("Robotti") sent a letter to the Board of Directors of Acergy S.A.
("Acergy") (NASDAQ:ACGY) (Oslo: ACY) on February 16, 2009 relating
to Acergy. While Robotti praised Acergy's 2008 accomplishments and
execution, Robotti detailed multiple corporate governance concerns,
including recent stock and option compensation plans proposed by
Acergy, past unauthorized stock option issuances, and valuation and
other issues relating to the failed merger with Subsea 7 Inc.
(Oslo: SUB). In addition, Robotti urged Acergy to take action so
that it could opportunistically repurchase its own securities and
adopt minimum shareholding requirements by the Board given the
Board's current lack of stock ownership. A copy of the letter can
