Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 14, 2008, David Sharp resigned as a director of Cal Dive International, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with his acceptance of the position of Chief Executive Officer of Odyssea Marine, Inc. Mr. Sharp was formerly the Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Offshore, Inc. and he joined the Company’s Board in December 2007, when Cal Dive completed the acquisition of Horizon. Odyssea Marine is a supplier of tug and supply boat services to the Company, and Mr. Sharp and the Company both agreed that, given that commercial relationship, it was in both his and the Company’s best interests that he resign as director. With the resignation, the Company has seven directors, four of whom are independent as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Sharp served on the Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees of the board of directors at the time of his resignation. His replacement on these committees will be selected by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at its next meeting later this month.
A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the resignation of Mr. sharp is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference
