Borr Drilling Limited - Update on Refinance

Borr Drilling Limited - Update on Refinance

Hamilton, Bermuda 14 July 2022: Borr Drilling Limited (the "Company")(NYSE and

OSE: BORR) refers to its communication of 30 June 2022 regarding the status of

the negotiation with its secured creditors. The Company's board is pleased to

announce that agreements in principle have been reached with most of the secured

creditors to extend the majority of secured debt to 2025. These agreements are

subject to the respective board's approvals and binding documentation. The

company is seeking the required consents and waiver extensions from lenders to

complete the transaction. Once these agreements are in place, the Company will

have long term financing on approximately $1.4 billion and has also maintained

the long-term financing on the 2 new builds in the amount of $ 260 million. The

refinancing is to be largely enabled by the sale of some select assets, and

additional equity.

The asset sale includes 3 rigs under construction/contract for which the company

has received a binding LOI as previously announced, plus an additional rig that

is targeted to be sold in Q4­2022, after which the rig fleet would consist of 22

delivered rigs plus 2 rigs under construction.

The agreements in principle contemplate partial paydown of the senior secured

facility collateralized by 8 rigs from $313 million to $250 million out of which

$100 million is subject to successful syndication. In case this facility is

reduced to $150 million drawn, then 3 rigs will be unencumbered assets that

could be sold to reduce capital requirements. In addition, the agreements in

principle contemplate a $30 million paydown of the Hayfin facility.
