Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     In connection with the announcement of Helix’s intention to commence an underwritten secondary public offering of 20.0 million shares of common stock of Cal Dive International, Inc. (“Cal Dive”), its majority owned subsidiary (the “Offering”), on May 29, 2009, Helix entered into a definitive stock repurchase agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with Cal Dive to sell directly to Cal Dive that number of shares of Cal Dive’s common stock equal to $14 million divided by the per share price at which Helix sells the shares in the Offering. The Offering also includes an option for the underwriters to purchase an additional 3.0 million shares to cover over-allotments, if any.
     Upon closing of the Offering and the consummation of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, Helix will cease to own a majority of Cal Dive’s common stock.
     The foregoing description of the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The Stock Repurchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, and is not intended to provide any other factual information about any of the parties thereto.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On June 1, 2009, Helix issued a press release announcing its commencement of the Offering and Helix’s entry into the Stock Repurchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
     This information is not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information is not incorporated by reference into any registration statements or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language contained in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this filing.
