Borr Drilling Limited Announces Launch of Senior Secured Notes Offerin

Borr Drilling Limited Announces Launch of Senior Secured Notes Offerin

Hamilton, Bermuda, October 23, 2023. Borr Drilling Limited (the "Company") (NYSE

and OSE: BORR) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Borr IHC

Limited, and certain other subsidiaries intend to offer, subject to market

conditions, $1,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes

due 2028 and 2030. The notes will be guaranteed by the Company and certain of

its subsidiaries and will be secured on a senior basis on substantially all of

the assets of the Company and certain subsidiary guarantors.

In connection with the notes offering, the Company is contemplating: (i) a

private placement in Norway of approximately $50 million in shares and (ii)

entering into a $180 million super senior revolving credit facility, to be

secured on a super senior basis by the same collateral that will secure the

notes.

The proceeds from the notes offering are intended to be used, together with the

proceeds from the equity offering, to repay all of the Company's outstanding

secured borrowings, being borrowing under the DNB Facility, the Hayfin Facility,

the shipyard delivery financing arrangements with OPPL and PPL, the $150 million

Norwegian law Senior Secured Bonds, and to pay related premiums, fees, accrued

interest and expenses, in connection with the foregoing, and the remainder, if

any, for general corporate purposes.

Pricing of the notes offering is expected on or about October 24, 2023.

The settlement of the equity offering is subject to certain conditions,

including the pricing and settlement of the notes offering. The Company has

conducted a selective pre-sounding of its largest existing shareholders and

received indications such that the $50 million private placement will be

covered. In case of demand from other existing shareholders during a

contemplated bookbuilding for the private placement, these investors may be

scaled down to their pro-rata allocation. No shares will be offered or sold in

transactions on the NYSE.

This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU

Market Abuse Regulation and subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to

section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. This stock exchange notice

was published by Andreas Lavik Lie, VP Treasury & IR, on the date and time as

set out above.
