Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented:

"The offshore drilling market continues to show signs of improvement with

increased tendering activity and better contract economics. We expect more

activity in 2019 to lead to a tighter supply demand balance and improved pricing

in 2020 as the recovery progresses.

We are delighted to have entered into a Joint Venture with Sonangol to manage

and operate four rigs focused on the Angolan market. This relationship provides

us with access to a market that is expected to show significant growth over the

next five years as well as an opportunity to continue expanding our fleet of

premium ultra-deepwater rigs.

We remain focused on continued cost reduction and disciplined use of capital

including the terms on which we will contract our premium fleet."
