Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. Announces $700 Million Offering of Senior Notes

HOUSTON - Nov. 30, 2010 - Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. (the "Company"), the operating subsidiary of Energy XXI (Bermuda) Limited (NASDAQ: EXXI) (AIM: EXXI), today announced that it intends, subject to market and other conditions, to offer up to $700 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") in a private placement to eligible purchasers.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand provided by its recent equity offerings, to finance the previously disclosed purchase of certain shallow-water Gulf of Mexico shelf oil and natural gas interests from ExxonMobil and to repurchase or redeem its 16% Second Lien Junior Secured Notes due 2014.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135C under the Securities Act, and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the 2017 Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the 2017 Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
