THE COMPANY
The Company is an independent oil and natural
gas exploration and production company whose growth strategy
emphasizes acquisitions, enhanced by a value-added organic drilling
program. The Company operates geographically focused producing
reserves located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters and the Gulf
Coast onshore, and it targets the acquisition of oil and gas
properties with which it can add value by increasing production and
ultimate recovery of reserves, whether through exploitation or
exploration, often using reprocessed seismic data to identify
previously overlooked opportunities. The Company
believes the mature legacy fields on which its assets are located
lend themselves well to its aggressive exploitation strategy and
expects to identify incremental exploration opportunities on the
properties. The Company intends to grow its reserve base and
increase production through strategic acquisitions of oil and
natural gas properties, its drilling program and the further
optimization of production. The Company actively manages
price risk and hedges a high percentage of its proved developed
producing reserves to enhance revenue certainty and predictability.
The Company’s disciplined risk management strategy provides
substantial price protection so that its cash flow is largely
driven by production results rather than commodity prices. This
greater price certainty allows the Company to efficiently allocate
its capital resources and minimize its operating cost. The
Company’s executive offices and operating headquarters are
located at Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, PO Box HM 1179,
Hamilton HM EX, Bermuda, and its telephone number at those offices
is (441) 298-3262.
DESCRIPTION OF THE 2008 FAIR
MARKET VALUE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Plan is named the “Energy XXI
Services, LLC 2008 Fair Market Value Stock Purchase Plan” and
was originally adopted by the board of directors of the Employer
and the Company effective as of July 1, 2008 (the “
Effective Date ”).
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the
interests of the Employer and the Company, as well as employees,
directors and other service providers by providing such individuals
with the opportunity to conveniently purchase Common
Stock. The Plan allows eligible employees, directors,
and other service providers to purchase from the Company shares of
Common Stock that have been purchased by the Company on the open
market or that have been newly issued by the Company. In
particular, individuals who have been granted restricted stock
units pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the “ LTIP ”) that may be settled in cash may
use their cash settlement to purchase shares of Common Stock which
will be issued under the Plan. See “—
Securities To Be Offered.”
The Plan is not intended to qualify under the
provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “ Code ”). The Plan is
also not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA
”).
Administration of the Plan
The board of directors of the Company (the
“ Board ”) has appointed a Committee comprised
of Board members (the “ Committee
”) to administer the Plan pursuant to the Plan’s terms
and all applicable state, federal, and other rules or laws, except
in the event the Board chooses to administer the
Plan. Unless otherwise limited by the Plan or Rule 16b-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act ”), the Committee has broad discretion to
administer the Plan, interpret its provisions, and adopt policies
for implementing the Plan. This discretion includes the
power to determine the class of “ Eligible Persons
” for the Plan, determine the terms under which Eligible
Persons may purchase Common Stock under the Plan, prescribe and
interpret the terms and provisions of any individual agreement
between the Company and Eligible Persons which shall govern the
purchase of Common Stock (the terms of which may vary), and to
execute all other responsibilities permitted or required under the
Plan.
Persons Who
May Participate in the Plan
An Eligible Person shall be either: (a) a holder
of a restricted stock unit granted pursuant to the LTIP and
settleable in cash, or (b) any employee, director or consultant of
the Employer or the Company or an affiliate thereof designated by
the Committee as an Eligible Person.
An Eligible Person will be eligible to purchase
Common Stock solely pursuant to the Plan terms, and will be subject
to any limitations imposed by an appropriate action of the
Committee.
Shares Subject to the Plan
. The maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to
the Plan will not exceed 1,200,000 shares. The Common
Stock sold pursuant to the Plan may be newly issued shares, shares
held by the Company in treasury, shares which have been acquired by
the Company in the open market, or any combination of the
foregoing. There are no fees, commissions or other
charges applicable to a purchase of Common Stock under the
Plan.
With Respect to Restricted Stock
Units. An
Eligible Person who desires to purchase Common Stock with cash
received upon the settlement of restricted stock units granted
pursuant to the LTIP may do so by notifying the Company on or prior
to the date of vesting of the restricted stock units pursuant to
reasonable procedures established by the Company.
The Company shall use all or a portion of the
cash payable to the Eligible Person upon settlement of the
restricted stock units (the “ Purchase
