As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the rig and its related inventory was approximately $21.5 million. The closing of the sale is expected to occur in January 2014 following the completion of the unit’s contract with its current customer, CEC International, Ltd. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
