Election of Director
On June 15, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) elected William B. Berry as a director. Mr. Berry will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board. 
Mr. Berry, 63, has been a director of Continental Resources, Inc. since May 2014 and a director of Frank’s International N.V. since January 2015. He previously served as Executive Vice President, Exploration and Production, of ConocoPhillips from 2003 until his retirement on January 1, 2008, after a 32-year career with ConocoPhillips and its predecessor, Phillips Petroleum Company, during which he held other executive positions in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Mr. Berry also served on the boards of directors of Teekay Corporation from June 2011 to December 2015, Willbros Group, Inc. from February 2008 to May 2014, Access Midstream Partners, L.P. from June 2013 to June 2014, and Nexen Inc. from December 2008 to June 2013.
In connection with his election, the Board approved Oceaneering entering into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Berry. 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.

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.
