We define a component as being distinguishable from the rest of our company because it has its own operations and cash flows. A component may be a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group. Such reclassifications had no effect on our net income or stockholders’ equity. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><b><i>Spin-off of Mat-Supported Jackup Business</i></b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On August 24, 2009, we completed the spin-off of Seahawk, which holds the assets and liabilities that were associated with our mat-supported jackup rig business. In the spin-off, our stockholders received 100% (approximately 11.6 million shares) of the outstanding common stock of Seahawk by way of a pro rata stock dividend. Each of our stockholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2009 received one share of Seahawk common stock for every 15 shares of our common stock held by such stockholder and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Seahawk common stock to which such stockholder otherwise would have been entitled. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;

We and Seahawk also agreed to indemnify each other for certain liabilities that may arise or be incurred in the future attributable to our respective businesses. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><b><i>Other Divestitures</i></b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In the third quarter of 2008, we entered into agreements to sell our remaining seven land rigs for $95 million in cash. The sale of all but one rig closed in the fourth quarter of 2008. We leased the remaining rig to the buyer until the sale of that rig closed, which occurred in the second quarter of 2009. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In February 2008, we completed the sale of our fleet of three self-erecting, tender-assist rigs for $213 million in cash. We operated one of the rigs until mid-April 2009, when we transitioned the operations of that rig to the owner. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the third quarter of 2007, we completed the disposition of our Latin America Land and E&P Services segments for $1.0 billion in cash. The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments for working capital and other indemnities. In December 2009, we filed suit against the buyer in the federal district court in the Southern District of New York to collect the final amount of the working capital adjustment payable by the buyer to us, plus interest, as determined in accordance with the purchase agreement, and the buyer made various counterclaims in the proceeding. All claims of the parties were settled in the first quarter of 2010, and the federal district court dismissed the claims with prejudice on March 10, 2010. From the closing date of the sale in the third quarter of 2007 through March 31, 2010, we recorded a total gain on disposal of $318.6 million, which included certain valuation adjustments for tax and other indemnities provided to the buyer and selling costs incurred by us. We have indemnified the buyer for certain obligations that may arise or be incurred in the future by the buyer with respect to the business. We believe it is probable that some of these liabilities will be settled with the buyer in cash. Our total estimated gain on disposal of assets includes a $2.0 million liability based on our fair value estimates for the indemnities. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $6.8 million charge to the gain on disposal in connection with the remeasurement of a remaining indemnity that resulted from a foreign exchange fluctuation. We continue to pursue resolution of certain outstanding tax indemnification claims with the buyer. The expected settlement dates for the remaining tax indemnities vary from within one year to several years. Our final gain may be materially affected by the final resolution of these matters. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: .25in; width: 7.20in"> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false Disclosure includes the facts and circumstances leading to the completed or expected disposal, manner and timing of disposal, the gain or loss recognized in the income statement and the income statement caption that includes that gain or loss, amounts of revenues and pretax profit or loss reported in discontinued operations, the segment in which the disposal group was reported, and the classification (whether sold or classified as held for sale) and carrying value of the assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group.
