The Offer is now scheduled to expire at 6:00 PM Eastern time on Tuesday 27 March

Offer Agreement and Borr's Offer to Purchase. Upon expiration, payment for the

Shares accepted for purchase under the Offer will occur as promptly as is

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, has advised

until the Offer is terminated, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Tender

Offer Agreement and Borr's Offer to Purchase. Shareholders who have already

tendered their Shares do not have to re-tender their Shares or take any other

action as a result of the extension of the expiration date of the Offer.
