Main events

Early 2023, the Company signed a well based bareboat charter (the "BBC") for the Drillship "Deep Value Driller" with Saipem as Charterer, which commenced operation November 1, 2023.

April 14, 2025 the Company amended the BBC with Saipem (the "Amended BBC") for a period of 365 days from July 1, 2025 (the "Initial Period"), with an option for the Charterer within the first 6 months of the Initial Period to extend the Amended BBC with an additional 365 days (the "Second Period").

The Initial Period will add in the range of USD 54-55 million in revenue backlog, assuming no idle period for the Drillship or other periods where reduced rates may apply as per the Amended BBC.

The rig left Ghana 6 October 2025, for an approximately 105-day (+ one optional well est. 90 days) contract in Indonesia. The Drillship has shown excellent operational performance also in Indonesia during first quarter of 2026.

On 25. December 2025 the Amended BBC was extended until 31 July 2026.

On 25th of February 2026 the company signed an SPA to sell the Drillship to Eldorado Drilling AS for USD 300m. Eldorado Drilling AS paid USD 70m to DVD when the SPA was signed and the remaining USD 230m will be paid when the drillship is delivered to Eldorado Drilling AS. The delivery of the vessel is expected to take place in 2nd half of 2026.

Total distribution of dividends Q1 2026 was 0,45 NOK per share.
