ITEM 1. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

Seadrill Limited (SDRL) – Seadrill Plan of Reorganization overwhelmingly accepted by all classes of voting creditors and shareholders

Hamilton, Bermuda, October 11, 2021 – Seadrill Limited (SDRL) (“Seadrill” or the “Company”) (OSE:SDRL, OTCPK:SDRLF) has announced the voting results for its Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). All voting classes of stakeholders accepted the Plan, including all 12 credit facilities and general unsecured creditors and shareholders. Over 96% of secured lenders voted, and over 88% of secured lenders accepted the Plan. The following is a summary of the results by class:

Plan Class — 4A	Name — AOD Credit Agreement Claims	100	% [2]
4B	$450MM Eminence Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4C	NADL Credit Agreement Claims	86.89	%
4D	$1.35B Credit Agreement Claims	93.70	%
4E	$950MM Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4F	ECA Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4G	$1.5B Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4H	$1.75B Credit Agreement Claims	71.81	%
4I	$450MM Nordea Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4J	$300MM Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4K	$440MM Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
4L	$400MM Credit Agreement Claims	100	%
6	General Unsecured Claims	91.68	%
9	Equity Interests in Seadrill Limited	85.72	% [3]

[1] Reflects percentage accepting of those voting, by dollar amount of claims, except where otherwise noted. Each voting class also accepted the Plan based on number of creditors voting.

[2] AOD Credit Agreement Claims were unimpaired and accordingly deemed to accept the Plan.

[3] Reflects percentage accepting of those voting by number of shares. As a result of all voting classes of creditors accepting the Plan, existing shareholders are contemplated to receive a recovery of 0.25% of the new equity, subject to dilution.

Based on these results, Seadrill is on track to have its Plan confirmed at the confirmation hearing scheduled for October 26, 2021. If the Plan is confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Court”) on that date, Seadrill is targeting exiting Chapter 11 proceedings approximately 60 days thereafter, subject to certain customary conditions, including certain antitrust approvals.

Grant Creed, CFO, commented: “The near-unanimous acceptance of the Plan by our lenders is another important step towards Seadrill’s emergence from Chapter 11. This has been a long journey to deliver broad support across our creditor constituency, but I am confident that our eventual emergence will place us back at the heart of a sector collectively going through significant re-adjustment and reinforce our position as a market leader.”

The deadline for creditors to have submitted votes on the Plan was October 7, 2021. The results are subject to ongoing review by Prime Clerk, Seadrill’s balloting agent, and remain subject to change. Prime Clerk will file a report certifying the final voting results to the Court by October 22, 2021. Shareholders are reminded that under the Plan, their holding in the post emergence entity will drop to 0.25 percent.
