Paul Bragg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
"During 2010, we completed construction and deployment of the final
unit of our initial five-rig owned fleet. All of the units were
delivered on time and within budget and each was contracted prior
to completion. Since the start up of initial rig operations almost
26 months ago, we have experienced operational excellence across
the fleet, providing safe and efficient drilling services to our
customers. Today, Vantage rigs are employed on some of the
industry's most challenging projects."
On July 30, 2010, Vantage acquired the 55% interest in Mandarin
Drilling Corporation ("Mandarin"), from F3 Capital for $139.7
million. The sole asset of Mandarin was the ultra-deepwater
drillship Platinum Explorer which was then still under
construction. F3 Capital was wholly owned by Hsin-Chi Su, one of
the Company's directors and a significant shareholder of the
Company.
In connection with the acquisition of Mandarin, Vantage issued
$1.0 billion of 11.5% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2015. The
notes have a maturity of five years from the date of issuance and
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vantage and certain of
its subsidiaries. In addition to using the proceeds to fund the
Mandarin acquisition, Vantage also retired certain of its
outstanding credit facilities and its 13.5% Senior Secured
Notes.
The construction of the Platinum Explorer was completed and the
Company took delivery of the drillship on November 15, 2010. The
Platinum Explorer mobilized to India and commenced its five year
drilling contract with Oil & Natural Gas Company on December
29, 2010.
Vantage, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an offshore
drilling contractor, with four Baker Marine Pacific Class 375
ultra-premium jackup drilling rigs operating, and an ultra
deepwater drillship, the Platinum Explorer. Vantage is also
providing management services for four other ultra-deepwater
drillships.
