Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     The information included in Item 2.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     On August 14, 2007, Superior Offshore International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”). Among other things, the Amendment provides that at the request of the Company, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion make revolving loans to the Company, in amounts that exceed Availability (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”)) (any such excess revolving loan, an “Overadvance”). The Amendment also provides that, so long as no event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent will make Overadvances in an aggregate amount of up to $7,500,000 at any time for a period of time beginning on August 14, 2007 until the earlier of (1) September 14, 2007 and (2) the date that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has guaranteed certain foreign accounts receivable for the benefit of the Credit Facility lenders under a transaction-specific revolving loan facility in an amount not less than $7,500,000. The Amendment also provides that no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than 30 days, and no Overadvance may cause any revolving lender’s Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to exceed its Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In addition, the Amendment provides that the Company’s ratio of EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of capital expenditures to fixed charges may not be less than 0.80 to 1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2007.
     The foregoing description of the Amendment to the Credit Facility is a summary of the terms of the Amendment and is qualified by reference to the text of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
