Sevan Drilling Ltd: Sevan Developer Delivery Deferral Period Extended to June 2020

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 5, 2017, Sevan Drilling Ltd ("Sevan" or the "Company")

announces it has amended the delivery deferral period for the Sevan Developer

until June 30, 2020, effective upon receipt of $25.3 million plus interest from

Cosco (Qidong) Offshore Co. Limited ("Cosco"). Receipt is expected by July

31, 2017. During the extended delivery deferral period, Sevan may continue

marketing the rig for an acceptable drilling contract where financing could be

secured to allow delivery.

Cosco now has the option to terminate the deferral period agreements on July

1, 2018 and again on July 1, 2019, which would require Cosco to refund the

remaining $1 million investment balance to Sevan. Other terms and conditions

under the deferral agreement dated 15 October 2014 remain unchanged.
