Commenting today, Anton Dibowitz, CEO and President of Seadrill Management Ltd.,

said:

"Our primary objective at the moment is concluding final negotiations on our

comprehensive restructuring plan, which is at an advanced stage and likely to be

implemented via Chapter 11 proceedings on or before 12th September 2017.

Our business execution remains unaffected by these efforts as demonstrated by

continued delivery of excellent safety and fleet uptime.

Although the market continues to be challenging, continued operational execution

and strong customer relationships has enabled us to re-contract a number of

units during the quarter. With a young versatile fleet and upon completion of

our restructuring, we will be well placed to capitalize when the market

recovers."
