Chapter 11 Proceedings
In this note we have provided an overview of our Chapter 11 Reorganization and related transactions.
Overview
Prior to the filing of Chapter 11 Proceedings (as defined below), we were engaged in extensive discussions with our secured lenders, certain holders of our unsecured bonds and potential new money investors regarding the terms of a comprehensive restructuring. The objectives of the restructuring were to build a bridge to a recovery and achieve a sustainable capital structure. To achieve this, we had proposed an extension to our bank maturities, reduced debt amortization payments, amendments to financial covenants and raising of new capital.
On September 12, 2017, Old Seadrill Limited, certain of its subsidiaries (together "the Company Parties") and certain Ship Finance companies entered into a restructuring support and lock-up agreement ("RSA") with a group of bank lenders, bondholders, certain other stakeholders, and new-money providers. In connection with the RSA, the Company Parties entered into an "Investment Agreement" under which Hemen Investments Limited, an affiliate of Old Seadrill Limited's largest shareholder Hemen Holding Ltd. and certain other commitment parties, committed to provide $1.06 billion in new cash commitments, subject to certain terms and conditions (the "Capital Commitment").
On September 12, 2017, to implement the transactions contemplated by the RSA and Investment Agreement, Old Seadrill Limited and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Debtors") commenced prearranged reorganization proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Proceedings") under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Victoria Division. During the bankruptcy proceedings, the Debtors continued to operate the business as debtors in possession.
After September 12, 2017, the Debtors negotiated with their various creditors and on February 26, 2018 announced a "Global Settlement", following which there were amendments to the RSA and Investment Agreement. These amendments provided for, amongst other things, the inclusion of certain other creditors as Commitment Parties, an increase of the Capital Commitment to $1.08 billion, increased recoveries for general unsecured creditors under the Plan and an agreement regarding allowed claims from certain newbuild shipyards.
On February 26, 2018, the Debtors filed a proposed Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 17, 2018. The Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 Proceedings on July 2, 2018 (the "Effective Date").
The Plan extinguished approximately $2.4 billion in unsecured bond obligations, more than $1.0 billion in contingent newbuild obligations, substantial unliquidated guarantee obligations, and approximately $250 million in unsecured interest rate and currency swap claims, while extending near term debt maturities, providing Seadrill with over $1.0 billion in new capital and leaving employee, customer and ordinary trade claims largely unimpaired.
Key terms of the Plan of Reorganization
As set out above, the Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 17, 2018 and became effective when the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 Proceedings on July 2, 2018. The Plan provided for, among other things, that:
There was a corporate reorganization whereby Seadrill Limited became the ultimate parent holding company of Old Seadrill Limited's subsidiaries.
The Commitment Parties and subscribers to an equity rights offering subscribed for a total 23,750,000 shares in Seadrill Limited for aggregate consideration of $200 million.
The Commitment Parties and subscribers to a notes rights offering subscribers purchased a total $880 million principal amount of New Secured Notes and were issued 54,625,000 shares in Seadrill Limited for an aggregate consideration of $880 million.
The holders of general unsecured claim were issued 14,250,000 shares in Seadrill Limited.
The former holders of Old Seadrill Limited Equity and certain other claimants were issued 1,900,000 shares in Seadrill Limited.
Certain Commitment Parties received a fee of 475,000 shares in Seadrill Limited and Hemen received a fee of 5,000,000 shares in Seadrill Limited.
An employee incentive plan was implemented (the “Employee Incentive Plan”) which reserved an aggregate of 10% of the Seadrill Limited Shares, for grants to be made from time to time to Seadrill employees and other parties.

i. Advisory and professional fees
Professional and advisory fees incurred for post-petition Chapter 11 expenses. Professional and advisory expenses have been incurred post-emergence but relate to our Chapter 11 filing.
ii. New investor commitment fees
Commitment fee of 5% of the committed funds agreed under the terms of the investment agreement.
iii. Loss on Newbuilding global settlement claim
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors had the right to reject certain contracts, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Subject to certain exceptions, this rejection relieves the debtor from performing its future obligations under the contract but entitles the counterparty to assert a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages. As part of the Global Settlement Agreement, it was agreed that the Debtors would reject and terminate the newbuild contracts for the drillships West Dorado, West Libra, West Aquila and West Libra. In return the newbuild shipyards Samsung and DSME received an allowed claim for $1,064 million. In addition to the re-organization expense shown above, we also recorded a non-cash impairment charge against these Newbuild assets of $696 million at December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 19 - Newbuildings for further details.
iv. Gain on liabilities subject to compromise
On emergence from Chapter 11 we settled our liabilities subject to compromise in accordance with the Plan. This includes settlement on our unsecured bonds, Newbuild global settlement claim (see above) and interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Refer to Note 5 – Fresh Start Accounting for further information.
v. Fresh start valuation adjustments
On emergence from Chapter 11, our assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 852 related to fresh start reporting. The effects of the application of fresh start accounting were applied as of July 2, 2018 and the new basis of our assets and liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 (Successor) and the related adjustments thereto were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Predecessor. Refer to Note 5 – Fresh Start Accounting for further information.
vi. Write-off of debt issuance costs
On filing for Chapter 11, $66 million of unamortized debt issuance costs on the impaired secured credit facilities and unsecured bonds were expensed.
vii. Reversal of credit risk on derivatives
The filing for Chapter 11 triggered an event of default under our derivative agreements, and therefore our interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps were held at a terminated value. As such, any credit risk adjustment on these arrangements was taken to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
viii. Interest income on surplus cash invested
Interest income recognized on cash held within entities that had filed for Chapter 11.
Fresh Start Accounting
Fresh Start Accounting
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we applied fresh start accounting to our financial statements in accordance with the provision set forth in ASC852 as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company prior to emergence received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Company outstanding following its emergence from bankruptcy and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.
We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective July 2, 2018 (the "Convenience Date"), to coincide with the timing of the normal third quarter reporting period, which resulted in Seadrill becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. We evaluated and concluded that events between July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2018 were immaterial and that the use of an accounting Convenience Date of July 1, 2018 was appropriate. The effects of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting were applied as of July 2, 2018 and the new basis of our assets and liabilities are reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 and the related adjustments thereto were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Predecessor as "Reorganization items" during the period from January 1, 2018 through July 1, 2018. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period after July 2, 2018 (the “Successor”) will not be comparable with the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to that date.
Reorganization Value
Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s total assets and is intended to approximate to the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after restructuring. Under fresh start accounting, we are required to allocate the reorganization value to individual assets based on their estimated fair values.
The Plan presented on February 26, 2018, and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 17, 2018, estimated a range of distributable value for the Successor Company of between $10.2 billion and $11.8 billion. We derived the reorganization value based on the mid-point of this range of estimated distributable values. This was approximately $11.0 billion. Fair values are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations, and financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.
Valuation of Drilling Units
Our principal assets comprise our fleet of drilling units. With the assistance of valuation experts, we determined a fair value of these drilling units based primarily on an income approach utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. We established an estimate of future cash flows for the period ranging from emergence to the end of life for each rig and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows used in the discounted cash flows were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections.
A discount rate of 11.4% was estimated based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") reflecting the rate of return that would be expected by a market participant. The WACC also takes into consideration a company specific risk premium reflecting the risk associated with the overall uncertainty of the financial projects used to estimate future cash flows. We used a replacement cost approach to value capital spares and other property plant, and equipment.
Valuation of Equity Method Investments
The fair value of equity method investments was derived using an income approach, which discounts future free cash flows. The estimated future free cash flows associated with the investments were primarily based on expectations around applicable day rates, drilling unit utilization, operating costs, capital and long-term maintenance expenditures, applicable tax rates and industry conditions. The cash flows were estimated over the remaining useful economic lives of the underlying assets but no longer than 30 years in total, and discounted using an estimated market participant WACC as follows:

The discounted cash flow model derived an enterprise value of the investments, after which associated net debt was subtracted to provide equity values. The implied valuation of the direct ownership interests in Seadrill Partners derived from the discounted cash flow model was crosschecked against the market price of Seadrill Partners’ common units. Due to the significant influence we have on Seadrill Partners, there is an implied significant influence premium, which represents the additional value we would place over and above the market price of Seadrill Partners in order to maintain this significant influence. This is similar in thought to an implied control premium. We have evaluated the difference by reviewing the implied control premium as compared to other market transactions within the industry. We deem the implied control premium to be reasonable in the context of the data considered.
Valuation of debt
We recorded third party and related party debt obligations at a fair value of $7.3 billion which we determined using an income approach. We are amortizing the difference between the $7.6 billion face amount and the fair value recorded in fresh start accounting over the life of the debt. We estimated the fair value of the debt using Level 2 inputs.
For further information on fresh start accounting, please refer to the Seadrill Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018.
