operating and maintenance expenses increased by US$20.2 million in Q1 2018

compared to Q1 2017. The increase is primarily driven by operational costs for

2017). Depreciation in Q1 2018 increased by US$11.2 million compared to Q1 2017

as a result of a larger fleet of jack-up drilling rigs.

months ended March 31, 2018 (US$1.6 million in Q1 2017). The increase of US$8.6

million compared to Q1 2017 was primarily a result of termination benefits and

various professional fees in connection with the acquisition of Paragon, a

larger organization and additional offices due to more rigs in operations. On a

run-rate basis at present activity levels, the G&A is expected to be around

US$25m excluding non-cash employee share option charges for the next 12 months.

Gain from bargain purchase was US$38.1 million for the three months ended March

31, 2018 (US$ nil in Q1 2017). This relates to non-cash bargain purchase gain on

the Paragon acquisition.

Total restructuring expenses were US$17.9 million for the three months ended

and close-down costs linked to Paragon acquisition.

2018 (US$ nil in Q1 2017). The increase relates to unrealized loss on forward

contracts of US$20.0 million. As of May 30, 2018, this forward position has

since end of the quarter increased in value with approximately US$25 million.

(December 31, 2017: US$1,672.3 million). Total assets increased by US$465.0

million compared to December 31, 2017 primarily as a result of the acquisition

of Paragon Offshore in the first quarter and delivery of the three newbuildings

"Saga", "Gerd" and "Gersemi". The Company took ownership of 22 jack-up drilling

rigs and one semisubmersible when acquiring Paragon, whereof 15 rigs are

classified as held for sale at the end of the quarter. The acquired jack-up

Total liabilities as of March 31, 2018, were US$467.2 million (December 31,

placement of US$27.6 million and unrealized loss on forward contracts of US$15.5
