Sevan Developer

Reference is made to updates dated 27 August 2014 and 22 September 2014. Sevan

and Cosco have agreed to extend the Sevan Developer standstill agreement into

the fourth quarter in order to allow the parties more time to negotiate a later

delivery date as alternative to contract cancellation. Construction of the unit

continues to progress at the shipyard.

Sevan Louisiana

Reference is made to updates dated 19 August 2014, 27 August 2014, and 08

September 2014. The Sevan Louisiana completed repairs to its BOP and tensioner

system and expected to continue earning operational dayrate under its 3 year

contract with LLOG in the Gulf of Mexico within the week starting 06 October

Fleet Utilization for the Third Quarter

Technical utilization for the fleet in the third quarter is approximately 64%

which includes the downtime resulting from the Sevan Louisiana BOP and tensioner

system repairs previously reported and downtime on the Brazil rigs related to

subsea equipment repairs in September.

Migration

Reference is made to the second quarter report dated 27 August 2014. Due to the

negotiations related to delivery of the Sevan Developer, the Board has decided

to postpone the initiation of the migration process from Norway to Bermuda until

the fourth quarter 2014.
