SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–52840; File No. 81–934]
Order Granting an Application of
Global Industries, Ltd. Under Section
12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
November 28, 2005.
Global Industries, Ltd. has filed an
application under section 12(h) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Global Industries has asked
the Commission to extend the due date
for Global Industries’s Form 10–Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to
November 29, 2005. Global Industries
states that its principal executive offices
are located in Carlyss, Louisiana, which
is within one of the Presidentially
Declared Disaster Areas for both
Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.
In its application, Global Industries
asserts that an extension of the due date
for Global Industries’s Form 10–Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is
necessary due to, among other things,
the mandatory evacuations and the
extraordinary disruptions to Global
Industries’s facilities, personnel, and
information technology resources
caused by Hurricane Rita.
On November 4, 2005, the
Commission issued a notice of the filing
of the application giving interested
persons until November 25, 2005 an
opportunity to request a hearing and
stating that an order disposing of the
application might be issued upon the
basis of the information stated therein
unless a hearing should be ordered. No
request for a hearing has been filed and
the Commission has not ordered a
hearing.
The matter having been considered, it
is found that the requested exemption is
appropriate in the public interest and
consistent with the protection of
investors and the purposes fairly
intended by the policy and provisions of
the Exchange Act.
It is ordered, pursuant to section 12(h)
of the Exchange Act, that the
application to extend the due date for
Global Industries’s Form 10–Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 to
November 29, 2005 be, and hereby is,
granted, effective immediately.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Corporation Finance, pursuant to delegated
authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.

12d2–2(d) thereunder,2 to withdraw its
common stock, no par value
(‘‘Security’’), from listing and
registration on the American Stock
Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’).
On November 4, 2005, the Board of
Directors (‘‘Board’’) of the Issuer
unanimously approved resolutions to
withdraw the Security from listing and
registration on Amex. The Issuer stated
that the Board is taking such action for
the following reasons: (i) The Board has
conducted a thorough review of the
Issuer’s current standing internally and
in the market and has determined that
the costs to the Issuer of public
reporting company status outweigh the
corresponding benefits; (ii) the Board
had voted to approve a plan to effect a
1 for 5,000 reverse stock split of the
Security with the purpose of bringing
the number of record holders below 300
to allow the Issuer to deregister the
Security as a class under the Act; (iii) on
September 28, 2005, the Issuer filed a
preliminary proxy statement with the
Commission to announce a special
meeting of shareholders of the Issuer
scheduled for December 19, 2005 to
seek shareholder approval of the
proposed reverse stock split; and (iv)
provided that the reverse stock split is
effected and the number of holders of
record of the Security falls below 300,
the Board has determined it to be in the
Issuer’s best interest to deregister the
Security from the Act. The Issuer stated
that it expects the Security to trade in
the over-the-counter market and quote
on the Pink Sheets following the
withdrawal of the Security from Amex.
The Issuer stated in its application
that it has met the requirements of
Amex Rule 18 by complying with all
applicable laws in effect in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in
which it is incorporated, and providing
written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
The Issuer’s application relates solely
to withdrawal of the Security from
listing on the Amex and from
registration under section 12(b) of the
Act,3 and shall not affect its obligation
to be registered under section 12(g) of
the Act.4
