Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On March 26, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new stock repurchase program.

 

The information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 is “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events

 

On March 26, 2020, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program of up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. This new program replaces the existing stock repurchase program that would have otherwise expired on March 31, 2020. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on the market price of the Company’s common stock, expected free cash flow, general economic and market conditions and other considerations, including the Company’s objective to reduce debt. The authorization will expire December 31, 2021 and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board.

These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” and “will be,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Known material factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements are described in the forward looking statements and risk factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and those risk factors set forth from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required under federal securities laws.
