Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On January 23, 2009, Cal Dive International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive stock repurchase agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc., its majority shareholder (“Helix”), to repurchase 13,564,669 shares of the Company’s common stock that Helix owns (the “Helix Shares”).


The Helix Shares being repurchased represent approximately 12.6% of the Company’s total shares of common stock outstanding as of January 23, 2009, and upon closing, will reduce Helix’s percentage ownership in the Company from approximately 57% to approximately 51%.


The Helix Shares are being repurchased at the purchase price of $6.34 per share, which represents an approximate 2% discount to the 30 day average trading price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of January 16, 2009. The total consideration to be paid by the Company to Helix in connection with the repurchase is $86,000,000.


The Company will repurchase the Helix Shares with available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and expects the transaction to close on or before January 30, 2009. Upon consummation of the repurchase, the Company intends to cancel the Helix Shares, at which time they will cease to be outstanding.


The foregoing description of the Stock Repurchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Stock Repurchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, and is not intended to provide any other factual information about any of the parties thereto.

 

On January 25, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Stock Repurchase Agreement.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
