR Marine), by means of a distribution of all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of SEACOR Marine on a pro rata
basis to all of the holders of common stock of SEACOR.

fraction, the numerator of which is 17,671,356 and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock
outstanding on the Distribution Date; or approximately 1.007 shares
per share of SEACOR Holdings Common Stock, based on the number of
shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of the date
hereof.

Transition Services Agreements

SEACOR Marine and SEACOR entered into two separate transition
services agreements on an interim basis to help ensure an orderly
transition following the separation: (i) the SEACOR Transition
Services Agreement, to which SEACOR will provide SEACOR Marine with
a number of support services, including information systems
support, benefit plan management, cash disbursement support, cash
receipt processing and treasury management and (ii) the SEACOR
Marine Transition Services Agreement, to which SEACOR Marine will

provide additional services.

Under the SEACOR Transition Services Agreement, SEACOR will provide
SEACOR Marine with the services described above in a manner
historically provided to SEACOR Marine by SEACOR during the 12
months prior to the date of the agreement, and SEACOR Marine will
use the services for substantially the same purposes and in
substantially the same manner as SEACOR Marine used them during
such 12 month period. Under the SEACOR Marine Transition Services
Agreement, SEACOR Marine will provide SEACOR with general payroll
services in a manner historically provided by SEACOR to SEACOR
Marine during the 12 months prior to the date of the agreement, and
SEACOR will use the services for substantially the same purposes
and substantially the same manner as SEACOR Marine used them during
such 12 month period.

Amounts payable for services provided under the Transition Services
Agreements will be calculated on a fixed-fee basis, with each
Transition Services Agreement specifying an aggregate fixed fee for
all of the services described therein. SEACOR Marine expects to pay
SEACOR an aggregate monthly fee of $555,000 for the services
provided under the SEACOR Transition Services Agreement and SEACOR
Marine expects that SEACOR will pay SEACOR Marine an aggregate
monthly fee of $30,000 for the services provided under the SEACOR
Marine Transition Services Agreement.

agreed to limit SEACOR Marines respective liability to the other in
respect of causes of action arising under the Transition Services
Agreements. Under the SEACOR Transition Services Agreement, (i)
SEACOR Marine will indemnify SEACOR against third-party claims
stemming from SEACOR Marines (a) failure to fulfill confidentiality
obligations under such agreement and (b) infringement of the
intellectual property of any third party; provided that SEACOR
Marine will not be required to indemnify SEACOR for losses
resulting from SEACORs willful misconduct, bad faith or gross
negligence and (ii) SEACOR will indemnify SEACOR Marine against
third-party claims stemming from SEACORs (a) failure to fulfill its
obligations as set forth in such agreement and (b) infringement of
the intellectual property of any third party; provided that SEACOR
will not be required to indemnify SEACOR Marine for losses
resulting from SEACOR Marines willful misconduct, bad faith or
gross negligence. Under the SEACOR Marine Transition Services
Agreement, (A) SEACOR will indemnify SEACOR Marine against
third-party claims stemming from SEACORs (x) failure to fulfill

confidentiality obligations under such agreement and (y)
infringement of the intellectual property of any third party;
provided that SEACOR will not be required to indemnify SEACOR
Marine for losses resulting from SEACOR Marines willful misconduct,
bad faith or gross negligence and (B) SEACOR Marine will indemnify
SEACOR against third-party claims stemming from SEACOR Marines (x)

bad faith or gross negligence.

to the Transition Services Agreements, SEACOR Marine and SEACOR
have each agreed to customary confidentiality agreements regarding
any confidential information of the other party received in the
course of performance of the services.

SEACOR Marine will also be responsible for its own
transition-related costs and expenses (e.g., to procure its own IT
infrastructure) and certain costs and expenses incurred by SEACOR
to transfer software licenses to SEACOR Marine, including (i)
transfer fees charged by third-party software licensors and (ii)
unamortized SEACOR costs and expenses to procure and deploy the
software being transferred to SEACOR Marine.

Each Transition Services Agreement will continue in effect for up
to two years. In the event that SEACOR Marine defaults under the
SEACOR Transition Services Agreement or SEACOR defaults under the
SEACOR Marine Transition Services Agreement, the non-breaching
party may, in addition or as an alternative to terminating the
respective agreement, declare immediately due and payable all sums
which are payable under such agreement or suspend such agreement
and decline to continue to perform any of the obligations
thereunder.

In the event functions provided under a Transition Services
Agreement are outsourced by the provider, the provider of the
services under the Transition Services Agreement will have the
option, but not the obligation, to also transition the recipient,
along with the provider, to the new outsourced solution. If the
provider decides not to transition to the recipient to the new
outsourced solution, the provider may opt to stop providing these
outsourced services upon 90 days notice.

Employee Matters Agreement

The Employee Matters Agreement allocates liabilities and
responsibilities between SEACOR Marine and SEACOR relating to
employee compensation and benefit plans and programs, including the
treatment of retirement and health plans, equity incentive and
compensation programs. In general, the Employee Matters Agreement
provides that, following the distribution, SEACOR Marines employees
will participate in SEACOR Marines equity incentive plans and will
cease to participate in SEACORs equity incentive plans with respect
to awards granted following the distribution. In general, SEACOR
Marine will be responsible for the employment and benefit-related
obligations and liabilities of its employees following the
Spin-Off.

Tax Matters Agreement

responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, tax
attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control
of audits and other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation
in respect of tax matters with respect to U.S. federal income taxes
for periods during which SEACOR Marine was part of SEACORs
consolidated tax group, after taking into account any tax sharing
payments that have already been made, (i) SEACOR shall compensate
SEACOR Marine, or alternatively, SEACOR Marine shall compensate
SEACOR, for use of any net operating losses, net capital losses or
foreign tax credits generated by the operations of the other party
as calculated on a separate company basis and utilized in the
consolidated tax return and (ii) SEACOR Marine shall compensate
SEACOR for any taxable income attributable to SEACOR Marines
operations. Taxes relating to or arising out of the failure of the
separation to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal
income tax purposes will be borne by SEACOR, except, in general, if
such failure is attributable to SEACOR Marines action or inaction
or SEACORs action or inaction, as the case may be, or any event (or
series of events) involving SEACOR Marines assets or stock or the
assets or stock of SEACOR, as the case may be, in which case the
resulting liability will be borne in full by SEACOR Marine or
SEACOR, respectively.

Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement and Tax Matters Agreement is

Arrangements of Certain Officers

(b)

On May 10, 2017, in connection with the Spin-Off, each of Andrew R.
Morse and R. Christopher Regan resigned as a member of the Board of
Directors (the Board) of SEACOR and joined the board of SEACOR
Marine. Mr. Morse had served as Chairman of the Audit Committee and
as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of
the Board. Mr. Regan had served as a member of the Compensation
Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.

As a result of these resignations, the Board decreased the size of
the Board from seven directors to five directors, appointed David
M. Schizer, a SEACOR director, to the Compensation Committee,
appointed David Berz and Pierre de Demandolx, SEACOR directors, to
the Audit Committee and appointed Mr. Schizer as Chairman of the
Audit Committee.

Further, in connection with the Spin-Off, each of Mr. John Gellert
and Mr. Matthew R. Cenac, Co-Chief Operating Officer and Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of SEACOR, respectively,
tendered his resignation, effective immediately prior to
Distribution Date.

(e)

On May 10, 2017, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Board, based
on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the
treatment of equity awards previously issued to individuals under
SEACORs equity incentive compensation plans (including SEACORs
directors and executive officers) in the manner described in the
section titled Treatment of SEACOR Holdings Stock Awards in the
Information Statement. In connection with the Spin-Off, all
outstanding stock options to purchase shares of SEACOR common stock
(SEACOR Options) will be adjusted to reflect the difference in
value prior to the Spin-Off of SEACORs common stock on the regular
way market and ex-distribution market for such stock and to
preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of such stock options.
Accordingly, the exercise price and number of shares of SEACOR
common stock subject to such SEACOR Options will be adjusted. The
terms and conditions applicable to such SEACOR Options will
otherwise remain the same, except that the vesting of any unvested
SEACOR Options held by SEACOR Marine employees will be accelerated,
and such individuals will have 90 days to exercise their SEACOR
Options. SEACOR Options held by Messrs. Morse and Regan will remain
exercisable for the remainder of the original terms of their
respective SEACOR Options.

SEACOR employees who hold restricted shares of SEACOR common stock
(SEACOR Restricted Stock) will receive fully vested shares of
SEACOR Marine common stock to the Spin-Off dividend and will
continue to be subject to restrictions and vesting conditions with
respect to shares of SEACOR Restricted Stock. SEACOR Marine
employees who hold SEACOR Restricted Stock will vest in their
shares of SEACOR Restricted Stock but the shares of SEACOR Marine
common stock that they receive to the Spin-Off dividend will be
subject to the same restrictions and vesting conditions originally
applicable to their shares of SEACOR Restricted Stock except that
such employees service with SEACOR Marine or its subsidiaries will
be deemed to be service with SEACOR.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the restrictions applicable to Mr.
Cenac’s SEACOR Restricted Stock will lapse.
