HOUSTON, Dec. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ION Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today announced that it has filed a prospectus supplement under which it may sell up to $20,000,000 of its common stock through an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program").

Sales of common stock, if any, will be made from time to time in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of a sale or at negotiated prices, or as otherwise agreed with the sales agent, and, as a result, sale prices may vary.
