Awilco Drilling PLC: Ruling of the first arbitration case

Reference is made to the stock exchange release of 8 June 2020 from Awilco

Drilling PLC ("Awilco Drilling") regarding the termination of the newbuilding

contract between Awilco Rig 1 Pte. Ltd. ("AR1") and Keppel FELS Limited

("KFELS") for the construction of a semi-submersible drilling rig, hull number

B379, as a result of breaches under the Vessel Construction Contract.

Today, the Company has received the arbitration tribunal ruling which has

awarded in favour of KFELS.

AR1 is disappointed with the Tribunal's decision and is currently reviewing the

award to establish if grounds exist for appeal and, if so the merits of such an

appeal. We will revert with further information as soon as the detailed review

of the arbitration award has been completed.
