The sale to HDS replaces the sale to Hong Kong Petrolor Oilfield Services Co Limited (“ Petrolor ”) previously mentioned in the Company’s announcement dated 6 December 2013. The Group has simultaneously rescinded the previously announced sale to Petrolor on a mutually agreeable basis.

HDS is 90% owned by PT Harmoni Drilling Services (“ PT HDS ”). The remaining 10% of HDS is held by AOD. PT HDS is an established drilling contractor in Indonesia with a successful track record of over 6 years of operating drilling jack-up rigs and floaters for international clients operating in Indonesia. With the assistance of PT Harmoni Drilling Services, the Rig has recently been successfully qualified and approved by the Directorate General of Sea Transportation and the Indonesian Classification Society – Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia. This paves the way for the Rig to be qualified for future operations in Indonesia at a competitive day rate compared to non-Indonesian rigs. Through working with PT HDS, AOD is able to fulfill the mandatory local content factor required by the Indonesian Oil and Gas Authority – Direktorat Jenderal Minyak and Gas Bumi, which is in line with the Indonesian Government pillar initiative of supporting growth of indigenous companies. The successful cooperation resulting in TSC’s first high specification Jack-up rig obtaining approvals by Indonesian government positions TSC to effectively tap a still active Indonesian market.

The high specification Rig may bring about significant operational savings and reliable uptime to drilling contractors and Production Sharing Contract (“ PSC ”) operators given the Rig’s superior technical fit for purpose features. In addition, the Rig will bring about high level of technical skill sets transfer from AOD team to local skilled workforce in the long run. We are committed for the Rig to work in Indonesia for the long term.

The rig will on completion by the second quarter of this year be well-primed for securing Oil and Gas drilling contracts with PSC operators in Indonesia.

PT HDS has an excellent track record of operations, safety and cost effectiveness using mainly local Indonesian personnel whilst being qualified by international oil operators. This provides the Rig with the most competitive advantage when participating to win upcoming drilling contract tenders in Indonesia. The Company recognizes the need to be cost competitive in order to win bids for drilling contracts through PT HDS in the current low oil price scenario. PT HDS has a long term goal of becoming a major oilfield services company and sees the opportunity to work with TSC as fully complementary to its long term strategies.
