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 24, 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 for revolving credit loans in an aggregate amount up to $15,000,000 that will be secured by a first priority lien on eligible foreign accounts receivable of the Company and guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the “Foreign Loan”). Amounts borrowed under the Foreign Loan would be counted towards, and would not be in addition to, the up to $30,000,000 available under the existing revolving credit facility. The Foreign Loan will expire in February 2008. Borrowings under the Foreign Loan bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, subject to a performance-based grid.
     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, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
