Election of Director
On October 25, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) elected Jon Erik Reinhardsen as a director and appointed him as a member of the Audit Committee and a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

Mr. Reinhardsen, 59, has been a director of Borregaard ASA since April 2016, Telenor ASA since May 2014, where he serves as Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee, and AWilhelmsen Management AS since 2010. Mr. Reinhardsen is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (“PGS”), positions he has held since 2008. Prior to joining PGS, he held executive positions in Alcoa Inc. and Aker Kvaerner ASA. Mr. Reinhardsen also served as a director of Cameron International Corporation from 2009 until its acquisition by Schlumberger N.V in April 2016, Hoegh Autoliners Holding AS from 2006 to 2014, and Hoegh LNG Holdings Ltd. from 2006 to 2014.

In connection with his election, the Board approved Oceaneering entering into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Reinhardsen. The form of indemnification agreement approved is in the same form as the previously disclosed indemnification agreement entered into with the other members of the Board. The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement is qualified by reference to the complete form of agreement, which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this report and hereby incorporated by reference into this Item.

Compensatory Arrangements
For the remainder of 2016, the Board paid Mr. Reinhardsen a cash retainer of $20,000. Also, on October 25, 2016, the Board granted an award of 4,000 shares of restricted stock under Oceaneering’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) to Mr. Reinhardsen, pursuant to the form of 2016 Nonemployee Director Restricted Stock Agreement approved on February 18, 2016 for nonemployee directors. The restricted stock award is scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the award date, subject to: (1) earlier vesting on a change of control or the termination of the director’s service due to death; and (2) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreements.
