ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY, INC. APPROVES NAME CHANGE TO
ENSCO INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Dallas, Texas, May 23, 1995....Energy Service Company, Inc.
("ENSCO") announced that its stockholders approved a change in the name of
the Company to ENSCO International Incorporated at the Company's Annual
Meeting held today in Dallas, Texas. Other items acted upon at the Annual
Meeting included the reelection of three Directors for three year terms and
the approval of the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as independent
public accountants for the year ending December 31, 1995.
The change of the Company's name was enacted as part of an
amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and will be
effective on Wednesday, May 24, 1995. Also, as part of this amendment,
which was approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Company
eliminated the class of Convertible Common Stock that was authorized in
connection with the Penrod acquisition and was outstanding for a short time
in 1993.
Carl Thorne, ENSCO's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"As a major international offshore contractor, it is important that the
Company's name is recognized throughout the marketplace. The name change
capitalizes on the broad recognition of the ENSCO name in the industry and
reflects the Company's commitment to strengthening our position in the
market and enhancing value for our stockholders."
The Company's stock symbol, ESV, will remain the same following
the name change. ENSCO's common stock trades on the American Stock
Exchange.
ENSCO, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is engaged in providing
contract drilling and related logistical and technical services to the
international petroleum industry.<PAGE>
