ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS

On June 27, 2002, GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMRK) finalized an agreement for a new secured credit facility with a maximum availability of $100 million. This new credit facility is available for acquisition of assets, including the completion of the Company's new build program, as well as for general corporate purposes. Collateral provided to the lenders determines the borrowing availability by the Company, which, at the outset, was set at $32 million based on the initial collateral assigned to the lending group. The facility reduces by $4 million per quarter beginning September 30, 2004, with a final maturity of $44 million on March 31, 2008. In conjunction with the signing of the new facility, the existing $75 million facility was cancelled. Details of the new credit facility are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Additionally, effective July 1, 2002, the Company's recently announced two for one stock split went into effect. As a result, total outstanding shares after the split are 19,906,888.
