October 29, 2014 - Covington, Louisiana - Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) (“the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of its common stock from time to time.

The Company is authorized to use different methods and plans to make the repurchases, including, but not limited to, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on several factors, such as market conditions, applicable legal requirements, available liquidity, the discretion of management and other appropriate factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Hornbeck Offshore to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company will periodically report the number of shares purchased under the plan.
