As previously disclosed in Seadrill Limited’s (“Seadrill”) Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023 (the “2022 Form 20-F”), on December 22, 2022, Seadrill entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Seadrill, Aquadrill LLC (formerly Seadrill Partners), a Marshall Islands limited liability company (“Aquadrill”), and Seadrill Merger Sub, LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Aquadrill, with Aquadrill surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Seadrill (the “Merger”). On April 3, 2023, Seadrill completed the Merger. In connection with the Merger, Seadrill issued approximately 29.9 million common shares, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”), to Aquadrill unitholders and equity award holders, as well as the Chief Executive Officer of Aquadrill, representing approximately 37% of the post-Merger issued and outstanding Common Shares.

As of the date of this report, Seadrill (i) owns 12 floaters (including seven 7th generation drillships, three 6th generation drillships, and two benign environment semi-submersible units), three harsh environment rigs, four benign jackups and three tender-assisted rigs and (ii) manages seven additional rigs under management service arrangements with Sonadrill Holding Ltd. and SeaMex Limited.
