Hunting Donates US$100,000 to Oilfield Helping Hands

HOUSTON, June 3, 2010 - Hunting PLC announced that it will donate US$100,000 to Oilfield Helping
Hands in connection with the international oil service company's 2010 Hunting
Art Prize.

The gift is supported by a contribution from Hunting and from sales
generated at the award ceremony by finalists in the 30th annual art
competition, which relocated to Houston in 2006 after a quarter century in
the United Kingdom.

Lane Hagood's painting, Books I Have Possessed, won the US$50,000 Hunting
Art Prize this year. The award, which was announced at a May 1 gala in
Houston, is historically one of the largest in North America for painting and
drawing.

Oilfield Helping Hands is a Houston-based non-profit organization that
provides financial assistance to oil and gas industry families who face
economic crises through no fault of their own.

"Oilfield Helping Hands is committed to our community and to being there
for friends and families in need," said Dennis Proctor, Chief Executive of
Hunting, whose North American headquarters are in Houston. "We're honored to
have the opportunity to support the organization's volunteers and mission."

"I know that a goal of the Hunting Art Prize is to change the lives of
artists in Texas," said Richard Saxon, vice president of Oilfield Helping
Hands. "But thanks to this generosity, the Prize is also changing the lives
of the people who work with us and the people we serve. We're very grateful,
and this contribution will enable us to serve more families than ever."
