RPC INC

RPC is a party to various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims, employee liability and workers’ compensation claims and claims for personal injury. RPC insures against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by its management, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of such insurance will, in every case, fully indemnify RPC against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings related to its business activities. RPC is also subject to sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings, claims and audits cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the outcome of all such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on RPC’s business or financial condition.
