The Board of Wavefield Inseis has today received the following
statement from representatives of the employees in the Company:
With reference to the "Statement from the Board of Directors of
Wavefield Inseis ASA regarding voluntary offer made by CGGVeritas",
on the 5th of December 2008, and quoting paragraph 8 of the Statement
whereby it was written "The Board has not received a joint statement
from the employees representing their view on the Offer", it is
considered that the board of directors have not consulted the
employees and therefore have not considered all the facts before
making their decision.

In light of this we the employees of Wavefield-Inseis ASA hereby wish
to submit a joint statement from the employees representing our view
on the offer.

The employees of Wavefield Inseis ASA feel that as a stand alone
seismic company we offer much greater potential for higher return on
the shareholders investment with our modern fleet and development of
new technology in the Optowave 4C Ocean Bottom Cable. We are a highly
motivated and committed workforce that believes in the quality of
management and our fellow employees to enable this company to
continue to grow and maintain profitability.
