 What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card? |

It means you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please follow the instructions and vote the shares represented by each proxy card that you receive. To avoid this situation in the future, we encourage you to have all accounts registered in the same name and address whenever possible. For shares you hold directly, you can do this by contacting our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, at 800.468.9716.

| 17. | Who will count the votes? |

We have hired a third party, Broadridge Financial Solutions, to judge the voting, be responsible for determining whether a quorum is present, and tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting.

| 18. | Who will bear the cost for soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting? |

We will bear all expenses in conjunction with the solicitation of proxies, including the charges of brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries for forwarding documents to beneficial owners. However, we will not bear any costs related to an individual shareholder’s use of the Internet or telephone to cast their vote. Proxies may be solicited by mail, in person, by telephone or by facsimile, by certain of our directors, officers and other employees, without extra compensation.

| 19. | How can I obtain directions to attend the Annual Meeting? |

Directions to the Annual Meeting can be obtained at www.helixesg.com/annualmeeting.

| 20. | May shareholders ask questions at the Annual Meeting? |

Yes. During the Annual Meeting shareholders may ask questions directly related to the matters being voted on. To ensure an orderly meeting, we ask that shareholders direct questions to the moderator of the Annual Meeting. In addition, certain directors, officers and other employees will be available at the meeting to provide information about 2024 developments and to answer questions of more general interest regarding Helix.

| 21. | How do I find out the results of the Annual Meeting? |

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
