HOUSTON, Texas May 1, 2003 — Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL), reported today that it had missed a proxy statement filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had previously planned to make. The filing was required by April 30, 2003, as a result of the Company’s election, as permitted by SEC rules, to omit certain information from its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company is currently working towards the preparation and filing of an amendment to its Form 10-K for December 31, 2002, to include the previously omitted information, which will cure the filing deficiency. The Company is not restating its financial statements to its form 10K for December 31, 2002. The Company anticipates filing the amendment with the SEC next week. The Company explained that recent unusual demands on personnel and temporary staffing constraints were responsible for the delay.
