Item 8.01 Other Events

On July 22, 2011, the owners of the Rowan Halifax mobile offshore drilling rig, which was destroyed in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Rita, reached an agreement to settle all claims related to the dispute with Rowan Companies, Inc. (“Rowan”) regarding, among other things, the value of the rig and the amount of insurance Rowan was required to maintain on the rig. The agreement provides for an approximately $27.5 million payment to the owners of the rig in settlement of all claims of the parties and ends the uncertainty and cost associated with the matter, including the potential for protracted litigation notwithstanding the outcome of the case that was pending before the Supreme Court of Texas.
