(d) At its meeting on September 20, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (“Helix”), pursuant to Helix’s By-Laws, increased the size of the Helix Board from six to eight directors, and also elected each of Diana Glassman and Paula Harris as a director, both effective as of September 20, 2022.

Ms. Glassman will serve as a Class II director whose term will expire at Helix’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Ms. Glassman also was appointed by the Board to serve on the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Ms. Harris will serve as a Class III director whose term will expire at Helix’s next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Ms. Harris also was appointed by the Board to serve on the Board’s Compensation Committee. Neither Ms. Glassman nor Ms. Harris was selected as a director pursuant to any arrangements or understandings between either of them, Helix or any other person. In addition, there are no related party transactions between Helix and either Ms. Glassman, Ms. Harris or their respective immediate families.

In connection with their respective appointments and consistent with Helix’s current independent director compensation program, each of Ms. Glassman and Ms. Harris was awarded 9,664 shares of restricted Helix common stock. The number of shares was determined based on the closing price of Helix common stock on September 20, 2022, and the shares will vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of the grant. For their service on the Helix Board and its committees, Ms. Glassman and Ms. Harris will also receive retainer and other fees in accordance with Helix’s independent director compensation program.
