UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Seadrill Limited (“Seadrill” or the “Company”) and the accompanying explanatory notes (the “Pro Forma Financial Information”) have been prepared to illustrate the following transactions:

Transaction completed after balance sheet date

 

   

Refinancing of Secured Debt: On July 27, 2023, Seadrill issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in an offering (the “Offering”) conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Subsequently, on August 8, 2023, the Company issued an additional $75 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Incremental Notes”). The Incremental Notes mature on August 1, 2030, and were issued at 100.75% of par.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $575 million of 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (the “Second Lien Notes”) were used to: (i) prepay in full the outstanding amounts under the existing secured debt facilities, entered into on February 23, 2022, upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, and (ii) pay fees associated with exiting such secured debt facilities.

The existing secured debt facilities included (i) the $300 million term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “Initial RCF”) and (ii) the $683 million secured second lien facility (the “Initial Second Lien”). The Initial Term Loan and Initial RCF, if drawn, bore interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the secured overnight financial rate facility (“SOFR”) (and any applicable credit adjustment spread). The Initial Second Lien bore interest at a total margin of 12.5% per annum plus SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread). At July 27, 2023, the outstanding principal for the Initial Term Loan and Initial Second Lien, $175 million and $115 million, respectively, was prepaid in full with proceeds from the Second Lien Notes issuance. Further, the Initial RCF had not been drawn.

In addition, on July 11, 2023, Seadrill Ltd., along with its subsidiary, Seadrill Finance Limited, established a new Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “RCF”). The commitments under the RCF, which carries a five-year term, became available for drawdown on July 27, 2023, following the issuance of the second lien notes and repayment of Seadrill’s existing facilities. The RCF permits borrowings of up to $225 million in revolving credit for working capital and other corporate purposes and includes an ‘accordion feature’ allowing Seadrill to increase this limit by up to an additional $100 million subject to agreement from the lenders. It also includes a provision for issuing letters of credit up to $50 million. The RCF incurs interest at a rate equal to a specified margin plus the SOFR. Seadrill is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the revolving credit.

The Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $26 million associated with the refinancing.

As a result of the Company’s refinancing (“Debt Refinancing”), the higher interest debt facilities entered into on February 23, 2022, upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, were repaid in full and replaced with the more favorable Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 at a lower rate of 8.375%.

Transactions completed prior to balance sheet date

 

   

Business Combination: On April 3, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the definitive merger agreement, dated December 22, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Seadrill, Seadrill Merger Sub, LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, wholly owned subsidiary of Seadrill (“Merger Sub”), and Aquadrill LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company (“Aquadrill”), Aquadrill merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger” or the “Business Combination”) with Aquadrill surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Seadrill. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Aquadrill unitholders received (i) 29.9 million Seadrill common shares, (ii) cash consideration of $1 million, and (iii) $30 million settled by tax withholding in lieu of common shares.

The Merger is accounted for as a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where Seadrill is the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Aquadrill and its subsidiaries were recorded at their respective fair values as of the Closing Date. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change for up to one year after the Closing Date as Seadrill finalizes the valuation of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and the related tax balances as of the Closing Date. Such adjustments could be material.

Seadrill Reorganization: On February 22, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), Seadrill concluded its comprehensive restructuring process and emerged from bankruptcy reorganization under Chapter 11 (the “Seadrill Reorganization”).

 

   

Paratus Energy Services Limited (“PES”) Sale: On October 26, 2021, Seadrill New Finance Limited and its subsidiaries (formerly “NSNCo” and now “PES”) were classified as a discontinued operation following the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a proposed sale of 65% of Seadrill’s equity interest in PES to its lenders. The sale was conducted as part of Seadrill’s comprehensive restructuring and was completed on January 20, 2022. On February 24, 2023, Seadrill sold the remaining 35% equity interest, collectively the “PES Sale”. In connection with the PES Sale, on March 14, 2023, the Company provided each of PES and SeaMex Holdings Ltd (“SeaMex Holdings”) with a termination notice regarding (i) the Master Services Agreement by and between PES and Seadrill Management Ltd (“SML”), dated January 20, 2022 (the “Paratus MSA”), and (ii) the Master Services Agreement by and among SeaMex Holdings, certain operating companies party thereto and SML, dated January 20, 2022 (the “SeaMex MSA”), respectively. The Paratus MSA will terminate effective July 12, 2023; and the SeaMex MSA will terminate effective September 10, 2023. The Company does not believe these terminations will have a material effect on the financial condition of Seadrill.

 

   

Sale of Jackup Units: On October 18, 2022, Seadrill sold the entities that own and operate seven jackup units (the “Jackup Sale”) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ADES Arabia Holding Ltd. (“ADES”). The Jackup Sale caused immediate cash repayment obligations under the Initial Second Lien. The repayment obligations, contractually referred to as mandatory payments, were based on the proceeds received and resulted in a minimum payment of $204 million, comprised of $192 million in debt principal, $10 million in exit fee, and $2 million in accrued interest.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared under the following assumptions:

 

   

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 assume that the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2022. The impacts from the Seadrill Reorganization, PES Sale and Jackup Sale have already been reflected in the historical consolidated statement of operations of Seadrill for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and therefore no pro forma statement of operations adjustments were made for the respective interim period.

 

   

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, assumes that the Debt Refinancing had occurred on June 30, 2023. The impacts from the Merger, Seadrill Reorganization, PES Sale and Jackup Sale have already been reflected in the historical consolidated balance sheet of Seadrill as of June 30, 2023 and therefore no pro forma balance sheet adjustments were made for these transactions.

The Pro Forma Financial Information presented herein is provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have been achieved had the transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor is this pro forma financial information necessarily indicative of the operations results in future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that Seadrill believes are reasonable and factually supportable. The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the following:

The unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and notes of Seadrill included in Seadrill’s Report on Form 6-K as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 filed with the SEC on August 15, 2023, and incorporated by reference herein.

 

   

The audited historical consolidated financial statements and notes of Aquadrill as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for each of the two years ended December 31, 2022 included in Seadrill’s Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 12, 2023, and incorporated by reference herein.

Notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared by Seadrill in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The pro forma adjustments include transaction accounting adjustments, which reflect the application of required accounting for the transactions. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, otherwise known as Management’s Adjustments. Seadrill has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments as the Company is continuing to evaluate the realizability of synergies including timing and cost to achieve.

Seadrill adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), upon the emergence from reorganization under Chapter 11, resulting in reorganized Seadrill becoming the successor entity (“Successor”) for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, Seadrill allocated reorganization values to individual assets based on estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805. Liabilities subject to compromise of the predecessor of Seadrill (“Predecessor”) were either reinstated or extinguished as part of the reorganization. Refer to Note 4 for the results of the Seadrill Reorganization for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The historical financial statements of Seadrill and Aquadrill were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and shown in U.S. dollars. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 assumes that the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2022. The impacts from the Seadrill Reorganization, PES Sale and Jackup Sale have already been reflected in the historical consolidated statement of operations of Seadrill for the six months ended June 30, 2023. and therefore no pro forma statement of operations adjustments were made for the respective interim period. Additionally, Aquadrill’s results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 are included in Seadrill’s historical results for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, assumes that the transactions had occurred on June 30, 2023. The impacts from the Merger, Seadrill Reorganization, PES Sale and Jackup Sale have already been reflected in the historical consolidated balance sheet of Seadrill as of June 30, 2023 and therefore no pro forma balance sheet adjustments were made for these transactions.

Note 3: Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations

Reorganization Adjustments

 

  a.

Vessel and rig operating expenses – In conjunction with the Seadrill Reorganization, the Company entered into an amended lease agreement with SFL Corporation Ltd. (“SFL”) for the West Linus drilling unit. Prior to the amendment, this lease was classified as a finance lease and, as a result of the modification, was reclassified as an operating lease. The adjustment below reflects the operating lease expense associated with the modification and reversal of the gain on extinguishment of previously accrued operating costs on the Effective Date.

  c.

Interest expense – Reflects the adjustment to remove the historical interest expense for the Predecessor debt instruments and unwind on the SFL leases, and to record the interest expense associated with the debt instruments entered into upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings. The pro forma adjustments to interest expense were calculated as follows:

Assuming an increase in interest rates on the debt instruments of 1/8%, pro forma interest would increase by nil for the period from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022. The interest rates used for the purposes of calculating pro forma interest expenses for the Initial Term Loan, Initial Second Lien, and convertible bonds were 7.94%, 13.44%, and 6.96% respectively.

  f.

Basic/Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding The calculation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding assumes that the shares issued relating to the Merger have been outstanding for the entire period presented. Thus, the shares issued relating to the Merger shown in the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding figure in the table below are assumed to have been outstanding since January 1, 2022. Seadrill has recognized the effects of the Merger as of the Closing Date in its historical financial statements, including the effects to basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. In addition to the Merger, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the cancellation of the Predecessor equity and issuance of 50 million Successor common shares, which reduced the weighted-average common shares outstanding by 50 million.
