Kirby Corporation

Kirby Corporation is listed on NYSE (KEX). Kirby Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on January 31, 1969 as a subsidiary of Kirby Industries, Inc. (Industries). The Company became publicly owned on September 30, 1976 when its common stock was distributed pro rata to the stockholders of Industries in connection with the liquidation of Industries. At that time, the Company was engaged in oil and gas exploration and production, marine transportation and property and casualty insurance. Since then, through a series of acquisitions and divestitures, the Company has become primarily a marine transportation company and is no longer engaged in the oil and gas or the property and casualty insurance businesses. In 1990, the name of the Company was changed from Kirby Exploration Company, Inc. to Kirby Corporation because of the changing emphasis of its business. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries.
