1. As of May 22, 2026. For the 2030 Notes, this reflects an aggregate
principal amount of 2030 Notes adjusted to reflect amortization in respect
thereof. For the 2028 Notes, this reflects an aggregate principal amount of 2028
Notes adjusted to reflect amortization in respect thereof.
2. The factor for each series of Notes is a number that represents a fraction
(expressed as a decimal rounded to 8 decimal digits) the numerator of which
represents the unpaid principal amount of such series of securities and the
denominator which represents the current principal amount outstanding of such
series of securities (the "Factor"). The Tender Offer Consideration or the Total
Consideration, as applicable, will be the amount set forth in the table above
multiplied by the applicable Factor, which reflects the partial amortization of
the Notes.
3. For each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes validly tendered and
accepted for purchase and with respect to which the applicable Holder has
provided its Consent, as applicable. The Early Tender Payment includes a Consent
Payment of $2.50 for each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes. Holders
that validly tender their Notes and thereby deliver their Consents at or prior
to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline (and do not validly withdraw such Notes and
therefore do not validly revoke the related Consents) will be eligible to
receive the Consent Payment of $2.50 per $1,000 original principal amount of
Notes in respect of such Notes, even if a smaller principal amount of the 2030
Notes is accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer for the 2030 Notes
due to proration.
4. Excludes Accrued Interest, which will be paid in addition to the Tender
Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable.
5. The Total Consideration for the 2028 Notes validly tendered will be
determined by the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent (as defined herein) in
the manner described in this Statement by reference to the fixed spread (the
"Fixed Spread") specified above plus the yield (the "Reference Yield") based on
the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above (the
"Reference Security") as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of
pages (the "Reference Page") at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date
referred to herein as the "Price Determination Date," which includes the Early
Tender Payment (including the Consent Payment).
6. The Total Consideration for the 2030 Notes includes the Early Tender
Payment (including the Consent Payment).
The Tender Offer (as defined below) consists of the offer to purchase for cash,
using funds provided by the Financing Transaction (as defined below), together
with cash on hand, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 26, 2026 (as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Statement") (i) any and all of
the outstanding 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and
(ii) up to $447,317,000.00 aggregate original principal amount (the "Maximum
2030 Notes Tender Amount") of the 10.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 (the
"2030 Notes"). We may also use funds provided by the Financing Transaction or
cash on hand to pay the Accrued Interest (as defined below) and related costs
and expenses. We refer to this offer to purchase the Notes and the potential
Increased Offer (as defined below) as the "Tender Offer."
The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are subject to, among other things,
the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition (in relation to either of
the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation or both of them). The "Financing
Condition" means the completion of an offering of Senior Secured Notes due 2032
(the "2032 Notes") and Senior Secured Notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes" and
together with the 2032 Notes, the "New Notes") by the Issuer and Borr Finance
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a directly wholly owned subsidiary
of the Issuer (together with the Issuer, the "Co-Issuers") (the "New Notes
Offering") in aggregate principal amount equal to at least $1.6 billion, on
terms satisfactory to the Issuer in its sole discretion. The New Notes are
expected to be delivered to purchasers thereof on or around June 10, 2026. The
Tender Offer and the Statement are not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any New Notes or to participate in any other financing.
We intend consummate the New Notes Offering on terms and conditions satisfactory
to us, in our sole discretion, yielding net cash proceeds sufficient to fund the
Total Consideration (as defined below) for all tendered Notes accepted in the
Tender Offer, including the Consent Payment for all delivered Consents accepted
in the Consent Solicitation, and the fees and expenses related to the Tender
Offer and Consent Solicitation (the "Financing Transaction").
Holders of the Notes (each a "Holder" and collectively the "Holders") who
validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the
Early Tender/Consent Deadline will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer
Consideration, plus the Early Tender Payment (as defined below), including the
Consent Payment (as defined below)) (together, the "Total Consideration") on
June 11, 2026 (the "Early Settlement Date") if such Notes are accepted for
purchase.
The Total Consideration is as follows:
1. for each $1,000 original principal amount of the 2028 Notes, an amount
determined in the manner described in this Statement by reference to the Fixed
Spread specified for the 2028 Notes on the front cover page of this Statement
over the Reference Yield (as defined below) based on the bid side price of the
applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security (as defined below) specified on the
front cover page of this Statement, at the Price Determination Date (as defined
below) (unless extended by the Issuer), and
2. for each $1,000 original principal amount of the 2030 Notes, $1,060.00.
The Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, will
be multiplied by the applicable Factor, which reflects the partial amortization
of the Notes.
Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will
also receive accrued and unpaid interest, multiplied by the applicable Factor
("Accrued Interest") from the last interest payment date on such purchased Notes
up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date.
We refer to the "Early Tender Payment" as an amount in cash equal to $50.00 for
each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes an
amount in cash equal to $2.50 (the "Consent Payment") for each $1,000 original
principal amount of Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for
purchase in the Tender Offer. Payment of the Total Consideration for Holders who
tender by the Early Tender/Consent Deadline is expected to be made on the Early
Settlement Date (as defined below).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that
the amount of 2030 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to
the Early Tender/Consent Deadline exceeds the Maximum 2030 Notes Tender Amount,
we intend, but are not obligated to, increase such Maximum 2030 Notes Tender
Amount, which may be up to all of the outstanding 2030 Notes (the "Increased
Offer"). The Company refers Holders to the Statement for the complete terms and
conditions of the Tender Offer.
The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 24, 2026,
unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be
extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"). In order to be eligible
to receive the Total Consideration for your Notes, you must validly tender (and
not validly withdraw) your Notes and provide Consents to the Proposed Amendments
(as defined below) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8,
2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may
be extended or earlier terminated, the "Early Tender/Consent Deadline").
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer
at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2026, but not
thereafter, unless such time is extended (such time, as the same may be
extended, the "Withdrawal/Revocation Time"). If the aggregate principal amount
of 2030 Notes (as defined below) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at
the Early Tender/Consent Deadline is equal to or in excess of the Maximum 2030
Notes Tender Amount, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, not accept any 2030
Notes tendered after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.
In conjunction with the Tender Offer, we are soliciting from Holders consents
("Consents") to effect the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments (as defined in the
Statement) and, in the event of an Increased Offer, the Increased Offer Proposed
Amendments (as defined in the Statement) to the indenture governing the Notes
(the "Indenture"). Subject to receipt of the relevant Initial Offer Requisite
Consents (as defined in the Statement), the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments
would (i) disapply substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the
Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes, (ii) remove certain rights of holders
of 2028 Notes upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default (as defined in
the Indenture), (iii) align and conform certain covenants, definitions and other
terms in the Indenture with those that will be contained in the indenture that
will govern the Issuer's New Notes to be issued in the Financing Transaction
(the "New Notes Indenture") and (iv) with respect to the 2028 Notes only,
disapply certain covenants relating to the Collateral and release all Liens in
the Collateral securing the 2028 Notes. Subject to receipt of the relevant
Increased Offer Requisite Consents, the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments
would (i) remove substantially all of the covenants and other obligations under
the Indenture that can be removed with the consent of holders of a majority of
the original principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) disapply
certain covenants relating to the Collateral and release all Liens in the
Collateral securing the Notes. The amendments in the foregoing (ii)(A) and (B)
will only be operative in the event there is an Increased Offer (as defined
below). The Initial Offer Proposed Amendments and the Increased Offer Proposed
Amendments are referred to collectively herein as the "Proposed Amendments." We
refer to this solicitation of Consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments
as the "Consent Solicitation."
Holders are required to Consent to both the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments
and the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments in order to tender their Notes in
the Tender Offer and, if the Increased Offer occurs and the relevant Requisite
Consents are obtained, the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments will be effected
in lieu of the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments without any further consent
from Holders.
No Consent may be validly delivered, and therefore no Consent Payment shall be
made with respect to Notes tendered, after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may exercise
its right to redeem up to 10.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of
the 2030 Notes (including additional 2030 Notes that have been issued) at a
redemption price equal to 103.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the
redemption date. However, there can be no assurance that any 2030 Notes will be
so redeemed. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption
for the Notes. The Company may also exercise its right to redeem the Notes at
the applicable redemption price as set out in the Indenture.
Furthermore, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding 2028 Notes or 2030 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such
Notes, the Issuer may elect to redeem all remaining Notes of such series that
remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the
price offered to each tendering Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive
fee) plus, to the extent not included in the payment to tendering Holders,
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of
such redemption. However, there can be no assurance that any Notes will be so
redeemed. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption for
the Notes.
The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Statement. Full details of the
terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are
included in the Company's Solicitation.
