Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On October 15, 2010, Oil States International, Inc. (the “Company”) and The MAC Services Group Limited (“The MAC”), a leading provider of remote accommodations for the natural resources industry in Australia, entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed (the “Scheme Implementation Deed”) related to a Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the ordinary shares of The MAC. Prior to entering into the Scheme Implementation Deed, both the Company and The MAC received unanimous approval for the transaction from their respective boards of directors.

     Under the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, each shareholder of The MAC will receive A$3.90 per share in cash, representing a premium of 16% to the closing price of A$3.35 per share on October 14, 2010, the last trading price before announcement of the transaction. The Scheme Implementation Deed contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The Company’s acquisition of The MAC is subject to certain conditions precedent, including approvals from the shareholders of The MAC, court approval of the Scheme of Arrangement and other regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that these closing conditions will be satisfied. The Company expects the transaction to close by the end of the first quarter of 2011.

     In connection with the Scheme of Arrangement, a subsidiary of the Company has entered into a Call Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Marley Holdings Pty Ltd (“Marley”), as trustee for The Maloney Family Trust, a 52% shareholder in The MAC. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company, in certain circumstances, may exercise an option to purchase a portion of Marley’s holding in The MAC representing 19.9% of the total issued share capital of The MAC.

     The Company intends to fund the acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings available under a new five-year, $900 million senior secured bank facility. The Company entered into a commitment letter with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and its affiliates to provide this facility which, subject to final syndication, is expected to consist of revolving credit facilities in both the United States and Canada totaling $600 million, as well as funded term debt in both the United States and Canada totaling $300 million. The funded term debt is repayable over the life of the term debt with a balance due at maturity. The revolving credit facility and funded term debt are expected to have higher interest rates consistent with current market conditions but otherwise have materially similar terms and covenants to the Company’s existing credit facility. The commitment letter is subject to terms and conditions typical for committed, acquisition financing.

     The foregoing description of the Scheme Implementation Deed, Scheme of Arrangement and Option Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Scheme Implementation Deed, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1, and Option Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
