  1. An opportunity will be provided to shareholders to ask questions during the "Question and Answer Session". In order to make the most efficient use of the allotted time, the Company has requested that shareholders submit questions by email to rheo@gulfisland.com prior to the Meeting by 5:00 p.m. Central Time, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Questions also may
    be submitted electronically during the Meeting by logging into https://web.lumiagm.com/266826102 beginning 30 minutes prior to the Meeting start time and clicking the Messaging icon at the top left of the webcast screen at any point prior to adjournment of the Meeting. When submitting questions, shareholders must identify themselves, by including each of their names and number of shares held, and provide contact information in the event follow up is necessary after the Meeting. These questions will not be visible to the other Meeting participants. The "Question and Answer Session" will be limited to 30 minutes total. Up to one minute will be allocated for the Company representative to read each question. The Company will answer as many questions as time allows. In order to give as many shareholders as possible the opportunity to ask questions, the Company requests that shareholders limit themselves to one question or topic, and if time permits, after all shareholders have been given an opportunity to ask a question, the Company will permit additional questions. If multiple questions are submitted on the same topic, the Company will summarize and respond collectively. Any questions that cannot be answered due to time constraints can be submitted to the Company by email to rheo@gulfisland.com. If a shareholder has not previously provided their question to the Company, please submit it by email to rheo@gulfisland.com following the Meeting.
  2. Shareholders' views, constructive comments, and criticisms are welcome, but the
    Company representative has the authority to not read or address questions that are: (i) irrelevant to the business of the Company; (ii) repetitious of statements made by other persons; (iii) derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste; (iv) related to personal grievances; or (v) a matter of individual concern that is not a matter of interest to shareholders generally or is otherwise inappropriate; or to ensure orderly conduct of the Meeting. Such authority will be exercised impartially.
  3. Subject to the discretion of the Chairman of the Meeting, the business of the Meeting will be taken up as set forth in the agenda of the Meeting (the "Agenda"). The proposals set forth in the Company's proxy statement will be presented in the order in which the proposals appear in the Company's proxy statement. The only items before the Meeting to be voted upon are the three items set forth in the Company's proxy statement, dated April
    11, 2024. Shareholder proposals and/or director nominations will notbe entertained.
  4. The polls will be opened immediately upon introduction of the matters requiring shareholder approval and will remain open until closed by order of the Chairman of the Meeting. Shareholders may vote until the polls close. After the closing of the polls no further voting will be permitted and no further proxies, ballots or evidence will be accepted or considered by the Inspector except as otherwise permitted herein.

  1. If a shareholder of record or holder of a valid proxy for a holder of record wishes to change his or her voting instructions previously submitted, or has not already submitted voting instructions by proxy or online, such holder will be given the opportunity to vote by joining the Meeting as a shareholder with his or her control number and voting by clicking on "Proxy Voting Site" on the left side of the webcast screen and following the instructions provided on the virtual meeting platform before the polls are closed. In order to vote at the Meeting, a holder will need to have available the control number that appears on his or her proxy card.
  2. The board-designated proxies will vote all of the shares of the Company's common stock that they are entitled to vote in such a manner that is consistent with any voting instructions and proxies received and the Company's proxy statement, and against any resolution not properly brought before the Meeting. Specifically, note that if a shareholder of record signs, dates and returns a proxy card but makes no specifications on the proxy card, his or her shares of common stock will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.
  3. The Inspector of Election will tabulate all votes and prepare the results of such tabulation completely confidentially until disclosure thereof is made as set forth below. The Chairman of the Meeting will report at the Meeting whether the vote necessary to carry the matters presented at the Meeting has been received based on a preliminary report from the Inspector of Election. The Inspector of Election will deliver a final report to the Secretary as soon as may be practical.
  4. The Secretary will be in charge of and responsible for the safekeeping of the board- designated proxy ballot(s), the shareholder list and other evidence once delivered to the Secretary by the transfer agent, as applicable. The transfer agent, on behalf of the Secretary, will have custody of any proxy cards and legal proxies received by the transfer agent until promptly after preparation of the final voting report, at which time any proxy cards and legal proxies will be delivered to the Secretary.
  5. The use of any cameras, sound recording equipment, communication devices or any other similar equipment to record the Meeting is prohibited. The Meeting will not be recorded and will not be available for replay.
  6. Any dispute as to the scope, application, or performance of the protocol presented herein that arises in the course of the Meeting will be resolved by the Chairman of the Meeting, who may consult with outside counsel to the extent he deems appropriate.
  7. In the event of technical malfunction or other significant problem that disrupts the Meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting may adjourn, recess, or expedite the Meeting, or take such other action that the Chairman of the Meeting determines is appropriate in light of the circumstances. If a technical malfunction causes a loss of audio or webcast connection and the Company is unable to provide any updates, please wait 10 minutes for resolution, and if the problem is not resolved, check the Company's website under "Investors" for updates.
