EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3, filed by Hercules Offshore, Inc. (the “Hercules”), relates to Registration Statement No. 333-192970 filed by Hercules with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 20, 2013 registering an indeterminate amount of Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, Warrants, Units, and Guarantees of Hercules, which was subsequently amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-3, which were filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015 and March 5, 2015, respectively (the “Registration Statement”).

On August 13, 2015, Hercules and certain of its subsidiaries (each, a “Debtor”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On September 24, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on November 6, 2015 (“Effective Time”).


As a result of the effectiveness of the Plan, the offerings under the Registration Statement have been terminated. In accordance with the undertakings made by Hercules to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, Hercules hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time of the Plan, if any.
