Robert P. Peebler, Chief Executive Officer of ION Geophysical Corporation (the “Company”),
will be presenting at the Johnson Rice 2010 Energy Conference to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana,
on October 7, 2010, commencing at approximately 10:15 a.m. Central Time.
A live broadcast of the Johnson Rice presentation and the accompanying slides will be
available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.iongeo.com and will be
archived there for approximately 90 days.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this report (i) is not to be considered “filed”
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (ii) shall not be
incorporated by reference into any previous or future filings made by or to be made by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Exchange Act.
The presentation referenced in this report and any oral or written statements made in
connection with the presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These
forward-looking statements may include statements concerning estimated revenues, expected timing of
future revenues and growth rates, estimated gross margins and operating expenses for fiscal 2010
and other years, future sales and market growth, timing of product introduction and
commercialization, and other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Actual results
may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements will reflect numerous assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
These risks and uncertainties may include: unanticipated delays in the timing and development of
the Company’s products and services and market acceptance of the Company’s new and revised product
offerings; risks associated with competitors’ product offerings and pricing pressures resulting
therefrom; the relatively small number of customers that the Company currently relies upon; the
fact that a significant portion of the Company’s revenues is derived from foreign sales; the risks
that sources of capital may not prove adequate; the Company’s inability to produce products to
preserve and increase market share; and technological and marketplace changes affecting the
Company’s product line. Additional risk factors, which could affect actual results, are disclosed
by the Company from time to time in its filings with the SEC, including its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q during 2010 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
