   Subsequent Event 
 
   Since the end of the second quarter, Seadrill and GDI entered into a 
50:50 joint venture, Gulfdrill, which will initially manage and operate 
five premium jack-ups in Qatar with Qatar Petroleum. The five contracts 
will commence during 2020 and run into 2023 & 2024. The total contract 
value is expected to be $656 million (including mobilization fees). The 
contracts have options which could add up to $700 million in additional 
total contract value. Gulfdrill will initially bareboat charter the West 
Telesto and West Castor from Seadrill and has secured bareboat charters 
for three additional units from a third-party shipyard. 
 
   Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented: 
 
   "Operationally we performed well for our customers in the quarter, 
maintaining a high level of utilization across the active fleet and 
ensuring a safe operating environment for our people. 
 
   From a market perspective we continue to see increased tendering 
activity and a favorable shift in contract terms. While the spot market 
for short term work remains competitive, rates for longer term work are 
improving and there are pockets of strength in the harsh environment, 
high-end ultra deepwater and premium jack-up markets. 
 
   We are excited to partner with GDI and grow our presence in an important 
jack-up market. Gulfdrill will give us the opportunity to improve our 
access to a significant premium jack-up market and strengthen our 
relationship with Qatar Petroleum."
