On February 15, 2011, Seahawk Drilling, Inc.

The notification advises the Company that unless it requests an appeal of the delisting determination, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 24, 2011, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on NASDAQ. In support of the delisting determination, NASDAQ identified the filing of the Bankruptcy Case, and the fact that following the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, as disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filing filed with the SEC on February 14, 2011, the Company may no longer have any operating business.
