SDRL - Seadrill Announces Expiry of Forbearance Agreements

Hamilton, Bermuda, 1 November 2020 - Reference is made to the announcements by

Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or the "Company") (OSE:SDRL, OTCQX:SDRLF) on 15 and

29 September 2020 regarding forbearance agreements entered into by the Company

with certain creditors in respect of the group's senior secured credit facility

agreements, senior secured notes, and guarantee facility agreement.

The term of the forbearance agreements expired on 31 October 2020, and,

accordingly, the creditors with whom forbearance agreements were entered into

are no longer prevented from taking actions in respect of events of default that

may arise under the senior secured credit facility agreements, senior notes and

guarantee facility agreement as a result of the group not making interest and

charter hire payments under the group's senior secured credit agreements and

leasing arrangements.

The Company continues to maintain its readiness to carry out a comprehensive

restructuring of its balance sheet. Such a restructuring may involve the use of

a court-supervised process. The Company continues to engage in constructive

discussions with its financial stakeholders in relation to potential further

forbearances and the heads of terms of a comprehensive restructuring of its

balance sheet; whilst no agreement has been reached at this point it is expected

that potential solutions will lead to significant equitization of debt which is

likely to result in minimal or no recovery for current shareholders.
