Item 5.02(e). Amendment of 2001 Equity Participation Plan.
          On March 30, 2009, the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Oil States International, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the Second Amended and Restated Oil States International, Inc. 2001 Equity Participation Plan effective March 30, 2009 (the “Amended Equity Participation Plan”).
          The Amended Equity Participation Plan provides for a minimum one-year vesting period for certain performance-based awards and a minimum three year vesting period for certain tenure-based awards. The minimum vesting periods do not prohibit the acceleration of vesting upon death, disability, retirement or change of control of the Company (or a division of the Company in the case of divisional grantees). In addition, the Amended Equity Participation Plan allows the Company to grant awards with shorter vesting periods provided that, at such time, the aggregate number of shares of common stock represented by such awards does not exceed 10% of the cumulative number of shares authorized under the equity participation plan since its inception. The Amended Equity Participation Plan also provides that discretionary awards to directors, other than those related to their annual retainer, will be determined solely by the Committee.
          The foregoing description of the Amended Equity Participation Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Equity Participation Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
