On March 15, 2010, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and guidance for the year ending December 31, 2010. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 17, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it is correcting its previously announced 2010 guidance as it relates to earnings per share on a fully diluted basis. As previously disclosed, on March 15, 2010, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that the Company would be making a presentation to the investment community at the 22nd Annual Roth OC Growth Stock Conference in Dana Point, CA and to various investor groups in the area. The Company furnished the slides for the investor presentation as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K. In these investor presentation materials the Company provided guidance that the earnings per share on a fully diluted basis would range from $0.12 to $0.24, while in its March 15, 2010 earnings press release, the Company reported 2010 guidance as it relates to earnings per share on a fully diluted basis of a range from $0.14 to $0.16. The Company corrected this inconsistency and announced 2010 guidance for earnings per share on a fully diluted basis to a range of $0.09 to $0.21. All other aspects of the earnings press release are unaffected by this correction. A copy of the press release announcing the correction is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information disclosed in this Item 2.02, and the corresponding exhibits listed under Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended , or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
