Slider and All; Looks like PKD and SESI are moving right along at a good pace on there merger. 8K filed today by Parker. For those that were wanting to know what the .9 share offer translates into, maybe this clip from the 8K will explain "1.7 CONVERSION OF SUPERIOR COMMON STOCK. (a) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Superior Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Sub, and subject to Section 1.8(f), each share of Superior Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.7(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.90 of a share of Parker Common Stock (the "Merger Consideration"); provided, however, that if, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parker Common Stock or Superior Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Superior Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a -2-<PAGE> 7 certificate representing any such shares of Superior Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration. (b) Each share of Superior Common Stock held in the treasury of Superior and each share of Superior Common Stock owned by Sub, Parker or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parker or of Superior immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto. (c) Each share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of the common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation."
