Item 8.01
Other Events.

On June 8, 2011, Cameron International Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan (the “Plan”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) under which Credit Suisse may repurchase up to $111,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).   The Notes may be purchased by Credit Suisse during the period beginning June 29, 2011 and ending one day following the release of the Company’s earnings for the second quarter of 2011.  The Plan specifies the timing and market prices of the purchases, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Depending upon prevailing market conditions and other factors, there can be no assurance that all authorized Notes will be purchased pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan allows the Company to repurchase its Notes during periods when it would normally not be active in the market due to its internal trading “blackout” period.
