Borr Drilling Limited - Update Refinancing

Hamilton, Bermuda 21 July 2022: Borr Drilling Limited (the "Company") (NYSE and

OSE: BORR) refers to its announcements of 14 July 2022 regarding the status of

negotiations with its secured creditors and a possible equity offering.

The Company's board is pleased to announce that it has obtained a financing

proposal for the remaining $100 million of the $250 million senior secured

facilities that was still subject to final syndication as described in the

announcement of 14 July 2022. As such, agreements in principle with all the

secured creditors have now been reached to extend all secured debt to 2025,

subject to the partial paydowns described in the 14 July announcement. These

agreements in principle are subject to the respective boards' and credit

committees' approvals and binding documentation. The necessary covenant waivers

have been extended by the lenders in the existing bank syndicate to enable the

company to complete the transactions referenced above.

The Company anticipates that the need for additional liquidity in connection

with the closing of the agreements in principle referenced above can be reduced

from the $250 million communicated previously to approximately $150 million.

The Company will continue to seek solutions which could optimize the current

capital structure and reduce the need for liquidity further. Such solutions

could include further asset sales, JV structures as well as additional asset

financing.

The Company is encouraged by the strong positive momentum in day rates shown

through recent fixtures and tender activity, and by the fact that the

utilization of the modern jack up fleet now exceeds 92%.

This press release does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
