On August 14, 2009, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Seabulk International, Inc. ("Seabulk"), notified Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), as trustee under the indenture dated as of August 5, 2003, as supplemented, between Seabulk and Wachovia, of its election to redeem all of its outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 on September 14, 2009 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price of 103.167% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"). On August 14, 2009, $81,705,000 principal amount of such notes were outstanding. Following the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, all 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 will be paid in full and no 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 will be outstanding. Upon redemption of the 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013, we expect to record a gain of approximately $2.0 million, net of tax. We expect to fund the Redemption Price from cash on hand.
