•Cautionary ~~equitize~~Statement ~~approximately~~Regarding ~~$2.7~~Forward-Looking ~~billion~~Statements ~~in secured term loan obligations; and~~

•This ~~select~~report goon Form 6-K includes forward-looking ~~service~~statements. ~~providers~~Such ~~for~~statements are generally not historical in nature, and specifically include statements about the ~~Debtors~~Company’s ~~fleet~~plans, strategies, business prospects, changes and trends in its business, the markets in which it operates and its restructuring efforts. These statements are made based upon management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risks described from time to time in the Company’s regulatory filings and periodical reporting. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Terms of the Plan of Reorganization

The Company has further documented the terms of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan Support Agreement in the chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) that was filed on February 13, 2021 with an accompanying disclosure statement (“Disclosure Statement”). The Plan provides for, among other things:

• the TLB Lenders to receive 100% of the new common stock issued under the Plan in exchange for the discharge of approximately $2.7 billion in secured term loan claims;

• general unsecured creditors to receive a treatment to be determined consistent with the Plan Support Agreement;

• existing interests in the Company to be extinguished;

• customary releases among the Company, the TLB Lenders, and their respective related parties of potential claims and causes of action; and

• the retention by the Company of claims it may have against Seadrill Limited.

The transactions contemplated by the Plan Support Agreement and the Plan are subject to court approval and other terms and conditions, and the foregoing descriptions of the Plan Support Agreement and Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, which are filed as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, to this Form 6-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
