SDRL - Seadrill Limited Intention to Delist from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)

Hamilton, Bermuda, June 1, 2020 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or the "Company")

today announces its intention to delist from the New York Stock Exchange

(NYSE).

On March 26, 2020, Seadrill received written notice from the NYSE that it was

not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard with respect to the

minimum average share price required, because the average closing price of its

common shares had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive

trading days. On April 8, 2020, the Company provided the required notice to the

NYSE, in which the Company stated its intent to seek a cure of its non

-compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard at that time.

Given a material change in the macro environment and the impact of COVID-19 on

the Company, and taking into account other factors associated with maintaining a

NYSE listing, the Board of Directors has determined that delisting from the NYSE

is in the best interests of the Company.

The Company has notified the NYSE of the Board's decision to proceed with a

delisting. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the US Securities and

Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about June 11, 2020 in order to delist its

common shares from the NYSE, which will occur ten days thereafter upon

effectiveness of the Form 25. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the last

day of trading on the NYSE will be on or about June 19, 2020, which is the last

trading day prior to the effectiveness of the Form 25.

Seadrill Limited will retain its listing on the Oslo Børs under the ticker

symbol 'SDRL'. A shareholder who wishes to transfer its shares between the NYSE

and the Oslo Stock Exchange should contact its broker for more information in

this respect. The Company anticipates that its common shares will trade in the

over the counter ("OTC") market if one or more brokers chooses to make a market

for our common shares. The Company does not expect the transition to the OTC to

affect business operations.  The decision to delist will not impact the

Company's intent to continue to make required filings with the SEC.
