RIG Transocean Ltd

Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) announced today the pricing terms of the previously announced cash tender offer by Transocean Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company” and, together with Transocean Ltd., “Transocean”), for any and all of the Company’s outstanding 11.50% Senior Guaranteed Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) from holders thereof (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”). The cash tender offers previously announced for the 2027 Notes and the 7.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (collectively, the “Notes”) were made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated April 11, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”). The offers to purchase for cash the Notes (the “Offers”) will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, today, April 17, 2024, unless extended (such date and time, as may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), or unless earlier terminated.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer for the 2027 Notes, including the completion of an offering of debt securities on terms satisfactory to the Company (including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds raised in such offering), the consideration per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to such Offer will be the total consideration set forth in the table below (the “Total Consideration”) on the Settlement Date or the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date (each defined herein) (which may be extended by the Company). The Total Consideration for the 2027 Notes was calculated in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread specified in the table below.

(1) No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers listed herein or printed on the 2027 Notes, and are provided solely for convenience of the reader.         (2) Per $1,000 principal amount. Excludes Accrued Interest (as defined herein), which will be paid as set forth herein as applicable.

In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of 2027 Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such 2027 Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to the 2027 Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date (the “Accrued Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all 2027 Notes accepted in the Offer, including any such 2027 Notes tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures. As a result, 2027 Notes tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures will not receive accrued interest from the Settlement Date through the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date.

In respect of all 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Company will make payment in same-day funds promptly following the Expiration Date, anticipated to be April 18, 2024, the first business day after the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”). In respect of all 2027 Notes for which a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures on or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase, the Company will make payment in same-day funds promptly following the Guaranteed Delivery Expiration Date, anticipated to be April 22, 2024, the first business day after the Guaranteed Delivery Expiration Date (the “Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date”).

Each Offer is a separate offer, and each may be individually amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, at any time in the Company’s sole discretion, and without amending, extending, terminating or withdrawing any other Offer. No Offer is conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of 2027 Notes or the Notes of any series being tendered nor the consummation of any other Offer. Additionally, notwithstanding any other provision of the Offers, the Company’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any of the 2027 Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, and the Company expressly reserves its right, subject to applicable law, to terminate any Offer at any time.

The Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, copies of which may be requested from the information agent for the tender offer, D.F.
