Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
On April 20, 2020, Nabors Industries Ltd.
(the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting,
shareholders were requested to approve proposals to (i) amend the Company’s share capital to effect a reverse stock split
of the Company’s common shares at a ratio not less than 1-for-15 and not greater than 1-for-50, with the exact ratio to be
set within that range at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors before the effective date of the reverse
stock split without further approval or authorization of the Company’s shareholders (the “Reverse Stock Split”),
together with a corresponding proportional reduction in the number of authorized common shares and a proportional increase in the
par value for such authorized common shares (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), (ii) increase the Company’s
authorized common share capital by 100% following the proportional reduction in the number of authorized common shares as a result
of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Share Capital Increase Proposal”) and (iii) amend the Company’s Bye-Laws in
respect of its share capital (the “Bye-Laws Amendment”), each as more fully described in the Company’s Definitive
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020.

On
April 20, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-50.
As
a result of the Reverse Stock Split, 50 pre-split common shares will automatically combine into one new common share, without
any action on the part of the shareholders. The Company’s authorized number of common shares will also be proportionally
decreased from 800,000,000 to 16,000,000 common shares, and the par value of each common share will be proportionally increased
from $0.001 to $0.05. In addition, the Company's authorized common share capital will increase by 100% following the proportional
reduction in the number of authorized common shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional common shares will be
issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional common shares of registered holders resulting from the Reverse Stock
Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
