• As previously reported, on August 19, 2020, Valaris plc (the “Company”) and certain of its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Valaris plc, et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). On February 5, 2021, the Debtors filed the Debtor’s Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) and on March 3, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan. The Plan is expected to become effective on April 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”).

In connection with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.40 were frozen and removed from trading. Additionally, the number of holders of record of the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.40 is less than 300. Accordingly, this Form 15 is being filed for the purpose of suspending the Company’s duty to file reports under Sections 12(g), 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Valaris plc has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
