Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common
Stock"), of GulfMark Offshore, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GulfMark
Offshore"). The address of the principal executive offices of GulfMark Offshore
is 10111 Richmond Avenue, Suite 340, Houston, Texas 77042.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is filed on behalf of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Holdings"), 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019.
Holdings is one of the leading global investment banks, serving institutional,
corporate, government and high-net-worth clients and customers.
The names, residence or business addresses, citizenships and present principal
occupations or employment of the senior executive officers and directors of
Holdings are set forth in Appendix A hereto.
Holdings is the managing partner of Shearson Oil Services Partners ("SOS

common stock of Gulfmark International, Inc. ("Gulfmark International"), from
which GulfMark Offshore was spun off in 1997, and which holds the shares of
Common Stock reported herein. Holdings contributed 100% of the capital of SOS
Partners. David J. Butters and Robert B. Millard, the other partners of SOS
Partners, are each entitled to receive 5.625% of the profits of SOS Partners
after Holdings has received distributions equal to its capital investment plus a
return on its capital equal to its cost of funds.
Messrs. Butters and Millard, each of whom are U.S. citizens, are directors of
GulfMark Offshore and are Managing Directors of Lehman Brothers Inc., a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.
Neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person,
either of Messrs. Butters or Millard or any of the persons listed in Appendix A
hereto has during the last five years (i) been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of a competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment,

subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source of Funds or Other Consideration

No change.
The Reporting Person intends to evaluate continually the business, prospects and
financial condition of GulfMark Offshore, the market for shares of Common Stock,
other opportunities available to the Reporting Person, general economic
conditions, money and stock market conditions and other factors and future
developments which the Reporting Person may deem relevant from time to time.
Depending on these factors, the Reporting Person may decide to sell all or part
of the Common Stock that it holds. Any disposition, or any further acquisition,
may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, donations to
charitable organizations or otherwise.
Except as set forth in this Report, as amended, the Reporting Person does not
have any specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of
