Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings

As previously disclosed, on May 17, 2017, Tidewater and certain of its subsidiaries the ("Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Cases," and such court, the "Bankruptcy Court"), seeking approval of a prepackaged plan of restructuring (the "Prepackaged Plan").

On May 19, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court set a combined hearing to consider approval of the Debtors' disclosure statement and confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan for June 28, 2017. If the Prepackaged Plan is approved by the Bankruptcy Court within the time frame we currently expect, the Prepackaged Plan will likely become effective in July 2017, at which point or shortly thereafter the Debtors would emerge from bankruptcy, however, there can be no assurance that the effectiveness of the Prepackaged Plan will occur on such date, or at all. Additional details about the restructuring are available on the company's website, www.tdw.com, and at http://dm.epiq11.com/tidewater, or via the company's restructuring information line 844-843-0204 (toll free) or 504-597-5543 (international calls). Additional details about the restructuring will also be available in the company's Form 10-K, which is expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after the issuance of this press release.

Given the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases, the company will not be hosting an earnings conference call to discuss fiscal 2017 financial results. However, we expect to resume holding quarterly earnings conference calls following our emergence from bankruptcy.

Tidewater is the leading provider of Offshore Service Vessels (OSVs) to the global energy industry.

Note (A): At the beginning of fiscal 2017 the company's operations in the Mediterranean Sea (based in Egypt) were transitioned from the company's previously disclosed Middle East/North Africa operations and included with the company's previously disclosed Sub-Saharan Africa/Europe operations as a result of management realignments. As such, the company now discloses these new segments as Middle East and Africa/Europe, respectively. The company's Americas and Asia/Pacific segments are not affected by this change. The new segment alignment is consistent with the company's chief operating decision maker's review of operating results for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. Fiscal 2016 amounts have been recast to conform to the new segment alignment.

Note (B): The following table reconciles vessel operating margin as presented above to operating profit (loss) for the quarters and the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the quarter ended December 31, 2016:
