Borr Drilling Limited - Receives creditor consent for extension of yard debt maturities and deliveries

Borr Drilling Limited - Receives creditor consent for extension of yard debt maturities and deliveries

Hamilton, Bermuda, 26 January 2022

Reference is made to Borr Drilling Limited's (the "Company") (NYSE and OSE:

"BORR") announcement 28 December 2021 relating to the subscription and

allocation of a total of 13,333,333 new depository receipts (the "Offer

Shares"), raising gross proceeds of USD 30 million (the "Equity Offering").

A condition for completion of the Equity Offering was obtaining such approvals

and waivers deemed necessary and appropriate from the Company's other creditors,

including Hayfin and DNB Bank ASA and the other lenders in the Senior Secured

Facilities (the "Facilities") to enter into the amendment agreements with the

yards for deferral of debt maturities and delivery instalments from 2023 to

2025. The Company is pleased to announce that it has today received consents

from these creditors to enter into the agreements with the shipyards as per the

terms agreed in December 2021.

The Company has agreed to enter into negotiations with the lenders of the

Facilities and certain holders of the 3.875% Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds

due 2023 (the "Convertible Bonds") and use its best efforts to reach a binding

refinancing of the Facilities and the Convertible Bonds by 31 March 2022 and

complete such refinancing by 30 June 2022.

The Company has also agreed with the lenders of the Facilities an amendment to

one of its financial covenants such that its book value to equity ratio

requirement will remain 25% until 30 June 2022.

"We are pleased to have reached agreements with the creditors in the Facilities

for the implementation of the deferral agreements with the yards. This is an

important step in order to find a long-term financing solution for Borr

Drilling" says CEO Patrick Schorn in a comment.

The date of settlement of the Offer Shares is expected to be on or about 28

January 2022, subject to satisfaction of the other closing conditions referred

to in the announcement made 28 December 2021. The Offer Shares will be listed on

the Oslo Stock Exchange ("OSE") upon delivery. No Offer Shares will be offered

or sold in transactions on the NYSE.
