PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 6, 2023

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Offer to Exchange the Notes Set Forth Below Registered

Under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for

Any and All Outstanding Restricted Notes

Set Forth Opposite the Registered Notes

Principal Terms of the Exchange Offer

This is an offer (the “exchange offer”) by Oceaneering International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Registrant”), to exchange all outstanding unregistered Restricted Notes (as defined below) for an equal principal amount of the Company’s 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Registered Notes”), the offer of which has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company issued the unregistered 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP Nos. 675232 AC6 and U6749M AA9) (the “Restricted Notes”) on October 2, 2023 in a private placement to eligible purchasers. The Restricted Notes constitute an additional issuance of our outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 issued on February 6, 2018 pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated February 1, 2018 in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (the “2028 Notes”) and form a single series with such notes. The Restricted Notes are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with, do not trade interchangeably with and bear a different CUSIP number from the 2028 Notes.

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2024, unless the Company extends the offer. You may withdraw tenders of Restricted Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. The exchange offer is not subject to any condition other than that it will not violate applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and that no proceedings with respect to the exchange offer have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Restricted Notes being tendered for exchange.

Principal Terms of the Registered Notes

The terms of the Registered Notes to be issued in the exchange offer are substantially identical in all material respects to the terms of the Restricted Notes, except that the Registered Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in the annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein). Both the Registered Notes and the Restricted Notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer will be treated as a single series of debt securities under the Indenture (as defined below), pursuant to which the Restricted Notes were, and the Registered Notes will be, issued, along with any additional notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.

The Registered Notes are new securities, and there is currently no established trading market for the Registered Notes. The Company does not intend to list the Registered Notes on any securities exchange or to apply for quotation in any automated dealer quotation system, and, therefore, no active public market is anticipated. The Registered Notes together with the 2028 Notes will constitute a single series of debt securities under the Indenture but will not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with, will not trade interchangeably with and will bear a different CUSIP number from the 2028 Notes.

The Registered Notes will be unsecured and will rank equally with all existing and future senior and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Registered Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Registered Notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The exchange offer involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 15 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

Each broker-dealer that receives Registered Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Notes. The letter of transmittal states that, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of up to 90 days after the date on which the registration statement relating to the Registered Notes and the exchange offer is declared effective, the Company will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers. See “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Registered Notes or the exchange offer or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                 , 2023.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

In this prospectus, including the information we incorporate by reference, we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future orders, revenue, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “budget,” “goal,” “may,” “should,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In particular, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

1

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:

2

All of the forward-looking statements we make in connection with this prospectus are qualified by the information contained or incorporated by reference herein, including the information contained under this heading and the information detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings we make with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Registered Notes involves risks, which risks are substantially equivalent to those applicable to the Restricted Notes exchanged therefor except that the Registered Notes will be registered. Prospective investors should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus, any free writing prospectus filed by us with the SEC and the documents incorporated by reference herein. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below and included under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Related to the Registered Notes

The Registered Notes will be exclusively obligations of Oceaneering International, Inc. and not of its subsidiaries, and payments to holders of the Registered Notes will be effectively subordinated to the claims of such subsidiaries’ creditors.

The Registered Notes will be exclusively obligations of Oceaneering International, Inc. and not our subsidiaries. We conduct a substantial part of our operations through our subsidiaries, and our subsidiaries generate a significant part of our operating income and cash flow. As a result, our cash flow and ability to service our debt, including the Registered Notes, are dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by such subsidiaries to us. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on the Registered Notes or to make funds available to them to do so. In addition, contractual provisions or laws, as well as our subsidiaries’ financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain from our subsidiaries cash that we need to pay our debt service obligations, including payments on the Registered Notes. Further, holders of the Registered Notes will have a position junior to the claims of creditors of our subsidiaries on their assets and earnings. Oceaneering International, Inc. and its subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the indenture governing the Registered Notes to incur additional indebtedness or otherwise enter into agreements that may restrict or prohibit our subsidiaries from the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans to us. We cannot assure you that the agreements governing the current and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries and our subsidiaries’ other agreements will permit such subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund payments on the Registered Notes when due. In addition, the indenture allows us to create new subsidiaries and invest in such subsidiaries, all of whose assets you will not have any claim against. As of September 30, 2023, our subsidiaries had no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding intercompany debt).

Payments on the Registered Notes will be effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

The Registered Notes will represent our unsecured obligations. As of September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding secured indebtedness, and outstanding unsecured indebtedness in the principal amount of approximately $500 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had borrowing capacity of $215 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility, all of which was undrawn. Holders of our future secured indebtedness under our senior secured revolving credit facility will have claims with respect to certain assets constituting collateral for their indebtedness that are prior to your claims on such assets under the Registered Notes. In the event of a default on the Registered Notes or our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, those assets would be available to satisfy obligations with respect to the indebtedness and obligations secured thereby before they would be available to satisfy obligations with respect to the Registered Notes. Accordingly, our secured indebtedness will be effectively senior to the Registered Notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceeding, our secured creditors will have a

15

superior claim to their respective collateral. If any of the foregoing events occur, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the Registered Notes. Holders of the Registered Notes will participate ratably with all holders of our senior unsecured indebtedness and with all of our other general senior creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. As a result, holders of Registered Notes may receive less, ratably, than our secured creditors. The terms of the indenture limit our ability to create, assume or allow to exist any debt secured by a lien upon certain properties. However, these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. See “Description of the Registered Notes—Certain Covenants.”

An active trading market for the Registered Notes may not develop or if developed, be maintained.

The Registered Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated quotation system. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the Registered Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the Registered Notes on any automated quotation system. In addition, the Registered Notes will not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not trade interchangeably with the 2028 Notes (upon settlement and, accordingly, the trading market may be limited. The initial purchasers of the Restricted Notes have advised us that they currently intend to continue to make a market in the Registered Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and the ability of the initial purchasers to make a market in the Registered Notes may be impacted by changes in any regulatory requirements (including as a result of regulatory developments such as the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 15c2-11 and its application to debt securities) applicable to the marketing, holding and trading of, and issuing quotations with respect to, the Registered Notes. Furthermore, market-making activities may be limited during the exchange offer or while the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement is pending. To the extent that an active trading market for the Registered Notes does not develop, the liquidity and trading prices for the Registered Notes may be harmed. Thus, you may not be able to liquidate your investment rapidly or at all.

Even if an active trading market for the Registered Notes does develop, there is no guarantee that it will continue. In addition, if the Registered Notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.

We could enter into various transactions that could increase the amount of our outstanding debt, adversely affect our capital structure or credit ratings or otherwise adversely affect holders of the Registered Notes.

The terms of the Registered Notes do not prevent us from incurring indebtedness, paying dividends and other distributions, repurchasing securities or entering into a variety of acquisition, change-of-control, refinancing, recapitalization or other highly leveraged transactions. As a result, we could enter into a variety of transactions that could increase the total amount of our outstanding indebtedness, adversely affect our capital structure or credit ratings or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the Registered Notes. Also, we cannot assure you that our credit ratings will not be downgraded in the future. A negative change in our credit ratings could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the Registered Notes.

We may not be able to purchase your Registered Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in “Description of the Registered Notes—Change of Control Repurchase Offer”), we will be required to offer to purchase each holder’s Registered Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. We may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the Registered Notes that holders tender to us upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. The occurrence of a Change of Control could also constitute an event of default under any of our other debt agreements. In addition, even if sufficient funds were otherwise available, the terms of our Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2022, among us, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), or other indebtedness may prohibit us from prepaying the Registered Notes

16

before their scheduled maturity. Consequently, if we are not able to prepay the outstanding debt under our Credit Agreement or other indebtedness containing such restrictions or obtain requisite consents, we will be unable to fulfill our repurchase obligations, resulting in a default under the indenture.

See “Description of the Registered Notes—Change of Control Repurchase Offer.”

To service our indebtedness, we will use a substantial amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash to service our indebtedness depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the Registered Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This ability, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that cash flow generated from our business and future borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the Registered Notes, and to fund our other liquidity needs.

Redemption may adversely affect your return on the Registered Notes.

The Registered Notes are redeemable at any time at our option, and therefore we may choose to redeem some or all of the Registered Notes, including at times when prevailing interest rates are relatively low. As a result, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds you receive from the redemption in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on your Registered Notes being redeemed.

An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the market value of the Registered Notes.

In general, as market interest rates rise, debt securities bearing interest at fixed rates of interest decline in value. Consequently, if market interest rates increase, the market value of the Registered Notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

You may have difficulty selling the Restricted Notes that you do not exchange.

If you do not exchange your Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Restricted Notes described in the legend on your Restricted Notes and we will not be required to offer another opportunity for you to exchange your Restricted Notes for registered notes, except in the limited circumstances provided under the Registration Rights Agreement. The restrictions on transfer of your Restricted Notes arise because we issued the Restricted Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may offer or sell the Restricted Notes only if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or are offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. Following consummation of the exchange offer, we do not intend to register under the Securities Act Restricted Notes that are not exchanged. We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Restricted Notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, through a subsequent exchange offer or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any Restricted Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Restricted Notes. See “Terms of the Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange” for a discussion of the possible consequences of failing to exchange your Restricted Notes.

Because we anticipate that most holders of the Restricted Notes will elect to exchange their Restricted Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any Restricted Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any Restricted Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer

17

will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your Restricted Notes, you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Restricted Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Restricted Notes could be adversely affected.

Broker-dealers or noteholders may become subject to the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Any broker-dealer that exchanges its Restricted Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Registered Notes or resells Registered Notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer, may be deemed to have received restricted securities and may be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction by that broker-dealer. Any profit on the resale of the Registered Notes and any commission or concessions received by a broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

In addition to broker-dealers, any noteholder that exchanges its Restricted Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Registered Notes may be deemed to have received restricted securities and may be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction by that noteholder.

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive freely tradable Registered Notes.

Delivery of the Registered Notes in exchange for the Restricted Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only if such tenders comply with the exchange offer procedures described herein, including the timely receipt by the exchange agent of book-entry transfer of the Restricted Notes into such exchange agent’s account at DTC, as depositary, including an agent’s message. We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Restricted Notes for exchange. The method of delivery of Restricted Notes and the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holders of the Restricted Notes.

Consummation of the exchange offer may not occur.

The exchange offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. See “Terms of the Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” Even if the exchange offer is completed, it may not be completed on the timing described in this prospectus. Accordingly, holders participating in the exchange offer may have to wait longer than expected to receive their Registered Notes, during which time such holders will not be able to effect transfers of their Restricted Notes tendered in the exchange offer. Until we announce whether we have accepted valid tenders of Restricted Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, no assurance can be given that the exchange offer will be completed. In addition, subject to applicable law and as provided in this prospectus, we may, in our sole discretion, extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of or terminate any of the exchange offer at any time before our announcement of whether we will accept valid tenders of Restricted Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, which we expect to make as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration date.

18

USE OF PROCEEDS

The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer or the issuance of the Registered Notes. In consideration for issuing the Registered Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange Restricted Notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled, and, as such, issuing the Registered Notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness.

19

TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

We and the initial purchasers of the Restricted Notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Restricted Notes on October 2, 2023. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed, among other things, to use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) file a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Restricted Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement) and (2) cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by September 26, 2024. In furtherance of the foregoing, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-                ) with respect to the exchange offer and the Registered Notes. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer promptly after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that we determine that a registered exchange offer is not available or may not be completed because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, or, if for any reason, the exchange offer is not completed on or prior to September 26, 2024, or if, in certain circumstances, we receive a written request from certain holders of the Restricted Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement, then we will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act that would cover resales of the registrable securities held by such persons.

After the SEC declares this exchange offer registration statement effective, we will offer the Registered Notes in return for the Restricted Notes. The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) from the date we mail or electronically deliver notice of the exchange offer to the holders of the Restricted Notes. For each Restricted Note surrendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, the holder of the Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Restricted Note. Interest on the Registered Notes will be payable semi-annually and will accrue from August 1, 2023. Holders of the Registered Notes will receive the same interest payments that they would have received with respect to the Restricted Notes had they not accepted the exchange offer (except that the terms of the Registered Notes will not include an increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement).

Under existing SEC interpretations, the Registered Notes acquired in the exchange offer by holders of Restricted Notes will be freely transferable without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Registered Notes is acquiring the Registered Notes in the ordinary course of its business, has no arrangement or understanding to participate in the distribution of the Registered Notes and is not an affiliate of the Company, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; however, broker-dealers (“participating broker-dealers”) receiving Registered Notes in a registered exchange offer will also have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Registered Notes. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Registered Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Restricted Notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement relating to such Registered Notes.

This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of up to 90 days after the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, we will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers.

A holder of Restricted Notes who wishes to exchange its Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent that (1) any Registered Notes to be received by it will be acquired in

20

the ordinary course of its business, (2) it is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Registered Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company and (4) if such holder is a broker-dealer that will receive the Registered Notes for its own account in exchange for the Restricted Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such holder will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Registered Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that a “registration default” will occur if the exchange offer is not for any reason completed by September 26, 2024 (or, if required, the applicable shelf registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to such date), or if any shelf registration statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the related prospectus ceases to be usable at any time during the required effectiveness period (subject to certain exceptions), and such failure to remain effective or be usable exists for more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period. In that case, the annual interest rate borne by the Restricted Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum) until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or such registration statement and related prospectus become effective or usable again. See “Exchange Offer; Registration Rights.”

Resale of Registered Notes

Based on the position that the staff of the SEC enunciated in no-action letters issued to Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), the Registered Notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act, and without delivering a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, if the holder of the Restricted Notes who wishes to exchange its Restricted Notes for Registered Notes can make the representations set forth below under “—Procedures for Tendering the Restricted Notes.” However, if such holder intends to participate in a distribution of the Registered Notes, is a broker-dealer that acquired the Restricted Notes directly from us for its own account in the initial offering of the Restricted Notes and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities or is an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, such holder will not be eligible to participate in the exchange offer, and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of its Restricted Notes. See “—Additional Obligations” below.

A broker-dealer that has acquired Restricted Notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities has to deliver a prospectus in order to resell any Registered Notes it receives for its own account in the exchange offer. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of up to 90 days after the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, we will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information regarding broker-dealers.

The exchange offer is not being made to, nor will we accept tenders for exchange from, holders of Restricted Notes in any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or the acceptance of the exchange offer would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws.

21

Terms of the Exchange Offer

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any and all Restricted Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration time. The Restricted Notes may only be tendered in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. We will issue $2,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of Registered Notes in exchange for a corresponding principal amount of Restricted Notes surrendered in the exchange offer. In exchange for each Restricted Note surrendered in the exchange offer, we will issue a Registered Note with a like principal amount.

The form and terms of the Registered Notes will be substantially identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the Restricted Notes, except that the Registered Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Registered Notes will evidence the same debt as the Restricted Notes. The Registered Notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same Indenture that authorized the issuance of the Restricted Notes. Consequently, both the Registered Notes and the Restricted Notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer will be treated as a single series of debt securities under the Indenture for all purposes of the Indenture, along with the 2028 Notes and any additional notes issued pursuant to the Indenture in the future.

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes being tendered for exchange.

There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of Restricted Notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Restricted Notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding, will continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the Indenture.

We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered Restricted Notes when we have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the Registered Notes from us and delivering the Registered Notes to such holders. Subject to the terms of the exchange offer and the Registration Rights Agreement, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and to not accept for exchange any Restricted Notes not previously accepted for exchange.

We will pay all charges and expenses, other than those brokerage commissions or fees or transfer or other taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read the section titled “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.

Expiration Time; Extensions; Amendments

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2024, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend the expiration time of the exchange offer.

In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent in writing of any extension of the exchange offer. We will notify registered holders of the Restricted Notes in writing or by public announcement of the extension, if any, of the expiration time by no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration time.

22

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

Any such delay in acceptance, extension or termination will be followed as promptly as practicable by written notice or public announcement thereof to the registered holders of Restricted Notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of the Restricted Notes of such amendment.

Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we shall have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by issuing a timely press release to a financial news service. If we make any material change to the exchange offer, we will disclose this change by means of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus and will distribute an amended or supplemented prospectus to each registered holder of Restricted Notes. In addition, we will extend the exchange offer for an additional five to ten business days as required by the Exchange Act, depending on the significance of the amendment, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during that period. We will promptly notify the exchange agent by written notice of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Notwithstanding any other terms of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any Registered Notes for, any Restricted Notes, and we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting any Restricted Notes for exchange, if:

In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Restricted Notes of any holder that has not made the representations described in the letter of transmittal and under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer,” “—Procedures for Tendering the Restricted Notes” and “Plan of Distribution,” and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to it an appropriate form for registration of the Registered Notes under the Securities Act.

We expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any Restricted Notes by giving written notice (including by public announcement) of such extension to the registered holders of the Restricted Notes as promptly as practicable. During any such extensions, all Restricted Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange unless they have been previously withdrawn. We will return any Restricted Notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and to reject for exchange any Restricted Notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the

23

exchange offer specified above. We will give written notice or public announcement of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the registered holders of the Restricted Notes as promptly as practicable. In the case of any extension, such notice will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration time.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times in our sole discretion; provided that any waiver of a condition of tender with respect to the exchange offer will apply to all of the outstanding Restricted Notes and not only to particular Restricted Notes. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, that failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.

In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Restricted Notes tendered, and will not issue Registered Notes in exchange for any Restricted Notes, if at such time any stop order will be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

Procedures for Tendering the Restricted Notes

Except as described below, a holder tendering Restricted Notes must, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date:

Transmittal will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the exchange agent.

In addition, the exchange agent must receive, before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date book-entry transfer of the Restricted Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, the book-entry transfer facility.

The term “agent’s message” means a computer-generated message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by, and makes the representations and warranties contained in, the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against such participant.

The method of delivery of Restricted Notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents is at the holder’s election and risk. If delivery is by mail, we recommend that holders use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, holders should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. Holders should not send letters of transmittal or Restricted Notes to anyone other than the exchange agent.

If the holder is a beneficial owner whose Restricted Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and wishes to tender, such holder should promptly instruct the registered holder to tender on its behalf. Any registered holder that is a participant in DTC’s book-entry transfer facility system may make book-entry delivery of the Restricted Notes by causing DTC to transfer the Restricted Notes into the exchange agent’s account.

24

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed unless the Restricted Notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantees must be by an “eligible institution.” An “eligible institution” is a financial institution, including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses, that is a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program.

We will reasonably determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of Restricted Notes tendered for exchange and all questions concerning the timing of receipts and acceptance of tenders. These determinations will be final and binding.

We reserve the right to reject any particular Restricted Note not validly tendered, or any acceptance that might, in our judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects or irregularities with respect to the form of, or procedures applicable to, the tender of any particular Restricted Note before the expiration time. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Restricted Notes must be cured before the expiration time of the exchange offer. None of the Company, the exchange agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any tender of the Restricted Notes. None of the Company, the exchange agent or any other person will incur any liability for failing to give notification of any defect or irregularity.

If the letter of transmittal is executed by a person other than the registered holder of Restricted Notes, the letter of transmittal must be accompanied by the Restricted Notes endorsed by the registered holder or written instrument of transfer or exchange in satisfactory form, duly executed by the registered holder, in either case with the signature guaranteed by an eligible institution. In addition, in either case, the original endorsement or the instrument of transfer must be signed exactly as the name of any registered holder appears on the Restricted Notes.

If the letter of transmittal or any Restricted Notes or powers of attorney are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, these persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance for exchange and withdrawal of tendered Restricted Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and its determination will be final and binding.

By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, each tendering holder of Restricted Notes will represent, among other things, that:

25

Acceptance of Restricted Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Registered Notes

Upon satisfaction of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept, promptly after the expiration date, all Restricted Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. We will issue the Registered Notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer and acceptance of the Restricted Notes. See “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” above. For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Restricted Notes for exchange when, as and if we have given written notice of such acceptance to the exchange agent.

For each Restricted Note accepted for exchange, the holder of the Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Restricted Note. Restricted Notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of completion of the exchange offer. Holders of Restricted Notes whose Restricted Notes are accepted for exchange will not receive any payment for accrued interest on the Restricted Notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date, the record date for which occurs on or after completion of the exchange offer and will be deemed to have waived their rights to receive such accrued interest on the Restricted Notes.

In all cases, issuance of Registered Notes for Restricted Notes will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of:

Unaccepted or non-exchanged Restricted Notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder of the Restricted Notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer. In the case of Restricted Notes tendered by book-entry transfer in accordance with the book-entry procedures described below, the non-exchanged Restricted Notes will be returned or recredited promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account for the Restricted Notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s systems and is tendering Restricted Notes must make book-entry delivery of the Restricted Notes by causing DTC to transfer those Restricted Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer, including its ATOP procedures. The participant should transmit its acceptance to DTC prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. DTC will verify this acceptance, execute a book-entry transfer of the tendered Restricted Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and then send to the exchange agent confirmation of this book-entry transfer, which confirmation must be received prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The confirmation of this book-entry transfer will include an agent’s message confirming that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against the participant. Delivery of Registered Notes issued in the exchange offer may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC. However, the letter of transmittal (or an agent’s message in lieu thereof), with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must be transmitted to, and received by, the exchange agent at the address listed below under “—Exchange Agent” (or its account at DTC with respect to an agent’s message) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, holders of Restricted Notes may withdraw (and resubmit) their tenders at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. For a withdrawal to be effective, the

26

exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at one of the addresses set forth below under “—Exchange Agent,” or the holder must comply with the appropriate procedure of DTC’s ATOP system.

Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn, identify the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of the Restricted Notes and the CUSIP number of the Restricted Notes) and, where Restricted Notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which the Restricted Notes were registered if different from that of the withdrawing holder. Any such notice of withdrawal must also be signed by the person having tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which these Restricted Notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the Trustee for the Restricted Notes to register the transfer of these notes into the name of the person having made the original tender and withdrawing the tender and, if applicable because the Restricted Notes have been tendered through the book-entry procedure, specify the name and number of the participant’s account at DTC to be credited if different than that of the person having tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn.

If Restricted Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Restricted Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any Restricted Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any Restricted Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder (or, in the case of Restricted Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account of DTC according to the procedures described above, the Restricted Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for Restricted Notes) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn Restricted Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering the Restricted Notes” above at any time prior to the expiration time.

Exchange Agent

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. has been appointed as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct questions and requests for assistance or requests for additional copies of this prospectus, or the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

Attention: CTSO Mail Operations

For Information Call:

(800) 344-5128

For Facsimile Transmission (for Eligible Institutions only):

(877) 407-4679

Delivery to an address other than as set forth above does not constitute a valid delivery to the exchange agent.

27

Fees and Expenses

We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We have agreed under the Registration Rights Agreement to pay any and all expenses incident to our performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement, excluding the fees and expenses of counsel to the holders of the Restricted Notes or any underwriters (in the event that any participating holders sell Restricted Notes to any underwriters for reoffering to the public) and underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer fees, and we will indemnify and hold harmless the holders of the Restricted Notes (including the initial purchasers, among other persons) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including out-of-pocket expenses for the exchange agent, will be paid by us. We will not pay for underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Restricted Notes by a holder.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

Holders of Restricted Notes who do not exchange their Restricted Notes for Registered Notes under the exchange offer will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Restricted Notes as set forth in the legend printed on the Restricted Notes as a consequence of the issuance of the Restricted Notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and otherwise as set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private placement offering of the Restricted Notes.

In general, you may not offer or sell the Restricted Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the Restricted Notes under the Securities Act. Based on interpretations of the SEC staff, Registered Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by their holders (other than any such holder that is the Company’s “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act so long as the holders acquired the Registered Notes in the ordinary course of the holders’ business and the holders have no arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Registered Notes to be acquired in the exchange offer. Any holder who tenders Restricted Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Registered Notes could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction.

We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any Restricted Notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Exchange Offer—You may have difficulty selling the Restricted Notes that you do not exchange.”

Accounting Treatment

We will record the Registered Notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the Restricted Notes for which they were exchanged in respect of the offer made pursuant to this prospectus, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes in connection with the exchange offer. We will expense the costs of the exchange offer and amortize the remaining unamortized expenses related to the issuance of the Restricted Notes over the term of the Registered Notes.

Additional Obligations

In the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed that under certain circumstances we would file a shelf registration statement with the SEC covering resales of notes by holders thereof if, for any reason, the exchange

28

offer is not completed on or prior to September 26, 2024 or if, following such date, we receive a written request from certain holders of the Restricted Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement. In such an event, we would be under a continuing obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective and to provide copies of the latest version of the prospectus contained therein to any broker-dealer that requests copies for use in a resale.

Other

Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take. We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Restricted Notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any Restricted Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Restricted Notes.

29

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTERED NOTES

The Restricted Notes were, and the Registered Notes will be, issued under an existing indenture, dated November 21, 2014, between us and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture dated February 6, 2018 and by a third supplemental indenture dated October 2, 2023 (the “Indenture”). We have summarized selected portions of the Indenture and the Notes below. This summary is not complete and is subject to, and qualified by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes. We urge you to read the Indenture and the Notes, because these documents define your rights as holders of the notes. Additionally, copies of the Indenture are available without charge upon request to us at the address provided in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.” You will find the definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this section under the heading “—Certain Definitions.” In this “Description of the Registered Notes,” all references to “Oceaneering,” “we” or “us” mean Oceaneering International, Inc. only, unless we state otherwise or the context clearly indicates otherwise. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “notes” in this “Description of the Registered Notes,” we mean collectively the 2028 Notes, the Restricted Notes and the Registered Notes.

On February 6, 2018, we issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. The Restricted Notes are, and the Registered Notes will be, treated as a single series and will vote together as a single class with the 2028 Notes, and will have identical terms and conditions as the 2028 Notes, other than the issue date, the initial interest accrual date, the first interest payment date, the offering price and the CUSIP number. The Restricted Notes are not, and the Registered Notes will not be, fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and do not and will not trade interchangeably with the 2028 Notes upon settlement.

General

The following table sets forth the title (including the interest rate), CUSIP number, maturity date, maximum aggregate principal amount, interest payment dates and record dates of the Registered Notes offered.

The Registered Notes will constitute a single series of senior debt securities under the Indenture with the 2028 Notes and the Restricted Notes. We may, from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the existing holders of the notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Registered Notes issued in this exchange offer and the Restricted Notes and 2028 Notes previously issued, except for the issue date, the offering price and, if applicable, the date from which interest will accrue. Any additional notes, including the Registered Notes, having such similar terms together with the 2028 Notes will constitute a single series of debt securities under the Indenture. We may also from time to time repurchase the notes in open market purchases, by tender offer or in negotiated transactions without prior notice to holders.

The Registered Notes will mature on February 1, 2028 and bear interest at the rate of 6.000% per annum. Interest on the Registered Notes will accrue from August 1, 2023. Interest on the Registered Notes will be paid semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 to the holders of record at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. Interest on the notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If any interest payment date, redemption date or the maturity date of the notes is not a business day at any place of payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next business

30

day at that place of payment. In that case, no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the applicable interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be.

Principal is payable, and notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at our office or agency in New York, New York or St. Paul, Minnesota, which is initially the office or agency of the Trustee in New York, New York or St. Paul, Minnesota. See “—Book-Entry Delivery and Settlement.”

The indenture does not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the making of investments, the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens or mortgages, or the issuance, redemption or repurchase of securities by us, other than as described below under “—Certain Covenants.” The indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions to protect holders of the notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a fundamental change, other than as discussed below under “—Change of Control Repurchase Offer.” The notes are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any of our existing or future subsidiaries.

The notes are not subject to a sinking fund provision.

Ranking and Additional Debt

The notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank:

The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt that we or any of our subsidiaries may incur or issue, nor does it restrict transactions between us and our affiliates or dividends and other distributions by us or our subsidiaries. We may issue debt securities under the indenture from time to time in the same or separate series, each up to the aggregate amount we authorize from time to time for that series. As of September 30, 2023, we would have had no outstanding secured indebtedness, no outstanding indebtedness expressly subordinated to the notes, and outstanding unsecured indebtedness in the principal amount of $500 million, and our subsidiaries would have had no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding intercompany debt). As of September 30, 2023, we had borrowing capacity of $215 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility, all of which was undrawn.

Subject to exceptions, and subject to compliance with the applicable requirements, set forth in the Indenture, we may discharge our obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Registered Notes as described below under “—Defeasance.”

Optional Redemption

The notes are redeemable at our option, at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, on any date prior to maturity in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. If the relevant redemption date occurs prior to November 1, 2027 (three months prior to maturity), the redemption price payable will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the redemption date plus a “make-whole premium.” If the relevant redemption date occurs on or after November 1, 2027 (three months prior to maturity), the redemption price payable will be equal

31

to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the redemption date (with no make-whole premium). Accrued and unpaid interest payable as part of any redemption price will exclude any interest that is payable in respect of a record date that occurs on or prior to the redemption date (and any such interest will instead be payable to holders of record on the applicable record date). The redemption price will never be less than 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The amount of the make-whole premium with respect to any note (or portion of a note) to be redeemed (if applicable) will be equal to the excess, if any, of:

over

The present values of interest and principal payments referred to in clause (i) above will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis. Those present values will be calculated by discounting the amount of each payment of interest or principal from the date that each payment would have been payable, but for the redemption, to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 40 basis points.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed by us as of the second business day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by us.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their successors and two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary Treasury Dealers (defined below) specified from time to time by us, except that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we are required to designate as a substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

32

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes called for redemption. Prior to any redemption date, we are required to deposit with a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the notes to be redeemed on such date. If we are redeeming less than all the notes, the Trustee under the indenture must select the notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes represented by global securities, in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures).

We will send a notice of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption notes and portions of notes in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee has no obligation to determine or calculate any rate, price or amount in respect of any optional redemption under the Indenture.

Change of Control Repurchase Offer

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless we have exercised our right to redeem all of the notes as described above, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of notes to repurchase all or, at the election of the holder, any part (in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, we will give notice to each holder, with a copy to the Trustee, in the manner provided in the indenture describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given. The notice shall, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the notes, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, we will, to the extent lawful:

The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the purchase price for the notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each

33

holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

We will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and such third party purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The provisions of the indenture do not afford holders of notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction affecting Oceaneering that may adversely affect holders of notes, if such transaction is not the type of transaction included within the definition of Change of Control. A transaction involving the management of Oceaneering or its affiliates, or a transaction involving a recapitalization of Oceaneering, will result in a Change of Control only if it is the type of transaction specified in such definition. The definition of Change of Control may be amended or modified with the written consent of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes. See “—Modification and Waiver” below.

In addition, an offer to repurchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Repurchase Event, after the public announcement of the Change of Control.

The foregoing provisions of the notes use the following defined terms.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the first public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction effected to create a holding company for us will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) pursuant to such transaction we become a wholly owned subsidiary of such

34

holding company and (ii) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following consummation of such transaction are the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to consummation of such transaction.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our properties or assets and those of our subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) and BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P) (or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of our control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any Rating Agency selected by us as a replacement Rating Agency).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and any successor to its rating agency business.

“Rating Agency” means (i) each of Moody’s and S&P and (ii) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of our control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by us as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and any successor to its rating agency business.

“Voting Stock” of a person means all classes of capital stock of such person then outstanding and normally entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote generally in the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions).

Certain Covenants

Limitations on Liens

In the supplemental indenture, we have agreed that Oceaneering will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed, secured by a lien on any restricted property, or on capital stock of a restricted subsidiary, without effectively providing, concurrently with the incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee of such secured indebtedness, that the notes (together with, if Oceaneering shall so determine, any of its other indebtedness or the indebtedness of any such restricted subsidiary then existing or thereafter created ranking on a parity with the notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured indebtedness. This covenant has exceptions that permit:

35

In addition, without securing the notes as described above, Oceaneering and its subsidiaries may create, assume or allow to exist secured debt that would otherwise be prohibited, in an aggregate amount that does not exceed a “basket” (reduced by the then outstanding Attributable Debt related to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (as defined below) as to which the requirements in clauses (2)(i) through (2)(iii) of the first paragraph of “—Restrictions on Sale and Leaseback Transactions” below have not been complied with) equal to 15% of our consolidated net tangible assets. When determining whether secured debt is permitted by this exception, Oceaneering and its subsidiaries must include in the calculation of the “basket” amount all of our other secured debt that would otherwise be prohibited.

The foregoing covenant description and the related provisions of the indenture use the following defined terms.

“capital stock” means, with respect to any person, any and all shares, interests, rights to purchase (other than convertible or exchangeable indebtedness), warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests (however designated) in equity issued by that person.

“consolidated net tangible assets” means, as of any date of determination, the total amount of assets after deducting therefrom:

36

“lien” means and includes any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance.

“Permitted Liens” means:

“person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or other agency or political subdivision thereof or other entity of any kind.

“restricted property” means any real property, manufacturing plant, warehouse, office building or other physical facility, or any item of marine, transportation or construction equipment or other like depreciable assets

37

of Oceaneering or any of its restricted subsidiaries, whether owned on or acquired after the original issue date of the existing notes, unless, in the opinion of the board of directors of Oceaneering, such plant or facility or other asset is not of material importance to the total business conducted by Oceaneering and its restricted subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, that any such individual property shall be deemed to not be a restricted property (without the need for any board resolution) if such property does not have a fair value in excess of 0.25% of the total assets included in Oceaneering’s most recent quarterly consolidated balance sheet, provided further that the aggregate fair value of properties excluded pursuant to the preceding proviso shall not exceed $100,000,000.

“restricted subsidiary” means any subsidiary of Oceaneering which owns a restricted property.

“subsidiary” means (i) any corporation of which a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by us or by one or more of our other subsidiaries, or both, (ii) a partnership in which we or our subsidiaries are, at the date of determination, a general or limited partner of such partnership, but only if we or our subsidiaries are entitled to receive more than fifty percent of the assets of such partnership upon its dissolution, or (iii) any other person (other than a corporation or partnership) in which we or any of our subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, at the date of determination thereof, have (x) at least a majority ownership interest or (y) the power to elect or direct the election of a majority of the directors or other governing body of such person.

Restrictions on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

Under the terms of the notes, we will not, and will not permit any restricted subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless:

In addition, we and our restricted subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if we or the restricted subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a lien on restricted property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to such transaction pursuant to “Limitation on liens” above without having to secure equally and ratably the notes (without taking into account clauses (1) through (10) in the first paragraph thereof).

The foregoing covenant description and the related provisions of the indenture use the following defined terms.

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the time of determination, the lesser of

38

“Sale and Leaseback Transaction” means a sale or transfer made by us or a restricted subsidiary (except a sale or transfer made to us or another restricted subsidiary) of any restricted property, if such sale or transfer is made with the agreement, commitment or intention of leasing such property to us or a restricted subsidiary, other than: (i) any such transaction involving a lease for a term (including renewals or extensions exercisable by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries) of not more than three years; or (ii) any such transaction entered into at the time of, or within 12 months after the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction or improvement, or the commencement of commercial operation of the restricted property.

Reporting

So long as the notes are outstanding, Oceaneering will furnish to the Trustee and make available on its website copies of such annual and quarterly reports and such information, documents and other reports as are required under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after the date such information, documents or other reports were filed with the SEC. Oceaneering will be deemed to have furnished such reports, information and documents to the Trustee if Oceaneering has filed such reports, information and documents with the SEC via the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR) filing system (or any successor system) or has made available such reports, information and documents on its website. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to ensure that such filing has occurred.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt thereof will not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including Oceaneering’s compliance with any of its covenants under the indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on officer’s certificates and Oceaneering’s compliance certificates required by the indenture). The Trustee is not obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, Oceaneering’s compliance with this covenant or to determine whether such reports, information or documents have been posted on any website or filed with the SEC (via EDGAR or otherwise).

In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the reports required by this covenant, Oceaneering will furnish to holders thereof and prospective investors in the notes, upon their request, the information, if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) (or any successor provision) of the Securities Act.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

The indenture generally permits a consolidation, amalgamation or merger between us and another entity. It also permits the sale by us of our assets substantially as an entirety. The indenture provides, however, that we may consolidate or amalgamate with another entity to form a new entity or merge into any other entity or transfer or dispose of our assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity only if:

On the assumption by the successor of the obligations under the indenture, the successor will be substituted for us, and we will be relieved of any further obligation under the indenture and the notes.

39

Events of Default

The following are events of default with respect to the notes:

The Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the notes of any default or event of default, except in any payment on the notes, if the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of the notes.

If an event of default for the notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, or, in some cases, 25% in principal amount of all debt securities affected, voting as one class, may declare the principal of and all accrued and all unpaid interest on the notes to be immediately due and payable. If an event of default relating to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on all the notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any holder. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes, or of a majority in principal amount of all debt securities affected, voting as one class, may in some cases rescind this accelerated payment requirement. Depending on the terms of our other indebtedness, an event of default under the indenture may give rise to cross defaults on our other indebtedness.

A holder of the notes is able to pursue any remedy under the indenture only if:

This provision does not, however, affect the right of a holder of the notes to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment.

In most cases, holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes, or of all debt securities affected, voting as one class, will be able to direct the time, method and place of:

The indenture requires us to file with the Trustee each year a written statement as to our compliance with the covenants contained in the indenture.

40

Modification and Waiver

We may amend or supplement the indenture if the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes, acting as one class, consent to it. Without the consent of the holder of the notes, however, no amendment or supplement may:

We and the Trustee may agree to amend or supplement the indenture or waive any provision of the indenture without the consent of any holders of the notes in some circumstances, including:

41

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes, or of all debt securities affected, voting as one class, may waive any existing or past default or event of default with respect to the notes. Those holders may not, however, waive any default or event of default in any payment on the notes or compliance with a provision that cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each holder affected.

Discharge and Defeasance

We will be discharged from all obligations under the indenture with respect to the notes, except for surviving obligations relating to any conversion rights and to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, if:

To exercise our right to be discharged, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel and an officers’ certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

In addition to our right of discharge described above, if we deposit with the Trustee funds or government securities sufficient to make payments on the notes on the dates those payments are due and payable, then, at our option, either of the following will occur:

If we defease the notes, the holders of the notes will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for our obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated notes and maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust. In the case of covenant defeasance, some of our other obligations under the indenture and the notes, as described above, will also survive.

In order to elect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, we will be required to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the holders of the notes to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we elect legal defeasance, that opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect.

Notices

Notices to holders of notes will be sent to the holder’s address as it appears in the notes register.

Information Regarding the Trustee

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the indenture, has been appointed by us as paying agent, registrar and custodian with regard to the notes. The Trustee and its affiliates provide and may from time to time in the future provide other services to us in the ordinary course of their business.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee must use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The Trustee will become obligated to exercise any of its

42

powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of the notes only after those holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it.

The indenture limits the right of the Trustee, if it becomes one of our creditors, to obtain payment of claims or to realize on certain property received for any such claim, as security or otherwise. The Trustee may engage in other transactions with us. If it acquires any conflicting interest, however, it must eliminate that conflict or resign.

Payment and Paying Agent

We will make payments on the notes in U.S. dollars at the office of the Trustee or any paying agent we designate. At our option, we may make payments by check mailed to the holder’s registered address or, with respect to global notes, by wire transfer. We will make interest payments to the person in whose name the note is registered at the close of business on the record date for the interest payment.

We have designated the Trustee under the indenture as our paying agent for payments on the notes. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts.

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and paying agent will repay to us upon written request any funds held by them for payments on the notes that remain unclaimed for two years after the date upon which that payment has become due. After repayment to us, holders entitled to those funds must look only to us for payment.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the notes are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 is applicable.

Book-Entry Delivery and Settlement

We will issue the Registered Notes in the form of one or more global notes in definitive, fully registered form. The global notes will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, and will remain in the custody of the Trustee.

Beneficial interests in the global notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may hold interests in the global notes through DTC either directly if they are participants in DTC or indirectly through organizations that are participants in DTC. DTC has advised us as follows:

43

The rules applicable to DTC and its direct and indirect participants are on file with the SEC.

We have provided the description of the operations and procedures of DTC in this prospectus solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of DTC and are subject to change by it from time to time. Neither we nor the Trustee takes any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and you are urged to contact DTC or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Registered Notes represented by a global note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in notes represented by a global note to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, DTC or that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Registered Notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the Indenture and under the Registered Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have notes represented by that global note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture or under the Registered Notes for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of Registered Notes under the Indenture or the global note.

Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of notes by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to the Registered Notes.

Payments on the Registered Notes represented by the global notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment on the Registered Notes represented by a global note, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the global note as shown in the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. The participants will be responsible for those payments.

44

Initial settlement for the Registered Notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds. Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of the Registered Notes among its participants, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be changed or discontinued at any time.

Secondary market trading between Clearstream participants and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear, as applicable.

Cross-market transfers between participants in DTC, on the one hand, and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with the DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective U.S. depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global securities through DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement. Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream purchasing an interest in a global security from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant participant in Euroclear or Clearstream, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global security by or through a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in those settlement systems. However, the settlement systems are not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their participants or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Notes

Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as the beneficial owner of the Registered Notes only if:

45

EXCHANGE OFFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The following summary includes a description of the material terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement. We urge you to read the Registration Rights Agreement in its entirety because it, not the following summary, will define your rights as a holder of Registered Notes under that agreement. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement has been filed with the SEC and may also be obtained upon request at the address set forth under “Incorporation by Reference.”

On October 2, 2023, we and the initial purchasers of the Restricted Notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the Restricted Notes, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to (1) cause to be filed with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement on an appropriate registration form with respect to an offer to exchange the Restricted Notes for Registered Notes having substantially identical terms as the Restricted Notes and evidencing the same indebtedness as the Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain provisions relating to additional interest, will bear a different CUSIP number than the Restricted Notes, will not entitle their holders to registration rights and will be subject to terms relating to book-entry procedures and administrative terms relating to transfers that differ from those of the Restricted Notes, as discussed below), and (2) cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

When the SEC declares the registration statement effective, we will offer the Registered Notes in return for the Restricted Notes. The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 business days (or shorter or longer if required by applicable law) after the date we deliver notice of the exchange offer to the holders of Restricted Notes. For each Restricted Note surrendered to us under the exchange offer, the holder will receive a Registered Note of equal principal amount. Interest on the Registered Notes will accrue from August 1, 2023.

Each holder of Restricted Notes that participates in the exchange offer will be required to represent:

We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer promptly after the registration statement becomes effective. Under existing interpretations of the SEC contained in several no-action letters to third parties, the Registered Notes will generally be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any broker-dealer that participates in the exchange must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act when it resells the Registered Notes.

Restricted Notes not tendered in the exchange offer will bear interest at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and be subject to all the terms and conditions specified in the indenture, including transfer restrictions, but will not retain any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement (including with respect to additional interest) after the consummation of the exchange offer.

46

In the event that we determine that a registered exchange offer is not available or may not be completed because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, or, if for any reason, an exchange offer is not completed by the 360th day after issuance of the Restricted Notes, or, in certain circumstances, upon written request from a holder of Restricted Notes, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Restricted Notes, and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the earliest of (A) the time when any such Restricted Notes covered by the shelf registration statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations by non-affiliates of ours under clause (d) of Rule 144, (B) the date on which all such Restricted Notes are disposed of in accordance with the shelf registration statement and (C) one year after its original effective date. We will, in the event of such a shelf registration, provide to each holder of Restricted Notes copies of a prospectus, notify each holder of Restricted Notes when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions to permit resales of the Restricted Notes. A holder that sells Restricted Notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to make certain representations to us (as described above), to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with those sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that are applicable to such a holder (including certain indemnification obligations). Holders of Restricted Notes will also be required to suspend their use of the prospectus included in the shelf registration statement under specified circumstances upon receipt of notice from us. Under applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, our affiliates will not be permitted to exchange their Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offer.

A “registration default” will occur if the exchange offer is not for any reason completed by the 360th day after issuance of the Restricted Notes (or, if required, the applicable shelf registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to such date), or if any shelf registration statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the related prospectus ceases to be usable at any time during the required effectiveness period (subject to certain exceptions), and such failure to remain effective or be usable exists for more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period. In that case, the annual interest rate borne by the Restricted Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum) until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or such registration statement and related prospectus become effective or usable again.

Any amounts of additional interest due will be payable in cash on the same original interest payment dates as interest on the Restricted Notes is payable. The Registered Notes will be accepted for clearance through DTC.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offer. It does not purport to contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This discussion is limited to holders of Restricted Notes who hold the Restricted Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities and published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein.

This discussion is for general information purposes only and does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences and considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of such holder’s particular facts and circumstances and does not apply to holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as, for example, banks or other financial institutions; insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or mutual funds; holders liable for the alternative minimum tax; certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States; U.S. holders having a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; tax-exempt organizations; dealers in securities; entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other flow-through entities (or investors therein); subchapter S corporations, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts; traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting; or holders that hold Restricted Notes as part of a straddle, constructive sale, or conversion transaction or other integrated or risk reduction transaction.

This discussion does not address any tax consequences under U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax, nor does it address any considerations under any state, local or foreign tax laws or under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This discussion also does not address any withholding considerations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith). No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Restricted Notes, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partnerships and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences of the exchange to them.

This discussion is for general purposes only. All holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in light of their particular facts and circumstances, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

Consequences of Tendering Restricted Notes

The exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, you will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes, your basis in the Registered Notes will be the same as your basis in the Restricted Notes surrendered in exchange therefor immediately before the exchange, and your holding period in the Registered Notes will include your holding period for the Restricted Notes exchanged.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives Registered Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of up to 90 days after the date on which the registration statement relating to the Registered Notes and the exchange offer is declared effective, the Company will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Registered Notes by broker-dealers. Registered Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Registered Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Registered Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Registered Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer, and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Registered Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of Registered Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 90 days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, the Company will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay any and all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement, excluding the fees and expenses of counsel to the holders of the Restricted Notes or any underwriters (in the event that any participating holders sell Restricted Notes to any underwriters for reoffering to the public) and underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer fees, and the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the holders of the Restricted Notes (including the initial purchasers, among other persons) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including out-of-pocket expenses for the exchange agent, will be paid by the Company. The Company will not pay for underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Restricted Notes by a holder.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court shall deem proper.

Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145(e) of the DGCL further provides that such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees or agents of the corporation may be so paid upon such terms and conditions as the corporation deems appropriate.

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Article VI of Oceaneering’s amended and restated bylaws provides that Oceaneering will indemnify and hold harmless each of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent applicable law permits, from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to certain limitations, expenses arising out of any claim, other than a claim brought by or on behalf of Oceaneering or a related enterprise, by reason of the fact that: (1) such person is or was a director or an officer of Oceaneering; or (2) while a director or an officer, such person served, at the request of Oceaneering, as a director, officer,

II-1

manager, administrator, employee, agent or representative of a related enterprise (any person described in item 1 or 2, is referred to as an “Eligible Indemnitee”). For claims brought by or on behalf of Oceaneering or a related enterprise, Oceaneering will indemnify an Eligible Indemnitee for all expenses reasonably incurred as a result of such claim if the Eligible Indemnitee is not adjudged liable under such claim or if the court making the adjudication of liability against the Eligible Indemnitee determines that despite such an adjudication, the circumstances in the case warrant that the Eligible Indemnitee be indemnified for expenses reasonably incurred. Article VI of Oceaneering’s amended and restated bylaws also provides that Oceaneering may advance funds to an Eligible Indemnitee to cover expenses he or she incurs in defending against any action, suit or proceeding that may give rise to a right to indemnification upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Oceaneering. Oceaneering may, to the extent and in the manner applicable law permits, indemnify and advance expenses to persons other than present or former directors or officers of Oceaneering, when authorized by the Board of Directors of Oceaneering or other appropriate corporate action.

Oceaneering has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements generally provide Oceaneering’s directors and executive officers with a contractual right of indemnification to the same extent provided by Section 145 of the DGCL and a contractual right to advancement of expenses consistent with the provisions of Article VI of Oceaneering’s amended and restated bylaws.

Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director and of certain officers to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of (1) a director or officer for any breach of such director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to Oceaneering or to stockholders, (2) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL for unlawful payment of dividends or stock purchases or redemptions, (4) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (5) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.

Oceaneering’s restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors to Oceaneering or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty of care as a director. As a result, stockholders may be unable to recover monetary damages against directors for negligent or grossly negligent acts or omissions in violation of their duty of care.

Oceaneering also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for its directors and officers that protects them from certain losses arising from claims or charges made against them in their capacities as directors or officers of Oceaneering.

Agreements Oceaneering may enter into with underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Oceaneering’s securities may contain provisions relating to the indemnification of Oceaneering’s officers and directors.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed on the date hereof by Oceaneering International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration under the Act of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Registered Notes”) to be offered by the Company in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s issued and outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Restricted Notes”) (the “Exchange Offer”), certain legal matters in connection with the Registered Notes are being passed upon for you by us. The Registered Notes are to be issued under that an Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 6, 2018, between the Company and the Trustee, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2023, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). At your request, this opinion letter is being furnished to you for filing as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

In our capacity as your counsel in connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified, of (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, each as amended to date, (ii) the Base Indenture, (iii) the Second Supplemental Indenture, (iv) the Third Supplemental Indenture, (v) the Registration Statement, (vi) corporate records of the Company, including certain resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, as furnished to us by the Company, (vii) certificates of governmental and public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company and (viii) statutes and such other records, certificates, documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for giving the opinion set forth below.

Oceaneering International, Inc.		- 2 -		December 6, 2023

In giving the opinion set forth below, we have relied, to the extent we deemed appropriate, without independent investigation or verification, upon certificates, statements or other representations of officers and other authorized representatives of the Company and of governmental and public officials with respect to the accuracy of the factual matters contained in or covered by such certificates, statements or representations. In giving the opinion set forth below, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification, that all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, all documents submitted to us as copies are true, correct and complete copies of the originals of such documents and all information submitted to us was accurate and complete.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have assumed that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Act, (ii) the Indenture will have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and (iii) the Registered Notes will have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and issued in exchange for Restricted Notes pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Exchange Offer as contemplated in the Registration Statement.

On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Registered Notes, when issued, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof is subject to (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether that enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) any implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

The opinion set forth above in this opinion letter is limited in all respects to matters of the contract law of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law, each as currently in effect. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our Firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuer the principal amount of the Restricted Notes indicated above. Unless otherwise indicated above, the undersigned will be deemed to have tendered the full aggregate principal amount represented by the Restricted Notes. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of any portion of the Restricted Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Issuer, all right, title and interest in and to such Restricted Notes as are being tendered herewith. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Issuer in connection with the Exchange Offer) to cause the Restricted Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged.

The undersigned represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Restricted Notes and to acquire Registered Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Restricted Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Issuer will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Restricted Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Issuer to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the tendered Restricted Notes or transfer ownership of such Restricted Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility. The undersigned further agrees that acceptance of any and all validly tendered Restricted Notes by the Issuer and the issuance of Registered Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the Issuer of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, and that the Issuer shall have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder. The undersigned will comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The undersigned understands that tenders of Restricted Notes pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the Prospectus and in the instructions attached hereto will, upon the Issuer’s acceptance for exchange of such tendered Restricted Notes, constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Issuer upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer. The undersigned recognizes that, under circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, the Issuer may not be required to accept for exchange any of the Restricted Notes.

By tendering Restricted Notes and executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that (i) the holder is not an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or, if such an affiliate, will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable in connection with the resale of the Registered Notes; (ii) the holder is not engaging in and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Registered Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; (iii) the holder is acquiring any Registered Notes to be received by it in its ordinary course of business; and (iv) if the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive the Registered Notes for its own account in exchange for the Restricted Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, such holder will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent

4

permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Registered Notes. If the undersigned or the person receiving such Registered Notes, whether or not such person is the undersigned, is a broker-dealer that will receive Registered Notes for its own account in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The undersigned understands that all resales of the Registered Notes must be made in compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws. If a resale does not qualify for an exemption from these laws, the undersigned acknowledges that it may be necessary to register or qualify the Registered Notes in a particular state or to make the resale through a licensed broker-dealer in order to comply with these laws. The undersigned further understands that the Issuer assumes no responsibility regarding compliance with state securities or blue sky laws in connection with resales.

Any holder of Restricted Notes using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Registered Notes (i) cannot rely on the position of the Staff enunciated in its interpretive letter with respect to Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988) or similar interpretive letters and (ii) must comply with the registration and prospectus requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Prospectus, this tender is irrevocable but tendered Restricted Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of this Letter of Transmittal.

All Registered Notes delivered in exchange for tendered Restricted Notes and any Restricted Notes delivered herewith but not exchanged, in each case if registered in the name of the undersigned, shall be delivered to the undersigned at the address shown below the signature of the undersigned.

The undersigned, by completing the box entitled “Description of Restricted Notes Tendered Herewith” above and signing this letter, will be deemed to have tendered the Restricted Notes as set forth in such box.

INSTRUCTIONS

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

A holder of Restricted Notes may tender the same by (i) properly completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering the same, together with the Restricted Notes being tendered and any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at its address set forth above on or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) complying with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below.

Holders of Restricted Notes may tender Restricted Notes by book-entry transfer by crediting the Restricted Notes to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC in accordance with ATOP and by complying with applicable ATOP procedures with respect to the Exchange Offer. DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer should transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will edit and verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send a computer-generated message (an “Agent’s Message”) to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance in which the holder of the Restricted Notes acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of, and makes the representations and warranties contained in, this Letter of Transmittal or the DTC participant confirms on behalf of itself and the beneficial owners of such Restricted Notes all provisions of this Letter of Transmittal (including any representations and warranties) applicable to it and such beneficial owners as fully as if it had completed the information required herein and executed and transmitted this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent. Delivery of the Agent’s Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participants identified in the Agent’s Message.

The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Restricted Notes and any other required documents is at the election and risk of the holder, and except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If such delivery is by mail, it is suggested that registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to permit timely delivery. No Restricted Notes or Letters of Transmittal should be sent to the Issuer. The Issuer reserves the right to reject any particular Restricted Note not properly tendered, or any acceptance that might, in the Issuer’s judgment, be unlawful. The Issuer also reserves the right to waive any defects or irregularities with respect to the form of, or procedures applicable to, the tender of any particular Restricted Note before the Expiration Date. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Restricted Notes must be cured before the Expiration Date.

The Exchange Agent must receive the book-entry confirmation, together with this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Agent’s Message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, prior to the Expiration Date, all as provided in the Prospectus.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the Restricted Notes for exchange.

If less than the entire principal amount of Restricted Notes is tendered, the tendering holder must fill in the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Notes tendered in the box entitled “Description of Restricted Notes Tendered Herewith.” All Restricted Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise clearly indicated.

If not yet accepted, a tender pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date.

To be effective with respect to the tender of Restricted Notes, a written notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn, identify the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of the Restricted Notes and the CUSIP number of the Restricted Notes) and, where certificates for Restricted Notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which the Restricted Notes were registered if different from that of the withdrawing holder. Any such notice of withdrawal must also be signed by the person having tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which these Restricted Notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be

8

accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the trustee for the Restricted Notes to register the transfer of these Restricted Notes into the name of the person having made the original tender and withdrawing the tender and, if applicable because the Restricted Notes have been tendered through the book-entry procedure, specify the name and number of the participant’s account at DTC to be credited if different than that of the person having tendered the Restricted Notes to be withdrawn.

If Restricted Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange Agent, then, prior to the release of such Restricted Notes, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution (as defined below) unless such holder is an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

If Restricted Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Restricted Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. The Issuer will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices, and the Issuer’s determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The Issuer will deem any Restricted Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Restricted Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder (or, in the case of Restricted Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account of DTC according to the procedures described above, such Restricted Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for Restricted Notes) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Restricted Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “Terms of the Exchange Offer-Procedures for Tendering the Restricted Notes” in the Prospectus at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Restricted Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the Restricted Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If a number of Restricted Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Restricted Notes.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or holders (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Restricted Notes) of Restricted Notes listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder or holders of the Restricted Notes listed, such Restricted Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by separate written instruments of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Issuer and duly executed by the registered holder, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders appear(s) on the Restricted Notes.

If this Letter of Transmittal, any certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Issuer, proper evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of their authority so to act must be submitted.

Endorsements on certificates or signatures on separate written instruments of transfer or exchange required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, unless Restricted Notes are tendered: (i) by a holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution. In the event that the signatures in this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantees must be by an Eligible Guarantor Institution which is a member of a firm of a registered

9

national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an “Eligible Guarantor Institution”). If Restricted Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal, the Restricted Notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by the Issuer, in its sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

Tendering holders should indicate, as applicable, the name and address to which the Restricted Notes not exchanged are to be issued or delivered, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification number of the person named must also be indicated and, as described in Instruction 8, a duly completed IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, as applicable, must be provided. Holders tendering Restricted Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Restricted Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the book-entry transfer facility as such holder may designate.

If Restricted Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the registered holder of the Restricted Notes tendered, or if tendered Restricted Notes or Registered Notes are to be registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any other reason, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the applicable holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such applicable holder.

The Issuer reserves the absolute right to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a tendering holder whose Restricted Notes are accepted for exchange for Registered Notes may be subject to backup withholding on reportable payments made on the Registered Notes unless the holder provides the Exchange Agent, Issuer, or other payor with its correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certain other information on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, which is provided below, or otherwise establishes an exemption. If the Exchange Agent, Issuer or other payor is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, a holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the IRS, and backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) may apply to any reportable payments on the Registered Notes made to such holder. Such reportable payments generally will be subject to information reporting, even if the Exchange Agent, Issuer or other payor is provided with a TIN. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

To prevent backup withholding on reportable payments made on the Registered Notes, each holder that is a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes should provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9. Please see the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for further information.

Certain holders (including, among others, generally all corporations and certain non-U.S. persons) are not subject to backup withholding. Exempt U.S. holders may establish their exempt status on IRS Form W-9. A non-U.S. holder may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as the case may be, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s exempt status. The applicable IRS Form W-8 can be obtained from the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
