Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Compensatory Arrangements
On May 5, 2017 , the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering” or “us”) appointed Roderick A. Larson to serve as a Class III Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering following the retirement of M. Kevin McEvoy as our Chief Executive Officer. In connection with Mr. Larson ’s increase in responsibilities, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) increased his annual base salary rate for the remainder of 2017 to $700,000 and granted supplemental awards of 9,825 performance units and 25,163 restricted stock units to him under Oceaneering’s Second Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).
The performance units will be settled in cash. Each has an initial notional value of $100, but the final value may range from $0 to $200. The restricted stock units will be settled in shares of Oceaneering common stock, each unit representing the equivalent of one share. Mr. Larson ’s supplemental performance units and supplemental restricted stock units are scheduled to vest in full on February 24, 2020 .
In addition, on May 5, 2017 , the Board granted Mr.  McEvoy an award of 6,000 shares of restricted stock under the Incentive Plan, and approved a 2017 base annual cash retainer of $70,000 payable to Mr.  McEvoy on a quarterly basis. The restricted stock award is scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the award date.
The above-described awards to Messrs. Larson and McEvoy under the Incentive Plan may be subject to early vesting under certain conditions, and the foregoing descriptions are incomplete and qualified by reference to the complete agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this report and incorporated by reference into this Item.
Pursuant to Oceaneering’s performance-based 2017 Annual Cash Bonus Award Program approved by the Compensation Committee on February 24, 2017 under the Incentive Plan, Mr. Larson ’s target and maximum possible bonus percentages remain unchanged at 125% and 250% , respectively, but the dollar amount of his bonus under this program, if any, would be determined by applying the applicable percentage to his 2017 base salary on a prorated basis. Also effective May 5, 2017 , the Compensation Committee increased the percentage of Mr. Larson ’s base salary to be credited to his notional account in Oceaneering’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to 50% .

The Participant’s rights with respect to the Performance Units shall be forfeitable until the Performance Units vest in accordance with Paragraph 3.
3. Vesting . The Performance Units shall become vested as follows:

11. No Service Guaranteed . No provision of this Agreement shall confer any right upon the Participant to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary.



12. Qualified Performance Awards .

(xii) Total Shareholder Return ” or “ TSR ” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ending Price plus Dividends minus the Beginning Price, and the denominator of which is the Beginning Price.
II.     Calculation of Performance Unit Final Value
Cumulative EBITDA . The Cumulative EBITDA attainment level shall be determined as follows:

Target Level:    $____
Maximum Level:    $____
Cumulative EBITDA shall be weighted eighty percent (80%) in the calculation of the Final Value and shall contribute to the Final Value as follows:

$____
200%
$160
Relative TSR . The Total Shareholder Return of the Company and of the Comparison Companies shall be calculated and certified by the Committee.

from the relative TSR calculation; provided, however, that no additional company shall be substituted. Regardless of the actual Final Value determined in accordance with this Schedule I , if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the Performance Period is negative, the relative TSR shall not exceed the target level.
Relative TSR shall be weighted twenty percent (20%) in the calculation of the Final Value and shall contribute to the Final Value as follows:

200%
$40
Final Value . The aggregate value of Performance Units that shall vest as of the Scheduled Vesting Date shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Performance Units, multiplied by (ii) the Final Value. The Final Value shall be equal to the sum of the contribution value attributed to the level achieved for each of Cumulative EBITDA and relative TSR. In no event shall the Final Value exceed $200 per Performance Unit. If the performance ranking is below threshold for both Cumulative EBITDA and relative TSR, the Final Value shall be zero. The Final Value shall be determined in accordance with the tables above for each of Cumulative EBITDA and relative TSR with interpolation between the specified levels.

12. No Service Guaranteed . No provision of this Agreement shall confer any right upon the Participant to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary.
13. Code Section 409A Compliance . The Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements (“ Section 409A ”), and ambiguous provisions of this Agreement, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. If any provision of this Agreement would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A, that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the additional tax. If the Participant is a Specified Employee on the date on which the Participant has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A‑1(h), any Restricted Stock Units settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Participant’s separation from service, (2) the date of the Participant’s death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A.
